This, it feels like lazy journalism to me.
You've a rather misty-eyed view of Madrid mate. These days they're a shadow of the team that terrorised Europe several years ago. Ageing squad and broke through spending ridiculous amounts on players that are soon ageing. Now relying more on their academy - with some very good young'uns coming through - but Richie would still be one of the higher potential players in their current squad.

like the Spanish league (or the Spanish banks) would ever be strict on Real Madrid...
Real Madrid reveal extent of financial distress, gross debt escalates to €901 MILLION
Real Madrid have recorded a massive debt estimated at €901 million, becoming the latest club to be hit by the financial crisis amid coronavirus outbreak.www.republicworld.com
would they be able to afford Richarlison though ? I know the Spanish league is very strict on this. Remember Barcelona couldnt spend like 5/10m on Deepay last summer/winter window becasue they had to sell for twice that amount first.
Maybe for all parties best he stays 1 more year and then Carlo is gone there anyway
Why are people in conversation with the benitez fanboy. A top class trumpet him

Why haven’t we signed anyone yet ffs? What are they waiting for? I’m checking everyday like loads of times. It’s doing me head in.

Be surprised if we get passed transfer window with Richy Dom, Jordan Digne and James all still wearing Everton shirts!

indeed - La Liga and the banks will bail both then and Barca out of the mess they've gotten themselves into.
It's absolutely insane that, if the rules are upheld, Barca cannot register aguero and Messi due to the salaries they are paying.
Therefore, the rules will be changed to suit - as corrupt and uefa, FIFA and the premier League.
Oh, and Brands needs to get off his sunbed and do his job!
I'm surprised you're falling for the old 'net spend' call here. A bit simplistic to say simply that £55m per year is mid-table ambition. We have for several seasons been tied into far too many average players on weighty contracts signed by our past idiot management. The wage bill we have had to cover on players we will not use has been immense, and for that reason they have also been unsellable, so we have to wait patiently for their ridiculously long contracts to expire. Do you really not see why this has prevented a greater 'net spend'?
I'm talking way before Siggy, Gomez, Iwobi et al...
If we all ignore him maybe he’ll go away

i know they will find a trick, but it it no surprise both Barca and Real have only signed free agents as far as i know.
So even though Carlo wants him Real's board may say no. Give us Hazard in return

One way or other, the super league legacy lives on, greed will instruct it to carry on.
He will have no choice!

Well a few things:
1) I'm not saying that they aren't prepared to back him (like some are). I'm saying that we have been so mismanaged that the only way to generate funds without selling the few good players the squad contains, is to do it anyway and risk whatever penalties are handed down. Some clubs would take the risk; I just don't believe we will. I don't doubt Moshiri's (and Usmanov's, if true) wish to put money in. We just find ourselves in this situation due to previous mismanagement.
2) They have made their bed with the unpopular Benitez appointment - so there will be a year 2 and probably a year 3. Unless we are at genuine risk of relegation, they won't sack him after making such a decision. Benitez goes in one of three scenarios: (a) we are about to go down (b) he leaves for a better job (c) he completes his 3 year contract. If we happen to languish in mid-table for a few years, it won't move them to sack him.
3) Benitez has coverted this job for a while, so probably would take it in any circumstances. I genuinely believe the board will have told him he will be backed in future seasons if we can get our finances back in line. But he has been hired to 'get the most' out of our current squad, with just a handful of additions.
