eheh.. 100/140 million euro’s..?

No. way. 50-60 million at most, and that’s being generous.

And van Nistelrooy. Who would you rather have, Ruud or Rooney?

Ronaldo will probably fetch around 100million transfer fee plus Robinho and/or Ramos, probably both. Nothing he did or didn’t do in the tournament will lower his value. If its a straight player transfer the word is 140million and then ManU would be free to destroy the transfer market or line the owner’s pockets for next year’s transfer crop. Probably a mixture of both. Sir Alex doesn’t want to lose Ronaldo and is even threatening retirement but I think he sees the writing on the wall and is just holding his poker face and bringing charges on Real Madrid for tampering. All this to drive the price up and up. Sir Alex is wicked smart about when to sell. He has proven that time and time again (Jaap Stam being his only black eye on his record)

Oh, and Hatem Ben Arfa is turning down Roma and Atletico for Marseille because he doesn’t want to leave France just yet.

Gregory Coupet is about to sign a three year contract with Atletico de Madrid for 3m euros (which is a total steal, but that’s his release clause).

No way Ronaldo is worth so much. Did you see towards the end of the game? He was hardly even running! He was the captain and he had already given up and begun pouting.

I wish I could get close enough to him to punch him in the face and tell him to play with some passion.
