Manchester United, Robinho And Baptista

Hi everyone,

Ronaldo wont go get away that easy says Real Madrid president

I was glad yesterday that the Ronaldo saga is over but it seems it will not leave us that easy. Real Madrid are just not going to back off this easy because I think, Real Madrid president Calderon has made some commitments to some sponsors (Nike and probably Adidas, as Real Madrid wear Adidas shirts) by giving them his word that Ronaldo will be a Real Madrid player and now when Ronaldo has said that he will not leave Manchester United , Ramon Calderon wants him to pay for it (in a bad sense).

According to News Real Madrid are demanding £17million from Ronaldo after he recently announced that he would not be moving to Real Madrid this summer.

Ronaldo seemed a certainty to leave Manchester United after ignoring Sir Alex Ferguson’s messages while at EURO 2008 and reiterating his life-long desire to ply his trade at Real Madrid.

But Alex Ferguson repeatedly insisted that his prize attacker will be going nowhere, and that indeed seems to be the case after the two met for crunch talks earlier in the week.

However, the matter is not done and dusted just yet, as Real MadridMadrid are now claiming that the 23-year-old agreed terms with them and had a clause inserted in his contract that entitled Real Madridto a hefty sum of compensation.

It has been said that Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon will only fore go the fee if an agreement is struck that will see Ronaldo head to Real Madrid next summer.

I do not think that Real Madrid can get something positive from all this Transfer saga, I say sue Manchester United and sue Ronaldo. If you cannot make them join you, kill them, that’s my very own quote, copyright stuff, so no one can use that without my permission (like it does matter anyway).

In other news, Baptista transfer situation is also dragging on , they (reporters) say that Baptista is ready to join Roma as Real Madrid and Roma have come to an agreement for the Brazillian, it is in the region between 14 to 18 million euros.

And lets not neglect Robinho, as he thinks he is the best player in the world ( I would say, he is one of the best in the world), anyway, his agent has again come out and said things like “madrid do not value him” and all that crap. Real Madrid president has come out and said that there is no chance of Robinho leaving.

Robinho is asking Real Madrid to pay him the same salary that Chelsea is offering him (Chelsea is offering him €6 million and Real Madrid have offered him €4 million annually) though I think what Real Madrid is paying Robinho is what Robinho deserves.

He is not a £100,000 a week player yet. Chelsea will be disappointed when they pay such a sum to him and to Real Madrid as I think Robinho’s game is not suited to EPL, though If C.Ronaldo can adapt then so can Robinho as Robinho has more talent than C.Ronaldo, C.Ronaldo is just more hard working and determined.

Schuster sees Robinho as a part of his first team plans but that seems to be not enough for Robinho as he wants to earn what Casillas or Raul earn at Real Madrid which will not happen any time soon. Robinho’s main cause of getting upset with Real Madrid was that Real Madrid wanted to exchange Robinho plus some cash (50 million I think) for C.Ronaldo and Robinho took as an insult to his abilities.

Who can blame Robinho? Well I can. Robinho has not been performing anywhere near to what was expected of him consistently. He does not look determined enough to be the best player in the world. He has to realize that he has to put some work in , to be the best. The days of touch football is gone, now a player must be willing to handle tackles and go past players with pure speed and strength rather than just skill (which Robinho is so famous for), obviously the latter is way harder to do.

I am going to end with that and hope Robinho, Ronaldo, Baptista and not to mention Saviola’s future gets sorted out, so we can all enjoy some peace. The League going to start soon and I want Real Madrid team to be like a family, happy and content.

On a positve note, Van Der Vaart!! (we are finally talking about something else than Ronaldo and Robinho) has said that it is a dream come true playing for Real Madrid and it is even a bigger honour scoring for Real Madrid on Debut, that is it.

Enjoy some photos of the match Real Madrid won 2-1.
