Real Madrid 2013/14 squad is insane

Having been an Özil supporter for many years, it's hard for me to watch him get treated like that. If Coach Ancelotti likes Isco and Bale so much, that's good for him. He just shouldn't keep the hopes of Özil and di Maria up, tell them how it is. Of course we all know what those two are capable of, but don't get delusional. There's just no way Isco and Bale are gonna rot on the bench after spending a fortune on them. They sold  Higuain and Callejon, maybe it's time to let go of more offensive players they don't value anymore.

I also don't like how they bought Casemiro and Illarramendi, as they already have Kedhira, Modric and Alonso playing on the exact same position. It may only work out as long as Alonso stays injured. He'll be back eventually, and then what's Ancelotti going to do? That's not even the worst. They also added returning youngster Carvajal to their growing squad. He is known to be an outstanding right back, so Arbeloa might actually be used as a left back. Most world class teams struggle to find 1 decent left back, while Real Madrid has a bunch (Marcelo, Coentrao, Nacho). Utter waste of talent.

I even feel kinda sorry for goalkepper and skipper Casillas, whom I never particularly liked. A living (32years old) Real legend doesn't deserve to be degraded by his childhood club, it's kind of humiliating. It may be best to move on from Real if he wants to make it to the World Cup. It's unbelievable how people get treated in Madrid. Spending 100 Million Euros on one single player, that certainly shows how much they appreciate the squad they already have. They're not expanding their established team, they're building a new team from the ground.

There has been some similar controversy about Bayern, concerning Götze and Alcantara, although it wasn't as over the top as the Real Madrid issue. People were questioning if buying those two was really necessary. We won't find out anytime soon, since both are injured all the time. I feel bad for them, however, their injuries may as well have solved Bayern's first world problem.
