Finally CRy leaves Old Trafford for the greener pastures of the Santiago Bernabeu and becomes the second target of President Perez. After pocketing Kaka for a cool 56million gbp he has secured the services of Ronaldo too; all this to bring the era of the Galacticos back as he promised on his re-election to the top seat of Madrid football.
Personally I am more happy than even CRy to see him go. First because he caused a lot of heartburn to Arsenal and according to me in more ways than one was responsible for the kind of season Manchester United enjoyed this time around. Second, though I like his footballing skills I could never come around to respect him for the arrogance he portrayed. Not to mention how he regaled audience and referees alike with his diving attics. So all and all I am happy that he is not in the EPL anymore. Though I wish Arsene's men get some through him in the Europa league next season :P
But on the money front Manchester United got a more than a decent deal. Remember Man Utd signed this kid from Sporting Lisbon for a mere 12 million gbp and today if i am not wrong after only 2 seasons they are getting returned 80 million gbp. Great return on investment especially in these times of recession.
The United faithful will feel dismayed because they lost a real talent but then I think they knew that Ronaldo's heart never bled the United RED. Another interesting thing to see is that what number jersey will Perez give his new starry-eyed boy. Will he get no.7 to carry on with CR7 which now many will acknowledge is a brand in itself? But giving no 7 to Ronaldo will not be easy for no.7 belongs to the second (i think the first) most powerful man in Real Madrid and that is the King of Spainish football Raul!!!!! I am waiting for Ronaldo to work up some histrionics there too. I am sure that he will never cease to impress us both on the field and off it too.
