Real have their Ronaldo we are said to be getting our very Dwight Disco Yorke with a geri-curled perm RONALDINHO in a £25m move in January according to reports in Le Monde. Le Monde being a broadsheet french newspaper and indeed one of the most respected newspapers in the world, i.e. Daily Telegraph, Herald Tribune etc...
In saying that though none of the websites or sky sports news are carrying the story, so its very debatable (i.e. its legitmacy)
My french pal sent me an email, saying that apparently we were going to make a £25m shortly, meeting PSG asking price and have the deal tied up in the next two/three weeks, therefore come the lifting of the transfer window the player would instantly move to OT, which could allow for more settling in time and avoiding rushed and hastened discussions.
They even go on to say that SAF wanted him during the summer (confirmed in the english press) but given his no. 1 priority a CB and indeed the eventual outlay on Rio, was told by the board to sell before Ronaldinho could be bought, indeed the board thought the move for him would be funded by the sale of Veron, to either Barcelona, Juventus etc. But given the flat mkt. none of those expected bids arrived, leaving a huge hole in funds to sign the player. But that now SAF has gone back to the board and pleaded them to release the funds to sign the player, siting a defiency in attack to be able to really challenge on all fronts & competitions.
Furthermore this they say serves for the reason why SAF to date has not signed a fourth striker to date, rejecteing the chance to bring a host of talent, inc. Crespo, Morientes, Ronaldo, Luque, Tristan, Rivaldo, P.D.C. etc as he "only has eyes for Ronaldinho" (direct translation - those bleeding french)
Would apart from Totti be the perfect player in the world today for that link striker position, can provide that spark that the attack can need, will set up a shit load of goals for Ruud and is brazilian, who in general are sheer class!!!
