Cristiano Ronaldo going to Real Madrid for 80 million pounds!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/8094720.stm

Finally it comes to an end, i never thought he was a playmaker but he was always a vital player scoring the goals. I think Man Utd can recover with plent yof players on the market but it might not be immediate.

I just dont see the draw of Madrid TBH, i mean seriously, they are way worse and hardly been winning anything, and at the same time, their club is full of superstars.

im gutted as a man utd fan and a fan of the English premier league as he will be missed but 80 million is A LOT of money. Eventhough madrid IS a step down, i say good luck to him

"It was purely a football decision and had nothing to do with the financial structure of the club." -:lol: u expect me to beleave that from the new beckham

I wish I had that much money.

Didn't Kaka sign for Madrid as well?

How we spend the £80 million will be interesting.

kingdre

yeah, for £56 million

EDIT: Shows how much I know about sports. :P

Ronaldo left Portugal? D:

Well, I'm still rooting for Portugal at the next cup. :P

It will be interesting to see both Ronaldo and Kaka playing together. I predict that Ronaldo will complain that Kaka is hogs the ball too much with a tear in his eye.

i personally dont like Cristiano Ronaldo i think hes very big headed and if somthing doesnt go right god doesnt he let you know about it.

I saw it on ESPN this morning, its 131 million in US dollars. Thats so much money, I wish I had that much personally.

Wow, that sort of money is ridiculous... I don't see why they'd want somebody with his attitude anyway.super_mario_128

Real Madrid need one or two players like Kaka and Ronaldo cause they don't even use their best player and have pretty much nothing elseMcManus107

Now that is a lot of cash!

Man united don't really need him, I think Man united should buy Young/Walcott or another young talented RW/RM

Didn't Kaka sign for Madrid as well?

That is the most awesome name I've ever seen. :o

Turn your sarcasm detector back on ;)

my understanding is a lot of that money goes to the club, not the player... how much will ronaldo actually get out of this?comp_atkins

i was watching a sports channel (sky sports news) and they were saying that the £80 million goes to Manchester United just to get the players regristration and Madrid will pay Ronaldo £10 million a year on 6 year deal so if thats correct, the deal would be worth £140 million! and that still isnt including agents fees or any other 3rd party things.

though Real Madrid will easily get the money back from both the Kaka and Ronaldo deals just from the revenue they will bring to the club so really they could really think of them as free transfers in a way

I'm glad. Maybe this year they will be able to challenge us in the league and make the derby games a little more interesting though I doubt it. They still some defenders and their team chemistry will never be on the level of the great FC Barcelona. This will allow Messi to show CR up in even more matches next season. I can't wait.

I know Ray Hudson can't wait.:lol:

The agents fees and any other 3rd party fees will come from the 80 million.

oh dear oh dear this is very bad news for football in general as well as man united. money has completely taken over. long live the teams like everton who go to the top with empty pockets. the irony is that i am a chelsea fan.

mark my words though, real madrid will not win anything because of this. my guess is a cracking debut followed by lots of hype of a new era, and then he will be sucked into the superstar munching machine that is real madrid, and disappear.

its embarassing to be a football fan with this sort of nonsense going on. real madrid should be ashamed of themselves, they're not a club, theyre a corporation. and who the heck is funding them?

and people, stop hating on ronaldo so much, he has matured a lot since coming to united, mentally and on the field.

Nobody is getting your jokes, i dont know why. :PNinja-Hippo
