Official: Ronaldo signs for Milan

does milan loan him,or buy him???

Milan seems to be willing to take Ronie for the next 1.5 years, which is basically how much he has left on his contract with Real. This is however if he manages to rescind his contract and Milan don't have to pay a transfer fee. things may change if end up paying such a fee even if it's a small one.

Mijatovic initially started with an inflexible position: 20 million Euros or Ronaldo stays put, even if that’s at home. Galliani took the opposite end of the economic spectrum.

The Italian exec stated that Milan would be pleased to count on the Fenômeno, but only if he arrived back at San Siro on a free transfer.

Both have since softened their positions, Madrid willing to let the player go for around 10 million Euros and Milan making an initial – rebuffed – bid of 4 million and readying a higher 8 million offer according to Italy’s ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’ (Sports Gazette).

If the reports are to be believed it’s possible that a Ronaldo deal may be hammered out for a midway 9 million Euros that appears to be acceptable to both sides.

Isn't the problem with Ronaldo that whenever he does not score he just looks a bit unfortunate.
The ones who are saying that Ronaldo shuldn't come to Milan must base their oppinion on their belief that Ronaldos career at Real has been dissapointing. Otherwise there would be no point in saying that we're 5 years too late and that he is cronically overweight, overrated and so on.
According to ESPN soccernet stats Ronaldo has in 4 1/2 seasons scored 98 goals in 147 competitive matches, an average of 0,66 goal pr. game for Real. Due to injury and lack of form I remind you that he has far from started every one of those games. For comparison Inzaghi has scored 68 goals in 101 games for us, average of 0,67 goal pr. game and he is by no means considered a dissapointment. Other examples are Henry averaging 0,62 pr. game (222G, 138G) and Sheva with 0,61 pr. game (169G, 102G) for us also.
What I am trying to say is that Ronaldo always gets his goals. I know that Henry and Sheva run a lot more, are influential and set up goals, but there is nothing wrong with Ronaldos goal tally.
He has special skills and I believe that Carlo and the staff at Milanlab can get a couple of good seasons out of him. Afterall Ancelotti seems to have a way in dealing with players who cant seem to fullfill their potential.
I think Ronaldo would work well with Gila and he could be great with Oliveira in form, Kaka playing behind them...

I personally think that the negotiations will reach an impasse.

Our management are, to put it euphemistically, frugal.

They won’t budge, and Calderon is playing hardball.

I still hold out hope for Oddo though, and I hope I am proven wrong about Ronaldo because I really want him at Milan.

yeah unfortunately i think that as well..i dont think we will end up getting ronaldo mainly because of our management and the relations with real.. i hope im wrong

I don't like the idea of us buying Ronaldo

Deadly accuracy, goal scorer, he will be good for you, I would like it if he rejoins us, but the reasons for not coming here are bigger than my negligible intrest in him any more, and here is yet exagerating his actions towards Inter fans who have supported him for many many years.
Ronaldo is really a ........, well I won't degnify him with even an insult.

from channel 4:

Bronzetti expects Ronaldo move:

Real Madrid transfer consultant Ernesto Bronzetti is confident that Ronaldo will complete a January move to Milan.

The South American has been made available for transfer by the Liga outfit and although there is still no agreement between the clubs, Bronzetti sees a happy ending for all.

“My personal opinion is that it will happen and I’m hopeful,” the football agent underlined on Thursday evening.

“There is a negotiation underway between Milan and Real Madrid seeing as the Rossoneri are ready to hand him an 18-month contract.

“All that is needed is for Ronaldo to rescind his contract at Real, even if the Spanish club don’t want to give him away for nothing.

“There have been some bids made by Arabian clubs, but Ronaldo wants nothing more than Milan.”

The San Siro boys were already linked with the former Inter sensation in the summer and Bronzetti has confirmed that bid.

“Real Madrid received an offer of around £11m from [Milan Vice-President Adriano] Galliani,” he added.

“Real didn’t accept though because they were convinced that fee wasn’t enough. I think there will be more talks soon.”

Milan had also been associated with Real enigma Antonio Cassano, but the Italian’s Madrid nightmare looks set to continue.

“I’m 99 per cent sure that Cassano will end the campaign in Spain,” concluded Bronzetti.

Cassano has fallen out of favour with boss Fabio Capello and is also available for transfer this January.

I think its better to have Ronaldo as 4th striker than Borielo

yes, I think that is undoubtable.

Its better to have Ronnie as a 4th striker than to have no 4th striker, coz Borrielo b sample came out positive.

there could be a huge upside to this...what if (might be a big what if, but) what if:
Ronaldo looks at this as a 2nd chance...he has been beat up by the press in spain, he has lost favour with fans and coaches...what if he becomes motivated to prove everyone wrong, and finds his old form! Rejuvinated and excited about playing with kaka, dida, and cafu... the milan lab does it thingy...and we get the fenominon?

plus his contract is only for 1.5 yrs...until hes 31 or 32...not a bad gamble, int that time hopefully gila finds his form, or we find someone else...

the only bad is if he pulls this "im above the team BS" by showing up to work late, hungover or drunk...this could seriously effect the youngsters.

What if...what if...what if...

What if we add him to the list....Rivaldo....Redondo....Vieri....

How many goals does he have this year in all competitions? And does he even play all 90 minutes in the games he scored in?
