Di Maria transfer from Benfica was around 30 million too. I think Di Maria was around 40 mil. But ok, Di Maria was much worth of these money so far. 36, if I'm not wrong. It was the highest sell ever made by a portuguese team ever! But after that some players were sold for more money (Falcao, Hulk, Axel Witsel, James Rodríguez) so it doesn't have that title anymore.

Im sorry but i really hate those teams with incredible debts that gets support from banks in wich a lot of euro money is pumped into to stay them alive (yes tax money from you and me!).... yet buying players for crazy money in the time we live in. Top3 spanish teams have a total debt of almost 1000mil !!!!! I have no idea how people can take that still serious, whole Euro soccer is so messed up since the last 10 years. That is a very interesting point you have there, and I think most football fans aren't that interested in discussing this problem. In Portugal, our clubs have debts too, specially the top 3 clubs that dominate portuguese football since it was created (Benfica, Sporting Lisbon and FC Porto). These clubs ask for loans to portuguese banks to allow them to survive every year and even buy some players. Unfortunately for Benfica (my favourite club), the bank that used to loan money to them (BES - Banco Espírito Santo | if you read the international news you must have read about this bank in the last weeks) is currently in a hard situation. It's a complicated case and I won't bother explaining what is happening, but this situation puts Benfica in hard times, because now the club can't ask that bank for more loans and they are worried (I presume) that the new direction of that bank will force Benfica to pay for all the money they received in so many consecutive loans they made these years. I'm talking about 200€ million that Benfica might have to pay to that bank in just a few months! That's why Benfica is selling all the starters they can sell and also some young players with potential. They need money and they need it now! This will be a hard season... Other players (most of them europeans, I can give you the example of Markovic who is now in Liverpool) are bought by International Funds and then those Funds put those players in one of our top 3 clubs. Basically these funds use the best portuguese clubs to value new players and then some European rich clubs come to Portugal and buy those players for a lot of money, but most of it goes to the Funds, not to the clubs. And that's how portuguese football is nowadays.

The European Super Cup will be played tonight in Cardiff between the current holders of the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid and the current holders of the UEFA Europa League, Sevilla. Tonight we will see the most expensive attack in the world including Cristiano Ronaldo (94 mil. €), Gareth Bale (91 mil. €), Karim Benzema (35 mil. €) and James Rodriguez (80 mil. €) with a combined worth of more than 300 million euros!
I hope for an exciting match and a win for Real Madrid Its almost here! I hope we will see Di Maria in the starting lineup, instead of Benzema, with Bale and James. Like... Modric-Kroos; Di Maria-James-Bale; Ronaldo

James was a disappointment. It makes me sad when I see players like Isco and Di Maria on the bench. Look at Madrid's midfield this season: Khedira, Kroos, Illarra, Xabi Alonso, James, Modrić, Di Maria and Isco. That is just too much good players in one team.

The transfer window is still open and some of them will leave probably. I think they have enough solid MFs and only master striker can come to Real, like Falcao, on replacing Benzema - I like Benzema but he isnt the killer and he burns chances into nothing.

By the way, the match wasn't so interesting, our SpaceSpeedGol tournament was better. And nobody pays us. Today's German SuperCup between Bayern and Bor. Dortmund at 18cet looks to be more fun :-)

I would sell Di Maria right away if someone offered more than 50M €. Khedira should be sold too. Falcao wouldn't be a good choice for Real Madrid because they have wingers who cut inside (Ronaldo & Bale), they need a striker with a good passing ability so he can pass in space to them. Playing James as a false 9 would also be an option.

It can go like Dutch sales in Real with Robben, Drenthe, Van der Vaart, Huntelaar, Sneijder and each of them was sold far below their cost. Other teams knew they are for sale like they know it in this situation too. But yeah, if nobody offers a solid bid, Di Maria can remain in the team and wait on miracle (injuries) all season long.
