I shouldve stayed a soccer player.

Real couldnt afford Essien. A) he loves London B) he'd cost 120 million pounds

Holy balls I'm surprised, I thought the Ronaldo rumors had cooled down for a bit. Will United definitely go for Ribery?

This.



Madrid are better off making a play for De Rossi from Roma for their Midfield.

Dayum. United got a great deal.

It was inevitable; I'm just glad I won't have to hear about it anymore.

Love him or hate him, Ronaldo is a great great player and this is unquestionably a good move for madrid, I just wonder what kind of formation would they use I'm thinking a 4-1-2-1-2 at the moment. Manchester United are in trouble because they have no one to replace Ronaldo, I believe Rooney can score upwards of 30 goals if they use him in his right place as a Striker but I just don't think they'll do that.Man U will not get Ribery as he already has turned down an offer to play in England I think it's obvious he wants to go to Barca and Barca would love to have him as they would probably swap Hleb (who Bayern want) & around 50 million euros for him.

So the money is used to buy his contract? The money goes to the club and not Ronaldo right?

There have reports by a Munich newspaper that a Snejder, Van der Vaart OR Robben + $ deal is the way Ribery is leaving, if at all.

Though ManU could definitely use Ribery now. If they can get Ribery and another great offensive midfielder they might be better next year. They had too many strikers anyway. Berbatov needs to get more playing time.

Damn, there is just so much money in the sport its ridiculous. With the world being in such a bad place, I hope they could at least some of it to charity or something.

It's a f***ing disgrace.
Spanish soccer clubs have millions and millions of euros in debts yet nobody does a thing. Try that in a "normal" company and see what happens.

How much money does Ronaldo make per year for his contract?

It's yet to be negotiated.
