I don't know. You must ask to the others teams that have spent more money than the Real Madrid in Players in the last years - Manchester, Milan, Barcelona, Inter, Lazio,etc - why they have not signed Figo, Zidane or Ronaldo.

This year the Manchester had spent more money in Ferdinand that the Real in Ronaldo.

The last year the Milan wasted more money than Madrid signing Rui Costa and other players.
The same for the Lazio with Mendieta and other players.
And the Barcelona with Saviola, Rochemback and other players,etc,etc..


If player like Zinade, Figo and Ronaldo prefer to play with the Real Madrid instead of in others teams is good for the Real.

It's curious how Ronaldo has been injured training when he STILL HAS NOT TRAINED WITH THE TEAM.

He is making gim sessions alone this days and will begin to train in the pitch the next week or at the end of this week, following the indications that the doctors said when Ronaldo make the medical examination - and that i commented in the first post of this threat.
The doctors said after that examination that Ronaldo will be ready to play in three weeks - because he has not trained in last month - and that has no changed. The doctor also saw in this examination a little "contractura" -sorry i don't now the translation - that - ATTENTION - need ONE or TWO days to be cured.
For more information, this is a very common injury and there are 4 Real Madrid players that have that injury and all will be ready to train tomorrow.

"If we were to feel there was reason to investigate further then we would have the power to do so, but that is not our intention in this case."

I don't see any problem. Ah, Which are those clubs?. Do you have comments of people of those clubs about that?

Thank you. And I as "madridista" request pardon for sign players that wants to came to the team like Ronaldo. The next year if we need a forward and one of the best forward in the world wants to come to Real Madrid, we will pushish ourseft only for think in sign him.

Real Madrid director general Jorge Valdano has told Spanish daily 'AS' that Ronaldo's entourage are not welcome around the confines of the Bernabeu.

"Real wish that spokesman Rodrigo Paiva, agents Alexandre Martins and Reinaldo Pitta should not enter the dressing rooms, the training ground or the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium," said Valdano.

The trio have picked up a reputation for causing trouble following the Brazilian's controversial move from Inter.

I see dificult the operation because no of them wants to leave the team. And because Macca earn s 4.5$M (free of tax) because he arrived like a free agent.

Things may change if they don't play in the next months. But this is dificult because althought they aren't in the starting team they play many minutes -Ex, both played in the last game. They are "team players" very important for the team.

The Media has said that Valdano had said to the Ronaldo's Agents that they must go to the dressing room and training ground. Valdano hasn't said nothing to the Media about that.

I think that this type of things haven't to be said in any serious club. I don't think that the Ronaldo agents were in the Inter's dressing room.

What the team had said is that the Ronaldo doctor cannot go to train with him - like happened with the Inter.Althought as he knows Ronaldo very well, he can colaborate with the Real Madrid Medical staff sharing knowledge.

Inter President Moratti said yesterday to TVE (spain television) that Ronaldo paid to the Inter 6M$ in order to compensate the lost one of money with Nike - I has never seen a player pay that money to go to a club.

Moretti also said that in Dicember the Inter will be able to choose between Macca, Solari and money. That decision will be taken by Cupper.

Speaking about Ronaldo, He played yerterday his first training match with all the players. And he make four goals. He first official game with the team seems that will be the setember 25th against the Genk in the Campions League.
