Let's discuss about the upcoming 2nd Galacticos Era. As we all know, Real has so far bought Kaka, Ronaldo, Raul Albiol and Benzema. But many questions will arise throughout Real's organisation. Here are some that I can think of:
- Where the hell does Real get their money from? So far, they've spent 178m euros. Are they going to be in debt later on? Are they still going to buy more players?!?!
- What formation will they play? They have Kaka, Ronaldo, Benzema on the team. A 4-5-1 formation with 2 holding midfielders behind Kaka?
- Club Captain Raul. Benched? Playing? Sold? He still has plenty of power & authority in the dressing room. And the rest of the old guard. How will they fit into the new formation?
- Which players will be sold? The Dutch contingent? Who would insist on staying and being a part of the new Galacticos?
- Manuel Pellegrini; can he orchestrate the new team's success? Or will he eventually be humbled by the number of superstar players due to their earning power and forced to pick them because of their reputation over the other "average" players even though these players are on form?
- Lack of defensive talent; same problem as when Makelele was sold. So far, only Raul Albiol has joined the team.
- Lastly, the biggest question of all: Can they overcome Barcelona's own homegrown talent next season?

They get loans from banks. No bank wants to be known as the one that caused RM's downfall.
- What formation will they play? They have Kaka, Ronaldo, Benzema on the team. A 4-5-1 formation with 2 holding midfielders behind Kaka?
I've no clue what formation their gonna play.
But if i'm not wrong, Pellegrini prefers a 4-4-2 diamond formation.
- Club Captain Raul. Benched? Playing? Sold? He still has plenty of power & authority in the dressing room. And the rest of the old guard. How will they fit into the new formation?
He's untouchable. ![]()

Reported that Sneijder wants to stay. Which is quite puzzling. Maybe he's hoping Pellegrini will play him more often unlike Ramos.
- Manuel Pellegrini; can he orchestrate the new team's success? Or will he eventually be humbled by the number of superstar players due to their earning power and forced to pick them because of their reputation over the other "average" players even though these players are on form?
I bet he isn't even the one making these signings .
Got a feeling he'll turn out like Schuster.
- Lack of defensive talent; same problem as when Makelele was sold. So far, only Raul Albiol has joined the team.
They did get Diarra in Jan though.
- Lastly, the biggest question of all: Can they overcome Barcelona's own homegrown talent next season?
No. ![]()
They need team players who play for the greater good of the team... xavi, iniesta, alonso etc...
IMO Benzema and Higuin upfront. Defense they still got Marcelo and Pepe. Tatic most likely 4-4-2. Ronaldo wing, kaka mid.
