Is this wonderkid going to out do his fellow countryman? Or is it all hype

I think you'll find he's referring to Ronaldo. As in the actual Ronaldo, not the never-will-be-Ronaldo to whom I take it you refer.

It's not all hype, but most of it is still potential. He'll need to eat a lot of pies

herbieflowers · 24-01-2008 03:03PM

Jeez, people need to relax!

DerekD Goldfish · 24-01-2008 03:06PM

Missed a load of chances last night and was taken of for ronaldo
Watched the Napoli game he looked promising
but its far to early for the amount of pressure being hyped on him he still has braces and spots FFS

Loomis · 24-01-2008 03:08PM

He has a hell of a lot to do in the game before even having a chance of getting close to what Ronaldo has done. When Ronaldo was his age he was destroying teams single handedly and was a much better and stronger player for a start. He does look slick though. He doesn't have the power or speed of Ronaldo. We'll see how is goal scoring record goes
As for the uninformed pie comment - http://uk.reuters.com/article/UK_WORLDFOOTBALL/idUKL2440341820070824
Eitehr way it never effected his goal scoring ability

The people that call Ronaldo fat obviously havent watched him play at all in the last year. His weight is down, there was a picture of him standing beside Pato and Kaka from behind, and he was as slim, if not slimmer than Kaka, yet no one ridicules Kaka cos the sun shines out of his arse despite how rediculously over rated he is.

Ah here. Says the man who refers to Anderson as 'God'. He isn't fit to clean Kaka's boots.

herbieflowers · 24-01-2008 03:42PM

It's great the way everyone on boards can easily make each other look like hypocrites

Obviously I know Kaka is better than Anderson. I refer to Anderson as 'God' because I love the way he plays and I love what he has brought to our team - but I apologize for admiring one of my team's players. What on earth was I thinking without first consulting you, the man with a grudge against all things United.

Kaka is ridiculously over rated - his performances in Serie A for the past 2 years are testament to that.

Ah now I happen to think United do a very good match day programme. And I have a soft spot for Scholes. But anyway why shouldn't I hate them? Rivals and all that

He's still won a Champions League and that is more important than the league for some people.

All well and good upping your performance for a match every 2-3 weeks but when you cant do it week in, week out and are still heralded as the best in the world, then theres something seriously wrong. Of course we all know that this is UEFA and FIFA.

so em..... Pato?

He is good mates with Deco from Barcelona

KdjaCL · 24-01-2008 07:04PM

Needs to get away from Milan fast, old ,mid table in serie a and putting too much pressure on a kid to save them.

Big ronaldo had time to adjust playing in winning teams that didnt rely/beg for him to score.

10th, 1 win at home in the league all season, hoping an kid untried gets them into UEFA cup spots.........oh how the mighty have fallen? But if they win it this season that 10th spot will be magical gets them back into the CL, dont you know.

milan are having a bad season domestically, it happens. they're still in the champions league and tbh, nobody would be suprised in the least to see them win the thing. i'd hardly be advising the kid to leave

using age as a derogitary term against milan is a bit odd aswell. as good as arsenal are with working with and developing younger players, milan are every bit as good at getting the most out of older, more experianced players, the milan lab is legendary for that.

with all the experiance in that team i cant think of anywhere better for the player right now.

kryogen · 24-01-2008 09:17PM

exacly, who better to learn from then Ronaldo

I think it's called a transition period. Players like Pato and Gourcuff and Gilardino and Kaka will be the new generation at Milan so the older ones can be phased out.

kryogen · 24-01-2008 09:23PM

another good point, milan will be back, of this i have no doubt, they are having a horrible domestic season but so did barca a few seasons ago, didnt they finish 13th or somethin??? then won la liga the next season!!

At any other club thats normal but there a certain few where it just not allowed, fans expect too much.

Rijkaar be there in the summer and look at the job he has, an aging back four an aging midfield Kaka pato the kid Gourcuff the kid and Gilardino the insane italian

If Frank was there now Pato would be playing a few minutes here and there just like Bojan and Giovanni and Messi before them, every week its Pato this Pato that....

Not the enviroment for a kid with great expectations to be thrown into.

Pato - the new Ronaldo?
