I know this kind of thinking is wrong, and we should look at players based on their skills on the pich. But the fact is Football is more than just a sport now. We just have to look at the removal of "Football Club" from our crest in 1998.
It'll not happen till gets himself a steady high profile girlfriend, Victoria was as important to Beckhams rise than anything else, Ronni definitely has sex appeal, but beckham had more and had more charisma too.... Ronni's still a bit arrogant, Beckham was a lot more modest and made for a better role model, ronni needs to be a more complete package before that happens..... even though his football is far better than beckhams, which as far as I'm concerned is just fine, I dont want him to get distracted the way beckham did.
