Its on the AS Roma site. Good luck to Cicinho then. I always liked him. Superb player. Shame to see him go, but its the best for both. I hope he can show that he can be a fantastic RB, because he is!

Good luck Cicinho (Nr.11 is free, Robben's number?!)

You brought upa good point Hammy, lets review our financial spending

Metzelder = I dont know (but I think it falls under last years budget, he was baough prior to end of season
Saviola = Free Transfer (bosman Ruling)
Dudek = Free Transfer (end of Contract)
Soldado = Free Transfer (return from loan)
Baptista = Free Transfer (return from loan
Snijder = 25M
Drenthe = 18M
Robben = 36M
Heinze = 12.5M
Helguera= Free Transfer to Valencia
Roberto Carlos = Free Transfer
Beckham= Free Transfer
Emerson = +5M
Cicinho= +8M
___________________
Total Spend= 71.5M

That's a lot of money, a lot, for a team of Real's buying power is still high....
What worries me most is the sheer amount of new players that we have, I hope we can hang on till January cause I think we will take a while to gel

we wont be buying players next year..
only kaka
this squad will last forever

 

[justhammy]

Drenthe was 13 mil and Sneijder was 27 mil But yeah we spent alot of money. Now stop the sh*t! Because this team is perfect. No more additions!

 

[MaSsiVe]

add Pepe to that list and the total goes up to ~100M €

 

[big al]

*****ING FIANALLY.

now we can say this this team is complete, glad thats over, we need to get rid of someplayers and our squad will be one of the most balanced in europe.

these cules a really getting happy and underasamating us big time, can wait untill it all blows up in there face ( which it will).

getting robben wont fix some of our problems imidiatlly, we are still gonna need time to perform the way schuster wants us 2. but i think by january well be ready.

so this is the team well be playing.

Ramos........Pepe.......cannavaro......hienze
.......................Diarra..........................
........Robinho...........Sniejder.........Robben
....................Raul..............................
......................RVN.............................

RM will be Robinhos starting position but he will be given the freedom to roam around.

wow, great squad guys, its looks pretty balanced to me, i just hope if things dont go your way and im not saying they arent, you guys dont use as an excuse that you guys are in a stage of rebuilding, the truth is you guys have now one of the most competitive teams in europe, if you guys use the half of the heart and balls you use last season , you guys are serious competitors to win it all, it doesnt matter if you are gelling well or not as some might put it; at least us ( barca ) dont have any excuses anymore, we have our team complete, we bought players in positions we need it, and still keept our base star players, so we are going for it all as well.

i wanna say this , this season is gonna be a cracker.

 

[R.9]

Wow !! With these final signings the team is complete. Now is just a matter of time to see this team in action.

 

[Arnau]

nah the best can do madrid is

-------------------casillas-----------------------
Ramos------caranabo-----heinze----------drenthe--

----------------------gago-----------------------
--------------diarra------------------------------
-------------------------sneijder-----------------
---------Robinho--------------------robben-------
----------------------RVN-----------------------

 

[MaestroZidane]

Now there can't be any excuses from schuster if he is unable to produce results..

just done the calculations using wikipedia:spent 116 mill on players, and weve made 29.3 from selling other players.

so that takes our totall spending to 86.7 mill this summer, not bad for 8 players.

that makes it about 10 mill a player, with the average age of those 8 players being 25.

this is something to be proud of, we have spent a lot of money but compared to before when we would of probably spent 85 mill on 2 or 3 players it aint bad, also all the players we have signed are quite young.

 

[Hala_Madrid]

I wanted Robben allot, and Im still more sad that we lost Cicinho more than I am happy we signed Robben.
He was my favourit player on the team after Raul and Robinho. Alwways happy amd smiling.
He was a great player too, but then came the injury and no one gave him a chance.


Now, there are 2 options:

--------------Casillas-------------------
ramos----Cannavaro-----Pepe-----Heinze
----------------Diarra------------------
Robinho--------Sneijder----------Robben
-----------------------Raul-------------
-----------Van Nistelrooy---------------

And the seccond one:
--------------Casillas-------------------
ramos----Cannavaro-----Pepe-----Heinze
----------------Diarra------------------
Robben--------Sneijder----------Drenthe
-----------------------Robinho---------
-----------Van Nistelrooy---------------

 

[Socrates]

Actually no one knows how much we spent right now, for instance Drenthe can cost UP TO 14 million euros but that's only if he fulfills the extra's in his transfer agreemnent ( like if he played enough games/title's won and etc ) so really we won't know for sure how much we have spent on players but either way we have one hell of a team and we got rid of a few that needed to go aswell.

Also one more thing with the singing of Henize I think we will see Torres as a backup to the RB or CB ( which will be better for him ). So it should all be good, I will post more on this when I get home.

 

[KingPaulV]

I think the first of the two lineups is going to be the way we come out against atletico......sadly, we are going to lineup Robben from the Go, I am telling you, that is not proper planning but it will happen...same for Heinze

Against Atletico I would line up with

Casilla (if he is healthy)
Ramos-Pepe-Canna-Marcelo
Diarrah
Robihno-Drenthe
Sneijder
Saviola
RVN

That would be my starters for Saturday

 

[OrgulloVikingo]

Yea, no excuses for Schuster now. On paper we are super deadly, one of the best sides in the world now for sure. Lets hope that paper translates well into the field. This opener against pathetico, at home, is the pivotal game. I have afeeling we will rock, I just feel it. By the way, where did Cicinho go?

 

[KingPaulV]

Roma 8M

 

[mega montana]

damn, i'm loving this team too. No excuses for Schuster (though I will give him months before passing judgement). Getafe tied Barca for the least amount of goals allowed last season, so I am hoping our defense will solidify when the season starts.

Hala Madrid!

 

[KingPaulV]

i say it now and mark my words...Lets all have patience until about January the scores might not reflect our player quality until january it takes time........I tell you this; if they give this group some time to mold by the end of january we are going to be unbeatable able to take every trophy home for the next few years.....problem is; will people and the board give Schuster and his prodigies time, and will we survive the tournaments until then without incurring any major setbacks like against Sevilla?? that is the question

 

[MaestroZidane]

The one title I want this season is the CL, If Schuster can show me that he is capable of bringing it, Then I will be a much happier man.

Love the team that we have on paper, now lets go on and win some games.. HALA MADRID!!
