UEFA president Michael Platini has maintained his stand on the fact that he viewed the record signing of Cristiano Ronaldo by Real Madrid as indecent. Real Madrid has reportedly signed Ronaldo for a whopping 94 million euros. The UEFA president who was on a visit to the Spanish giants’ stadium expressed his opinion that the amount seemed indecent in a news conference at the Santiago Bernabeu. The remarks came just before the clash between Real and AC Milan in the Champions League. The following transfer rumors spread like a wildfire and seem to be really hot.

The Ronaldinho Question

The Big question is: How much longer will Ronaldinho be with Barcelona. I have much respect for ‘Dinho, but he lately does not show true class and ‘Soccer love and devotion’. He has been out late at night clubs and his late showings at Camp Nou and this current season have been very bad.

There are however possible reasons for this kind of behavior as can be seen with certain superstars that “could have been” or “were thought of have been”.

  • Some players come from poverty
  • Fame gets to their head
  • The team stops putting normal pressure on them

Analysis: Due to some players coming from literal poverty, the sudden fame and money that is at their hands goes to their head. Since they get this way, sometimes their level of play declines(sometime A LOT). Often these players will flaunt their wealth, not that this is a bad thing, but sometimes it is unnecessary. Sometimes their careers or expectations go down the tube…literally.

Anyhow: What will happen to Ronaldinho, will Barca keep him and next season he will be back and re-focused? Or will he get better in mid-season? Or will he continue these ways and end up on the transfer block?

In the English Premiership, Tottenham Hotspur has bought defense man Jonathan Woodgate for a reported £7, roughly 14 million dollars U.S. This puts a cap on all the speculation that he would be headed for Arsenal and his former club Newcastle United.

Middlesbrough allowed the transfer to be done because it was clear Woodgate wanted out or at the very least a change. Eurosport got a quote from Middlesbrough boss, stating “It seems he wanted to head off”.

ESPN is also reporting that the deal will be finalized sometime tomorrow, Tuesday January 29.

Best of Luck Woody!
