Following Wazza doing the Real Madrid and Barcelona game results (FML got it wrong). I decided I would have a little rant about Getafe being bought by the Arabs.
As of yesterday I thought the team in question to be bought by the Royal Emirates Group would be Valencia CF because they are 400millions Euros in debt. Sadly that is not the case, instead the money has gone to Getafe CF..
This will mean that Getafe will be the 3rd foreign owned club in La Liga with Malaga and Racing Santander being the other two. If I was able to ask these people one question.. It would be.. Why not fork out an extra 310million euros and try buy Valencia? because obviously money isn't a problem if you are a Royal Family and have that Oil money as well and continually build massive and elaborate structures back in your country. If they had the chance to buy them over Getafe, they would defiantly get their moneys worth and if, which I think the case will be they will be offering massive amounts of money for players to sign to the club.. Who in their right mind will want to go to Getafe? they don't have the name to command players, unless they start by offering big amounts to youth players or take youth players on loan who have been touted to have massive futures in La Liga or even to sign old timers for one last pay day..
Either way what ever they do I reckon this is going to be a HUGE flop, if they want to succeed they will have to build from the ground up and not expect success over night like when Chelsea got bought. Maybe they will have success in luring some penny merchants away from various leagues around Europe, I'll just name a few.. Gareth Barry, Mario Ballotelli maybe even Fernando Torres.. because they way hes been playing hes going to need a fresh start in Spain and since Getafe are the smallest club in Madrid maybe its a baby step for him to get back to Atletico Madrid, the club he loves so much..
Sucks to be the fans having their local team changed to Getafe Team Dubai.. Sort of lose your identity as a club with a name change no matter how small and trophy less the clubs been,buuuut maybe with a name change and a new set of players with a what will most likely be an endless flow of cash they will be able to try catch up to Barcelona or Real Madrid.. can't see it happening in this decade though..
But what do I know. Just a blogger.
By the way ups for the views yesterday got quite a bit! follllow us yoyo
