Madrid make a habit of buying 'stars' that have already peaked, it will be interesting to see what happens this time.
Although a fantastic player, he is very selfish and greedy and that cost Man U the champions league - He was too busy trying to out-perform Messi then playing for United.0 -

Beckman certainly fits that category but he was seemingly bought as much for commercial reasons than football ones.Ronaldo is only 24.
Still, If I was them, I'd buy some defenders as well.US housing: it's not a bubble

It's on the BBC too.
Nice bit of business for Utd I'd imagine. How much did they originally pay for him?"I can hear you whisperin', children, so I know you're down there. I can feel myself gettin' awful mad. I'm out of patience, children. I'm coming to find you now." - Harry Powell, Night of the Hunter, 1955.0 -

United were inferior in every respect against Barca.
Smacks of sour grapes to blame Ronaldo.
I'd look to the manager, who is not as good in Europe as he thinks he is.US housing: it's not a bubble
