Is that it? Yet Ribery just said be would say no thanks to Madrid. Your club is run like a kebab shop. Robben and Sneijder, two players ostracised won the cl. Barcelona are in vogue and most ppl would pick barca over Madrid @tm. Madrid have very little chance of winning anything bar the copa. I'd only go there to collect a pay cheque like Kaka

That's your counter-argument? Because Ribery at the age of 30 says he wouldn't go to Madrid? lol. He was desperate to come to Madrid in 2008 or 2009 and Bayern blocked. Now that he's a legend at Bayern, they're the best club in the world and he's settled, he says he'd stay... what a stunning slap in the face to Madrid. How will we recover!

Your arguments are pathetic straw man attempts Jibers. Make a proper argument showing the merits of another club compared to Madrid in terms of prestige and international recognition. I know you have it in you.

SAF's reign of the last 26 years, which is considered the most successful for its period (falsely imo):

Man U
13 Premier League Titles
5 FA Cups
2 CLs

Madrid
11 La Liga titles
3 CDRs
3 CLs

When SAF too over united were a pub club battling relegation. Had no youth set up and the first 11 were made up of benzemas, fat waste of spaces. No youth set up, no scouting, hadn't win the EPL for 20+ years lol. Madrid were in the era of Quinte del bu.

Strong logic

Strong everything

good. so Barca has superior stats in the last 26 years.
Anyway my point is that it is subjective for each one depending on how much impact the past has for you. And how deep in the past of course.
Sorry but the 50’s are too far for me to relate.

it's all a matter of opinion mate.
For me the most prestigious club in the European stage is Milan.
Sorrybut 5 European trophies in the 50's don't impress me that much compared to Milan's domiance over the years.
Again the whole "overall title collection" arguement is great but I try focus in ages that football wasn't played in the court of King Arthur. And that doesn't have anything to do with Barca's golden years i can asure you

Opa! Billy Opa! Proud

I should say that we have been battered left and right in Europe for a few years now, dont think we'd be that attractive for players presently

Club history is irrelevant to a player when deciding who to sign for, no matter how much they spew about it after the fact

by sportsczy Wed May 29, 2013 2:28 pm

For you perhaps... but parents influence kids and kids typically start by following what the parents like. You often have 3 generations that idolize Real Madrid and can point to legendary players and games in their era of interest. Being a legend where a club has a 10 year relevant history is a bit lol. 25 years, it's getting serious. More than 25 years, now you've got some real critical mass of legendary level players to compete against. 50 years... there are only 3 clubs in the world that have that kind of history: Santos, Liverpool and Real Madrid. Only one of those 3 that has been consistently elite in that span is Madrid.

It's easy to be a legend when the club is young in its success and doesn't have a lot of competition for the status. The harder it is to achieve something, the more prestigious it is usually.

by billy_gr Wed May 29, 2013 2:32 pm

Ok no need to analyze this further. We can agree to disagree.
However my view is that if you are willing to “cash in” your past time legacy, you should be equally ready to recognize it when it’s damaged.

Peace, I’m out.

by 1991 Wed May 29, 2013 8:25 pm

Really it depends on the player, for south americans right now in general i'd say it's Barca, i know Madrid fans like to repeat ''biggest club in the world'' till they are blue in the face but Barca are much more attractive right now, and i guarentee if Madrid started to slash their spending and paid wages like Dortmund pretty much every non Spanish player wouldn't give toss about Madrids ''prestige''

Theres so many factors but the biggest is definitely money.

Madrid are a joke and no one wants to play for them. There's a reason Higuain, Benzema, Ronaldo etc are all desperate to leave.

Chelsea is pretty attractive as well. Earn shitloads of money, compete for trophies, London nightlife, fastest growing club in the World etc

how so?
u really should stop watching so much Foxsoccer
