The football transfer market came to live once again this week with spainish giants Barca announcing the consume of Arsenal's Midfielder Alexander Hleb and the release of Brazilian Ronaldinho to Ac Milan of Italy.
The Release of Ronaldinho is bright because of the simple fact that his transfer means the destroy of an era at fc Barca and most importantly it makes the return to football of one of the greatest talents and personality in the game after a long time out due to injury, thirdly it leaves my dearest club ( yes I am a gunner fan ) Arsenal and we the fans wondering whats going on with our dear club, fourthly it ends Ac Milan's interest in Arsenal's Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor and also leaves Manchester City Fc ruing their miss after a long and inviting struggle for the signature of ever smiling Ronaldinho.
The pick of Ronaldinho by Ac Milan despite the fact that he has not seen action for a very long time due to injury confirms the fact that he is one of the best players to have ever played the game of football.
Ronaldinho 28, collected peep very young and on his device to greatness in the game of football ( Americans call it soccer ) . Barcelona spotted and signed the then 23 year customary from French giants PSG five years support. He was supposedly the number 2 to David Beckham before the Briton decided to join Barca's Arch rivals right Madrid.
He joined Barca at a time when things was tough as they have honest managed to qualify for the Uefa cup after finished 6 in the La Liga that year. He joined unique coach Frank Rijkaard in the job of the transformation of the clubs dwinding fortunes.
Of course he succeeded in his mission as Barca finished second residence leisurely valid Madrid the following season and went on to rep serve to befriend titles and the Uefa champions League beating Arsenal in the final a year after.
His feat did not go unnoticed as he was courted by precise Madrid and Fifa could also not ignore his brilliance as he was name the FIFA world footballer of the year.
But ever since things have gone from splendid to poor and from awful to worst for the Brazilian but now he has a grand chance to commence a revival of sort with Ac Milan.
As for Dear Arsenal, the news of the departure of Alexander Hleb adds to the growing list of the departees after Ac Milan had earlier stolen Mathieu Flamini legal under our nose and the departure of Brazilian Gilberto Silva to Greece .
Although Hleb's transfer to Barca does not seem to surprise any one as it is very certain but whats a surprise is why does the players who almost won the league for Arsenal in a breath taking map suddenly abhor the club. It doesn't even waste there as it is very possible that Emmanuel Adebayor may be also on his blueprint out of the Emirates as he has declared his contrivance to join some other clubs if Arsenal can not agree to his ridiculous and selfish demands although one wonders if Milan who are the definite favorites to heed the Togolese will smooth be keen after the prefer of Ronaldinho.
The engage of Ronaldinho leaves Adebayor hoping Barca will regnite their interest in him. But Unfortunately media reports has it that Barca have choose to abandon their pursuit of the Togolese preferring to mark Tottenham hotspur's Dimitav Berbatov instead. Barca's interest in Berbatov will clear be a thing of worry for Manchester United's Manager Sir Alex as he was also hoping to add the large striker to his striking force.
With Gilberto also gone and Adebayor one leg in one leg out, it does confirms Arsene Wenger's inconvenience earlier in the summer when he said his greatest inconvenience was not to seize novel players but to support the ones he already has. It does also looks as though as he is losing the battle to support his players as the players seem to view elsewhere for other challenges in their careers.
As for Manchester City FC and their recent Manager note Hughes who were hoping to lure Ronaldinho to the eastland stadium are now disquieted to know Ronladinho prefers to heed for Milan for a reason that is very obvious- Champions League football. Even though Milan will not be contesting in the Champions League this term but then they have a greater chance to qualify in the future than does Manchester City who can only struggle and hope for Uefa cup appearance.
Now that Ronaldinho has signed for Ac Milan, it will be intelligent to know who Manchester City and their ever ambitious manager ticket Hughes will be signing with the £25 million that was rejected by Ronaldinho and Barca.
The transfer of Hleb and Ronaldinho to Barca and Ac Milan respectively could lead to a astronomical scale moment of players from one club to another as it looks as though Milan and Barca mean business after the awful season the last time out. Hleb's transfer leaves Arsene Wenger with the headache of looking for a replacement for Hleb even though he has got Nasri and as for Manchester City it will be difficult to attract the kind of players who will win them breaking into the titanic four in the English Premiership in the coming season though they are ambitious but I level-headed do not enjoy they will be dazzling enough to acquire players of the capacity of Ronaldinho at least not for this season.
