Falcao has been trying to get to Real since he was at Porto but dude signed a 1080 degree deal with Cash Money Sports.So Falcao AND this nikka James Rodriguez wants to go to Real?

He actually made more wages wise than he would have without them, but basically, they owned him. And when I mean "they", I mean yes, plural. There were several firms who owned various percentages of Falcao. His teams (Porto and Atletico) were actually minority owners
When Porto wanted to bring him in, they called in a firm to back the deal and said firm (headed by C.Ron's agent) owned 55%-60% of him. And then when they wanted to move him to another team to bolster his profile, they pretty much just up and did it. Atletico only had to pay 18mil of his 40mil transfer to them.He's at Monaco because it seemed the investors finally wanted to cash out and just sent him to the highest bidder. Dude has had zero say in where his career went since 2009. I'm pretty sure he's FINALLY free though, so yeah, the Real move he's always wanted is a possibility.
Pretty sure Hamez is/was owned by the same people.

EPL did because of the Tevez debacle.

Nah, to Man U (who also never fully owned him). He was still owned by MSI. MSI wanted to move Tevez to Utd and basically did the deal with them. West Ham apparently didn't read the fine print and tried to hold up the whole deal unless they were getting a majority of the fee...and ended up settling out of court for 2mil
Then Sheffield raised a fuss about the legality of the whole third-party thing because they got relegated that year while Tevez (and Mascherano) helped keep West Ham up, and demanded that West Ham pay them 60mil. Ended up settling for 20mil.
Tevez wasn't free of MSI until he signed with City and they triggered a 25mil ownership clause in his contract

Dog, I thought United only had him on loan and decided not to do his buy-out clause or some shyt. WTF Football is shady af.

Yeah, the FA just said fukk this and threw the whole situation in the bushes. Look at how much EPL teams pay for players whereas La Liga sides sign better players for less money. Especially when it comes to South American players. Basically any one of any note is third party owned. Barca got investigated for the Neymar deal because they paid 40mil to a company Neymar's fam owned and never reported it. Not to mention Neymar was owned by Ronaldo's management company. Who knows how much Barca actually paid for him...and probably are STILL paying him. I highly doubt Neymar isn't the most expensive player ever.Dog, I thought United only had him on loan and decided not to do his buy-out clause or some shyt. WTF Football is shady af.
I think every team but Real and Barca backed out of the deal for a reason.
Roman thought he knew about questionable money and shady deals until he got hit with that South American soccer racket and had to pump his brakes
