Ronaldo

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

Hes not official been sold yet and is still official a United player but the deal is all but done. Ronaldo will be leaving United for Real Madrid for £80m. Its a huge amount of money – although I have read it may be paid in instalments. More crazy is the amount hes being paid. He will be on a 6 year contract with pay increasing 25% each year. Apparently he will earn something like £530k a WEEK!!! Crazy!!!

He was an amazing player and will miss his skill. Its now a question of who United buy to replace him. You really need 2 players to replace him with a winger and a striker. It looks like United will get Valencia from Wigan but hes of course no way compared to Ronaldo as a winger. Also, it looks more and more like Tevez will leave so we could need 2 strikers?? We be interesting to see what happens and if we actually do manage to buy anyone! Benzema is a good option but he apparently doesnt want to leave Lyon and even if he does would prefer Spain. David Villa would be great but seems unlikely. Argually 4 of the best players in the world, now play in Spain: Ronaldo, Kaka, Iniesta, Messi.

Anyway,…… I am sure Fergie knows what hes doing!!………

(I hope Barcelona win the Spanish league and cup next season!)

Here we go again ….. :(

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

I really wish Real Madrid would just leave it and keep their mouth shut. According to The Sun (I know!!!) Ronaldo has “agreed” to join Real Madrid in the summer. He will be paid £220,000 a week (a ridiculous amount of money).

However, it looks like no matter how much money they offer for Ronaldo, Fergie wont want to say him. He said just a few weeks ago that “I wouldn’t sell them a virus.” He also said “Do you really think I’d enter into a deal with that mob?

No matter what this will no doubt continue and really start up again in the summer when the transfer market opens.

Hes staying “for at least another year”

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

RonaldoWell its finally come straight from the horse’s mouth. According to Portuguese newspaper Publico, Ronaldo said he is staying. He said “”Sir Alex Ferguson heard my arguments, I heard his and, in fact, it was settled that the best for both parties would be for me to stay”. “I can confirm that, next season, I will play for Manchester United.”

That looks like the saga finally over until next summer when it will start over again. If everything in the paper is true there are some good quotes from him.

“Before rumours emerge saying that I will play against my will, I want to make this clear – whoever says or writes that is lying,”

“I will play for Manchester with all my heart and soul. I will fight and honour that shirt with the same commitment and dedication as always.”

“I was responsible for all this controversy”. “I was the one who publicly expressed my desire to go to Real Madrid. I ended up being, even involuntarily, responsible for the poor relationship between the two clubs.”

Who knows what may happen next season. Real Madrid could have a terrible season, United win the double (or treble) again. If reports are to be believed the Real Madrid players didnt exactly seem to keen on playing alongside him for various reasons. (Also Real have just signed the player Van Der Vart).

You can read Ronaldo’s full interview on the Manchester Evening News web site.
