The Great Ronaldo

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/19102009/ ... tatus.html Real Madrid midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo is set to become football's first billionaire, earning an incredible £16,000 a minute. The former Manchester United ace is to be offered a staggering £1.5 million a game to take part in a series of friendlies in the Middle East, according to a report in the Daily Star. That would see the current world footballer of the year take over from David Beckham as the planet's richest player and send him on his way to becoming the game's first billionaire. Real are considering a tour of the Middle East with oil barons are prepared to shell out megabucks to lure the Spanish club - and main attraction Ronaldo - to Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar. Real will be offered £3m per game for the tour during Spain's annual winter break, with that amount to be split 50-50 with Ronaldo to ensure the Portuguese is included in the trip. A source told the Daily Star: "Real Madrid are the team of the moment and Ronaldo is the player everyone wants to see. "He is the key to the deal. These wealthy businessmen are willing to break the bank to get him to play at their local stadium. Money really isn't an obstacle for these people. "Real can virtually name their price if they include Ronaldo in the squad." Ronaldo, bought by Real for £80m in the summer, already earns £12m a year at the Bernabeu, while pocketing a small fortune from a number of endorsement deals and his three clothing boutiques.

What a man and by the looks of things signing Ronaldo for €90 million looks like a great business deal. Where are the naysayers now

Ah, Jaysus, Mark, what fun is that? I can't believe how upset the Leafs fans get when I sue old jokes to show how bad they are. First game this season and one of them asked how the Leafs did. I told him not to bother and give up now as they are crap. Haven't I been proved right?

sent off last night

seemed to be pulling all the strings last night, shame pellegrini has him playing up front with Higuaín.
Should have been playing Higuaín and Creamy Benzema up front, with Ronaldo, Granero, Alonso, and Van der Vaart fron the start in midfield.

Emotions ran high after going 2-1 down against Almeria, and when ronaldo scored, took off his top, and got a yellow, second yellow was for a needless tacke.

What a fcukin free kick from 35 yards! 12 goals in 11 games!
