varanio;678419; said:i never said I hate Ronaldo I actually think hes a wonderful player when hes not eating grass from diving so much. I dont think he carries Man U....i think they have to thank paul scholes for that, hes their garbage man...he may not be electrifying, but hes the soul of the team point blank. I think youre really missing the point about what I am trying to say. Its no personal attack on C Ronnie. I think he needs to mature more and only time will tell if in fact he will be as great as Luis Figo Ronaldhino Platini Zidane Van Basten etc....just to name some of the great midfielders ever to play. I hope he does make because I agree he could be the next big thing. HIS GAME NEEDS TO MATURE is all im saying and I dont think you have been able to grasp that.
To make one thing clear I said ALLEGED talks about the trade for Xavi and C Ronnie ... I never said it was etched in stone. Well have this conversation again when C Ronnie is about 25 -26 and we will hopefully agree that his game has changed and that he is more team oriented and less individualistic.
By the way I think Maniche carried the portugese team on his back in the world club.....hes the paul scholes of the Portugese national team...if it wasnt for his play and the way he held the midfield ..not to mention his goals...portugal would not have gotten as far as they did. I think he deserves the credit.
I hope you understand this is all in good chat... so dont get offended and dont take this personal at all. But dont take certain points of my post and use them against me as all this is futbol chat...
Take Care bud
Aye, I understand what you mean about Ronaldo. I absolutely agree that he needs to mature, but he's not as big a diver as people make him out to be.
True, Maniche did carry Portugal in the World Cup but Ronaldo has a different effect on the team.
I also hear that Real Madrid is lining up a 50+ million offer for Ronaldo.
I'm not offended, I just get VERY VERY passionate about the subject, particularly since I don't have many places to discuss the matter, so I kind of lash out whenever it's talked about. I'll always argue for Ronaldo and Mourinho because I think they're two of the best at what they do, and they make me very proud to be Portuguese.
Tis a good chat, let's keep it up
