Balague: "It's a big possibility, don't joke about it."

The always useful Guillem Balague says this:

"What is not so well known is that Ronaldinho has had in his hands a report
that shows what Manchester City plan to do this summer, a report that shows how
important the fans are for the club, about the stadium, and Ronaldinho is
actually said to his team-mates that it wouldn't be such a bad idea to go
to Manchester City.

We're not saying it may happen, we're not saying it is going to
happen, but we are definitely saying that he is seriously considering it."

There's more from Duncan Hunter, too:

"Manchester City's offer [€20m, apparently, or £16m) or is not only
competitive but known to Barcelona and potentially acceptable".

Read it all.

If, as reported, this has been done by Thaksin's people over SGE's head then it's perhaps worrying that Ronaldinho claims to know that the team will be built around him. The owner has been surprisingly quiet on football matters this season but does seem increasingly prone to Abramovich type tendencies. Can't he just give Sven and Tord the £30m instead?
