Form is temporary, class is permanent(FCBNOF's signature)

If he works hard and proves that he can be useful for team,and starts to look like the old,good Ronaldinho,then yes.But if his return means destroying our game and his self-destruction(if he can be worse ,at the moment) then no.I think he needs to be in a team where he can play a lot,where he can improve his form,and prove that class is premanent.He'll always be in true fans' heart,but in Barcelona he had best time of his career,and some very bad periods,like his last season,and that didn't change my opinion about him-and that is-the best player ever,player who changed Barca's history.I wish he could do be like Larsson and last as long as he does.

Larsson was a professional throughout his career. So was beckham. They both trained hard and always had football as their primary focus. Ronaldinho has done nothing of the sort.

Ok I don´t want to get into any sort of long argument, but to say he didn´t have football as his main focuss ? I don't think 2 FIFA World player awards just came to his door between a day and night. He obviously worked for it, ofcourse he lost concentration about football in his last years at the club and turned more to partying and stuff. But to say football wasn't his main focuss isn't very true, he always gave his heart out when he played.

But read what i said again: "They both trained hard and always had football as their primary focus". That is why they were still top top players at the age of 32+.

He was an extremely talented player, there's no denying that. However there were numerous reports when he was on top that he would skip training sessions..and when he was playing so well no one cared. But when he started to decline then it became a massive thing. What happened when capello dropped beckham from his squad? Becks worked TWICE AS HARD and got back in the squad. What did ronaldinho do when rijkaard eventually dropped him? He faked injuries, didnt lose much weight, and eventually got another contract at a different club.

I wouldnt say he gave his heart when playing. He enjoyed football, and he loved playing it of course. But if football was his primary focus he wouldnt have been so busy partying when the club was in need of soldiers and a hero.

The agree with the main idea of your post. I'm not saying he's some sort of super hero who can do whatever the hell he wants, he obviously messed up big time and at a really bad timing. But even in his last season when he played he performed pretty well (obviously not a 2005 Ronaldinho performance) but even at 50% he assisted and scored goals. I don't agree with the 'fake injuries' part, because you can't lie about injury to a proffessional medic team, who confirmed his injury .. so IF he wasn't injured, then I'd blame the medical team more than anyone.

Anyways, all I'm saying is he is definatley not on form atm, isn't working hard enough and is already warming up the benches at Milan .. the simple fact that no one here or on any other Barca forum want to agree with, is he deserves respect for the first 3 seasons he was at the club. If you would agree on that I wouldn't ever mention Dinho again on any thread. promise ! :p

He suffered one injury (i cant remember the medical name for it) which does not show up on scans. You have to take the patient's word for it. Now of course it isnt certain that he was faking the injury. However given his lack of effort in training and on the pitch, it seems suspicious. Ill leave it at that.

I am eternally grateful for his first three seasons. Would we have been where we are now without him? Most probably not. He put us as the most popular club in the world, helped us to the CL and both liga titles and was an icon for the club. Anyone that denies that is hating on him personally rather than professionally. And to be honest i can dig that..i can understand why people feel his latter years tainted his whole time at the club. But i can separate the first three years and the last 2.

But my point is..people feel he will become this useful player in his older age. I dont see why anyone would get that impression. He is a party boy that loves playing football but when the sh*t hit the fan he couldnt cope.

I don't know if he could be useful when he gets older, than fully depends on the work he puts in. He has the talent, if he 100% focuses on getting back to football then he could easily be one of the best again. That is IF he does, which is quite unlikely due to his party lifestyle. I believe he can do it with the right motivation and the right coach. (Pep or Capello could work magic for him)

There is no place for him in the squad. Iniesta and Xavi are awesome while rotation of Busquets, Keita, Helb and Yaya is well!. I was great fan of him but when he left for milan, my admiration was gone in just a blink!

I'd rather prefer to find the new Ronaldinho, maybe there is a young guy somewhere in Copacabana, who is looking for glory. As for the old Ronaldinho, Milan is perfect place for him, maybe there he'll find his youth again....considering that he is one of the younger players there

Ronaldinho fits in perfectly at Milan because:
1. it's obviously a Brizillian club
2. they're all old
3. most are fat
4. a lot are lazy
5. big fat paycheck.

none of them goes at our club and in my opinion if we do get him (i hope we don't even consider it) then the disadvantages would be much more then the advantages.
