UEFA Champions League Draw

Ronaldo needs to hurry up and get out of italy and move to spain. If he leaves inter i would rather him go to another team like Barcelona rather than Real Madrid. The rivalry between these two teams needs to come back, and that wont happen if Ronaldo goes to madrid.

Ronaldo will never go to Barcelona. He was there some years ago, and he was treated very bad. He doesn\'t like Barcelona, he loves Madrid and if goes out of Inter, destiny is Madrid. Furthermore, Barcelona has not cash to buy the player nor pay the year.

PD: Rick the deal is alive. We\'ve some hours left to sign Ronaldo.

And Jaye, we have as good a chance as anybody, you\'ll see. We have more chance than Bolton!!

Anyone has a better chance than Bolton, especially considering the way they are playing right now, they\'ll never get any where near qualifying for Europe on current form. I\'m not expecting overnight success for them. As a person with both feet firmly on the ground, and his head out of the clouds, I know it will take at least 2-3 seasons to get together any sort of decent team. Sam Allardyce has already started putting the first building blocks to future success in place be re-signing Youri Djorkaeff, getting hold of Jay Jay Okacha , possibly getting Taribo West and aparently beating the deadline to sign Ivan Campo on loan.

As for United, I don\'t class them as one of the better teams in Europe, I even reserve judgement as to whether they are the best in England, In all honesty, I don\'t think the premiership is all that it\'s cracked up to be. Uniteds defence is their Achilles heal (even with Ferdinand), and because of this, I think any strong European team with any class up front will tear them apart.

Just read the Ronaldo deal is back on for something like £20million plus Morientes, then Inter are going to sell Morientes straight away to Barcelona, and then buy Hernan Crespo from Lazio!!!!!!! Italian transfers are really f***ed up! AC Milan have just bought Nesta from Lazio for £18million, quite a bargain I think, Man Utd should have gone for him.

Hahah, yeah!! Ronaldo\'s signed for Real Madrid: GREAT

It\'s not very sure that Morientes arrives to Barcelona, but, anyway, it was a great deal. BTW Rick, it isn\'t 20 million pounds, it\'s 20 million € (big difference).

Europe should shake: Real Madrid = Ronaldo, Zidane, Raul, Figo, Roberto Carlos, Helguera...

uniteds defence is weak, the prob last year was blanc.... so they have sold/let go of the other cb, and bought rio, who is very good, but the weak link is still there... blanc is not good enough anymore

Another uneducated football watcher!! Second half of last season, Laurent Blanc was one of the best centre backs in the country. Bash me all you like, but if you watch all the games he played in after xmas, he was very impressive. Yeah he\'s lost his pace, but he is still a very good player. Bugger about Ronaldo

not really, i just dont rate him...... theres prob player i thin are very good, but you dont.... i just dont think he is good enough to warrant a 1st team place everytime

Maybe, with Rio back from injury, and O\'Shea impressing a lot, I doubt he\'ll make the first team much after christmas

I hope that Dortmund will reach the second group draw, and I\'m sure that they will.

My predictions:

Group A: Arsenal, Dortmund :smokin:
Group B: Valencia, Liverpool
Group C: Madrid, AEK Athens (bye bye Roma)
Group D: Lyonnais, Internazionale
Group E: Rotterdam, Newcastle (sorry Juve)
Group F: Manchester, Leverkusen :rpissed:
Group G: Munich :rpissed: , La Coruna (bye Milan, the most overrated club of the last 10 years)
Group H: Barcelona, Galatasaray

Stroke I think your list is very good, but I only find a mistake: BARCELONA WILL NOT PASS

I think with Rivaldo and Nesta (and whoever else, seedorf I think....) Milan will make it through, overated yes, but they have made some good buys this summer

All hail the champions in white!!!:D  Real Madrid is going to destroy the UEFA this year with Ronaldo on their side.

Majin Prince, I pray for that. If Real gets the Final of Champion\'s, i\'ll invite you to the match

i agree real will prob win it.. they have basically bought it...... i heard a 33 million for ronaldo

kopking, inter sold him for 45 million € :

Real Madrid will pay 35 million € in 4 years. If Ronaldo hurts the knees, Madrid will stop the payments.

Furthermore, and in order to complete the amount signed, 45 million, Inter will be able to choose a Real Madrid player in January 2003 among the offers of Madrid.
