Madrid to punish C. Ronaldo

According to News of the World, los Merengues are demanding £17million from Ronaldo after he recently announced that he would not be moving to the La Liga giants this summer.

The Portuguese superstar seemed a certainty to leave Old Trafford after ignoring Sir Alex Ferguson's messages while at EURO 2008 and reiterating his life-long desire to ply his trade at the Santiago Bernabeu.

But the United boss has repeatedly insisted that his prize attacker will be going nowhere, and that indeed seems to be the case after the two met for crunch talks earlier in the week.

However, the matter is not done and dusted just yet, as Madrid are now claiming that the 23-year-old agreed terms with them and had a clause inserted in his contract that entitled the Spanish champions to a hefty sum of compensation.

The continental press reports that Real president Ramon Calderon will only forego the fee if an agreement is struck that will see Ronaldo head to los Blancos next summer.

Such an outcome remains highly unlikely, however, given relations between the two clubs have disintegrated throughout the saga.

Chelsea hires Drogba till 2010

The Cote d'Ivoire international kicked up a storm in October following Jose Mourinho's controversial departure from the club. The player and coach shared an excellent working relationship and Drogba, 30, was content on leaving Stamford Bridge for one of Europe's powerhouses: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Milan and Internazionale were put on alert.

Real Madrid were the first to slink out of the race for the powerful striker, as they had their sights set solely on Cristiano Ronaldo at the time, and their preferred striker looked to be of a younger variety in David Villa or even Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

When Jose Mourinho made his anticipated return to football with Inter, it was written in the skies that he would be joined by Drogba, but the Portuguese was quick to insist he would not be investing in any more strikers, as the Nerazzurri are already well-stocked in that department.

Milan preferred Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor to Drogba and subsequently gave up any chance they had of signing the player. In failing to even land Adebayor, they eventually opted for a signing as potentially incredible as it could be detrimental, in two time World Player of the Year Ronaldinho.

That left just Barcelona, and their pursuit was thought to be the most real of all, as they looked to ship Samuel Eto'o off to pastures new in order for new coach Pep Guardiola to establish a new era and a fresh start. Drogba was widely tipped as the ideal replacement - though Adebayor was in the frame again - but as it has transpired, despite Barça's eagerness to get rid of Eto'o and replace him with one of "four or five" candidates, it seems as though Drogba has ruled himself out of the running, which leaves Dimitar Berbatov the most likely recruit for the Blaugrana.
But now chelsea has extended Drogba till 2010

Terry insists Lampard to stay

Hi friends,
Frank Lampard is in dilemma whether to choose new club or continue with the existing club.Internazionale have only recently admitted defeat in their quest to bring Lampard to San Siro this summer, although Jose Mourinho remains determined to land his former protege in the not too distant future.

The Nerazzurri sprang for the England midfielder after contract talks between he and the Blues broke down, leaving the player with a year remaining on his current deal and opening the door for a possible transfer.But new manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has made it clear that the 30-year-old is part of his plans, despite the arrival of Portuguese playmaker Deco from Barcelona earlier in the summer.And with contract discussions set to recommence, Terry declared that Lampard is indispensable and insisted Chelsea would suffer without him.

"We’re not the same without Lamps," he said in The Sun. "Any side would miss his goals and displays."However, that is not to say that the former West Ham man should waltz into the starting XI, and Terry believes Scolari will have a tough time when it comes to team selection.

"We’ve got so much competition for places there," he continued. "Michael Ballack is now settled and we’re starting to see the benefits. Deco looks like an unbelievable signing and Michael Essien is on fire."The manager has got some big choices coming his way."

I am viewing the game from Ranji Trophy level to the newly introduced twenty twenty  mode.In Ranji Trophy game every state leading cricket palyers partiocipate. But in twenty twenty game the bet players in national level will paricipate to cope up 0with the speed of the game. The vieweres also like to see the match and the result of the match within a short span of time of 3 to 4 hours duration. the duration of the game is short, each and every player is forced to show their strength in a speedy manner and therefor the game os likeble one.

Sneijder has three months rest

While the Dutchman will still face a spell on the sidelines is better than the early prognosis of up to six months without playing, which would have meant he would not be back until the New Year.

After tests in the hospital Sanitas de la Moraleja, Sneijder was told that he had partially torn the internal lateral ligament and could return to action in early November.

Abou Diaby is persona non grata in Madrid at the moment with Marca emblazoning their front cover on Monday with a picture of him entangled with the Dutch international below the headline 'Criminal Tackle'.

The Madrid-biased daily were outraged that the referee had not blown for a foul after the challenge during Madrid's 1-0 defeat by the Gunners in the Emirates Cup on Sunday.

A smaller picture of Sneijder in a wheelchair at the airport was also featured with the paper suggesting that he could be out for over half a year as first suggested by medics.

Early report did suggest that Sneijder would miss half of the new season and several of his team-mates, including Arjen Robben, as well as coach Bernd Schuster and president Ramón Calderón expressed their dismay.

The arrival of Rafael Van der Vaart at the club would have meant that he will have a replacement, but missing a month of pre-season training will mean that there will be plenty to do when he is able to run once more.

Robinho nears chelsea move

Speaking to Globoesporte, the versatile forward offered a glimpse into his future."The season is only just beginning and I have proposals from other clubs, such as Chelsea," he admitted.

"Nothing is secure, though. We're still talking."The Brazilian, though, gave hints that he was giving serious thought to a move elsewhere after being kept back from his country's Olympic squad, ostensibly due to 'injury.'

"It's awful only being able to see the Olympic selection on television," he sighed."My intention was to join up with the group, but Real Madrid didn't want to release me. I'm very sorry about that."Robinho, 24, was reportedly also upset at being used as something of a pawn in the proposed Cristiano Ronaldo deal.

Ronaldo is not bigger than United- Nistelrooy

Ronaldo has been gunning for a mega-money move to the Santiago Bernabeu all summer, but Ferguson has remained steadfast in his refusal to let the 23-year-old leave Old Trafford.The United boss has shown no such possessiveness with his superstars in the past, having ousted the likes of Paul Ince and David Beckham as soon as they got too big for their boots.

Van Nistelrooy was another to leave the Red Devils after falling out with Ferguson. Many criticised the Scot's decision to sell the Dutch poacher, who scored 150 goals in 201 games during his time in England. However, United have won two Premier League crowns and a European Cup since his departure, thoroughly vindicating the manager's stance.

Hence, the 32-year-old understands that Ferguson will do whatever is best for the club - and if that means keeping Ronaldo, then that is what will happen, according to the Oranje star."In those meetings, if he wants to keep the player he’ll do everything he can to do so and he’ll probably succeed as well," Van Nistelrooy said on Five Live’s Sportsweek.

"What he is doing is in the interests of Manchester United. That’s what he always thinks of."Nobody is bigger than the club and it’s true. Will Ronaldo stay at United? I think so."
