Let's Get Real

First, about Ade. It's really becoming a mind-numbing media frenzy. Not sure why, but David Seaman now has a view as well. Who the hell cares. Wonder if he's even had a proper hair cut yet. Anyway, he says:

"There have been a couple of surprises in the people that have left and when you are looking at the squad, which is not the biggest in the world, it's worrying."

"Then, when you see the names bandied around that might leave it makes you worry more. Adebayor would be a massive loss."

C'mon. Will he really be a massive loss? For Chrissakes. He's been with us two seasons and a half. He's improved. But is he really in the ranks of "massive loss"? Is he really worth £20-30 million? I honestly don't think so. If he has another 2 decent seasons, then maybe. But right now, he wants so badly to go, then there's only one clear option. What would be a bigger loss is if we get saddled with a self-deluded prima donna missing his one-on-one jigs with Thierry Henry, and wishing he was in Milan.

It's funny, how news happens. I remember everyone getting into a frenzy about Flamini. Then it happened, and that seems like yonks ago now. It may just be the same this time. If he goes, the planet will still keep rotating, and Arse will still keep winning. If he doesn't, rest assured this time next year, all the same ole Groundhog Day nonsense will happen again.

Let's also get real about Ronaldo. There's this great little piece that puts the little twat in perspective. How on earth Ronaldo and Scolari become news items before the end of the group games just boggles my mind. You can't blame the clubs (Madrid and Chelsea). They're all adults, and all the shit that smells about them, must have been dealt by them. Let's face it. Ronaldo's a super player (in general). But put him on the bigger stages, and he has never lived up to expectations. He's had great goals, great games, yes. But that has only set him up for the fall.

So if he stays at Man U: then I'm certain he'll have a pretty good season again, score a few goals (probably not as many as last season), put in a few good performances, but more and more against the bigger teams, will do zip. If not, he goes to Madrid, then same thing. Who the F cares ultimately, let's just stop talking about it!
