34 million is nowhere near 80 million. Plus they have Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro, Busquets, Bojan and Valdes. While Madrid have Casillas?

If anything you've got to commend David Villa, he could have left Valencia for three seasons.
I've heard it's 42 million.

Technically speaking, both Granero and Raul Albiol are RM youth products playing for the 1st team while there used to be that amazing Dela Red guy, he was pretty good till that horrific heart attack shock in the middle of a game. He would have easily booked his place in the starting eleven if it wasn't for that.
De la Red is a good player, and he was quite impressive for Getafe, but don't kid yourself, he never looked like he was ever going to make it with Real, he was constantly overlooked and was mostly given cameos or appearances in cup games.

So what if he didn't break through the first team in his first season, the guy has the talent and is quite impressive as you've said yourself. He could have well been a starter under Pellegrini had he not suffered that injury IMO.

Don't think Ibra will be sold this summer. My guess would be that Barca will play something like that:


Messi--------------Villa-----------------Ibra


Ibra on the left is somewhat closer to his natural position than his position this season as a target striker.

Ibra would probably take Ronaldinho's old role in the team next season.

With Xabi Alonso, Granero, Lass Diarra, Guti, Gago, M. Diarra and sometimes even Marcelo all playing for three midfield spots, i strongly doubt De la Red would have got a chance with them.

What about Pedro? I don't think he'll be a bench warmer after this season.

So Barcelona are the team that focuses on charity and bringing up young players from their youth academy? That's why they are a respected club that everyone should admire?

To be frank, yes.

They are to be held as an example to other teams.

I wish Juventus were run on a similar basis as Barca: don't you?

But the close to 100 mil player has been instrumental for Real whereas Barca didn't even need Ibra for whom they paid much more than what he was worth.
