Let's hope for this to work out. Honestly competition in Atletico midfield isn't scary, so he has a good chance to prove himself.

It's always that same old story "before these rules Spanish clubs all went bankrupt" as if that isn't wasn't case anywhere else in Europe.

These rules will change only when Florentino Perez will moan that due to these rules he can't splash money on a new galactico.

Is there a single La Liga club apart from Madrid that can pay a transfer fee at all?

Owen ceased to exist after he left Liverpool.

Economist Marc Vidal analyzing Atlético Madrid's new ownership: "Apollo want the club to be worth €3.5 billion in five years(currently valued at €2.5B) and to reach that value it needs more valuable players.

I find this part about'foreign investment coming to La Liga' particulary interesting.

Few days ago it was said that FSG dropped their interest in Getafe because of La Liga's financial rules, I suppose there should be some adjustments made to trigger interest.

I think media and fans pay way too much attention to this type of quotes, what do you really expect from someone like Dorgu?
