I don't know how old r u and if you had the chance to watch Ronaldo in 1996/7 season, but if you didn't then you missed a looooooooooooooot.

I was old enough during Maradona's zenith but since we didn't have La Liga or serie A broadcasted here in the 80's, i couldn't follow him regularly.

But we had La Liga matches every week in 1996/7 and what i saw from Ronnie back then i didn't see in my entire life, nor i think i'll see it ever again.
The best phuckin season someone had. 47 goals on 49 matches that season for a 20 years old kid while playing not for some third class Estonian team, but for mighty Barcelona.
And every goal was amazing ( you probably saw later that goal when he took the ball at midfield and passed through the entire defense to score smoothly.....i watched that match LIVE, and i swear i thought how he'll be the number 1 of all time)

But then he made the most stupid thing in the world by joining inter and i can't forgive him for not fullfilling my prediction and not becoming the best of all time.

Even if 10 years passed since 1997, i can't accept that a man who was doing all those things at 20 is finished at 30.
He's still the best attacker in the world. He only needs a change, a motivator like Gattuso and better psychiatrist

Milan Ready To Sign Storari Milan need a new goalkeeper after Kalac's injury.
Milan Ready To Sign Storari
zoom - galleria

According to reports Milan are about to reinforce their goalkeeping department with Messina's Marco Storari. Zeljko Kalac now also joined the infirmary with a damaged knee along with long-term injured Dida. The Australian will be out for about a month, so the Rossoneri need to get a new goalkeeper before the end of the month, when the transfer window closes again.

After damaging knee ligaments in the game against AEK Athens in the Champions League in late November, Dida has been on the sidelines ever since and is still a few weeks away from full fitness.

Messina confirmed there is a negotiation underway to bring the 30-year-old to San Siro. Milan were also linked with Matteo Sereni, but Lazio have refused to sell him despite the player's desire to leave the capital club. The Rossoneri were also keen on Marco Amelia of Livorno, but he is also target for Spartak Moscow. Still, Milan are reportedly ready to make a 14 million euro bid for the World Cup Winning reserve keeper.

Oh, well, why am I not surprised...

Ehhh, for the zdrillion billion's time :
30 for a keeper is like 25 for some midfielder.
He doesn't has to run, and a keeper is getting better and better with the age.
Dino Zoff, Angelo Peruzzi, Van der sar, Dida ...

They were all better at 30 then they were at 25 or 26.

Look at Buffon. He's 29 and he's getting better with every single year passing.

28-33 are the best year for a goalkeeper.

NIce article on Ronaldo.. I do agree in most of the points with you, I`m sure that Ronaldo will be helpful for us one way or the other... If this is the expectation than I`m in for Ronaldo, but if they expect from him to be the SAVIOUR,than I`m afraid he can`t do that anymore.. though he can definitely surprise us... but if not

I am not sure if this is some tactic of Galliani, who, with his vast experience, is very much capable of doing. Our officials must have been pissed at RM's board when they did not release him and now they are trying to reduce his price lower than the 10 MN we had offered.

But! I don't know why we are going for him. The only possibility is that we are going to lose one of the following strikers: Oli, Gila or Pippo. Selling Gila would be foolish. Our officials wouldn't want to sell Oli which would make them look like lame ducks, again! Pippo has been speaking about his future. He has always been a player who seeks the limelight and if he doesn't get what he wants, he gets unsettled. Once Oli discovers his form then there will be very little possibility of him playing consistently and eventually screwing the mood and tempo of our dressing room: something our officials might be worried about.

If it is so then, we can use Pippo to extract a player from a good team, a team like Roma which has so many good youngsters. Also, Totti, who is like the invisible director of Roma, likes him and wants him to play at Roma. So.....
