Ronaldo Revealed As Real's No.9

The most anticipated transfer of the summer has finally been completed and Cristino Ronaldo has been revealed as Real Madrid's number nine in front of a whopping 80,000 adorning fans. The 24-year old joins legends such as Hugo Sanchez, Ronaldo, and of course Alfredo di Stefano, and in doing so joins an elite legacy of footballers. Looking rather "pudgy" in the infamous white kit (which, he kept plucking from between his butt-cheeks) this is what he had to say:

Good evening. I just want to say, I told my friends that I was going to be very natural. Well, I'm just so happy to be here.
For me, I have made my childhood dream a reality, which was nothing less than playing for Real Madrid.
I didn't expect a jam-packed stadium. This is truly impressive!
Thank you very much, and I'm going to ask you all to say with me - I'm going to count to three - to say Hala Madrid. Ready? One, two, three - HALA MADRID!"

Now that almost all the whoo-haa is over (just waiting on the Benzema presentation next week), there's not much more to report about Madrid, their overloaded squad and the squillions they've spent assembling this new team, so I guess the only thing remaining is to see how all these superstars will actually play together... coach Manuel Pellegrini has quite the job ahead of him. Eep!
