Ronaldo to Real for £80 Milli?

I told you it's gonna be a busy footballing summer!

Manchester United have accepted an £80 million bid for Christiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid. Ronaldo has been playing kiss chase with Real for the last three summers and it now looks like he's going to get the move he has always secretly craved for.

It was only May when he said he wanted to stay at Man U, but I guess the Champions League loss to Barcelona was to be his last game in a Manchester United shirt!

By the looks of things Real Madrid are planning on regaining their dominance over the La Liga and world football by building the 'Galacticos' 1.0. With Kaka already acquired, Ronaldo on the way and rumours of David Villa from Valencia and Frank Ribbery from Bayern Munich also on their summer shopping list Real could most definitely be a force to be reckoned with next season!

I guess the recession doesn't exist in the footballing world.

Kaka Joins Real Madrid In World Record £56,000,000 Move

Brazilian football star Kaka has joined Real Madrid from AC Milan for a whopping £56 million Euro's on a six year contract.

Kaka will be paid more than £8 million a year, consolidating his position as the world's best-remunerated footballer.

Kaka, who will now be at the forefront of a new era of Galacticos, will inherit the No. 5 shirt once worn by Zinedine Zidane. Before this deal was done it was the Frenchman's transfer record from Juventus to Real of £47 million, from 2001, that has now been broken.


On his transfer Kaka said-

"Real Madrid intend to build a great team, with historic players such as Raul and Casillas. We will make history again, both in Spain and Europe. I guess the sport project is very good.

"Manchester City and Real Madrid are two different clubs with different situations. At that time (January), it was mid-season, I had a strong emotional impact due to the Italian fans requesting me to stay, and I decided to stay.

"Now another chance came up and AC Milan is in a big crisis (financially). For me, the sporting project (at Madrid) is interesting and will be an important boost to continue my career in the highest level."

I think it's amazing that in our current economic crisis deals like this can still be done!

The football transfer window opens officially on the 1st of July and I have the feeling it's going to be a very busy summer for many clubs with players going in and out to new pastures. Hopefully Arsenal can make some good additions to the current squad and get us back where we belong amoungst the fotballing worlds elite.


COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!!!!!
