So AC Milan have said he can go for around £7m but personally I think Harry and Levy could knock that down to about £5m so do you think it would be worth a shot?
Ronaldinho is 30 and still is quality, he just needs to find a new hom to love him for the last 3 or 4 years of his career so why not Tottenham? He has been one of the worlds greatest players over the last decade and if we could sign someone like that instead of Beckham then it would really make the world take notice of us.
I know a lot of you will be saying “but who would he replace in the team” the answer is nobody but with all our games in the Premiership and Champions League we need to rotate our squad. He can play right or left and behind the striker or even as a striker which means should the likes of Lennon, Bale or Van der Vaart need a rest we could replace them with a player of equal quality.
Spurs are now an attractive proposition and surely he would fancy a crack at the Premiership, he will see we have players like Bale, Modric and Van der Vaart and relish playing with those guys. It would boost the clubs status worldwide and surely increase revenue through shirt sales, so at £7m or possibly even less with a bit of wheeling and dealing do you think Harry should try grab another bargain? If we don’t step in then the chances are he might move to America or even back to Brazil but at only 30 I think he still has 2 or 3 years left in him that could make a difference to us by improving the players around him and bring even more experience to our team.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I can see the merits of either him or Beckam. Of the two, I would prefer him…but would his merchandising/branding equal that of Becks?
no thanks. the days are gone where we buy has-beens coxie
Too old.His form can only deteriorate from now on.
Best player I have ever watched. I know some may say Messi and Zidane are better, but I don’t think anyone can deny Ronaldinho is the most entertaining out of them.
Ronaldinho flicking balls over peoples’ heads onto Bale and Lennon runs. Great. Also would mean that defenders could no longer double up on Bale.
Go! Go! Go!4it!
He would want Maaahusssivvvveeee wages :/
No point, he was at one time the Worlds best, not now though! For £5 – £7Mill we are better off putting that in the pot to sign a quality Striker like Fabiano or Suarez. Thats what the team needs, a strong quality finisher with ability.
@beachbum, do u reckon 30 is too old? For 5-7 million isn’t he worth it? We have a busy schedule coming up
I think him and van der Vaart would create a formidable partnership. They’re both “midfielders” but both play in such an advanced way that they could easily be considered strikers. Especially Ronaldinho, he doesn’t track back or help out defensively, but will come back a little deeper than your average front man. Keane and Berbatov worked because they linked up exceptionally well, despite both of them not being considered “out and out strikers”. Both van der Vaart and Ronaldinho have been prolific enough, and both are smart enough to make it happen.
Why is it that when a player reaches 30 they’re considered a has been? He’s still a goalscorer, a great character and a brilliantly skilful player and 30 is not old at all. He was also considered the best player in the world for a while, and as a result will always bring the benefits from merchandising too.
Not to mention top Assist provider in Serie A last season.
Why aren’t Milan working hard to keep him? By all accounts he’s still a bit of a party boy, it was partly the reason Barca got rid when they did.
We’ve been unable to tame Giovani dos Santos, so why would harry take the risk with Ronaldinho?
Don’t get me wrong, I love his style and it’s even better that he smiles when he plays – like he still loves the game – had we got him earlier in his career I’d've been absolutely chuffed to bits…
We need a BIG centre foward. Let’s spend £40m in January and win the CL at Wembley!! COYS
