They've been skint for a while Debs but if they want a player then they will get that player. Look at the money they managed to raise for Suarez and even the likes of Turan and Ter Stegen etc. They were even meant to be skint when they paid 50odd mill or whatever it was for Neymar.
They had to sell Sanchez to get him though mate, who are they going to sell to get Phil?
They need to replace Masch, Alves, Iniesta and Xavi who have all left or retired, they have to spend on other areas of the pitch before looking at the attack.
There's also no guarantee that Messi and Neymar will survive the recent fraud charges, seems to me that Real have really had enough of their dominance and are going all out to destroy them once and for all.
The government can't bail them out this time either, they're in a very precarious and vulnerable position at the moment.
