Ronnie's out for football?

[guynaisse]

According to the spanish newspaper ADN, Ronaldihno passed some medical exam last night concluding to: football is over for Ronnie!
That might explain why Milan AC stopped suddenly all transfer negotiation.
hoax?

That would mean he either failed or is becoming a doctor.

hoax?

Pretty sure that Milan suddenly stopped because Barca wanted too much money. Also I would be very surprised if Ronaldinho is going to quit football at his age to become a doctor. Mabe when he retires

What kind of injury did he sustain?

if you can read spanish....
he was declared out for 6 weeks, if true, it will befor longer .

He has got the same injury that has been keeping him out since a month or so ago. It was a medical to see whether he would be able to play in Barca's last game at the Camp Nou as a way of saying good bye to the fans but he won't be able too because of this injury. Milan pulled out coz Laporta wants £24 mill.

 

[Kyras]

It's quite interesting that Laporta wanted £24m, surely someone would take a punt on that in today's climate, Shevchenko was £30m, and Ronaldinho has got sooo much talent. There must be a couple of managers with the budget to take him to their clubs, and have the confidence to deal with the personal issues.

But he'll want 140k wages a week. That really is a punt. And while he'll make the money back on shirts, no one in the CL positions (or even just outside) can afford a passenger anymore. I still think he's better than that, but if he did turn out not to cut it on the pitch, it could screw the whole team up. It's a medium sized risk.

 

[chinaman]

If Ramos sees it beneficial to the team and is confident of coaxing him back to something like 80% of his former self; Levy can try some of his inventiveness in negotiations like a basic salary of 90k and lots of incentives. Then who knows it can't happen.

Whatever money is spent on Ronnie would come back in merchandise

 

[Bill_Oddie]

Quite right, Nick. But what if he's shit? Or at least not as good as Steve Mallbrank? Do we play him because he's Ronal-fuckin-dinho? Or because he'll shift a few (thousand) shirts? Or because we'd be paying him a fortune to sit on his arse? Or worse still would the sponsors of his additional wages demand that he played? Could we afford that luxury? Can anyone?

As I say, a medium-sized risk.

At his age he'd have to have two broken legs to be enough to make him call it a day through injury.
