Soccer CentralBoth Pele and Gordon Banks passed out their warnings to Cristiano Ronaldo about a premature Man U departure. Both have stated, he needs to honor his end of the contract that has four years left on it. He is now 22, when his contract ends with Man U he will be 26. My personal take on this situation is that he does need to heed the advice of two of the best players in soccer/ football history. At the same time, it is his decision to make. Pele and Banks have a point but at the same time he, Madrid, and Man U have already made this a big deal. Will his teammates accept him although his thoughts lie elsewhere?
Other News
- Brad Guzan and Aston Villa have agreed to the fee that it will take to send him from the States to England. Guzan is a good keeper and I think he will thrive in a more competitive environment. English Soccer could possibly shape the 23 year old into America’s next number 1.
- Although Barca failed at landing Arshavin, he apparently has his eyes set on Arsenal.
- Frank Lampard‘s potential move to play for the Inter side is all up to him now and it is completely his decision.
- With the completion of the Nasri signing, the Gunners are looking to complete the deal with Barca to move the unsettled Hleb.
- Former Barcelona player, Deco, has moved on to Chelsea to join former Portugal manager Luis Scolari. He moves into a rather deep midfield as they already have the likes of Joe Cole, John Obi Mikel, Michael Ballack, Michael Essien, Florent Malouda, Claude Makelele, and Frank Lampard.
Corrections
- After Brazil confirmed that Ronaldinho would be joining a very young Brazilian Olympic team in the Beijing Games, the FIFA has denied him. While it would have been fun to watch an Olympics with Ronaldinho on the field, Brazil has enough young players to take his place. He would have only over-shadowed somebody else’s opportunity to shine.
- Although the source from AC Milan believes that they can acquire Ronaldinho if a move is to occur. The key phrase there is: if he moves. Amidst all the speculations and rumors, Barca may decide to keep ‘dinho after all.
Striker Samuel Eto’o scored a magnificent hat-trick as defending champion Inter Milan demolished Werder Bremen by 4-0 at the San Siro stadium in a UEFA Champions league group encounter. As the Cameroon international was at his devastating best to score a hat-trick, influential Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder also made his mark with a brilliant goal. Despite of the departure of their magical coach Jose Mourinho, Inter proved that they are still a team to fear with this stunning show.
