But no, instead Calderon has gone on French radio station RMC and had the following to say.

“I can’t give any names. What I can say is that one of the best players in the world, thanks to Ramon Calderon and difficult and laborious negotiations that having been going on since last year, is already formally a Real Madrid player.

Subject obviously to him being able to sign the relevant contract”

I wonder who he’s talking about?

And I guess it’s just a coincidence that he makes this comments before we have a huge game in the Champions league?

Will this man ever just go away?

Here’s what he had to say,

“Look, we asked for three or four players if Cristiano didn’t come.

I understood the club would have to pay an extortionate fee to bring that kid, and they made it clear to me that if he came it would be very difficult to get anyone else. Maybe one more, but at a very low price.

The thing is we didn’t need Cristiano, that was more a theme the club had going. We knew that with him alone we wouldn’t solve other problems because he can’t defend nor play on the wing.

The big surprise was that in the end nobody came.

They said they had no money. (There was money for Ronaldo) but not for the other”

The part I love most is him stating that Ronaldo can’t play on the wing. It’s surprising, that with that kind of insightful thinking Real Madrid would let you go.
