Manchester United have completed the £12.24m signing of Portuguese teenager Cristiano Ronaldo from Sporting Lisbon.
The 18-year-old forward becomes the fourth summer signing made by the Premiership champions.

The club made the announcement to the Stock Exchange and have agreed a five-year contract with the player.

Ronaldo said: "I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world, and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join Manchester United.

Also...

Brighton boss Steve Coppell has opened talks with Andrei Kanchelskis over a short-term deal at Withdean.
Kanchelskis, 34, has fallen out with his Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal.

The ex-Manchester United winger, who had a spell at Southampton last season, has been training with Albion as they are near his East Grinstead home.

Coppell told BBC Southern Counties Radio: "He looks a very, very good player - a very committed trainer.

"I'm led to believe he's had offers from Japan and Saudi - a lot depends on what he wants to do with regard to his family."

He sure damn is

Very good deal for Man U ... although in my opinion they needed a new midfielder more bad than a new striker ...

But anyway

I haven't had the pleasure of seeing C.Ronaldo play yet, but I was hearing earlier on Sky News that he is a very talented player. I'm looking forward to seeing him play in the first team.

I also saw a press conference with Charlton manager Curbishly and their new signing Di Canio. Di Canio seems committed to proving himself at Charlton and Curbishly seems confident that Di Canio will behave himself .... we'll see how this goes ....

Bolton have signed striker Mario Jardel from Sporting Lisbon, subject to the Brazilian passing a medical.

MMB · 08-13-2003, 08:19 AM

^^^ That's a very big signing for Bolton ... Jardel is certified for at least 20-25 goals a season ... I think it won't be different now

PastyHusty · 08-13-2003, 04:34 PM

Considering Bolton's new signing I think they'll stand a good chance of escaping relegation again this season .... and who knows, maybe they'll finish in mid-table.
