Dortmund aren't going to sell and Hummels doesn't want to leave.
Edit: If it isn't from Kicker or Bild I give believe a word of it.

Kicker and Bild are not really reliable sources for Dortmund, usually ruhrnachrichten knows most about them.
But Watzke anyways said, that are not going to sell anyone this year after they already lost Lewandowski. Reus is most likely to leave next year due to his buy-out clause, so I wouldn't expect Hummels to leave before 2016. He got a long contract without buy-out clause and is loyal enough to not cause any problems to force a move.

He isn't good enough for even stoke
Monaco shelled out a ridiculous fee for him in fairness.
I wonder if Madrid ever considered using Ronaldo up front, he's got the tools to do it and they have unbelievable players around him now.

tbh i think bale would be better playing cf than ronaldo, he played in the 10 for tottenham a bunch very successfully, and I'd definitely believe he could be a good false 9. that said, i really dont think james is as good on the wing as he is playing in the 10, so not sure that moving bale in helps immensely.
The price tag is messed up for Mathieu but at least they signed a defender and an experience one at that.
Though I have to admit that I am surprised that they didn't go for Benatia.

Real Madrid has the money and is the last club to get problems with ffp
Adding to what Sapientia said, Real Madrid has sold players for high fees as well so the loss of money hasn't been that huge
And the big thing is theyre making it all back in shirt sales, in under a year for most of these signings. Real has such a major worldwide following that it would be almost impossible to spend so much they started to lose money, and thats the only time FFP kicks in.
It's been said before but RM and Barca getting their own TV deals is a joke. It's effectively a two team first league and the rest of La Liga is the second division. Imagine most of the PL TV revenue going to Utd and Liverpool, of course they'd try to buy everyone cos they can.
And something that took me by surprise: Vorm -> Spurs... Does this mean Lloris -> ???
Also Isco -> Liverpool rumours are picking up pace, mainly because City can't really have him cos of FFP.

No, Real Madrid doesn't make 100m with James, Cristiano or Bale shirts in a year. That's an urban myth and complete bollocks.
Apparently Suárez would play his first game in Barça against Real, on the 26th of October. Fun stuff, although it's hard to call that a coincidence.
Edit: Also this (if you can't see it fsr, go to realsociedad.com and search for Gerónimo Rulli news). So triangulations are still alive apparently... Rulli belongs to Estudiantes de La Plata and for some reason Real Sociedad negotiated with Maldonado of Uruguay? Nice and clean business to avoid paying taxes.
