Samilktray Posted 3 December 2007 Posted 3 December 2007 Middlesbrough are reported to have lodged a bid for Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho. Reports in Catalunya, including their leading daily Sport, claim that despite all the rumours surrounding Ronaldinho and his future, Boro are the only firm bidders so far. Milan and Chelsea are known admirers and look set to go head-to-head to land the 27-year-old - if and when he is made available by Barca, who continually insist that he is staying at Camp Nou. Ambitious Now lowly Boro - who have a firm liking for Brazilians having signed eight over the past decade - have seemingly made what appears to be a cheeky bid for Ronaldinho as reports state their offer is as low as 15million euros (£10million). Boro, whose support has continued to dwindle this term, would love to have a repeat of the Juninho era, which although was destined to failure, saw sell-outs at The Riverside on a weekly basis - interest which the club has not been able to rekindle. However, even though Boro's bid has been acknowledged - it seems doomed to failure as even if Barca accepted, Ronaldinho is highly unlikely to sacrifice his Barcelona career for a team which now has only memories of European football rather than ambitions of it. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11827_2941112,00.html
SamL Posted 3 December 2007 Posted 3 December 2007 Who would've thought it. I don't think M'Boro would be able to afford the fee or his wages and very much doubt he'd go there.
WetFlannel Posted 3 December 2007 Posted 3 December 2007 whats the fee, half of the middlesbrough team?
Jack Posted 3 December 2007 Posted 3 December 2007 whats the fee, half of the middlesbrough team? The whole of the middlesbrough team and that 10 mil might just about cover it.
Joe. Posted 3 December 2007 Posted 3 December 2007 I actually couldn't stop laughing when I saw this earlier. It can't be for real surely?
WetFlannel Posted 3 December 2007 Posted 3 December 2007 well ive never really rated ronnie in the first place, little skills every so often i dont think makes him the best player in the world...
Fat Ron Posted 4 December 2007 Posted 4 December 2007 well ive never really rated ronnie in the first place, little skills every so often i dont think makes him the best player in the world...
Manwell Pablo Posted 4 December 2007 Posted 4 December 2007 I doubt there are many left who would say Ronaldinho is the best player at Barcelona never mind the world.
Hugo Sanchez Posted 4 December 2007 Posted 4 December 2007 Juhninho and Emerson ... But i'm sure Ronaldinho isn't looking to change from Barca 90,000 every week to 26,000 in the north east.
