That could be true, because the English press (the trusted one) is reporting that he has registered a new trademark "CR9". His current one, which is printed on his shirts, is "CR7" which is basically his initials and shirt number (that he wears at Man UTD), but if he leaves for Real Madrid, he'll then need to change it as Rau'l, Real's legend, owns the shirt number "7".

"The digits "CR9" were copyrighted last month in his Portuguese homeland to be used on merchandise or as the name for a restaurant or bar. The Telegraph, explains"

"CR9 was registered by his agent Jorge Mendes at the National Institute of Industrial Property in Lisbon. Ronaldo has already registered CR7."

What makes true is the situation Javier Saviola, who wears the number 9, is in. Having failed to impress anyone at the club, Saviola is set to leave probably as part of Antonio Valencia's deal.

Personally, and as I have said many times on this blog, we are NOT in a big need for RONALDO, I'd rather sign Ribery who would cost us less than 120m euros that Real are reportedly offering to Ronaldo.

This saga makes me sick.

End rant.

Schuster: Who Could Save My Ass?

There are many names mentioned in the press and new ones pop up everyday. I'm only going to talk about those who could move to a club like Real Madrid and not about those who dream and wish they could move to Real Madrid, those including Vanger Love and Amr Zaki (no offense though).

Alright, so lets start with Carlos Teves. He plays for Manchester United but since ever they signed Barbatov he hasn't played that much. He is fast, he has good dribbling skills, good ball control, but what I don't like about him is that he is inconsistent and his attitude on and off the pitch isn't that good.

Additionally, we are looking for one who should be as good as Ruud, someone who could play a similar role and in this case, Tevez isn't the ideal candidate.

Karim Benzema, on the other hand, can to some point do Ruud's job. He can play as a stand-alone striker, he is physically strong, talented and young so he could be used for short-term and long-term purposes, however, there is one problem and that is his club, Lyon.

Their president is a smart person who knows how to negotiate well. Benzema's buy-out-clause is approximately 50m euros and with competition from the likes of Barcelona, AC Milan and Chelsea, it would be pretty hard to sign him.

Okay, before I get all the hate comments from all the Man Utd fans and all the Cristiano fans, just read. You will see what I am talking about.... 

Alright. Lets see here. What was Cristiano doing the last half of the summer?

Answer: Getting orange and going to the ESPYs in LA.

What was just about everyone else doing?

Answer: Working for the upcoming/ongoing season.

How did Orangie....I mean Ronnie spend the last part of Euro 2008?

Answer: Faking and diving his way into the further stages of the Euros....that is until they played Germany! WOO!

Cristiano's Euro 2008....

Still worth stupid amounts of money, but not as much as when the tournament started. Showed some flashes of brilliance, but proved with his displays of petulance and frustration that he is not a team player.

Bernd Schuster has revealed that Real Madrid will try again to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.

Ronaldo was heavily linked with a move to the Bernabeu this summer, but due to Man UTD's unwillingness to let him go, it all failed.

However, the German trainer hopes that by next summer, Ronaldo would be a Real Madrid player:

"We must do everything possible as it would be worth it to have this player," Schuster told Spanish newspaper Marca.

"I think this year it will be a little complicated for his club to hang on to him."

Real Madrid made...
