Comments on: Ronaldo to Madrid — Again http://redrants.com/ronaldo-to-madrid-again/ Manchester United Blog Sat, 11 Feb 2012 07:48:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Red Ranter http://redrants.com/ronaldo-to-madrid-again/comment-page-3/#comment-17219 Red Ranter Mon, 19 May 2008 18:49:04 +0000 http://redrants.com/ronaldo-to-madrid-again/#comment-17219 And if you think Tevez was a similar deal, then you clearly have no idea what I was talking about. Everything United did with Tevez was over the board with all legal documents ready. If there was any party that screwed up, it was the Premier League and Richard Scudamore. They messed up with the third party ownership bullshit, and they, along with West Ham, had a lot of shit they got into. If there was anyone murky in the whole affair, it was the officials at the Premier League, who after making the mistake of allowing third party ownership had to let this transfer happen or West Ham and Kia Joorabchian would have exposed the League for its incompetency. United made sure there was no legal problems to get the transfer through which is why it took so long.

I’m talking about the hypocrisy in criticizing Real about their behavior when Man U followed similar practices in pursuing Hargreaves, Tevez and a host of other players.</em> Because Ronaldo is not adamant about leaving United. And United did not follow a similar practice. Let me tell you what I am talking about: If you follow Spanish football closely, Marca the Spanish daily is almost a mouthpiece for Real Madrid. El Mundo Deportivo is the mouthpiece for Barcelona. Both clubs manipulate the media to entice players. When Calderon came to power he publicly declared he will do anything possible to get Kaka, Ronaldo, Fabregas and Robben. Now who the fuck gives him the divine right to publicly declare interest in players who are under contract with other clubs. Barcelona did the same with Henry and Fabregas. These clubs have a history of constantly using underhand tactics to get players. Even in the case of Hargreaves, United kept regular contact with Bayern which is the right thing to do. The press got wind of it and blew things out of proportion. Not to mention, Hargreaves publicly stating that he wants to come to United and does not want to play for Bayern. There is a distinct difference between a club manipulating the press to unsettle players and a player himself wanting to come to a particular club. Ronaldo has just said that it's a dream of his to play in Spain some day -- could be real or barca. Madrid and Barca ALWAYS use underhand tactics. Go to an Arsenal blog, see how often you have them cursing Real Madrid and Barcelona. Go to even Liverpool blog, and a couple of years ago they wanted to take Alonso. The English clubs are more straight with their dealings.
