| oh well ....... Man Utd Champions again :) Good to see some bloke at Chelsea thought they should change the rules so that Chelsea might have a chance of winning the Premier League ..... not that it would of been needed after throwing it away and drawing with Bolton :) Apparently someone from Chelsea said that they should have a play off like they have in Italy if top 2 teams finish equal on points (no matter what goal difference). Man U finished about 19 goals clear in difference. Good to see a lot of goals scored :) |

| rossbaynham, "Lots of players can defend" - Agreed :) So, in terms of actual football ability, that leaves: "he distibutes very well" That much better than Vidic & Evra? As Rio is hardly the teams "playmaker" of exquisite skill, I dont see how this accounts for the 20 mill+ extra on the likes of Vidic & Evra. "When did you last see him panic into smashing the ball in a clearance?" Go to any 2nd Div team in Sth Am or continental Europe where they play out from the back and this would be considered a pre-requisite, rather than anything special. |

| Mondays expert... Rio doesnt 'just' prevent the opposition from scoring. Do you know anything about this game? The extra paid for a player like Ferdinand is because he defends better than other players, he makes fewer mistakes in a key position, he holds the line, he distributes very well, he gives confidence to his team mates because they can rely on him. When did you last see him panic into smashing the ball in a clearence? Lots of players can defend, there is alot more to being a world class centre half than that. |

| I think you have the wrong ronaldo | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Never said they had to be better than Rio, just do the same job of "preventing the opposition from scoring". At Man Utd alone: Vidic 7 mill Evra 5.5 mill Take your pick of almost anyone with the spare 17 mill. There's no way you can reconcile the disparity on football ability alone. I dont buy the "he plays for Man Utd so he must be a 30 million dollar footballer" argument. |

| They paid 30 mill to Leeds, who had previously paid 18 mill to West Ham. Which 3 * 10 million players are better than Rio? He is quick, decent in the air, reads the game well, makes very few mistakes and is consistent. Being the centre half for a team that will probably win the League and is in the Champions League final speaks for itself. |

| I'm not convinced that for 30 mill (if true) you couldn't buy at least 3 defenders from around the world who would be as good as Rio at just "preventing the opposition from scoring". At that price tag you'd expect a bit more bang for your buck. |

| I wasn't trying to refute your comments, simply pointing out the irrelevance of them when looked at against his record as a DEFENDER (that's preventing the opposition from scoring) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Seymourvic, Your post doesn't seem to refute any of the specific points I made about Rio. I stand by my comments. |

| mondays_expert - "For a drug-taking, old school defender of no special talent like Rio....." ------------------------- ------------------------- He's played more games than any other Man Utd player this season, and they have conceded fewer goals than any other team in the EPL. That wouldn't be your pathological hatred of every English player showing itself again, would it? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Be good if he just gets on the pitch and hits a 30m piledriver like has has a couple of times for Oz. :) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| orright - how about he scores a hat trick but Wigan lose 4-3 :) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Off topic but anyway, Josip Skoko plays his last game for Wigan if the reports are correct, against Man U in the last game of the season. I dont give a shyet about Chelsea but would like to see a good Aussie servant go out with a win. Highly unlikely but be nice all the same. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| i thought you where on about the tranny one. keep your knickers on! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| wrong ronaldo u tw!t haha | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ronaldo is fat,out of shape and likes tranvestites. why would anyone want to buy him? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 10 mill for Ronaldo - wot a bargain price ........ and CHelsea paid how much for all their players? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| For a drug-taking, old school defender of no special talent like Rio - yes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A lot of money, isn't it! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Ferdinand - 30 mill" Please. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| scholes, giggs and neville won't see 30 again, and neither Brown nor Fletcher are in the first XI | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| oh yeah and scholes, giggs, brown, fletcher, neville | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I still shudder at that debacle that was the FA Cup final between these two teams so I hope Chelsea don't pull United down to their level again and make it a 0-0 game that goes into extra time... Wouldn't be fair for English football to be seen in that light... |
