Why do Brazil want Ronnie to leave Inter ?

What a load of toss Shao. Brazilians don't give a damn where Ronaldo plays as long as he is fit and can play for the National Team. In fact, they are more worried about the fact that Inter fans don't like him now and that might affect his morale.
Beckham? Brazilians had never heard about Beckham until the WC quarter final. When the England games were on he was referred to as Beckman, that's how famous he is over here. The main newspaper actually had to introduce the England players in the run up to the game and the Brazilians laughed about the fact that your star player hadn't scored more than 10 int'l goals (7 or 8?).
I agree with you over Ronaldo blindly following his advisors. After all, they took him there! But Brazil plays no part in this conspiracy of yours.

Brazil play a part - he owes them his allegience and evrything he does, Brazil is first in his mind. But I *did* say that they had less to say/do with this than Nike or his agents and that its the money men who were instigating any move. That example was just an example of how Brazil hold a stake in Ronaldo and what he does, where he goes etc etc.
I reckon some Brazillians do care about where he plays though (i.e. the Brazil FA?) . He is after all a Brazil player first and foremost and if they feel he and his career would be better off someplace else.....they would want him to move on. Not that they'd do all this media shit, but they might say to him to get out of Inter to get whats best for him and forget about loyalty to Inter - cos his loyalty is to Brazil. See what I'm trying to say?
If he were to hear people saying that he would start to think about a move no matter how much he liked it in Inter.
Just my thoughts

so if you're still thinking we might have a chance of signing ronaldo, take it he's no more a big-name player anymore then?
you're the jackass who started this thread right?! ......
anyways, you still haven't answered if he'll be able to last the Premiership pace....seriously doubt it.....and he didn't exatly set the WC ablaze did he.....none of his goals were class, all bloody easy tap-ins.......
