hes an idiot. he isnt worth 20 million let alone 80­ million. think about the countries in recession and­ madrid are spending a massive 80 million on a man.­ STUPID AND SELFISH.

ARSENAL ALWAYS.

What a plonker ! This just shows the arogance and ego­ of the man. No one player is bigger than the team. Real­ Madrid and the spanish league will be a totally­ different challenge then the premiership and he wont­ get away with throwing hissey fits at the Bernabeu.­ This just confirms that Ronaldo is in it for the­ cash.... look at Messi, in my opinion the best player­ around and showed Ronaldo a master class in football in­ Rome. He is a true professional and plays his heart out­ for Barcelona and recognises he is part of a team who­ play for each other and the club. I look forward to La­ Liga and the many more master classes from Messi and­ Barcelona. Ronaldo will be found !

i dont think any player cost that kind of money.PEOPLE­ ARE DIEING EVERY DAY BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO­ EAT !!!!!!!THINK ABOUT IT!!!

maybe ronaldo(the brazilian) and cristiano(the­ portugis) put together on thier top form worth the­ price of "cristiano ronaldo".. daa..­ nevermind.. they alreadybought him.. just let them­ be.. U know happiness cant be bought by money..­ Didn't they learn that at school?

Can i ask why on earth there is a player cost nearly as­ much as the price to own Newcastle united dat have­ Martins and friends can exist? Put him alone one on­ eleven with newcastle first eleven and see how funny it­ can be. haha

He's a 1£ player but is worth £80m as a actor:)

Ronaldo did not worth that 80million pound deal. First­ thing he is childlish and
immatured. He's nothing­ but a piece of junk. I think Real Maddril should have­ such
a huge sum of money on about 4 spanish players­ that would do them better. Personally
and realistically­ speaking, I am a chelsea fan but Fernaldo Torres is the­ best player
in the world and Real could have spent that­ money on Torres who could have done for
them more work,­ score more goals, and could reach them to many finals,­ and give them
many titles.

Real Madril, the hiring of­ Ronaldo's servives would you all nothing but the­ beginning
of many night disappointments. Ronaldo is­ childish and complain alot. He's a­ pamper
kid.

Sorry Ronnie your not worth half of that figure, even­ the best player[ in the world] is not worth that­ amount, but one thing I,ll say about you , your EGO is­ biggar than your head.

La Liga is a great league. But, you can't claim it­ is the Best. The Prem, La LIga, and Serie A are all­ good. Even the Bundesliga is very good at times.

The­ truth of the matter is that Ronaldo isn't worth £80­ m. Perez is an idiot and he has paid a dear premium for­ his players, which was unnecessary and very poor­ business. It is only going to hurt Real. Your team was­ very good this past year. Why tear it down and buy a­ whole new team? It seems short sided, childish and­ idiotic. It is this kind of decision making that has­ caused the current global recession. I hope Real get­ their @#$%*s handed to them by Barca.

ben, you said la liga is a step down from premiership­ but then claimed best players in world are messi, kaka­ and iniesta.
they all play in la liga so surely that is­ best league in world. plus barca are
european champions­ and spain are euro 2008 champions.

definitely not worth £80m.
was good in premiership­ against @#$% like bolton, hull etc.
will maybe­ struggle in la liga cos he'll be playing against­ better players.

No single player is worth 80 mil pounds. Zidane­ wasn't, Ronaldo the First wasn't, Cristiano­ isn't. This is a bad business move by Real.­ There's no way they're going to increase their­ profits on what they've spent on all these new­ players. They were already popular this move isn't­ going to make that much of a difference and if they­ don't gel it could be disasterous.

The question of whether Real madrid paid a fair price­ for Ronaldo depends on what they want to do with the­ player. They may wish to sell merchandise bearing his­ name, especially during their pre-season tour of Asia?­ It may not matter if his performance on the pitch does­ not measure up. They are still likely to recoup the­ investment in club merchandise

milesbetter658 now we hav 80 million to spend it is­ time we gt an outstandin winger such as aston villas­ ashley young, river plates rosales, or olic, frm i­ think werder bremen, or an even better stiker like­ aguero, or nw he is better diego forlan

I think the people best able to answer the question of­ whether Ronaldo was worth £80 million are, on one side,­ the Glaziers and on the other side, their creditors.­ Mr. Ferguson has so far not really pulled out all the­ stops to sign one of the "big" stars. I am­ wondering whether now the money is in the bank, that is­ where it will stay to service the massive MUFC debt.­ The only problem is who will be sold to service it next­ year? Certainly no one who is currently signed to MUFC.

he is 1 of the worlds best players bt i dnt think he is­ worth £80 million, he isnt even worth as much as kaka,­ and im a Man U fan, the player wnt b able to live up 2­ the £80 million price tag tht has been set on him, he­ will end up just bein a medeoker player in the spanish­ league, the only reason he will loom good is wen the­ opposition is weak, wen u luk at the league he is­ leaving behind, he is takin a step down, i reckon if­ real madrid was in the premier leagu they would be in­ the bottom half of the league because they are no­ longer one of the worlds strongest teams, in my eyes­ the 3 best players in the world ( nd the only players i­ think r worth £80 million) r messi, kaka nd iniesta

What an @#$% !!!

If they were paying for biggest ego...then Ronaldo­ would be a clear #1. Don't get me wrong, I do like­ him. He's an amazing athlete when he's not­ diving. It's just his attitude and lack of­ gratitude are what puts a bad taste in many mouths.

Enx54 Let’s not be naïve, football’s a business,­ nothing more, nothing less. ‘Wouldn’t sell that lot a­ virus’, but you’d sell that lot, the best player in the­ world for years to come at a knock down price.­ Ronaldo’s the biggest sports star on this planet ( all­ sports ) and will be for years to come. He’s a huge­ star worldwide already. What’s he going to be like in­ six years time? The reason they took so long to get his­ personal terms sorted out was the image rights and­ advertising. How they were going to slice that cake up.­ That’s where the real money is. Does Ferguson­ understand what he’s given to Real Madrid? I wonder. I­ think Ferguson’s wants football to be like the days of­ Matt Busby and Bill Shankley and that’s an admirable­ thing and we should count ourselves lucky to have­ someone like that, … but that’s not where the world is­ headed and you can’t blame people for grabbing as much­ as they can, while they can, because it may not last­ forever.

As for Fergie being afraid of talent. Afraid may be the­ wrong word but have a look at that You Tube video and­ tell me what you think. Was Ferguson purposely not­ reacting to those Ronaldo free kicks? Was he not­ impressed? Had he seen it all before? What did he do­ wrong? Is this why Ronaldo ‘messed’ up so many free­ kicks last season? How could you not be jumping wild­ with glee at those shows of genius. I know I was and I­ wasn’t anywhere near Old Trafford.
