A Judas in our midst?

The ongoing saga of where Cristiano Ronaldo will play his club football next year is coming to a head.

After brash statements today in which C-Ron agreed with Fifa President/Idiot with a mic--Sepp Blatter in his sentiments describing the modern footballer as a "slave to his club", it seems that Manchester United's brightest star will become part of Real Madrid's galaxy.

And I thought the Era of the Galacticos was over. Apparently Real Madrid will do anything to sell shirts and flaunt talent.

To a die hard Man U. supporter such as myself, Ronaldo's desire to leave Man U. for Madrid is sheer blasphemy. He's coming off a 42 goal season in which he's likely to garner every award offered (meanwhile there's talk of the eccentric Ballon d'or going to Casillas or Torres--does anyone really respect this award anymore? Remember Cannavaro?). Man U. did the double as a result of his superb efforts last season and yet in true "What have you done for me lately" fashion he's tempted to leave the team and coaching staff that's made him the best player in the world at the moment for uncharted waters in Madrid.

C-Ron is undeniably the Man at Man U. Madrid on the other hand has more pretty boys and egos than a Hard Body contest in the Castro. You know what they say about too many cooks...

This whole saga stinks to high heaven. Although nothing is confirmed and the media likes a story in July, when there's nothing to report on besides where players spent their Holidays and who's returning to training camp overweight, this story does have legs. C-Ron hasn't said that he's staying at Man U. but he has expressed his desire to go to Madrid. So much can be said in what isn't said at all.

What reasons does he have to leave Man U.? Is it because he's done all he's set out to do there? Is it because his mentor Carlos Quieroz is primed to take the helm for Portuguese national team? Is it because his hot Spanish girlfriend prefers home-cooking to the cold Winters in Northern England? Decisions, decisions.

Whatever the factors may be it'll be a shame if That Boy Ronaldo is wearing all white next year in favor of the Red he looks so good in.

Say it ain't so Ronaldo. Say it ain't so.
