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.

He said that the presence of these actors is essential. They are needed to take my character forward in the film.
Recounting his near fatal encounter while shooting for his film Blue the actor said ,I performed stunt sequences 150-feet under sea to fight with 40 sharks. I hit an iron rod and started bleeding in the head. But, I was taken up on the ship within 20 seconds and provided treatment.

Google launched Google Squared in Labs
Google, the king of Internet search has rolled out an experimental new search product called Google Squared in attempt to generate structured results.
Google has made it clear that Squared is still in pretty early stages. The logo has a nice big Labs title slapped on it, complete with green beaker. Here there is no question that Google doesn’t think this product is ready for prime time. It’s just opening up the lab so we can get used to it
On Wednesday blog post, Google said that Google Squared could be useful when a user needs to make multiple searches to find the information they want.
Google Squared does not provide a list of links to Web pages, like with a traditional Google search, but presents information derived from a query in a spreadsheet-like grid called a square.
