Manchester United accepted an £80 million bid for Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid
Totally surprised by the news that Manchester United have accepted an £80 million bid for Ronaldo from Real Madrid
Manchester United has always denied that such a deal existed. It wouldn’t have been too good to refuse last summer, but another year into a contract that ends in 2012 means that Ronaldo’s value will have fallen. The perception is that even such a great player will not be able to repeat his performances between 2006 and 2008 and he was not quite as effective last season.
Ronaldo has also indicated that he has wanted to join Real in three of the past four seasons. In explaining their decision to sell, United will probably portray him as wanting to leave the club rather than that they wanted to sell him.
The club’s annual net transfer spend is £25 million so in theory this will be boosted to £105 million. However, it is not that simple. We don’t know if the fee will have certain conditions attached. It could be that United have to spread the money over four or five years.
United’s problem is that they will have to replace Ronaldo with not one but two new players: a brilliant winger and a prolific goalscorer. United might consider are Valencia’s David Villa and Karim Benzema, the Lyons striker.
It is unlikely that Ronaldo’s move would mean that United will sign Carlos Tevez permanently as the club.

FAKE IPL PLAYER Steals the show of IPL
This person is definitely grabbing a lot of attention in this season of IPL. The person has been blogging about his team and the discussions that generally take place off the field and the events that take place in the dressing room. He says that he will post about all the action taking place in the dressing room and in coaching.
This blogger calls himself a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders team and through his posts its shows his clear hatred towards the co-owner Shah Rukh Khan and coach John Buchanan. And is also posting about the post match parties too. The blogger is playing a safe game by not directly mentioning the names of the characters instead he has given them nick names with an explanation on how that name arrived. Well thats super-cool man.
His way of narrating things that are happening inside the team is absolutely fantastic.By the way IPL-2 being quite a bore with the matches being washed away by rain and the poor crowd turning up for the match, all i need is some action and entertainment. Which i’m definitely getting by reading the articles posted by you in your blog.
Who ever you are man once you get caught you are gonna be screwed for sure. But who cares, as of now your posts are better than the matches. You rock man and keep rocking !!!
Chennai super kings regain the top spot
Well Chennai super kings has made it again by beating Deccan chargers.MS.Dhoni and Matthew Hayden managed to put a decent total of 178 on board. And the Deccan chargers losing early wickets of Gibbs and Gilchrist created a pressure on the batting side. But still Smith managed to maintain the runrate till he was dismissed for a lbw. It was Jakati who struck again with the ball picking up 4 for 22. Skipper MS.Dhoni was awarded man of the match for his unbeaten 58 off 37 balls. Now the Chennai super kings regain the top spot. it seems every thing come good for them now 3 win on the row give big moral boost for them.
