Wayne Rooney....

I mentioned in the last post that in my opinion Ronaldo wasn't Manchester United's best player. I sincerely do think that Wayne Rooney deserves this recognition. 

He's genuinely has the heart of a lion (or three). You get the feeling that he is the kind of player that doesn't care what position he plays in, as long as he is playing. We've seen it countless times for England and he has been a scolding hot red devil. We've seen him play across the front three and increasing in a left wing position. I think my argument is reinforced by the fact that he has played phenomenally wherever he has been placed.

He has excellent touch, an awesome workrate and a footballing mind which is simply great. His array of finishes is also something to be admired. Headers, left foot or right foot, he can apply either power or the required finesse. Let's not forget the agility that he also carries.

I think on his day, he can be one of the best players in the world and he certainly is a playing role-model for young players. You'll have to mind his foul mouth and temperament, although some would argue that is what makes him so loved by his fans.

So the Portu-girl star is leaving....

Real Madrid have twice proven that they have more money than sense in the space of a week.

£80million for Cristiano Ronaldo?? I thought £59m for Kaka was excessive earlier this week! According to manutd.com, it was CR7's desire to leave that made the Red Devils accept this latest bid. Good business on their part I think. In opinion he wasn't even MU's best player this season. Let alone the world's.

I don't think that the Premiership in all honesty aren't losing much. We're losing some flair and a few goals from next season's highlight reel. We are also losing a primma donna, sulking and lazy one season wonder. Admittedly he deserved the World Player accolade that he took home last year,  but since the Moscow final he hasn't reproduced consistently this season. There have been a number of occasions where his lacklustre behaviour have cost Utd goals this season, and he has almost forced Sir Alex to play him as the central striker due to his inability to track back. I'm sure Patrice Evra breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news that Rooney was ahead of him rather than Ronaldo.

So there was THAT strike in Porto, a few free-kicks and a couple of penalties. There were also those dives, those whinges and those tantrums. I think the Premier League has already seen the best Ronaldo has to offer. It won't be coming back after it went missing last season. £80m is great money for what he can longer give the fans. This will probably open the door for Ribery to make his way to Man U in my opinion. 

Good luck to the Portu-girl, and Good Ridance.
