Cristiano Ronaldo or still King Raul? That ronaldo is such a prima donna even dare to criticise Fergie.

Maybe just that MU he don't want to join , not the tax problem .
true, he never said he wanted to join MU, and he said he won't move, but once RM comes in, he answers asap..
anyway, everyone wants to be near Zizou and his new revolution, quite a smart move to instill him..

it would be funny as hell if the footballing world decided to punish Real Madrid by not buying any of the players RM try to sell. Force the bastards to carry a huge wage bill for a season. I mean, it's like they're splashing cash just to keep players from going to other teams now. I say turn it around on them. It's going to take a helluva manager to control all the egos on that team now.
Please Ribery go to RM as well!
Would love to watch the soap drama there!
This would be brilliant

Mixed feelings for Benzema
"I'm sad and happy at the same time," Benzema told Lyon's official website.
"I'm happy because I'll be signing for a great club, which is one of the biggest in the world.
"When I was 16-18 this is the team I dreamed of above all. Now, in a few weeks, I'll be there. I am very happy.
"But I'm sad because I'm leaving behind my friends, the people with whom I grew up here in Lyon - I love all these things. But I will always follow Lyon because this club made me grow.
"I owe them everything."
Questioned as to whether he felt he could emulate the achievements of his future team-mates in winning the Ballon d'Or, awarded to the best footballer in Europe, he replied: "Yes, I have thought about this.
"I must just keep having good seasons with many great matches whether with the club or the French national side.
"For me, this must be a player's goal in his head, even if it's an individual trophy.
"But if you want to be a somebody in football, and be recognised, you need to win the Ballon d'Or at least once. It's always in the back of my mind.
"All that's happened to me so far has been a dream, but I must keep working to make others come true."

Benzema reveals United snub
"Indeed, I could have joined Manchester United, Barcelona, Internazionale or AC Milan, but Real are unique. Everyone is dreaming to play at Real.
"I really wanted to stay at Lyon until the next World Cup. The opportunity to play with stars like Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and so many great players, made me change my mind."

Florentino Perez managed to get a shirt that belonged to Ronaldo for Benzema
Marca today features an article that highlights Benzema's devotion for both Ronaldo and Real Madrid. The French striker dreamt of having a shirt that belonged to the Brazilian star when he was a child in the academy of Olympique Lyonnais. Thanks to Florentino Perez and Lyonnais President Jean-Michelle Aulas, Benzema received his idol's signed shirt.
Real Madrid and Olympique Lyonnais clashed at the Bernabeu on 23 November 2005 with Presidents Florentino Perez and Jean-Michelle Aulas in the Presidential Balcony. "I need you to do me a favour," said the latter to the former, "I have a kid that's just about to make his debut with the first team and he is nuts about Ronaldo. Could you get me a shirt signed by him?" "No problem," replied Perez, "I will personally send it to you." That kid was Karim Benzema.
A few days later, Benzema received a gift that would forever change his life: Ronaldo's shirt dedicated the following way, "For Karim. Affectionately, Ronnie." There and then, Benzema decided he would wear that same shirt in the future.
The striker made his debut with Olympique on 6 December 2005 against Rosenborg and scored his first goal in a European competition. He was still 17 years old.
maybe thats why he wanted to sign for Real? to follow the footsteps of his idol?
