		<description>If ManShitty&#039;s new owners offer 200 million - or &quot;just&quot; 135 million - for Ronaldo then I don&#039;t think that SAF will be the person making the decision about sell/keep.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a great, great player but that would be a shit-load of money for owners who have financing issues.</description>

		<description>Dont get all worked up and serious lads.  This is the time to laugh at loud at shitty. They&#039;re making themselves look like a laughing stock alround europe with thier nonsensical dream team fantasy team..wild bids etc etc etc etc. Let them bid 135 mill or 200 mill for ronaldo. So what?

The more people get wound up, say no, get frustrated, start fearing bids. Thats the time you give value and credence to people like dr sully and his silly comments. He wants to be spoken about, to be known, to be famous, to be feared, to be valued and be talked about in high esteem.  So dont give it time or credence guys. Show him up to be the clown he is. SAY YES..ok you can have ronaldo for 200 mill. ok. That&#039;ll soon shut that spurious mouth of his and get egg on his face.  That will surely show him up to be a bigmouth. Reverse psychology..show us the money you fool.

Then he&#039;ll think shit...these guys have called my bluff.  And even if he somehow does make a bid for 200 mill. Then GREAT ALSO.  Let them spend thier billions. We&#039;ll become billionaires too.  And remember even if he did make a ludicrous 135 or 200 mill bid. that would make him out to be the most stupid muppet ever.  Cause no player ever, pele maradona, cryuff, beckenbaur zidane and no player in the future will ever be worth that money.

Until a time a player a human being comes who can run faster than a cheetah, be as strong as an elephant, can morph himself into the net with the ball, become invisible on the pitch, can start flying like a eagle, can be in 11 positions at the same time. Until that time no player will be worth 100 200 300 of sully&#039;s money.

But like i said...stop worrying...lets embrace this muppets stupidity and comments...another moan in ho...gobshite.

Time to call the bluff or take him to 200 or 300 mill..lol..lol..lol.  either way we dont lose....either way they look STUPID ALL OVER THE FOOTBALLING COMMUNITY</description>

		<description>Even if City offered 350Million for Ronaldo i think FERGIE would say no becauseof the type of person he is. He&#039;s like a fan and has the passion of a fan so he hates City as muh as we do. He wouldn&#039;t sell him.</description>

		<description>Bring it on i say - We saw off Chelsea and we&#039;ll see off whatever City can produce (which I&#039;m sure won&#039;t be nearly as successful as Chelsea have been).

I&#039;d rather have the Glazers than the owners city have - Just like Abramovich he&#039;ll buy the players he wants rather than the players that&#039;re right for the team. Look at how well that policy has served Chelsea...</description>

		<description>Ishaq - taken from TheTimes.com

&quot;Financial institutions in London estimate that the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority has assets of $700 billion (about £395 billion) and Mubadala, the fund that bought 5 per cent of Ferrari, is valued at between $10 billion and $20 billion.

In total, the al-Nahyans are likely to have more than $1 trillion at their disposal, but Sheikh Mansour will not be allowed to spend that on football players. Rather, the purchase of City is a personal hobby and will come out of his bank account, although it is impossible to know how much is in it. According to Arab experts in the Gulf, Sheikh Mansour’s wealth is likely to range from $5 billion to $50 billion, but his affluence is only part of the story because the club’s acquisition by royalty will open numerous other business opportunities. &quot;</description>

		<description>This is Manchester... I know it applies, but thought it was funny that despite it being a Norwegian United Fan Blog who misquoted Fergie, getting his name dragged in to the spotlight when he never even used the word &#039;Berbatov&#039; - David Gill used the example as if he did. 

Obviously I don&#039;t really care, but just a thought / observation.

As for DD&#039;s question:

#1 Peter Schmeichel</description>
