James Rodriguez -Just a financial investment or is he really needed?

Real Madrid have their newest Galactico in James Rodriguez signed from the super rich Monaco.He is the third most expensive player in the Real Madrid team and fourth in the world.This signing begets the question does Real Madrid really needed him or is it just a financial investment to get back even more money in the shirt sales and other commercial options.This is an option which Madrid of all clubs can afford to risk and have done many times.
There is no doubt how talented James Rodriguez is,which was very well shown in the world cup 2014 as he bagged the golden boot by scoring most goals even when his team went out in the quarter finals.This says a lot about his lethal goal scoring as well as his quality with the ball.He can play as an attacking midfielder or as a right winger even though it is not his best position.When playing as an attacking midfielder not only is he great at goalscoring but also at creating great chances for his teammates and when you have teammates like Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo most of the times its going to be a goal.He has great dribbling ability and great at finishing.His long shooting is really lethal as could be seen during the world cup
If he is played in his favourite position it leaves out Isco who was bought last season only.He was brought in which led to selling of Ozil which ironically could be his case this season.James is no doubt more dangerous than Isco but he is coming into a new team and that too with a 63m pound tag on his head.Can he handle this pressure?
Whatever maybe the case there is no doubt its a financial goldmine for Madrid as he is the latest superstar from world cup and his commercial value just from selling his shirt would make up for his huge transfer fee.Only time will tell if James Rodriguez came only to sell shirts or write his name in the history books along with other Galacticos
