fredbob Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Id take him - considering we have one 30+ striker i dont see the problem in having one more who has 10 times the talent and is probably just as lazy - Ronaldo is one of the few strikers, along with Van horseface who has that inane ability to score goals anywhere, at any time and at any level. Not the direction we want to be going but an excellent stop gap acquisition for a year or so in my opinion. Might even pay for himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 He obv can't accept that his hero was crocked and actually was rather s**** and about as mobile as Shola during his time at Milan, the guy like most Brazilians (see Ronaldinho Adriano) made his money and was happy with it. He'll be lucky if Flamengo take him on. Are Ronaldinho and Adriano "most Brazilians" like? Sorry would you care for me to list the countless other money grabbing Brazilians that finished careers or fell off early due to their lack of motivation? Denilson is one, but there are countless others, I think we both know you are being facetious . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 alright, maybe not ten times. But when he was at Milan he had a goal record of better than 1 in 2. A lot better than Owen's. Last season at Milan before his injury he looked dangerous every time he got the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was indeed quality for Milan last season, but can you really see him returning to that form again and settle in the PL? Fair enough if you can, I wouldn't hold my breath though.

Has been saying he wants to play for Brazil again so if he does he is going to have to work hard to get back fit. I'd have him for us any day.

I'm not advocating signing him btw. But the blatant ignorance towards Ronaldo is shocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatwax Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 The people saying they wouldn't sign Ronaldo on a free transfer are probably the same ones that thought Deco was past it and not good enough for the premier league. As if he'd want to come here anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season at Milan before his injury he looked dangerous every time he got the ball I was entertaining the idea that we should try to sign him until I saw those photos of him very overweight and smoking cigarettes.

My point was going to be would you not have any of them because they smoke My point is that not only has he totally let himself go but he is smoking as well. Smoking isn't a professional thing for an athlete to do. It's not like eating a cream cake which can be run off. I don't know if Rooney smokes or not but I'd bet Ferguson would kick his arse if he caught him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He created them out of nothing as he has done all of his career. absolutely most of the goals he scored for Milan were very much a case of him getting the ball 20 yards out and making something happen with it tbh, and if you saw Milan last season or the season before they weren't exactly looking collectively creative. as for pace, why bother man, people see a guy with a bigger build than the average footballer and write him off as slow, similar thing with Bramble. They dont realise that the more muscle there, there more force it can exert over a short distance. Ronaldo was at his biggest in mid-2006, did it stop him raping defenders in La Liga for pace week after week? (goal against Barca at the Nou Camp case in point) did it f***. What is it with him? only Klose managed more goals in the 2006 WC yet people were calling him the letdown of the tournament, absolutely unbelievable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
