Was Signing Cristiano Ronaldo Worth It For Real Madrid

As my colleague Alex wrote – On a Roll- Fernando Torres vs Hull City Video Goal Highlights I have a player who I believe is even hotter than Fernando Torres (on the field of course) you may have heard of him, Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo has already became the first player ever to score in all of his first four games for Real Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo continues to add to his goal total with another two goal performance for Real Madrid as Madrid defeated Marseille 3-0 in their Champions League Matchup.

Was the £80m transfer fee worth it for Real Madrid? So far the signing of Kaka and Ronaldo has paid huge dividends for Real Madrid. You may say that it doesn’t show the true testament of the La Liga Spanish league because of the level of competition. La Liga is often a two team race for the top of the table so of course teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid will have the best players because of their deep pockets.

So you look for the competition in the UEFA Champions League. Of the four Spanish teams Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Sevilla are all at the top in the group stages. Atletico remains at the bottom of their group. The English Premiership League teams also have three teams at the top of the group stages, while Liverpool had a stunning loss the other day.

Back to my question was the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo worth it? In my mind yes. In five games he has scored five goals. That pace would put him at 34 goals for the season. In his season last year with Manchester United he tallied a goal total of 18. In his previous year he topped the table with 31 goals. This maybe Cristiano Ronaldo’s most productive year. Goals are good however the true test is winning titles. You can have the top scorer but in the end you will have to look at the Cups that are achieved. We will keep track of Cristiano’s progression and see if indeed the transfer works out. Manchester United has started slow but are now at the top of the table in the premier league as well as gaining six points in their UEFA Champions League group stage.
