I don't think Real Madrid was a good move by Mourinho. He will end up clashing with the board. If José don't get full control on transfers, then they're doomed. Since Pellegrini didn't get control I doubt Mourinho will. Besides it's already been rumored (confirmed?) that José wanted to sell Higuain but Valdano said no. Apparently, Valdano is making the calls...
Mourinho and Abramaovic wasn't best friends in the end either, and I doubt signings such as Shevchenko and Jarosik helped their relationship.

So, Di María moves to Real.
Thumbsup from this supporter.
Why would Real need Di Maria??!???
Weren't Kaka and CR9 enough?
And why not invest in youth? I personally like Granero, but I'm pissed at the fact he doesn't get the playing time he deserves
At least Barca play young players.

Kaka is a zombie.
IMO Real doesn't need Kaká or Christine.
I don't like the current state of my favorite team. Selling own youngsters and buying primadonnas.
But Di María shows promise IMO so I think this is a good thing.
Real Madrid and Barca =/= Spanish football.This is coming from a neutral on Spanish football...
Real shouldn't have bought Cronaldo with that much money...
CR9 => Most overrated player in the world
Thomas Müller can do what CR9 can do with greater effect with a salary 1/8th of CR9's

Di Maria is young, that argument of not investiment on young players doesnt track, has i recall, Real Madrid did invest in young players alot, i remember granero, Higuain for instance.
not to mention last season overall, he made 35 games, and scored 35 goals. In the season overall, not to mention he wasnt playing for almost half a season, due to injury..Well then the most over-rated player in the world happened to score 26 goals in 29 games in the world's best league last season.
in my Humble opinion, Jose Mourinho is the best thing that could happen to real madrid.
