Talk:Galácticos

message: With Perez gone, the galactico era is essentially over at Real.. while the club will obviously go on signing big names, I don't think the term galactico is being used for them any more. --Peripatetic 11:25, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Galactico era over

message: While Owen, Robinho, and Julio Baptista were major signings, I wouldn't consider them Galacticos - at least not on the same level as Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo, and Beckham. These four are big names, while Robinho and Baptista have yet to make as much of an impact on football as those four. Owen... he's a big name in England I guess, but I still don't think he's on the same level as the first four.

thread_title: Galacticos?

message: How can Raul be a galactico when the characteristics include being signed by Perez? Raul was there before Perez, and they signed him as a youth player, therefore he is a Real Madrid product.
Either fix your definition of Galactico, or use a better example.

thread_title: Uhhhhhh

message: Firstly, he was signed for a meager €4 million, but that is beside the point. Arbeloa is an original youth team player of Real Madrid Castilla, and that defies the meaning of the Galactica. And he is no way considered to be a Galactico in or by anyone in Spain. Bulkroosh (talk) 13:52, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alvaro Arbeloa Not a Galactico 

message: Thomas Gravesen wasn't a Galactico, neither was Jonothan Woodgate, both of whom were signed by Perez. In fact, Raul Albiol shouldn't be a Galactico too, but I will search more about that. Bulkroosh (talk) 13:53, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not All Signigns By Perez Are Galacticos 

message: Find the lack of sources for this article a problem, i also feel its a bit written like a promotion or non-neutral. However i can agree that there should be a Galactico article or some form of it.  --> Halmstad, Charla to moi 22:40, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

message: He doesn't fit the profile of a Galactico. Low price, youngster with low marketing capabilities, one for the future, yes, but not a Galactico. Much similar to Robinho. Bulkroosh (talk) 23:05, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mesut Ozil Not a Galactico

message: There is no such thing as the second Galactico era. The first Galactico policy under Florentino failed miserably and even the pro-Madrid sports newspapers such as AS and Marca have distanced themselves from it and do not refer to the current crop of players as Galacticos.
The term Galacticos solely refers to Ronaldo, Figo, Zidane and Beckham.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.77.19.108 (talk) 00:06, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Second era?

message: Let me expound on why I tagged the article with the  tag. It reads like a personal essay at times and the facts given in certains section of the article are disputable. For example, who actually are the galácticos. It seems almost every new signing in recent years is listed. References need to be added. For everyone's action I sincerely hope, ANGCHENRUI WP:MSE♨ 14:57, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Factual accuracy of article 

message: Alonso, Khedira, Di Maria, Ozil, Benzema - all excellent players, yes... but galacticos?! Who was writign this article? :)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.150.188.212 (talk) 20:55, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Galacticos? 

message: I noticed the sentence that the concept is being applied to other sports, (e.g. article talked about the Toulon Rugby Union side and quoted a reference in 2012) so wanted to start a debate. Of course the concept has its origin in the real Madrid Soccer team, but it is now having a wider application.
For example in Rugby Union, well before the Toulon example cited, the Ospreys were being described as pursuing a "Galactico" strategy in 2007, "http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/guscott-blast-ospreys-galacticos-2211571"
Must be other examples in other sports too.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.254.180.55 (talk) 21:37, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

message: Why are Madrid's purchases at the start of the article denoted in British £ before reverting to €, when the transactions were conducted with the latter? ~~  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.111.38.129 (talk) 02:13, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

message: Why use that unflattering pic of overweight retired Ronaldo at a charity match? Especially considering he played for Real, where the term Galácticos was coined. Surely it would be relevant to have him in a Real shirt when he was in his prime. MarshallMolasses (talk) 16:02, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
