Portugal 'sells' Ronaldo to Spain in €160m deal on national debt

I find this appalling, how could you transfer a national players to another country. If this happens, where's the honor of representing your country.

I wouldn't be surprised if Portugal decided to sell cities to China at this point.

Lol. This has not gone through by any means. Anyone who follows the Spanish side knows that they are fairly set at midfield.

Xavi? Iniesta?

Do you think it could be a April's Fool Joke ?????

[mazolaman]

Yep,nice one!

I agree with khomeinist,he wouldn't get in the Spanish side.

Players have been "switching alegiance" for a while anyway,searching for long lost grannies.

Usually,the april fool is a proposed plan to make the goal posts wider......

I found this story,written by Simon Jordan,who then owned Crystal Palace(dunno if he still does).

This excerpt demonstrates the mental calibre of the chaps who "earn" from 30k to 200k/week.....

"Last April a Fulham player liaison officer told the papers about some of his tasks. He said he'd been called out to Alain Goma's house because 'Goma's goldfish was swimming in the wrong direction'. He'd been called to rescue a player lost on the London Underground ('he was helpless'). He'd been called out by Fabrice Fernandes who kept waking up in the morning with a wet head, and discovered the player had been 'sleeping by an open window'."

so,nothing would surprise me re football.....

Man, I fell for it hook line and sinker.
