    looks like we might be the buck-tooth wonder. so says the bbc

    personally i don't see this as a particularly good thing, because like Bosque i think he'd wouldn't exactly be the best team player.

    First off, this will never happen. And for good reason. Actually, for lots of good reasons. Being fair, Ronaldo tends to work that left inside channel, which squarely belongs to Henry in the Arsenal set up. Being a bit more candid, the guy is a like a poison to team morale and always manages to be injured for big matches. Wenger has built team morale like no other manager I can think of, and the addition of the man with the pie chart hair-cut could only do harm to that.

    Was the final price tag for Ronaldo only 20m? And Rio was 30m?

    Is it me, or is Ronaldo out shape? It looks like he could drop a few kilos. If forced to choose between the "Toothed One" and Henry, it's really no choice at all. Allez Les Bleus!

    i betcha hoddle's calling him up after this one. "remember last summer?!"

    even though i'm pretty sure if he got ronaldo he'd ride him on the pine forever. that's the hod way!

    Real have said Ronaldo made no such comments about moving Arsenal.

    Besides, you probably wouldn't be able to spend that much money if you want a new stadium. Would be a good partner to henry though imho.

    First, a player doesnt pick a club the club tends to pick the player. It is not and has not been Wengers MO to bring in large overpriced egos. Instead he prefers to mold talent himself. Plus Arsenal have proved they will not haphazardly spend 20 million no matter who it is, in fact they wont spend 20 million at all.

    Im sure Spurs have already ALMOST signed him anyways.

    I think I would actually prefer to see Ronaldo playing for Arsenal. If he is as self-centered as Del Bosque says, he should be far less effective than Henry. As much as I hate to admit it, the little Frenchman is deadly in attack, not a quality one normally associates with those cheese-eating surrender monkeys. Nevertheless, I'm sure that Arsene will keep his lot with his current striker and Les Surrendeux.

    Yes, unless del Bosque has been resurrected. And it's the Sun.

    No disrespect to you Scudly, but gentlemen, this is getting out of hand. Can we please restrict crazy rumours to this thread in progress:

    That sounded a bit harsh from me. It's just that if we started a new thread for every rumour out there (this rumour already has 3), we'd probably have a couple hundred. Whatever, I'm not a mod and don't want to spoil anyone's fun :)

    Wow, if that's what praising Henry elicits on this board, I hope no one tries to come on here and criticize him.

    If you guys are talking about the "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" quip, relax. That's just a gag from The Simpsons.

    And LOL at whoever resurrected this thread. Talk about going way back to play with people's minds.

    I agree. This team belongs to Henry, I don't think management wants to upset the apple cart at this point in time. Especially with someone that has been getting hurt an awful lot lately.

    More like it belongs to Wenger. Wenger goes = Vieira, Henry, Pires go. Wenger stays = Vieira, Henry and Pires stay.

    Rather simple, yes?

    Maybe Ronaldo has seen the writing on the wall and realize that The Arsenal invasion of the world is on and he wants to be a part of it with TH14!!! I would love him in a red and white kit, BUT not willing to sell our souls to the Devil to get him.
