When I read the papers (and heard from my wife) the other day that Manchester United’s star midfielder – Cristiano Ronaldo, was gonna be sold to Spanish outfit, RealMadrid, for 80 million pounds, my jaw dropped. But alot of pundits and analysts were saying it was inevitable that Cristiano Ronaldo will be leaving Manchester United. Just days before the announcement of Cristiano Ronaldo’s buy, Real Madrid had already signed Kaka from AC Milan. This was for 56 million pounds. How on earth does a football club has soooooo much money? I was wondering if the club will be increasing their stadium’s entrance fees for the next season to subsidise these star players’ salary. I heard Cristiano Ronaldo will be getting about 180,000 pounds per week. ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THOUSAND POUNDS!!!! OMFG!!! But then again, their career can be very short-lived. Some professional footballers had to end their career due to injuries, among other reasons, at an early age. My advise to Cristiano Ronaldo is to save his money and use it wisely. =D
And with Manchester United getting some swelling in their bank now, I wonder who will they try and purchase for the coming season. But there were rumours saying those clubs whom Manchester United are getting in touch with will be “jacking-up” their prices of the players involved. Why so? Becos Sir Alex Ferguson just got a big fat cheque from Real Madrid! And their neighbours, Manchester City, are also said to be spending money like nobody’s business. They’ve already bought Gareth Barry from Aston Villa for 12 million pounds and Roque Santa Cruz is heading over there for 18 million pounds. And Man City has already rumoured to be tabling a 16 million pound bid for Everton’s central defender, Joleen Lescott. I would hate to see my Everton players leaving. But with an offer of 16 million pounds?! Why would our manager, David Moyes, let such an opportunity slip past him? I am sure he can just use a fraction of the money earn to spend on another potential gem somewhere in the lower division. Isn’t that what David Moyes is best at? Polishing the raw gems from the lower divisions and turning them into 1st class players in the premier league. =D So my other advise to our manager, David Moyes, is to let Lescott go. And use the 16 million pounds to full value! =D Come on you blues!!
Oh and by the way, I was trying all morning to score with my right foot during our weekly fottie session at Tampines Safra, but failed to do so. In the end, I did it with my left foot. Twice in fact. How ironic? So perhaps, the non-master foot may be useful afterall. =D
