Was signing Ronaldo worth it?

Must admit I was surprised by last night. Obviously he hasn't forgotten where to get to if you want to score.

Since he was last in Italy he's obviously slowed down. It only takes 2 defenders to bring him down it used to take 4. I'll doubt we'll ever see the mazy runs that made him a hit at Barca and Inter but he's still a class act.

His touches are effortless but question is can Milan cover his workload across the pitch, without rocking team morale.

In final, considering he cost about a 1/4 of what Inter paid for him and a 1/10 of what they sold him for. I reckon it was a fair deal.......if they can keep him healthy.

Watch his celebration after his 2nd goal he jumps up on Kaka and punches the air, reminded me of Pele at the '70 world cup.

Regardless what happens Ronaldo will always have an out cause as he'll be able to play to 40 in America.

Great start for Ronnie. AC desperately needed a proven goal scorer and thats what they got.

Ronaldo is still good enough, unlike his galatico mate Beckham... hopefully he doesnt do well enough to get Milan into the CL

The goals themselves were more opportune goals as opposed to goals he created himself. He probably missed the easiest 1 on 1 you'll ever see after a Siena defender kept him onside.

Great game from Ronaldo vs Siena, the 3 Brazillians up front really looked comfortable playing together, hopefully Ronaldo's move also brings the best out of Oliveira who has been finding hard to score goals since he joined us.

If Dida was playing instead of Storari, I think the final result could of been alot more attractive for Milan.

what's with Hamburglar?

After his magic pills helped him lose 5kgs in a week, he's now back in Brazil getting gene therapy on his hammy!

I want this guy back in the Serie A, adds some interest to a midfield reliant Milan.

He has to be back for the derby the Curva Nord miss him

Ronaldoâ€™s injury saga has taken another twist after allegations from the Italian National Olympic Committee President that his treatment is a form of doping.

Milan's Brazilian hitman has been injured since July 31 and has become increasingly frustrated as his recovery date has been repeatedly pushed back.

What was initially expected to be a routine thigh strain has now been revealed to be a much more serious complaint.

Reportedly disillusioned with the efforts of Milanâ€™s medical team, Il Fenomeno opted to travel to Brazil to consult his national sideâ€™s doctor Jose Luis Runco, much to the chagrin of the Diavolo.

Runco accused the Rossoneri of misdiagnosing Ronaldoâ€™s condition and a new course of treatment was undertaken, but now Runcoâ€™s methods are under the spotlight.

The procedure allegedly involves injections of protein strands from healthy blood into damaged tissue to encourage growth of damaged tissue â€“ a process that Luigi Frati believes is a form of doping.

"This kind of therapy is surely doping," he was quoted as saying when questioned by the Press yesterday.

Ronaldo is due to return to Milan within the next 48 hours, but the man in charge of anti-doping procedure in Italy Ettore Torri has suggested that there may be an inquiry into his treatment.

"I am waiting for news and there is no guarantee that we won't launch an investigation," Torri told Ansa on Monday evening.

Surely Milan must realise that Galliani doesn't run the league anymore
