I'm writing this to apologize if I'm going to do everything for this assignment in one day. I was just busy with VFX101 walk cycle animation for the last few days.

Anyway what I wanted to talk about is Soccer and money. It seems that it's all about money these days. The more money a club spends on players the more audience they'll get. Real Madrid for example spent $300 million USD buying players such as Christiano, Kaka and Khedira. This spending has become a tradition for them. But they also make big profits out of this. The more they spend the more earnings they get not only financially but also fans.

I'm a Barca supporter and I love their system of building young talents in their academy. Players who have come out of this academy and done extremely well are Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and even Fabregas. But not even Barca is safe from spending big on players. For example I've noticed that they buy one or two expensive players at the end of every season, which they don't really need. I believe it's because they want to keep the fans happy and excited about new players.

My suggestion is to put more work on youth systems, building talents in their own club. This way the player becomes loyal and doesn't want to move from club to club.
