He needs to get back into shape. That's why he is getting injured so often.

I don't know mate, to be considered a world class player, you must be consistent in your performances, of course everyobody can have a day off or two, but with Ronaldinho over the past 2 seasons, there are more offs days than good performances.
I agree that he is out of shape, but it's pretty much his fault. Yes Rijkaard gave him a lot of freedom, but still, Ronaldinho's attitude was never the best.

Well I just read on the Portuguese press than Milan have offered 20m € for Ronaldinho. I think he would be better off in Italy than in England, but I don't think he'll fit in well at Milan.

He is in the same situation as Adriano for example, if they want to, they can do wonderful things, but their attitude fucks it all up. I don't think Barça will get more than 20m € at this stage. And I'd consider it a good deal, atm Bojan and Messi are better than Ronaldinho (not based on ability, current form only).

Exactly. I was a big fan of Ronaldinho, one of the only reasons why I didn't hate Barça as much.
His dribbles, long range shots, free kicks, through balls. Pure magic.
