remember my series of rants long ago about how Real could possible semi collapse, and how all the big clubs should block them from signing all the huge players?
So far the only things that have went in their favour from stopping that (to a point) is Benz having insane seasons at an advanced age, and Vini Jr finally playing to a WC level at times
the only add so far is (unfortunately) Rudiger, grrrrrrr, but they have had multiple huge misses now
the last 3 years they have added (good buys in bold) (the only added players missing if you go back even 4 years, not 3 , are Vini and Cuntois)
Eduardo Camavinga (this is on potential, he is not a starter for them atm)
Reinier (potentially, but he did almost nothing at Dortmund on loan)
David Alaba
Eden Hazard (massive bust)
Luka Jović (massive bust)
Éder Militão (meh, absolutely not sold on him at all, but he is not a bust by any means)
Ferland Mendy
Rodrygo (finally seems to be playing better, but could perhaps go into the bsut category)
but they also have lost
Achraf Hakimi
Theo Hernández
Mateo Kovacic
Marcos Llorente
Raphaël Varane
Sergio Ramos (would be bold, but he is aged out)
Sergio Reguilón
Keylor Navas
James
Raúl de Tomás
Martin Ødegaard
Gareth Bale (leaves on a free, has been so poor lately)
those losses BLOW away those adds IMHO
