Official: Ronaldo signs for Milan

There are a proliferation of rumors on goal.com that Ronaldo may come to Milan. Personally I would love this transfer as he is exactly the type of striker we don't have. Depending on his present level of abilities we can use him as our main striker os in a "Larsson" type role, hopefully some of his experience would rub off on Olivera in particular and maybe Gila.
Before you all crucify me for wanting this let me clear up some myths about Ronaldo

1)He's fat: Ronaldo has, since the WC lost all of his excess fat and is down to his ideal weight. Real madrid.com confirms this.
2)He's slow: if an injured fat Ronaldo could have managed to do the 100m in low 11's...imagine what a healthy one can do!
3)He's past it: He has scored four goals in his last four games and returned from the WC as the highest goalscorer ever.

However I believe his achilles heel might be his poor work ethic...If Carlo could reach him somehow.....our attack would surely be augmented

FORZA RONALDO FORZA MILAN!!!!!!
Let him come in MILAN PLEASE!!

i don't think so.

yes he had a few great seasons back in barca but he lost his edge after inter transfer(as many other players). Partly due to injurys, but the fact is he just isn't the same player he was. In my opinion Milan needs someone who plays good now and will play good in the future. ronaldo just isn't that guy. he would just be another rivaldo or vieri

Ronaldo WAS the best forward around, but that time is now gone. I would welcome Ronaldo if he is willing to sit on the bench and be a back up. But as we can see, he doesn't like sitting on the bench a lot in Madrid plus his salary would be sky high for a squad player. So, I don't think he is a solution to our team. There is better options out there, and we all know that Madrid will ask a huge price for him anyway. Signing him would be just cleaning Real's crap with paying them a big ammount. He is nowhere where he used to be, and all that's left to him is his name.

dont you read the news! milan was offered ronaldo and cassano and they turned them both down!

and im sure they were free and had no relation with a possible kaka transfer. plz, we dun need real's trash. if they want to sell cassano out right for 4 mill then milan shud take the gamble. as for ronaldo, NO. we dun need to go down this road.

I think the negative hype the media has given Ronaldo is unfair...how could someone who is sooo past it make a 100M in 11s?
How could someone who is sooooooo poor score 14 goals in half a season?
( the other half he was out injured).
How could someone who is so bad score the second highest tally in the WC?
I think that at the very least he can serve us the way Larsson did at Barca

The Ronaldo criticism is unfair. I think he would be a great buy, but I doubt Milan will sign him.

what are u sayin , ronaldo isn't fat or what elsse , he has some problems this season but he still is one of the best players in the world and i would be happy if he joins Milan .

I also dislike the negative hype, and anti-Ronaldo sport journalism lately.
Also, i would hate to see Ronaldo with Milan's jersey, so it says enough what do i think about how good and useful he may be !

But i'm an afwul person, and i have to go against you drucurl

100 M in 11s doesn't mean he didn't past it. It's not how fast i'll ran the 100m, it's more about if i can walk at all after i do the sprint. Maybe i can outrun Gattuso in 100m race, but i'll drop dead after 2 minutes running, while he can run for 2 more days.
Ronaldo is in awful physical condition, and that's the main problem with him. He's not doing much to get back at 100%, and changing clubs won't help a lot, imo. It's in his head, where the problem is. He has more football knowledge in his little finger than most of the other players have in their heads and legs, but he did lose the hunger. ( edit : the hunger for football and goals , of course. )
He can still be very useful , though. I agree with you here.

Also, 14 goals in half season is an advantage for him, while the same amount of goals for Gila last years half season is forgotten and underrated ?

1) Well... maybe if hes running for hamburger in nearby McDonalds. You wont see that running on the pitch for sure.

2) I assume u watched WC and maybe u agree with me the only reason he was playing was that record. Every normal coach would bench him and pick better/faster/younger forward - which brazil has plenty. The coach was sacked afterwards anyway

And finally... Hey, we got Willy now. Why even bother with new attacker?

I first of all doubt the credibility of the news... so I'm not going to comment further than that . I think it's fine if he comes over though, but I'm not sure if MIlan management is willing to deal with the press, which always seems too eager to put down Ronaldo for whatever reason it is.

I would be ok to have them over, if those were just stand-alone transfers. but you don't want to deal with the crazy Real management for Kaka'. and I am sure that Galliani and Braida knew better to turn down that "offer", if it was ever true.

I dont get what certain ppl see in this fatass. He's finished as a player, and on top of that his unporfessionalism is almost as bad as Cassano's. Just look at the latest reports and how he once got DRUNK to the training session at Real with Robinho

did larsson cost 20+ mill to barcelona? our team does not seem to spend cash readily, and if that amount went to ronaldo, you can guess which holes in our team would remain unfilled. with that money i wud rather buy abidal/alex and suazo. theres no doubt that ronaldo can still produce substantial numbers, but for how long? can he handle another trip to serie a? if he slumps, will our money go down the drain? this is like takin the gilardino gamble, except this player has no future. gila has not necesarily produced what we expected, but we comfort ourselves in the fact that he is young and can improve. these are sum reasons why the odds are stacked against us if we decide to splurge on ronaldo, and i havent even mentioned how this wud affect the kaka deal.
