I have the rich list here in front of me.

Ronaldo is the 100th richest footballer in the UK and is worth £12.5 million. He gets paid £125,000 a week at United (that's before Nike sponsorship deals). A Bugatti Veyron is a piss in the ocean to him.

wow i thought Ronaldo made the top 10 :shock: ... thats alot of money for a 22 year old!

I wouldn't worry. He's contracted for another 5 years I think and Mijatovic (Real's director) said that signing Ronaldo and Cesc is an impossibility so he won't be going anywhere just cos his dozy old dear says she likes Real Madrid. If he does I'm sure they'd get a fair old packet anyway.

Yep the "virtually impossible signings" story came out today, so i guess were all good there but was a short scare;) Spurs on sunday will be a game to see for neutrals i think can see goals galore the way they did counter attacks against Arsenal reminded me of us but still not as good us as us...surely not?:)

Manucho was the best player on the pitch for Angola,scored a diving header and showed good skills,SAF got it right by signing him,but do you know what is gonna do with him?loan?

you guys dont have creative accounting? or tax breaks for the rich? like interest on loans, etc.. or tax shelters?

the sort of money we're talking about its easy to offset paying all that tax..

offshore accounts etc...

as for any merchandise/endorsements...

you set up a company to recieve the money and pay less tax...

Rooney bought his for £1..

theres plenty of ways around it..

thats good to hear, ive not seen much of the ACN...

its been hinted that he'll go to portugal on loan..

probley to one of the clubs we'll be looking to do business with in the summer...

so porto or lisbon...
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread .

more real madrid stories coming out...

if madrid are such a huge draw...

how come they have to go to such lengths..

and be so underhanded in signing players....

if ronnie goes he goes...

no doubt we will uncover a new star and move on (as we always do)

maybe one day madrid will produce there own world beaters instead of buying everyone elses...

lol dont think our record of producing/developing young/unknown talent (and winning trophies with them) is too bad....

big difference in waiting until someone else has developed the player then swooping in for him when he is a world beater...
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread .

Aint that the truth! Its benn a long time ago sice the Becks, scholes ,Nevilles ect.

Dress it up how you like, you spend big on big players. You can't really complain when bigger clubs want to buy your best players can you?

like who...

yes we spend big...

but on potential...

ruud wasnt a well known player....

ronaldo,anderson and nani are/were relativley unknown..

so we're vidic/heinze/evra..

wenger spent big (well for arsenal) on reyes and theo..

how did that work out??

yeah the best english player for a generation...

but we were the only team willing to bankroll that much on...

"potential"...

for all wengers fantastic signings...

the only trophy you have had a sniff of in the last three years is..

the carling cup...
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread .

Of course Rooney is now a better player, Name me one 18 year old that after a few years isnt.... And im sure Heinze, Vidic, Nani and Ruud were all full interantionals were they not?

Ha ha selective memory time again. There was the Champions League final, I think that 16 minutes from winning it is more than just a sniff away from glory!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread .

actually Wenger's real mission was to get "potentially" good players and sell them for double value so that can repeat and Arsenal will eventually become more powerful then United. Don't think the plans worked as much as he hoped for.
