Cristiano Ronaldo - take the money
After Alex Ferguson and Man Utd picked up Ronaldo a couple of years ago, when no-one was paying much attention to the Portuguese winger, now both Real Madrid and Barcelona are vying like mad to pay a stupendous sum for Cristiano, a player whose antics could get him crocked on the pitch at any time.
History does not look good for egotistical players who get their break and then think they own the universe. Henry has had a miserable time since leaving Arsenal for Barcelona. Beckham, though good for shirt sales never won anything at Real Madrid except one league title in 3 years. Hardly a step forwards.
Best thing regarding Cristiano Ronaldo is to sell him and take the money. His style is more suited to the premier league than Spain’s la liga, he will languish in Madrid. In a couple of years Rooney could come out of the shadow cast by Ronaldo. Remember, Sell high, buy low!
