I did wonder for a moment there Deano. But, you know, it has been said that he agreed to go as long ago as January, according to that erudite and learned publication, the Popbitch mailout, and I quote...
" >> The secret of his success <<
Is toe lump Ronaldo's secret weapon?
Cristiano Ronaldo has a weirdly huge lump or
callous on the big toe of his right foot. It's
very hard, and right on top of the toe. So,
is this the secret of his super-powerful shot
and extra swerve?
(FYI: A source in Real Madrid claims that Ronaldo
agreed to join them back in January this year.)"
