Other Sports Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid

**Buck** · 06-11-2009, 09:40 AM

This is the 2nd time this week that Real Madrid has gotten a superstar. First they got Kaka, now Ronaldo.

This immediately puts Real Madrid back at the top of La Liga, and also makes Man U a bit more vulnerable.

Man U is my favorite team, so this sucks, but I'm sure they just freed up a ton of money to bring someone else in.

How much did they pay for the rights to the flopper? The payment for the right of Kaka was insane.

It was something like $123 Million.

I think Kaka was around $92 Million.

Pretty sure Man U is looking at bringing in a striker from Bayern Munich....
On a second note, good riddance to Ronaldo, if it wasnt for him Livi' would taken the EPL title this year!!!!!!!

Ribery is more of a winger than a true forward, but he's good enough to do anything from midfield and on.

I also have to say, you can expect Ronaldo's production to go even higher since his style is pretty much catered for the way they play in Spain, you know, where they actually rely on technique.

Oh yea, do you think they will keep Tevez now?? i heard a rumor he might be coming to Anfield! that would be pretty sweet for the REDS!

**Buck** · 06-11-2009, 10:05 AM

I think Man U is also going to lose Tevez.

Not to mention they are getting pretty old in their midfield and defense. They might be screwed here for a couple years.

Very True, i really hope Liverpool gets Tevez. I think it will be the final piece they need. And will put them in a position to make a similar run Man U did the last couple of years.

You've got to think United will go hard after Franck Ribery now. How much would it cost to get Bayern to let him go, and would Ribery go?
