Platini Slams Excessive Ron Deal

UEFA president Michel Platini has criticised Real Madrid for their "excessive" deal for Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Spanish giants have broken the world transfer record twice this week by signing Kaka and now Ronaldo and Platini believes the deals are a threat to football's fairness.

Platini said: "These excessive transfers are happening almost every day.


"These transfers are a serious challenge to the idea of fair play and the concept of financial balance in our competitions.

"UEFA is working hard with clubs to set up a new set of rules as soon as it is possible to clean up the system and give it a more solid, more transparent base.

"That is our top priority today."

I agreed with Platini, this can't be continue, it is ridiclous to sign only one player for 80 million pound. How many clubs able to do that?

The reason behind all this is because some owner use their own money to pump into the club and spend that caused the club to have massive of debt and need to sell players at high price to cover the debt. Some club spoit the transfer market by offering over the market price for some players especially the club had high financial support, other clubs take advantage to increase their players price as well.

I think this season, Manchester City will become the 2nd highest spender in the transfer market after Real Madrid.

Manchester United Accept Ronaldo Bid

Manchester United have accepted a world record £80million bid for Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portugal international has been given permission to talk to Real after United recieved an £80million unconditional offer.

A statement on United's official website reads: "Manchester United have received a world-record, unconditional offer of £80million for Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid."

"At Cristiano's request - who has again expressed his desire to leave - and after discussion with the player's representatives, United have agreed to give Real Madrid permission to talk to the player.

"Matters are expected to be concluded by 30 June. The club will not comment until further notice.

Actually how Real Madrid come out with that sum of money?? They already brought Kaka from AC Milan for 59 million pound, now they want to buy Ronaldo for 80 million pound.

I think once Ronaldo go over to Real Madrid, they will have the best midfields in the team compare to all the club around the world.

Hopefully they still will use Raul as their forward, he is my favourite player.
