Real Madrid GM Jorge Valdano says their buying spree is far from over.

“In the beginning we had to hurry but now we can hold back,” Valdano told Punto Radio.

“We will continue to buy great footballers because it has been demonstrated that this philosophy is right. We are a club that wants to be a leader and this is possible only with the best in the world,” he explained.

i think Barca & its fans should face their own problem & stop interfering with madrid's affair. if not, we are going to buy the whole barca & Nou camp stadium & turn it into our castilla & training pitch respectively. Hala! madrid

Gogo you completely missed the point i was making. understandable. Perez has done a good job at pulling the wool over madridista eyes since he first appeared. Look at the last galactico era. the success was very poor. like the harlem globetrotters - looked nice on the good days, but did not win that much as the balance was not there to be a proper team. Barcelona and Man U have achieved so much more by spending a fraction of the amount and developed young players. It may work, it may not (Buying ribery would be a negative as mentioned but you failed to understand the reasoning). This would not happen with proper clubs, not even chelsea as abramovich is a businessman. possibly the oil-rich, brain-poor arabs at Man City but nowhere else. Make no mistake, had Madrid not got the support of a corrupt government the club would be bankrupted numerous times. Or perhaps another way might get you flag-waving no marks to understand. IF IT WAS TRULY A WORTHY INVESTMENT ALL THE BIG CLUBS WOULD DO IT AS ALL THE BANKS WOULD LEND THE MONEY AS IT WOULD BE GOOD BUSINESS FOR THEM. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, would be throwing money at Man United to buy players. They don't because it is all just a load of nonsence and these professional companies will not go anywhere near Madrid as it is not and has never been a business. Perez is all about the ego and yet those without the ability of independent rational thought lap it all up.

Rageaholic, you can compare Chelsea with Barcelona or Arsenal??? You're stupid or what??? Look, Real Madrid spend a lot of money for a FOOTBALL PLAYERS not a stars, yes they are a stars at the same time but they are the best football players in 2007 and 2008 respectively! ...Benzema is 21 years old and they bought him for 35 milions!!! Be carefuly please, 35 milion worth Xabi Alonso, older and an defensive midfielder, position which is cheaper than an attacker!!! VDV, Sneijder, Huntelaar, all they are very good players but they don't have that last thing to be succesful with the best club in the world, REAL MADRID! Like Perez said, this players are investment, not waste a money! HALA MADRID!!!
