he is worth the 30mil price tag. high football IQ, he was really good in the u21 euros

by Nedved Thu Jul 11, 2013 10:32 pm

Illarramendi was initially agreed for €30 and now their President changed his mind and is demanding €40 million. WTF

I imagine that had to do more with the fact Neymar plays at the same position as CR does. Now, that would have been 60/80 mil down the drain, this 30/40 were actually invested in a position which we needed to strengthen.

Anyway, as I said in another thread, are people still really shocked that we always overpay for our transfers? Personally I couldn't care less, we can afford it, it stings much more when we sell our players for ridiculously low prices - although we've been improving.

thats his real valuations but due to various reasons we had to pay his buyout plus alittle more

by FalcaoPunch Fri Jul 12, 2013 3:52 pm

We have the money to do it, so why not.
For that amount, everyone will expect a lot and hope he will be instrumental for us.

Now we can include him in our predicted lineups Thumbs up

by halamadrid2 Fri Jul 12, 2013 3:55 pm

we have so many players on our squad now. about 27 no? Adan will leave

I wonder who else will get sold

by FalcaoPunch Fri Jul 12, 2013 4:14 pm

Maybe coentrao

yeah he seems reluctant to stay but even then I think we will buy a replacement for him. For the love of god the almighty I hope it is Kaka.

by Valkyrja Fri Jul 12, 2013 10:17 pm

What about Pepe ? Is he staying /

by McAgger Fri Jul 12, 2013 10:27 pm

If we don't promote Denis and get rid of Adan it brings the squad to 25 which looks the likeliest scenario.

by MadridiCanada Fri Jul 12, 2013 10:32 pm

32 million, what a f***ing joke! this kid has nothing extraordinary about him ffs! we are burning money

i'd rather have spent this money to lure in gondegon or de rossi

by chad4401 Fri Jul 12, 2013 11:02 pm

football is not about looking flashy all the time, its also about positioning, being tactical and vision, illarra is showing promising talent in these fields add his growing passing range and defensive skills, he could turn into a midfield general of elite levels if giving time to develop further, that why we are gambling on him so heavily to take that step with us

by FalcaoPunch Sat Jul 13, 2013 12:00 am

He's a great investment for the future especially when you consider Alonso's future.

by MadridiCanada Sat Jul 13, 2013 12:41 am

what kind of F***ing investment on a young kid costs 32 million!!!!

by RealGunner Sat Jul 13, 2013 1:00 am

Well it will be clear if it paid off or not in few years. He is very talented, and it will be hard to see him fail.

by Crimson Sat Jul 13, 2013 3:46 am

Amazing young player, 32m or 50m who cares, not like money means anything to us, richest sporting club in the world people, let that sink in for a second.

32m is chump change.

by MadridiCanada Sat Jul 13, 2013 3:59 am

we are inflating the market! i don't want Real madrid to be the new manchester city !!!!

you know what is a smart investment? 10 m for Varane!!! that's called a smart investment

32 million for a DM/DLP who is so young is like burning money, it's a disgrace!!! its a shamee

He's 23, a needed player and there is no one else available who can play his role as well.

How is this burning money ffs.

by Adit Sat Jul 13, 2013 4:38 am

Given our state of midfield currently no body can fault Perez for triggering his release clause..We needed a midfielder desperately and there is very few midfielders out there who can pass and defend at the same time.Another option was De Rossi but he is 30 and not worth paying 30 mill (Romas asking price) for a 30 year old who has never played out side of Serie A.

Varane was a risk and a once in a blue moon scenario. He was getting some playing time his first season but not much. Wasn't ahead of albiol but that actually changed the following season thanks to his performances in CL due to the Ramos bust up and injuries/suspensions to our first choice CB. Hadn't things changed he may have left.

I'm glad it payed off though.
