Robben was sold for Ronaldo - Madrid was right there!
Sneijder was sold for Kaka - the fact that the Brazilian couldn't replicate his form and got injured most of the time cannot be placed on their board, it made sense as a Business.
Well, they would have forced a move out anyway after Madrid decided to get Ronaldo and Kaka. Their interviews of not wanting to leave is just BS, had they remained at the Bernabau, they would not have become the players they are. What would you rather chose? Play second fiddle to a Galactico or go to a team (who btw, were among the top-5 clubs) where you are a definite starter and can win titles?!
Di Maria was sold for Rodriguez - While neither of them set the world alight, again the club haven't done anything wrong.
It is 'business as usual' for the club to chase Galacticos and they needed some cash inflow to compensate the big spends. In Higuain's case, both him and Benzema wanted to be the #9 but the latter had more trust from his team mates and the coach. Cant fault them there as well.
