Ronaldinho Unveiling at Milan

Paz · 21st July 2008, 19:38

That's a presentation and a half!!

Raven_Blade · 21st July 2008, 19:43

Thats not a presentation, thats worthy of a trophy celebration!

Anyway, good for him. I hope he manages to regain the form that made him a footballing genius. He remains one of my all time favourite players.

Eyepopper · 21st July 2008, 19:46

slightly OTT

Count Duckula · 21st July 2008, 19:48

Hope that'll spur him on to get back to his best. It'll be nice to see a Milan side playing excellent football with excellent players again.

I do like ol' Little Ronald.

Phil · 21st July 2008, 19:51

Embarrassing really..

Iron Stove · 21st July 2008, 19:52

Fucking hell

Classy Cannon · 21st July 2008, 19:52

One of the most likeable players ever in my book. I want to see him back to his best, but not for them cnuts. I'd have loved us to have given him a chance to give his best for us.

Doogie · 21st July 2008, 19:53

Is there a picture of Vidic on the wall on 22 sec?

Ander8on · 21st July 2008, 19:59

I wonder if this is the REAL reason Djemba x2 left us, because he didn't get similar treatment?

Rahul · 21st July 2008, 20:00

Jebus !

When we sign someone we just get a photo of them standing with the shirt at Carrington

marcus agrippa · 21st July 2008, 20:28

jesus christ! these eye-tie fucks get a hard on for the silliest things

RedKaos · 21st July 2008, 20:38

Pretty small time, even for a club like AC.

reddevilcanada · 21st July 2008, 20:39

It looked like even Ronaldinho was embarrased by the ceremony. I guess Milan had to celebrate something after qualifying for Uefa cup. Having said that, if Ronaldinho can get back anywhere near his best form and sustain it for the next few years, their ceremony will be justified.

I reckon that's him...

FranklyVulgar · 21st July 2008, 20:42

Bit OTT but then again just look at the Geordies for Owen!

Mojo_pin · 21st July 2008, 20:55

I'd like to know how much they banked if they charged an admission fee...

AttackingFlair · 21st July 2008, 21:21

They can do whatever they want, anyway to attempt to get him back to his best.

It surely, SURELY had to be before a friendly game? I'm not sure it was though. Was all that really necessary for a player they managed to snatch from the clutches of, um, City?!

An aside, I'm usually the last person to comment about numbers on shirts. But he's gunna be wearing the number 80 next season, because that's the year of his birth. What was wrong with the classic 1 to 11 I ask you!

Psmith · 21st July 2008, 22:03

Embarassing something I'd expect City to do not 7 times European Champions. They'll be booing him by halftime into his debut.

I can only imagine what the presentation will be if Ronaldo moves to Madrid.

Maroon Lucifer · 21st July 2008, 22:11

They had to fire those fireworks. They have an expiration date, and it's been a long time since they had anything to celebrate.

VII · 21st July 2008, 22:23

Fucking hell. It's as though Liverpool has just won the league.

one thing ive come to realize watching real football is how much i hate when players wear ridiculous numbers
1-11 is and always will be class

After watching it more then once, it´s not Vidic.

Younited.7 · 21st July 2008, 22:35

Ridiculous - i can see that fat bastard flopping big time.

Although it would be nice to see the magician back in full force, he played football on a different field to everyone else, shame. Messi has taken the mantle now.

Sarni · 21st July 2008, 22:48

Good stuff, I cannot see anything embarassing in that. Definitely a worthy presentation of one of the best players of the generation, will seriously boost his morale.

peterstorey · 21st July 2008, 23:09

Fucking hell what a load of old show biz bollox

olesmyhero · 21st July 2008, 23:30

Nothing will ever or has ever been as bad as Beckham being unveiled as a LA Galaxy player. That was fucking awful.

Rams · 21st July 2008, 23:36

Was that just the presentation of Goofy? Or was that their annual open day at the San Siro where traditionally new summer signings are presented?

Makki · 21st July 2008, 23:39

That's just plain silly. Probably made the fans forget they didn't qualify for the CL for a couple of minutes though...

Rams · 21st July 2008, 23:44

I repeat, was it not AC Milan's traditional annual open day for their fans?

Makki · 21st July 2008, 23:51

Fucking hope that they don't do this thing every year.. With fireworks and stuff?

Rams · 22nd July 2008, 00:07

More or less.. yes...

At Feyenoord they land their new siginings by helicopter on the centre circle, accompanied by fire works. Their new siginings are players like John Dahl Tomasson.

MrMarcello · 22nd July 2008, 00:31

Hmmm... Milan probably banked a cool million or two from the tickets sold... probably another few hundred grand on merchandise sold at the San Siro... and a few million on televising rights globally. So in one day they've already made a profit on signing Ronaldinho.

The big spending days at Milan are over and they are predominantly opting for crocked up footballers . Every season Galliani and Uncle Sylvio
