Quote:
£150million for Ronaldo

REAL MADRID want to sell Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester City for a staggering £150million.
The Spanish giants know City are the only club who could afford the world-record fee.

And despite denials coming from Eastlands about any move for former United superstar Ron, Spanish sources claim the Blues ARE talking to Real about a possible deal.

The fee will even make billionaires City wince but it would be an astonishing move were Ronaldo to return to the North West where he was such a hero at Old Trafford.

United fans would be furious if he were to do a Carlos Tevez and sign up with the enemy.



Apart from the whopping transfer fee, Ronaldo is looking for wages of £300,000 A WEEK and a five-year deal which would bring the total cost to a mind-boggling £228m.

The Portuguese superstar quit United because he believed Spanish football was where he belonged and went with boss Alex Ferguson's blessing because he was moving abroad.

But Ronaldo, 26, has fallen out with Real boss Jose Mourinho and the Spaniards' board are ready to listen to offers for their prize asset.

I would fucking love it. If Tevez goes he is in. I doubt very much he would come mind.

1) This won't happen.

2) I spent too long despising him and his awful cheating ways to just be happy if he signs.

3) If it does somehow happen, I reserve the right to change my mind and be fickle if he does sign.

Really really really cannot see this though.

I'm quite a fickle person but it would be a stretch for me.
It would be like Gordon Brown suddenly defecting and running the Tory party...

More likely talking about an Adebayor deal...

...maybe a possible swapsies with Higuain. Probably not though. :cool:

If Ronaldo were for sale for whatever reason, you would have thought Tevez would almost certainly have to be going the other way. I wouldn't be that opposed to the idea, as much as I'd rather we avoid the scorn that comes with paying quite so much for a player. I can't see why Madrid would want to sell after having spent so much money, time and effort getting him there though. An attacking unit consisting of Ronaldo, Sanchez and Balotelli would be a scary prospect for any opposition team, as all three can play anywhere across the front line and so the occasional switching of positions would make man-marking impossible. As it is though, it won't happen and I won't allow myself to believe that it even might.

That deal would cause us no end of grief. No way Jose.

I couldn't care less about getting grief from other supporters or the media.

We get that already.
