Ruud to Real Madrid?


Football 365 are predicting this morning that Ruud will be on his way to Madrid this week for the fee of 11 million pounds. Good deal, Dave, or too cheap?

I don't think it is enough. It should cost Real more.
SAF said that Sheva is about the same age and have about the same record. Sheva went for 30 mill. I agree RVN is not as good as Sheva now so he is not worth as much but it should be more than 11.

I agree. Actually, I don't know why Ruud's stock has gone down so much. His record speaks for itself - 150 goals in the Premiership. Not too many players can claim that. It wasn't that long ago that Andy Gray was predicting he'd score in every Premiership match that first season at United. I can't believe one bust-up with Crybaby Ronaldo and subsequently freezing out by Fergie can do that much damage. Wish Leeds had the 11 million quid. He might just edge out Rob Hulse for a spot.

Nineteen year Guiseppe Rossi is making a lot of noise today about being able to replace Ruud in the starting eleven. Big talk for a pipsqueak. And he wants to play for Italy too. Sod off to Match Fixing Land, then, why don't you, Beppe!?

He'll have to do just that I think before he's even considered for the Azurri.

He doesn't impress me as being a leader of the like the Gelding has been for you. From the little I've seen of him, he's like a Scholes deep lieing guy who'd rather not have the defender's direct attention.

The Beebs are reports that Real has failed to meet United's asking price for Ruud, so - against the odds - United is set to start pre-season training on Monday with Ruud, Ronaldo and the Roon all on board. Expect fireworks!
