Man Utd set a stipulation on the deal that Madrid have to pay all 80m in one go, which is what you'd expect them to do since they'll use that cash to fund new players.

110 games in 2 season in all competition scored 76 goals... quite impressive for a winger
13 Million Euro a year ( i guess it's 50-50 for the image rights then ) and a release clause of 1 Billion Euro
ronaldo's stats since the 2006 world cup are ridiculous. 91 goals in 155 games.
for me there are two cristiano ronaldo's. the world cup incident with rooney and the fallout of that (plus ruud leaving) totally changed him as a player. before he was a showpony winger, after a devastating wing-forward.
at club level he's won everything bar the uefa supercup. which is pretty ridiculous considering he's 24. he's a totally complete player as well. left-foot, right-foot, header.
mad.
yeah.. when u look @ the awards and his stats u feel somehow the amount paid is nearly justified considering his age ... without them u would doubt why would u pay all that for him
