Florentino always signs a galactico in election years, and with it being an election year at Real Madrid, he made the promise to sign a galactico in the summer.

If you recall, Luis Figo was signed in 2000. Michael Owen in 2004, Christiano Ronaldo and Kaka in 2009, and Gareth Bale in 2013.

Who will it be in 2017, and will it be more than one?

When it comes to Florentino, and when he makes a promise - there really isn't anyone out there that is out of reach. He has proven this again, and again.

Vote for who you would like to see in the royal white shirt.

I like Perez with all his faults I like him.

I would like to see Alaba from Bayern to play on the left as Marcelo is aging and also can't play a full season.
Also he can play in many other positions as CB RB CDM CM even CAM would be a really great signing for us at the back.

We have nacho which is becoming really good with Varane with alaba we have a versatile defender which could cover for caraval when needed. That would allow us to sell Danilo coentrao and keep Pepe who should retire in Madrid and NOT be sold unless he wants to he is a club legend.

In the midfield we have many options but what I believe most people don't know the value of kross he is the best midfielder in the world for a reason. We have modric aging but have a good cover in Isco and kovacic. James isn't doing any good I would sell him and bring in no one we have asensio Isco kovacic and have a cdm who is on loan which have better stats than kante we should bring him back from loan.

Now in the attack I would be careful and not bring anyone there we need players are very close their prime or in it.
There is a lot of options and I don't like any of it I will have to get rid of msn which I don't want ATM but we need to do something about bale he is one of the best but made of glass.

dybala has only played right wing max 3 times for juve. here's one example where he had a bad game:
http://footyroom.com/matches/79925999/juventus-vs-inter/review

second and most notably his most sh"t game ever. honestly he didn't do anything. it might be because the ball never reached him and they didn't play him in, but still he was just awful. he's a better centrally where he can create play or pass someone in or shoot from far. he's tactical. (btw this line up is backwards, he played on the right)
http://footyroom.com/matches/79913119/-/review

in his defense these were around a year ago, so he might've improved, but he's never played on the wing since. hazard imo is a more impressive player and more decisive. also take into consideration that the italian league is not the best place to show off skills. especially since it is very defense and the juve team itself is defensive. imo if he was playing in la liga he'd be monstrous infront of goal.

yea that's what i said in another comment. that they had to change formation 15 minutes into the game because he was not performing

yea that's what i said in another comment. that they had to change formation 15 minutes into the game because he was not performing. they had to revert back to 4 2 3 1

@Madridista11: When I say we're the pinnacle of World Football, I mean that now. Right now, this season, this year. I don't mean that 8 years, or 6 years ago. I mean right now. Barcelona could not beat us in their own stadium, we beat Atletico by 3-0 at the Vicente Calderon. We are the reigning World Champs, European Champs, and Super Cup holders. Further, we are on top of La Liga with a game in hand. So tell me, how are we not at the pinnacle?

Why is this happening? Because of smart transfer dealings, investing in the future - something that Barcelona has not been doing. They are on the down slope while we're heading up. There has been a change, a shift happening between powers in World Football. It was slow, but was happening. All of this was made possible because of Perez.

You're telling me you miss the time we were not the underdogs against teams such as Barcelona and Bayern? How can you see us as underdogs against such clubs? Like I said, Barcelona could not beat us in their own stadium while the last time we played against Bayern, we won 5-0 on aggregate. Tell me please, why do you feel this way? Is it perhaps because you have some inferiority complex, something that has nothing to do with the reality of Real Madrid?

If you look at the betting sites, you'll notice that Bayern is considered the favorite. The only reason this is though is because no team has ever won Champions League titles back to back, in its current format. No other reason whatsoever. They're not a better team than us, and that is clear when you look at achievements of both clubs in the past 5 years.

How can you possibly say that what happened with Barcelona's rise was not a freak of nature? How many times in the past has a team produced, at the same time, 5 of the best players in a generation in their positions? The only time it happened before, as far as I recall, to Ajax when they won back to back European Cups. That simply does not happen. What is going on now with La Mesia? When was the last time they produced a world-class talent, before or after the class of Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta? Tell me. I'm all ears. If it's not repeated, simply going by evidence, what happened there was a statistical outlier. It will not happen again.

Of course we dominated them before because they were just a regular football club, like every other team out there. If they were lucky, they would produce one or two starters from their academy with the rest of the players being acquired from other, feeder clubs.

Of course they're envious of us, because they know things are going back to the way they always used to be. Before the class of Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta. Their biggest achievement was being a rival to Real Madrid, and they will go back to that position before too long. You can tell this by comments being made by Barca players, and the staff. By the comments made by their fans.

However, going back to your comment that you are tired of us being underdogs to such clubs, a statement I do not agree with - do tell me was it better?

Are you talking about the FIRST Florentino Perez era? When he brought us Zidane, Ronaldo R9, and Figo?

If not, when? During the time he wasn't the president, and we were getting humiliated in Europe? When we couldn't go pass Lyon, who for two years in a row eliminated us in the round of 16? Or is it when we were humiliated 4-0 at Anfield? Please tell me. I am curious to know.

You are clearly delusional. You are thinking about the fantasy era, perhaps in the 50s, and 60s? Or is it during Quinta Del Buitre, when something similar that happened to Barcelona happened to us, and we had 5 great home-grown players that included Emilio Butrageno. Although, we still did not win an European Cup during that time.

Do tell me, what the hell are you talking about? When did we have a 'fear factor' in the modern era that WASN'T the product of Florentino Perez's signings?

Like I said, you should be grateful for Perez as are the majority of Real Madrid fans. He has come leaps and bounds, and is finally doing the job the right way.
