for Ruud Van Nistelrooy, feels that £12m for Ronaldo
represents bad business. The Arsenal boss said:
“I like Ronaldo very much, but I am surprised by the amount
of money that was paid. He only had one more year to go on
his contract, but United paid the money because they had it
available from the sale of Beckham and Juan Veron. Ronaldo
is only 18 and that is a good price for someone of that
age.”
