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.

So Kaka finally left...

Kaka exited stage left this morning for the all whites of Madrid...

Firstly let me say. that when I said yesterday that he can't be mentioned in the same breath as Zidane, I wasn't implying that he isn't a great player. I feel in time he will be, just not yet. ZZ did it from day one to the last day of his career, albeit that sending off at the World Cup. I've seen many great players not live upto their price tags and at £59m + bonuses, he's going to have to play hard and sell a large number of shirts. I think he'll do both and I wish him all the best at the Bernabeu.

Pato is now rumoured to be leaving the Rossineri to link up with Carlo at the Bridge. His 'father figure and role model' will no doubt have an influencing factor on him joining if Milan choose to sell. It does leave to the imagination how hard hit Milan have been by the financial downturn, selling 2 of their higher valued assets in what could be the space of a week! I wonder what this could now mean for either Anelka or Drogba if the brazilian makes his way to the Blues. There surely isn't room for 3 expectant starters, is there?

ETO'O will NOT leave Barcelona for the Eastlands! So will Man City please stop exciting their fans with players who clearly will not come. Eto'o just seems a bit too happy there to change dwellings. This is starting to remind of era, when a team called Newcastle were linked with everyone under the sun and the fans got all excited for nothing...and we all know where that story goes...

Have a nice day y'all...

Kaka to Madrid..?

This morning's breaking news is that Kaka is apparently having a medical at Real Madrid today. £56 million pound deal. I don't dispute that he is a great player with age seemingly on his side, but I'm not sure he's worth that amount of money.

Let's look at this comparitively. Would you mention Kaka in the same breath as Zinedine Zidane, Figo at his height? Both of these two were sold in the £40m bracket and were truly great and definately ZZ will be amongst the footballers who can be used to finished to debates of 'Was there ever a player who could make and change the game like....?'

I honestly do not think he is worth £56m, but a pat on the back to Madrid and Mr Perez for finally doing something to revive the Galaticos, who in recent seasons have really struggled to find consistency in their play and have been living in the glorious shadows of their Catalan rivals. 

It will definately be interesting to see who else they bring in, especially if yet another Red Devil no.7 heads to the spanish plains....
