Fabio Cannavaro believes Real Madrid's deep-routed problems will not be solved by splashing out £136million on Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka.[LNB]The Italian says he knew Ronaldo would arrive at the Bernabeu from Manchester United this summer and insists he has no regrets about leaving Madrid for a return to Juventus.[LNB]Kaka has already completed a £56m move from AC Milan and the spending is set to continue, but Cannavaro warned: 'The club is going to have to do more because these players will not solve the internal problems. The most important thing for the team is to achieve a group mentality. This year there was no culture of working together.'[LNB] Fabio Cannavaro talks to the media ahead of Italy's campaign in the Confederations Cup[LNB]Cannavaro confirmed reports that an agreement to sign Ronaldo had been in place for a long time.[LNB]Sportsmail believes it was discussed last summer when Ramon Calderon was president and then confirmed earlier this year.[LNB]New president Florentino Perez sanctioned the deal this week but the impending second era of the galacticos did not sway Cannavaro.[LNB]'I am not repentant.

'But those figures reflect the club culture of always being accustomed to being the best.'[LNB]And Cannavaro expects the shopping spree to continue. 'I think Madrid need five signings,' he said.
