That's a tad harsh and I think we can all admit in reality he would walk into any team in the world. Including Bradford City.

i'm sure Bradford would jump at the chance to sign him (even in 20 years when he is looking at retiring...)

onto the seriousness of my post:
THIS IS MY OPINION, I REALISE THAT MOST PEOPLE WON'T AGREE WITH ME BUT I HOPE THIS POST HELPS YOU TO OPEN YOUR EYES TO HIS FLAW/S
i know its a bit harsh, and sort of uncalled for but i have a big issue with the media and Manchester United fans overhyping of Cristiano Ronaldo.
I agree, in full that the boy has talent, that is undeniable. However, I feel that he is holding himself back from being possibly one of the best players ever...
do you remember when you were in Primary School playing football in the yard? there was always that one kid who had to be the captain, he would always take penalties and freekicks, not necessarily scoring them, would run around with the ball, refusing to pass so that they themselves could shoot, and if you ever won the ball from them fairly they would go down like a sack-o'-spuds??
do you see the parallells to Ronaldo?
perfect example: last nights game (granted i didnt see it all, just some highlights...) but Ronaldo was able to dribble his way into the box, Rooney's marker leaves him to join a teammate in challenging Ronaldo. Rather than passing to a unmarked Rooney (i'm pretty sure he would have scored from his position) he continues to piss about with it before firing a shot at the goalkeeper... wasted...
the point of this post i guess is that he needs to grow up, advance his game and start to use his skills to assist the team rather than he, himself trying to be the team.
*hopes for serious discussion as appose to serious Karma drop*

I see what you mean.
He needs to become more of a team player and slightly more unselfish, like Rooney even.
DISS!!!!! :P
bez:
you cant argue with Ronaldo this season mate, no fucking way. The kid is on fire. Hes lit the league up this season.
