I was talking about it at the time. I'm pretty sure that we were on the brink of signing him for 29M. |

Yeah United offered £18 million (2 million add ons). And Barca then outbid us with £21 million ( 2 million add ons)... How does that work out? Edited by ZeeZoo, Apr 12 2009, 02:45 PM.

Guarentee you it was £23m. Like Zizou said, 21m + Add ons. Like i said it was in Euros though, so people look at how much it was in Euros (around 32m i think) and then convert it into pounds using today's exchange rate, hence the confusion. This is why Britain should join the Euro. |

Either way, he was worth a bit more than 23M

And a bit more than Beckham as well ![]() I cannot believe our first choice was Beckham. I used to watch Ronny on Eurosport at PSG, and he was soooo good on football manager. I loved him before we signed him, and was so pleased when Barcelona (a team who had come 6th in the league) out fought the English Champions for his signature

I HATE BARCELONA for that. Altho, inadvertedly it led to our signing of Ronaldo, so, it's all good. |

Obvs, altho would Ronaldinho have scored as many goals as Ronaldo did last year in any season? Probably not; it was freakish. Note: I'm not saying Ronaldo was better. |

AC Milan. Having bagged us £17m, and put us back on the map again as a footballing giant. Nah, judging Ronaldo this early is silly of me, his contribution to United should be judged when he leaves if we're going to compare the two. |

Quick question: who is/was better, Messi or Ronaldinho? |

Hmm, in terms of effectiveness? Messi. In terms of overall influence on a game, charisma, gaining Barca a global fanbase and likeability, Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho was far more talented too, he has more in his locker than out of this world dribbling skills. |

Messi is easily more talented than Dinho for me. Quicker, better close control. |

That's my argument exactly about Ronaldo possibly being better than Messi. |
