that is so true. and the rm training academy produced some of the greatest. heck the best real madrid player right now, casillas, went through it, you'd think they'd give someone else a chance. and like you said it's not even working for them, in my opinion it's because buying players from all those big clubs with different styles makes the team a lot less coherent.
You should really bank the moneyzz you got for ronaldo. for a goalkeeper if you plan on competing next year, vds was amazing for you.
