Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Should Thrive With a Little Less Attention
Quiet, relaxed summers are always a good ingredient for an even better season.

Real Madrid – Gareth Bale, For the Alleged Prices, Is a Terrible Signing
Some things don’t make sense, and one of them is Gareth Bale becoming the most expensive soccer player in the history of the sport if whatever it is the media is reporting that Real Madrid are willing to pay for him.

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Will Have to Change Because of Gareth Bale
It’s unclear what Real Madrid have offered Tottenham for Gareth Bale; straight up cash or an exchange deal that includes Angel di Maria and Fabio Coentrao for the Welsh player, but the one player who’ll have to do most of the changing if he arrives at the Santiago Bernabeu is Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real Madrid – Karim Benzema Shouldn’t Be the Number One Striker
In the end, Gonzalo Higuain will be sold, and the deal will probably be done by the end of the weekend, this time for real.
