Julien Faubert?
Jonathan Woodgate?
Antonio Cassano?
Geremi?
Gabriel Heinze?

Discuss and see if you can think of any more.

David Beckham, not because of his quality as a player or what he performed for us. But because of what he represented. We bought him even though we had the worlds best right winger in Figo, there was no need for the second best aswell. And he was bought on the expense of Ronaldinho, who would have been ours if not for Beckham. Imagine if Barcelona never had Ronaldinho, no CL 05/06, no comfort to build a team long term (since there would have been title panic), maybe this Barcelona would have never been if it wasn't for Dinho.

And imagine (if we kept Makélélé aswell):

Makélélé
Figo-Zidane-Ronaldinho
Raúl-Ronaldo

Why did you write that? Made me feel so sad

That lineup would have been the best of all time .

He gave a lovely debut match too

That match turned him into a cult hero though, instead of a hated figure lols.

I think beckham. when he came, i started to despise all the commercialization and everything. God had beckham gone to barcelona and we got etoo, how different life could have been.
I have always resented that transfer more than any deal madrid has done.

Woodgate by a country mile!

Drenthe
Cicinho
Pablo Garcia
Carlos Diogo
Woodgate
Anelka
Faubert
Huntelaar

David Beckham was the signing of the century, for the record.

he did bring alot of money though

Kaka is up there, Cassano, Woodgate, Walter Samuel, great player never performed for us

faubert or woodgate by miles ahead of the others mentioned.

wtf? why is huntelaar there? He did perform and was actually quite decent. Huntelaar arrival was badly timed imo. had he arrived earlier i believe he wud still be here.

people have to stop it with the david becham stuff

just because the club went into a different direction and not a pleasant one, it doesnt mean it was his fault, it has more to do with the timing, ya he wasnt needed, but its not like HE killed the whole team.

I enjoyed beckham being here. Wish he didnt leave in 07 .

for what huntelaar did in this short time cant even put him close to this list.

if huntelaar had benzemas name and price tag he would still be here. the kid was given <6 months.

Literally, EPIC formation.

Imagine if we had actually played that for several years in a row...

Can you say el duodécimo???

Didnt ever say he did not gave everything for the club or didnt play well. but for me he was the worst signing real madrid have ever made. Its like real madrid lost its whole identity as a football club with him there. He did not kill the team, his signing led the management to kill the team. THE WHOLE TEAM.

Graversen anyone?

Some notable mentions:
Flavio Concecaio
Bjalic (The next Mijatovic, lol)
Walter Samuel (Spanish football really wasn't his thing)

I agree about Beckham, or mainly the symbolism of Beckham.

Woodgate is hilarious though,
