Nick OGS20 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 yeah, there's definitely match fitness issues there, but when things aren't going for you (and often they won't when you're short on match fitness), you put the effort in and find your form - you don't amble around like a mardy-arsed tit and wait for it to be handed to you on a plate. excellent player when he's on his game, f**king nightmare when he's not.

Gazz22 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 As for the squad; I think Silvestre, Richardson and Smith are definitely candidates to be sold.

THIS IS FROM THE SUN Ronaldo: I'm off to Spain CRISTIANO RONALDO has told his Portugal team-mates he wants to quit Manchester United. And Valencia star Hugo Viana insists winger Ronaldo, 22, will soon get his wish of moving to Spanish giants Barcelona or Real Madrid. Viana said: “He won’t be at United for much longer. It’s complicated for them to keep him now. "Ronaldo has worked hard and, within a little time, he will be with another team more important than United.†Ronaldo discussed his future with ex-Newcastle midfielder Viana, 24, when they linked up for Portugal’s clash with Brazil last week. The duo are close pals after growing up together in Sporting Lisbon’s youth teams. Viana added: “Everyone knows if teams like Barca and Madrid want a player, they end up signing him.†Ronaldo admitted to Viana and Valencia team-mate Miguel he is eager to play in La Liga. Viana revealed: “We told him that his name has been linked to Spain. He’s very modest but, in every way, we know he’d like to come. “A team like Barcelona, Madrid or Valencia would be perfect for him. “He has grown very quickly as a player and he is now in the top three players in the world with Ronaldinho and Deco.†</div></BLOCKQUOTE> I love these Ronnie stories. Yesterday we had him telling his friends he had no intention of leaving United and now hes told the portugal squad hes off. And yes Viana it would be a fantastic move for Ronnie to leave Man Utd and join Valencia but yet again Madrid and Barcelona always get their man dont they? Lets look at the Barca side and how many players do they have that were bought from clubs on their standing or clubs close to their standing? Then Madrid, again they do have a history of buying big stars but look at the prices they paid for those top stars. Not to mention both former United players werent bought against the wishes of the manager, Fergie had fallen out with both and wanted them gone.
