Madrid’s plan, seemingly, is to always grab the headline players whether or not they’re a good fit with what they already have. I’m so proud of FCB how they build from within primarily and then add to that core smartly.

Modric is basically wasted because Ozil is a little better, and Kaka, who won the Ballon d’Or not very long ago, is a deep afterthought. So now Bale is going to go to the club that already has the best player in the world at his position?

The salary is great, but good look getting as many cushy marketing deals if you don’t see the field as often or where you play best.
