Madrid is a graveyard for so many players.

Hazard hasn’t worked out at Madrid either. Doesn’t mean he ain’t good

Hazard isn't world class for me. Not consistent enough and drifts in too many games.

Frankfurt conned West Ham out of £40m for his strike partner as well.

I have had a real heart to heart with admin over it. Just some misunderstandings with previous accounts, I am here to stay now. Sorry if you thought I wasn't coming back.

Madrid haven’t spent 500m in the last two seasons.

hazard's problems at madrid have been down to fitness and injury issues tbh

the few times he has been fit and injury free...he played well (think about 3 times in total )

United were linked with this guy in the Summer.

Surprised City and West Ham didn't make a move for him.

Over the 2018/19 and 2019/20 seasons they have according to Transfermarkt.

No idea how accurate these are, but:

Eden Hazard €115.00m
Luka Jovic €63.00m
Éder Militão €50.00m
Ferland Mendy €48.00m
Rodrygo €45.00m
Reinier €30.00m
Vinícius Júnior €45.00m
Thibaut Courtois €35.00m
Álvaro Odriozola €30.00m
Mariano Díaz €21.50m
Brahim Díaz €17.00m
Andriy Lunin €8.50m
Omar Mascarell €4.00m

Plus some shrapnel here and there.

Adds up to over €500m.

(Obviously doesn't represent balance sheet movements, etc. blah blah blah)

Omg they signed Diaz too from City. Last seen in January 2019....

^ Two of those players (Courtois and Mendy) have started at least half of Real's league games so far this season.

Hazard is a quality player, Courtois is a good Gk, and I know the lad Vinicus is highly rated, but beyond that, I couldn't tell you if that's money well spent or not.

Haz is a natural fat boy that managed to control it just long enough to get to Madrid

He was very good. Went there a couple of years too late imo and now appears to have Alexis Sanchez syndrome.

Worse than COVID-19 that.

Your head goes to absolute shiiiiit, you lose all coordination in your limbs, and you’re perpetually falling over with a confused look on your face. Also appears to impact eyesight and ability to communicate with those around you.

Strangely, pianist sufferers can still somehow bash out a right old tune on the joanna.

Some clubs/ teams suit certain players.

Hazard, Sanchez, Shevchenko, Torres, Henry.

Arguably more to do with them past their best or on the verge of decline at the time of moving.

Shevchenko was 29. Torres just 26 Henry was young when he moved to Arsenal.

That’s three seasons. They only made signings the summer Zidane returned to the club, when they spent about €350m. They didn’t sign anyone in the summer, which is why they’re struggling.

But they’ve wasted a hell of a lot of money over the last few years. Not just on transfers, but ridiculous wages as well. Extending Bale’s contract then selling Ronaldo was one of the worst decisions they’ve ever made.

Getting £90m plus for Ronaldo at his age wasn't a bad bit of business

It was when you look at want they’ve spent trying to replace him. And what they’ve paid Bale for playing golf.
