4. Buy the best players from other Spanish teams:
It seems like Madrid are not interested in buying the best players from other teams in Spain but rather in plucking the best from Germany, Italy and England. Barcelona are good at buying the best players from other teams in Spain. They did it with Dani Alves, Alex Vidal, Arda Turan, Jeremy Mathieu, Seydou Keita, Jordi Alba and David Villa.
Madrid are better at signing their former youth team internationals who they loaned out previously like Jose Callejon, Carvajal, Arbeloa and Granero to name a few.
Spain has lots of quality players. Teams like Sevilla (Barcelona’s supermarket), Valencia, Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao have some of the best players around.
Bayern Munich do it in Germany and are dominating that sphere. Manchester United under Alex Ferguson did it many times and it worked wonders for them.
Plucking the best from the rest weakens the opposition.
