I agree with everything ed1 says, Real had a shocker getting rid of Di Maria and replacing him with James.

Great, exactly what I wanted to hear.
Thank you Ed001.

Done well to convince these big clubs to take him and the silly wages on board!

Ha. The rumour mill is running out of water.

Madrid dumped di Maria for him because he looks better in underwear.

Didn't the Barcelona president (or former, I can't remember) claim that both Ozil and Di Maria were "sold because they were too ugly"?

Yes, someone prominent did say that hsf. Real Madrid are primarily a fashion house and secondarily a football club.

Had one storming World Cup and a poster worthy face - marketers dream but a true football coaches nightmare.

Indeed, the ex Barcelona president did say that, and i actually believe him. I actually find it quite insulting that players want to go to madrid so badly. When you go there its never about the football, its about the image. No culture or grace, just flashyness. If you go you can guarantee that the boss that brought you in will be gone in a few months and you will probably be sold for being too ugly, having fisticuffs with Princess Ronaldo, or because they have found a player even flashier than yourself to replace you. As awesome as their champions league success has been in recent years, it disgusts me they are at the top of the footballing food chain.

See if what you are saying is correct. Then wtf is Gareth Bale still doing there? Haha.

{Ed001's Note - because he is going to be the new face of the H&M marketing campaign. They need someone to wear that monkey top to prove they are not really racist and Peter Reid is a bit old for a modelling career.}

Ironic, considering bale looks like one of the characters from the original planet of the apes.

In fairness, Real haven't exactly done badly on the field recently for a club that's 'primarily a fashion house' - 3 CL titles and one league title in the last 4 years?

Lol someone at H&M had a shocker of a day when he thought that would be a good idea. The worrying thing is someone in that marketing team who gets paid a lot of money stormed in with something that would have been unacceptable decades ago, the mind boggles.
