Football Sold

BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | M | Man Utd | Man Utd accept £80m Ronaldo bid

I kind of figured he might go, not that I agree with the stupid amounts of money RM seems to be paying but Man U certainly do well out of it.

 

[ramathorn]

Even as a united supporter i really got sick of his attitude. He is a great player for us but his head is lodged much too far up his ass. Its an awesome price, I am happy with it and hope fergy puts it to good use (and doesnt buy four more nani's)

Where do real get this money from though? insane

 

[Scouse]

Ribery to Man U for 45 million methinks?

Either way, it's a blow.

their billionaire chariman Florentino Perez who vowed to turn RM back to the galacticos era. So far so good.

 

[rynnor]

He was a complete no show at the Champions league final - if thats worth 80million whats Messi worth

in fairness i dont think it was his fault he was a no show, man u in general didnt show up. the same could be said for messi in the chelski game and last year against united etc etc

 

[leviathane]

don't think messi would ever leave Barca so doubt tht'll ever be an issue.

The whole team was a no-show, and he was probably the best player out of them.

I thought RM wanted him too. Crazy money going on there.

 

[dysfunction]

Finally he has gone and we don't have to see him diving in pain when a feather brushes past him anymore

I agree. They should replace him with a honest player like Inzaghi.

 

[Yaka]

they shoulda asked for 100 mill. still kinda thought hed be on his way as real are hawking ruud van nistleroy about and the two hate each other.

united have got tosic, wellbeck and macheda waiting. but i hope they get that nifty bloke from lyon benzema

 

[Wazzerphuk]

RM close to closing David Villa deal too.

When will they realise they still have a shit defence?

 

[Wij]

They don't care. It's all about getting the biggest names for commercial reasons.

[Everz]

only 20million more and they'd have bought newcastle. lols

 

[Wij]

hehe - i ribbed my toon supporting boss about that today

Another BBC link regarding Newcastle BBC NEWS | England | Tyne | Road signs mock club's relegation which made me laugh.

 

[Trem]

Thank fuck I've seen the last of his slimey fucking face. Good riddance, he was a cry baby who acted like a spoilt little kid who thinks he is far more important than he actually is. To prove his worth he has now fucked Paris Hilton (or so it seems).

Fuck off grease ball, and I imagine any of the English teams will be battering your new team in the next champions league comp.

By the way Platini said fuck all about the Kaka transfer, you know, because an English team wasn't involved in that. Hes moaning his tiny balls off now over this Ronaldo deal, saying its obscene and ruining the game, funny that. He couldn't give a shit until the English were involved. Hes a **** and Ronaldo is a ****

 

[Lollie]

same with sebb blater, he's justifying the move to Real, if it was the other way around it would be branded as obscene and destroying the game

 

[Ch3tan]

Actually Trem, to be fair to platini in this case, he said both moves were hurting the game, and creating an unbalanced and unfair playing field.

 

[Yaka]

platini is only saying that coz ten years down the road there may be a euro league ran by 15 to 20 of the richest/best teams in europe and uefa will be excluded and its money spinning champs league none exsistant

 

[Ch3tan]

Yeah of course there is that, he is bitter about football not played the way he wants. But he has some valid points, Brooking says the same things, money need to filter down football better.

 

[Marc]

Platini is only complaining because the money is going to an english team. If Real were paying say, Inter milan £80m he wouldnt give a shit.

 

[Ctuchik]

They don't care. It's all about getting the biggest names for commercial reasons.

*****

Ibrahimovic next then?

would be fun to see those 2 on the same team tho

it'd be a competition on who's the biggest arse methinks
