Ow damn, media report that Witsel would be going to Zenit. Don't do it man, grow a year in Benfica and then go to a decent league, don't bury yourself in Russia

Ronaldo to Anzhi! called it first


Lol this is my personal opinion, but i do not think he is a man for money, i think he is a man for winning things and accomploshing things in the game. i.e like Mourinho wanting to win the major titles in each domestic league which he has done thus i think his time at Real if he does not win Champs League this year. So i think he will go to City or Chelsea, unless United can afford him or if Fergie goes and Mourinho brings him to United with him.

Dude watch Zenit in champs league this year, they have a sick squad and have won back to back Russian Prem titles, they are a good team.

Wait, what? Am i missing some drama here? :D
seriously though, what is happening now with ronaldo?


Indeed yes, it is madness xD I'm not sure how much it effects Ronaldo and with what time it has happend i think he might shut up and be happy if he gets offered a mega deal contract before Janurary, however if it does not i can see him leaving Madrid in Janurary, but to who i do not know. This could be madness in Janurary


I guess everyone thinks that messi is better and they are not showing any support towards him.
Also there may be jabs to him from brazilians+spanish, cause portugal sucks.

Not quite. There has always been a rift in the Madrid squad since Mourinho took over. Rumours have been around from the start that there is a divide between the Spanish and Portuguese players within the squad. If anything its more likely to do with this then Messi. And to be honest its most probably got NOTHING to do with Messi. He said in a interview:

"I didn't celebrate the goals because I'm a little sad.

"The people inside the club know why it is. I'm not going to say anything more."

It seems to be either personal or team related. Unless he's just not happy about not getting the award. Which is another story altogether (Fifa being corrupt and stupid).

Another guess is its to do with Mourinho. Similar to Beckham and Fergie. Mourinho has told Ronaldo to stop focusing on the glamour and focus more on his football. Which is a hard thing to be told when you got such a good record.

Lol i dont think thats the reason

Plus he scored his 150th goal in 149 appearances for Real over the weekend and not to celebrate either one of those is caarazzy. I think he fell out with some people big time, who it is i don't know. I doubt its Mourinho, so im saying one of the fat cats in Real's power house.


And I'm translating from the biggest greek sports hub, which translated from a spanish radio(lol) "Cr7 feels lonely in RM squad".

They do have a very good squad, but not a sick one. Personally I do not rate them higher than Benfica, so what is the use in making the switch except the money? 1 more year developing in the team he got adjusted to, and then the move to a big club, that is what I think is best for Witsel.
So I hope the media are just stirring things up and he stays right where he is now...

For how many mills? Our media was saying Anzhi came to Lisbon offering 90M for Rodrigo, Witsel and Gaitán and that our President refused.

I really doubt Benfica will sell Witsel. We just sold Javi to City, and if we lose another key player in the midfield we'll stand to win nothing this year. And it's election year in Benfica, so i doubt the President wants to lose that much credit.

The only way I see Witsel leaving is if someone pays the clause (40M €). And I doubt that Witsel would prefer playing for Zenit instead of Benfica. Only if they triple his salary or something.

Yeah i didnt mean it like he should go it's a step up. I mean it as it wouldnt be a catestrophy if Benfica sold him there but yeah i think he should wait one year and then go to European club. Maybe the premiership.

More quotes coming out now in the Ronaldo saga;

Reports in Spain claim that Cristiano Ronaldo has told Real Madrid president Florentino Perez that he wants to quit the club.


It is reported that Ronaldo has made it clear to the club he is not happy, with Cadena Ser de Radio saying the main issue is a falling out within the squad between certain players and that he does not feel 'valued' by the club.

xD How is that everyone saying Messi is better to him and that all the brazillians and spanish players saying he sucks cuz he portuguese? xD

Arguing amongst players, last year it was very well documented that Ramos and Casilas were having heated arguments with Mourinho about tactics, and players being annoyed at Mourinho for that. That will probably be the problem imo, there results have been poor, the team seems to be arguing and Ronaldo is being told everyday that he is amazing and the world loves him by supports and manager/heirachy, so now he wants out.

Your scenario is one of a Barcelona minded tint xD
However personally, Madrid without Ronaldo seems rather...bare? I can't see i would be scared to face a Madrid team without Ronaldo. Would be like playing Atletico without Falcao, it would be rather a meh match.

Barcelona without Messi or Madrid without Ronaldo would still be among the best teams out there.

i don't think there is any team with enough money and quality for CR7 to join right now, but i hope he goes to PSG cause we need a video game all-star team in real life

I'd debate that. Messi and Ronaldo's goals minus last season and well Barcelona don't look so good. Specially Barcelona without Messi, i mean imagine there back 4 withouth the option of Messi scoring 3 goals a game and saving them 3-2! Ronaldo does pretty much the same in a way for Real.


News!

Atletico Madrid striker Falcao is keen to play in the Premier League and has always 'loved' Chelsea

Radamel Falcao's father says the Atletico Madrid striker 'has always wanted' to play in the Premier League and is a big fan of Chelsea.

It all seems like typical tabloid rumours to me. I think they value him just fine. He is the highest paid player in RM and probably La Liga, right? I just don't see Mourinho or the RM board not giving their best player in the team all the loving & attention he craves.

"Ever since he was a boy he has loved Chelsea" haha! I really find that hard to believe. Id love for a honest statement. "Ever since Abramovich took over he has loved Chelsea." Still find these statements from agents hilarious though.
