The Ronaldinho Tracker thread

Post all rumours/developments related to his almost certain transfer out of Barça this year. Apart from the usual names of the two Milan clubs and Chelsea, here comes a minor surprise...see last line of this article:

I'd take a gamble on him for £12

Seriously though, Milan will most likely win the race for his signature if he is available, Berlusconi has had said to my belief a number of times that he has an agreement with Barcelona that they would be informed when he was available (but the way he said it gave the impression they had first refusal)

They may be forced into meeting other priorities in the squad first. Nike will also have a big say, which gives Inter a chance.

Villa too

Boro

Since 2003 which player has had the biggest impact at Barcelona?

Is it Ronaldinho or maybe Eto'o who was signed a year later?

I think i heard that Nike havn't used Ronaldino in an ad for over a year because of the problems he is having.

Spurs...you heard it here first!

Ronaldinho will be moving to Tottenham Hotsperm!

Bring it on.

If Ronaldinho injures himself, which will rule him out for 5 months...then Upton Park is his next destenation.

Surely he has to sign for you first and then get injured.

Not sure if that's true...recently there was that ad of him kicking the ball into a basketball hoop.

La Gazetta reports..he is going to MILAN

Dinho injured in training - out for rest of season. Will that affect his transfer fee?

Than its true...His going West Ham...

It's better that he doesn't play because every time he does his value goes down.

he will not go to chelsea or liverpool, because they play that kind of football ronaldinho hates

destroying of the beautiful game and disgraceful to watch

Everyone is jealous of the football Bayern are currently playing. If only we could learn how to play beautiful football and draw at home to Getafe.

Latest is that Milan are offering 20 million

Thats actually true. While I don't think we need Dinho, Mancio and Moratti are fans... and we have a score to settle with Milan on the bucktooth saga. Moratti might just use the Nike card here, and get Dinho as a Figo replacement. More to piss off Berlu than anything else

But even if Dinho goes to Milan, I have no fear.... he is not the kind of player Milan needs, and Milan need quite a few players. So this should only add to the chaos.

If Berlu wants his man, he will get him. I don't think Moratti can compete with him. No offence, but Moratti is kind of an imbecile. Berlu is a lot of things (a crook, an opponent of free speech etc.), but he is not an imbecile.

Honestly, it was Suazo who swung that. It wasn't as if our season depended on it. If Berlu wants Ronaldinho, he will get him. The man most certainly will not lose out to Moratti.

No, thats incorrect. Coz Berlu is a businessman first, and he will only pay what he thinks is a reasonable price for Dinho. Moratti is a football nutter first, businessman next - like many people who are born to riches. If Moratti wants his man, he will pay way above what is the reasonable market price. Moratti has broken the world record transfer fee twice in the last 10 years, and so many times payed far above the market price.

If both Berlu and Moratti want the same player very badly, Moratti is much more likely to get his man.

You'd be happy with that? We should be getting much more, the buying club will easily recover that amount through image rights and endorsements. Best bet is probably to trigger a bidding war between the two Milan clubs, as we see in the posts just above this one

Oops - meant to post my response about Ronny in this thread, rather than the Barca thread.

I think it would be foolish of any manager of a top club aspiring to win competitions to take Ronaldinho. Look at the guy: he's lost his competitive edge.

A second-tier team should take him, however. But if I was the manager of the following clubs I wouldn't touch him with a barge poll.

Man Utd
Chelsea
Arsenal
Liverpool

Milan
Inter

Real Madrid

Would truly be surprised if this happened. No rational person is going to pay an exorbitant price for a player who has been poor and out of shape for the last two years.

Nobody will pay more and we can't sell players so 20M is quite a lot. It's more than what I expect!

This time it is Manchester City:
