no Manure made that mistake 4-5 years ago when Kenyon dithered over 1m or so and they lost Ronnie to Barca. That has to be the biggest transfer **** up ever. Got worse though, Kenyon then went off to Chelski. Laughable.

And for the record it would not surprise me if Chelski would pay that much, apparently Abramovich is back in love with the club. Its a bit like a kid as xmas is approaching.

Kenyon tried to be prudent in his estimation of Ronaldinho's worth, and ended up looking like a prize c*** - then went up another level on the c***ometer after proclaiming that he wasn't fussed because he'd managed to land Kleberson!

I doubt that will be the case whilst the treacherous little slug is at Chelsea.

Had United got Ronaldinho they wouldn't have signed Ronaldo. I know which I'd prefer now.

I think Ronaldo is better suited to the Prem than Ronaldinho would have been\is. I like the fact Ronaldo has in front of him far and away his best footballing year. Ronaldinho is superb and still has loads to offer I'm just saying if I had to pick now which I'd have at United it would be Ronaldo.

As a prospect thing you cant go wrong with Ronaldo as much as I hate the little cvnt But it would be a hard choice, Ronnie is prob the worlds best player (I know you'd go for Kaka though)

Kaka over Ronaldinho every time for me but I've said that for a couple of years now. Ronaldo still needs to do it more often in Europe but at just gone 22 I think he's further in his progression than Ronaldinho was at his age. He's doing it week in week out in the Prem (when not head butting players) and is doing it on the International stage for Portugal.

Workrate, willingness to learn and adapt, seems to deal with the rough stuff better, willingness to track back\work for the team

I think it's a fair call based on the two players now to choose Ronaldo. Certainly 2 years back that wouldn't have been the case but all things considered there's a good argument to stick with what you now know.

Workrate, fair enough, but back track and work for the team? not so sure.

Think Ronaldinho would be a bit of a luxury for us to be honest, not too sure he would like the rough and tumble of the Premiership but saying that, I wouldn't say no

neither is your fella terry, sorry more paper talk .......... at least the figure is getting less though (note he has a buy out clause of 85m!)

Ronaldinho would have to do his share here, says Terry | News | Guardian Unlimited Football

as for the two ronnies, easy to say on hindsight isn't it ? 4 years ago you might have said something else after Japan WC.

Exactly, but thats what you get with the best players in the world.

Doubt if Pele ever made a crunching tackle
