What would you say if Juve would go out and buy Messi and Ronaldo for incredible money while we have the worst defence in the league? Would it be "good for football"? :D

I think it's some sort of acceptance ritual. Before you can enter Real's lockerroom, you have to let Guti have his way with you. Whichs ends up with you having your way with Guti as that's what he wants.

Not exactly. One or two defenders were always going to be part of Perez's transfer market.
No matter how strong the midfield and attack are, you simply can't win much if you have only Pepe, Ramos, Heinze, Marcelo, Metzelder and Salgado in defense. They don't even have two players for every position. An injury of one of Pepe/Ramos and all goes to hell. After Cannavaro left, they even have one starter less than last year, when their defense was again too shaky.

Maicon is perfect solution. You get the best full back in the world, you make the CD stronger by putting Pepe and Ramos there and the only weak link in the team remains the LB, but even here Marcelo might finally explode.

With Maicon it will be a well balanced team. Strong keeper, strong defense with full backs who attack and defend, one or two players to cover for the attacking midfielders (L. Diarra and maybe M. Diarra), Kaka, Ronaldo and the attackers responsible for scoring.

It will finally start to look like a hell of a team.
I dont really think Ramos is a great CB .. or RB for that matter but he is a better RB. Madrid will need to buy a CB for sure especially cuz of Pepe being a tool and having such a long suspension for attacking a player.

Ramos is not a good CB at all. He's been tried there on several occasions, has not passed with flying colors by any means. But i beg to differ on him not being a good RB, he's one of the best in the world imo. Sure he had a poor season, but lets not forget the previous 3 seasons where he has always been one of the best in his position. Lets also not forget he's just 22.
