I'm pretty resigned to the fact Ronaldo is going to be our Vieira for the next couple of years if he stays. Every transfer period will be a nightmare.

The only way to change that is to win some serious trophies.

Sorry to inform you but it doesn't work like that.

We won the double in 2002, FA Cup in 2003 and the League again in 2004. He still constantly flirted with other clubs.

Usually foreign players love experiencing other Leagues.

I was talking more Europe as well. If we are competiting with any club in Europe on the pitch, I don't see why he will need to move as soon as possible.

He'll still probably leave when he's 25/26 regardless. I'm not niave about that.

Indeed.

It looks like it. The Galactico era is finally over.

I still think Ronaldo in the right conditions could do a job for you.

Interesting translation...

7 million?

Guessing thats euros, thats around £4.5 million!

Bastard arabs. First figo now Ronaldo. Fuck off with your money.

so one of the clubs is Arabian club and the other is European club but not one from Italy.

Indeed, Capello has a personal vendetta against Ronnie.

I'm not happy to see Ronaldo go, everyone who knows me knows I have been Ronaldo's biggest advocate even when everyone said he was fat and useless. But Real Madrid comes before any player and the truth is that Ronaldo is completely dejected and him staying and the ongoing soap opera between him and Capello will only serve as a distraction from the team attempting to turn the season around before it's too late. Ronaldo will always be the #1 for me but all good things must come to an end.

It's beyond salvaging at this point. Either Ronaldo goes or Capello goes and for the good of the club, we simply cannot sack another manager.

Galactico period will defo be over.

Beckham agrees to LA Galaxy move
David Beckham will leave Real Madrid and join Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy at the end of the season.

The 31-year-old former England captain will sign a five-year deal, reportedly worth £128m.

Beckham said: "This week Real asked me to make a decision regarding their offer to extend my contract.

"After considering several options to stay in Madrid or join other major British and European teams, I have decided to join LA Galaxy."

In a statement, Beckham continued: "I would like to thank the supporters and people of Madrid who have made my family and I feel so welcome in my time here, making this an extremely difficult decision to make.


I am proud to have played for two of the biggest clubs in football

David Beckham

"I have enjoyed my time in Spain enormously and I am extremely grateful to the club for giving me the opportunity to play for such a great team and their amazing fans.

"I am proud to have played for two of the biggest clubs in football and I look forward to the new challenge of growing the world's most popular game in a country that is as passionate about its sport as my own.

"For the rest of this season I will continue to give 100% to my coach, team-mates and fans as I believe manager Fabio Capello will bring this club and its supporters the success they truly deserve."

Real Madrid confirmed Beckham's departure in a statement, saying: "Both parties have agreed that Beckham will not extend his current contract, which ends on 30 June 2007."

Beckham left Manchester United in July 2003 to sign for Real, who paid £25m for the midfielder's services.

However, in the three-and-a-half seasons since his arrival, the Spanish giants have failed to win any major trophies.

This season has proved particularly disappointing for Beckham, who was dropped by England coach Steve McClaren and then fell out of favour with Real boss Capello.

BBC Sport website reveals LA Galaxy would like to sign David Beckham
How the BBC Sport website broke the news in November

LA Galaxy admitted their interest in signing Beckham in November, when general manager Alexi Lalas told the BBC Sport website of his admiration for the former England captain.

In an exclusive interview, Lalas said: "The Los Angeles Galaxy are looked upon as the jewel of Major League Soccer.

"We play in the best stadium we have had incredible success over the history of the league, we have had great individual players and great teams. There's a tradition of excellence.

"All of this leads to this race to become the first MLS super club, if you will.

"It is something we aspire to and in order to do that you have to have quality players, a direction and a passion, a good coach and you have to get credibility domestically and internationally.


606: DEBATE
He's won the FA Cup, Premiership, Champions League, been England captain and played for two of the best sides in the world - if he wants to go and play in America, I don't blame him

CR
606: Have your say

"Signing players of Beckham's stature would be a wonderful step in the right direction not just for the Galaxy but for soccer in America."

Beckham, who has already established a soccer school in LA, is the biggest name to sign up for Major League Soccer since its inception in 1996.

He will also be the most famous player to play club football in the US since Pele, Franz Beckenbauer and Johan Cruyff competed in the North American Soccer League in the 1970s and early '80s.

Landon Donovan, Galaxy's star player, said Beckham's arrival would be a huge boost to MLS.

"I think it's hard to quantify what David Beckham being here would mean," he said.

"Marketing-wise it's a dream come true and it's not a 35, 36-year-old washed-up guy.

"It's a guy who can still play and a guy who still has a lot of appeal, probably the most famous soccer player in the world."











128 fucking million!!!!!

I wouldn't mind taking a risk on him even though that could cause tangles with Rooney, Saha, Laarson, Solksjaer.

Always been over rated and I never liked his influence on the England team but you can't deny he comes across as a very classy person our Becks.

Although apparently he doesnt like to train, and rarely does, i think rooney could learn so much from him, that it would be worth it in that sense alone. I cant see fergie getting someone as lazy as him though. larsson and ole can play on either wing.

I think finally, we are going to drop a lot of the dead weight. Of the current roster, I think there will be a lot of changes in the year 2007. I think only the bolded players are guaranteed to be back next season.

It will be hilarious the amercians pronouncing Becks' kids spainish names!

Salgado gone?!

Agree with Jaime on Ronaldo, I think it's a massive shame it's had to come to this but it has to happen sooner rather than later. I'd prefer to remember Ronnie for the good times that these ridiculous times we're having at the moment. I want to remember his debut where he scored 2 goals in 10 mins and the hat trick against Man Utd at Old Trafford, not this shit.

It's time for us to move on, the only regret I have is that it didn't happen at the start of the season as Becks and Ronnie have dragged on too long.

Next up, get shot of Cassano. Then in the summer get rid of the rest of the dead wood, and give some of the great youngsters we now have a chance to flourish without the circus that goes on around them.
