Rivaldo...

edited January 2023 in General Chat
According to reports from Spain, Barcelona and Rivaldo have agreed to terminate his contract.

So where do you think he is going?

MUFC have been in the hunt in the past, but I'm not sure now. Real Madrid have denied wanting him, but they would. Lazio are rumoured to be interested...

So where do you think he is heading - England/Italy or staying in Spain...and which club

    I'd really like to see him in the Premiership every week. Real Madrid do want him even if they can already build one of the best attacks in Europe. Any team that wouldn't want Rivaldo has the best of luck from me. Given the choice Barca won't want him to remain in Spain.

    The Premiership or Italy then. Man Utd possible, Newcastle were meant to be interested, Liverpool possibly and maybe even Leeds depending on financial situation. He could come to Villa if he wants.

    Italy? Hmmm possibly. Other Brazalians are successful there. Inter, Milan, Juventus. Other than that then no not really

    Hopefully he'll pick the Premiership :D

    According to Sky sports he earns £120,000 a week so that would be a detterrent to most if not all the clubs... Real, Man utd and Inter were interested in him.

    Apparently an english club have bid £15 mil for Denilson plus Arsenal want Gilberto Silva so if Rivaldo did come to England we'd have quite afew samba stars, not forgetting Juninho if he does agree to boro.

    Before the world cup I would of liked to see him in the Premiership, however I found him to be a whinging, cheating little cunt and would hate him to bring his ways to this country, I can't think of a worse role model. I hope he stays abroad where his pathetic attitude will be more at home.

    I agree that he is a pathetic cheat who should have been sent home following the Turkey game, but I remember the damage he did to a good United defence. I'd pay to watch him again.

    Of course, I'd rather he came to United than any other English team.

    *salivates at thought of a Van Nistlerooy & Rivaldo attack*

    I'm more than happy to sacrifice his undoubted ability, it wasn't just the Turkey game, he continued throughout the tournament, just niggly things, like tranmere under John Aldridge. I hate to see it with a passion, I know he's far from the only one, but he seems to do it as matter of habit. He needs his legs breaking.

    Spain's wages are very high all over the board. Mainly because of Barca and Real Madrid.

    How would Utd play with Rivaldo? They could go like me on Championship Manager and play 3-4-1-2. Rio, Blanc, Silvestre, Giggs, Keane, Rivaldo, Beckham, Scholes, Nistelrooy and Solksjaer. Or play Veron in Scholes' place. Or Veron in midfield with Rivaldo up front even. Just typing what I think now...

    From what I've seen Denilson is over rated.

    spooky :eek:

    I've just changed from that to 4-3-2-1, or 4-3-1-2 depending on opposition...

    I'd play 4-4-2 still and drop Veron. Play Shcoles and Keane in the middle and Rivaldo up front with Ruud

    Might change to one of those for a cup game or something :)

    Yeah I can see that working for Utd if Veron doesn't kick up too much of a fuss. Half the time you can't cope with 4 defenders let alone 3 :p

    Have you managed to become England manager yet?

    No!! I had the Nigeria job for a while which was alright but I missed the day to day stuff of it (therefore longer loading times :eek: ). I applied for the Spain job, I'm the best manager in their league, and didn't get it.

    England on the other hand were runners up in World Cup 2002 without Beckham, Sol or Scholes and then went on to win Euro 2004 :D. Beckham can't get into the team :eek:

    At one point I was manager of Real Madrid and Nigeria in a Kevin Keegan stylee which was fun. Real Madrid results dipped and you could see where I got the Nigeria job on the league position graph.

    I choose Real :D

    Football at the moment is starting to enter a money crisis. Wages are going to have to fall as clubs are starting to struggle to pay for the large wage demands of all the players.

    There hasnt been much in the way of big money moves this summer because of it. I think the prices players are bought and sold for will drop slightly over the next few years and so will wages.

    God i hope not, the future is very grim if thats the case, i'm kinda hoping its already in a money crisis

    Well money crisis is a bit too strong of a word to use and this is mainly effecting spanish and italian clubs.

    Some clubs are having trouble paying the constant high wages, and clubs dont have a gr8 deal of money to spend on new players.

    when the next tv rights come around for the premiership the shit is gonna hit the fan, SKY no longer have a serious contender and so the price they pay will drop considerably, whilst the nationwide is stablising thank god, the big boys are yet to face the music

    Unfortunately as players are being paid so much the clubs are charging the fans astronomical prices for tickets, and this is seriously crippling the fans... I used to go to spurs games when I was about 10 and just checking the prices for the same seat now i'd be looking at £836, no way would I pay that when my team isn't producing the goods on the pitch :mad:

    Italian games has piss poor attendance figures but still have players earning top money... Lazio were reported to be paying out £2 mil a week in wages... fricking ridiculous :eek:

    He just wanted to "almost" sign for us.

    :rolleyes:


    We almost signed Dino Baggio this week too. I reckon we'll almost sign Kevin Phillips (again) on Friday.

    Oh the joys of supporting Spurs.

    We have to almost sell him a few times first, and then stick to form and let him go on a Bosman. :rolleyes: :mad:

    I have faith in my team.

    I see you're a ManU supporter... and live in Kent. :rolleyes: ;):D


    How many times have you been to Old Trafford... just asking out of interest. You may be one of the few United fans who's been there more times than I have.

    If I had a pound for every time that was mentioned I'd be a rich man. A very rich man. :)

    I'm 31, and have been supporting Utd since 70s. Yes I've been to Old Trafford on numerous occasions, in fact I was there a few weeks ago - only visiting this time though.

    I don't get there as often now as I used too, partly because tickets are harder to come by (alhough not if you know the right people) and I have kids, so it is difficult to justify the expense of going there over spending money on them.

    Difficult, but not impossible. ;)

    You think I'm bad, I have a brother who is a c*nt



    Sorry I mean a Gooner

    Heh! I'd be loaded if I had a £1 for every time someone's asked me about the Tottenham tradition. :D

    I too don't go to games as much as I did, again, because it's too expensive and I've a son who wants to go as much as I do. The cheapest seats at WHL are around the £35 mark. :eek: :mad:

    So basically, even if I got the restricted view £35 a seat tickets, it costs a fortune. By the time I've got the ground, done the match day ritual of a bite in the cafe and bought a programme, had a drink at half time and got home, I have no change from £100. Just for two of us to watch 90 mins of football. I don't know how families do it. Even the club membership schemes don't give you that much of a discount.


    Did you do the stadium tour at OT? I did it back in 96 (can't believe it was that long ago) and it was a great experience. Is Sir Alex's wooden chair still there?

    Funnily enough I have never done it. Have thought about taking my eldest one day soon, but no major plans. I prefer to just go for the footie. When I was there a few weeks ago, it was because I was at a conference in Manchester anyway and I was showing someone else where it was so that they could take their kids up there. It was really wierd not to be there with crowds of people...

    Still impressive though.

    Much more than Wembley ever was.

    Wembley was a dump. It looked fantastic on the outside with the twin towers etc, but inside it was an absolute disgrace.
