Whilst I hate Antony Krastrinakis with every fibre in my body he did make a good and reasoned point regarding Bale yesterday — said the world record deal to RM was stupid and undeserved — Ronaldo went to RM as PFA Player of the Year, Ballon D'Or winner, UCL and PL winner and 40 odd goals under his belt in the previous season — Bale went there on the back of his first good season, half
a dozen wonder goals and no medals and titles.
