Ronaldo Controversy Is Getting Tired
Wayne Rooney really deserves more attention for his service to United
Blah, the Cristiano Ronaldo pages of falsehood and melodrama continue today in the gossip pages. Supposedly Manchester United demanded £80million from Real Madrid to even consider letting the Portuguese mid-fielder depart from Old Trafford. Supposedly Real Madrid have responded to the effect of Ramon Calderon stating through The Sun: “we’ll never pay £80million for one player”.
Carlos Queiroz also supposedly said that Ronaldo should stay at Old Trafford, because the Manchester United fans and supporters have put forth more affection that he can receive anywhere else.
Blah again, I’m so tired of the false drama being brought about by Manchester United and Real Madrid in the press, over Cristiano Ronaldo. Either go to Madrid, or stay at United, it’s not that difficult. I’m tired of watching football news, or reading an article, and having the only topic be Cristiano Ronaldo and his lack of anything resembling a real decision on the issue. Also I might add, Ronaldo’s opinion really doesn’t matter anyways, because Manchester United controls his fate, if they want to sell him they will, if United want him to keep playing at Old Trafford he doesn’t have a choice until 2012.
That’s it, keep it at that. Stop covering the really involving important dramas that are actually plausible. Like Chelsea absolutely throwing away Frank Lampard, and actually considering a £6.6million offer for the England International. Or Jose Mourinho not taking the importance of Lampard for granted, and cutting his summer holiday short to push forward more talks with Lampard to get him to sign with Inter Milan.
That’s a big issue I’m not hearing much about. Lampard is the real soul of Chelsea right now, because face the facts John Terry hasn’t been the same and always looks as though his back injury is still very prevalent in his defensive motion. Terry cannot carry the team, and hasn’t in a good long while.
But Lampard is there to score an amazing goal when Chelsea need him. And the way things look so far, Scolari’s first action as the new manager of Chelsea is going to be throwing away one of the best things going for the club.
Or considering relevant Premiership news, how about Paul Ince’s newfound uphill battle to keep star players Santa Cruz and David Bentley at Blackburn. As the big worry for Ince right now should be keeping the club as a contender for the top flight, as they became last season with a seventh place finish. Especially considering the main club to vie for David Bentley is Aston Villa, who finished on place above Blackburn, Ince needs to get in there and convince Bentley to stay at Blackburn and help their campaign. Opposed to losing their brightest star to Blackburn’s direct opposition.
(the talent Blackburn could be bidding farewell)
So seriously papers, how about more relevant headlines, instead of Ronaldo having the top headline spots every day with news about the lack of anything happening in either direction for the Portuguese.
Don’t forget also, that Wayne Rooney is the real hero in red:
