Ronaldinho to Napoli
Ronaldinho to Napoli
Staying in the past, we move to 1984 when news that Diego Maradona had joined struggling Serie A side S.S.C. Napoli led to a chorus of "Why didn't we think of that?" from clubs across Europe. And they could reverberate once more if their latest plans to pick up Ronaldinho for €2m bear fruit. Holding a well-thumbed copy of Edward Luttwak's 'Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook', a group of Napoli fans have hatched a plan to bring the Brazilian to Italy. A prohibitive €134m buy-out clause is enough to throw most off the scent, but not the Partenopei's supporters, who propose to strike a deal with the forward and then place a €2m bet at 67-1 on Ronaldinho joining the club, thus raising €134m exactly.

in my opinion iv'e stated before PELE was the greatest and i think alot of people dont give enough credit to new players they always say maradona was better IMO ronaldo has matched him ronaldinho has matched him henry has matched him zidane has matched him and i in my opinion believe others will match him to. i think ronaldo was close to the best of all time that is just my opinion alot may not agree with me but thats just what i thinkjuventino_4_ever wrote:Who is/was better than Maradona then?
