Boro in for Ronaldinho

[Scottish Mag 3]

Middlesbrough are reported to have lodged a bid for Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho.

 

Reports in Catalunya, including their leading daily Sport, claim that despite all the rumours surrounding Ronaldinho and his future, Boro are the only firm bidders so far.

 

Milan and Chelsea are known admirers and look set to go head-to-head to land the 27-year-old - if and when he is made available by Barca, who continually insist that he is staying at Camp Nou.

 

Now lowly Boro - who have a firm liking for Brazilians having signed eight over the past decade - have seemingly made what appears to be a cheeky bid for Ronaldinho as reports state their offer is as low as 15million euros (£10million).

 

Boro, whose support has continued to dwindle this term, would love to have a repeat of the Juninho era, which although was destined to failure, saw sell-outs at The Riverside on a weekly basis - interest which the club has not been able to rekindle.

 

However, even though Boro's bid has been acknowledged - it seems doomed to failure as even if Barca accepted, Ronaldinho is highly unlikely to sacrifice his Barcelona career for a team which now has only memories of European football rather than ambitions of it.

Pretty different. We made a bid which Everton were ready to accept. He chose not to come here when Man Utd got involved.

Quite a difference! Ours was a bid that was enough to get him and one which Rooney has said he'd have likely accepted if Manu hadn't been forced by us into buying him earlier than they wanted.

 

If we made a bid for Ronaldinho oursleves that would be laughable!

Yeah in his time at Barca the papers have linked us with him, either Fat Fred making a cheeky inquiry about him or speculating Ashley when he took over would go for him as a big statement, but no actual bids!

We'll look quite the fool when he joins Boro then.

And you have to admit that he looks fairly happy in the picture, implying he's keen on the move.

I think we had more chance but we were ridiculed for that so I think ripping the piss out of Boro for this is fair enough.
