Money Money Money...

Look at all that hype and fussReal Madrid is kicking up.
80 million pounds for Ronaldo (christiano), 65 million pounds for Kaka and more to come! Possibly 50 million for Ribery and 40 million for David Villa. How astronomical these figures are. Is this soccer my friends? It seems a bit like cattle trading to me.

For one thing, Ronaldo will not be no.1 freekick or penalty taker and he will be limited to a left wing role or at most as second striker. No more number 1 status. Money really does make the world go round. On the other hand, soccer seems to be the only industry that bucking the downturn trend and is in fact profitable. Maybe thats because its the only thing we cash strapped individuals are actually looking forward to now. But how i miss the days when loyalty was first for players and managers.

Clubs should be for the fans and not be owned toys for the rich!
