Real Madrid Expecting 75,000 Fans For Cristiano Ronaldo Unveiling
The Santiago Bernabeu is expected to house an attendance akin to a real football match when ‘CR9’ is revealed to the world…
It was predicted a few weeks ago that as many as 25,000 fans would turn up to watch Cristiano Ronaldo’s highly anticipated presentation at Real Madrid, however, such an estimate has been re-evaluated over the last week.
Still going to find it surreal when Ronaldo finally puts on the Real Madrid jersey. He better get use to the fact if he doesn’t score in two games and Real Madrid suffer a poor run of form that he’ll be the whipping boy cause of his transfer fee for the next six years.
Gabriel Obertan Close To Manchester United Deal – Bordeaux President
The young winger could be Old Trafford bound…
Manchester United are close to signing Bordeaux starlet Gabriel Obertan, according to the French club.
The midfielder, who was loaned out to Lorient by coach Laurent Blanc for part of last season, is highly-rated in France.
On the bright side for United fans who needs a Ronaldo, Tevez or even a Ribery when you can have a Valencia, Owen and Obertan.
Milan CEO Adriano Galliani: Real Madrid Have Destabilised The Transfer Market
The Rossoneri executive has blamed los Merengues’ free-spending for the inflated prices in the transfer market.
Milan vice president Adriano Galliani flew back to Italy yesterday after ineffectual talks with Real Madrid supremo Florentino Perez, who he has since blamed for destabilising the transfer market.
Always hate these woes are me claims from big teams. This is the same club who paid 22 million euros for Pato when he was only 17, forever blowing the lid off the transfer market in Brazil for young players. Let’s not forget A.C Milan also bought Gianluigi Lentini in 1992 for a world record transfer fee of 13 million pounds which stood for four years til Newcastle signed Alan Shearer.
