Would you welcome Ronaldinho at Manchester City?

Mark Hughes, the Manchester City manager, completed the signing of Jo, the Brazilian forward, for a club-record fee of about £19million yesterday and immediately began talking about the prospect of potentially playing for former CSKA Moscow forward alongside Ronaldinho, who is surplus to requirements at Barcelona.

We are all well aware of Ronaldinho’s talents, but he has been a shadow of his former self in recent months with the sceptics wondering whether the former world footballer of the year will ever hit the heights again.

Seemingly, though, Mark Hughes would tend to answer that question in the affirmative and City are seemingly eager to bring Ronaldinho’s talents to Eastlands.

What do you think, would the Brazilian be a welcome addition to those at Manchester City, or should Hughes be looking to invest in younger, hungrier players.

dont worry bout being overpriced...aint gonna affect the club, its our nuts chairman who is payin for him. There is no down side...if he is terrible then the club ahve lost nothing, but if he gets back to some sort of the level thta we know he can play at, it could be the best purchase ever

Considering the dire lack of creativity in the City squad (Elano aside), I think anyone who questions Ronaldinho's signing should be checked for a Utd shirt about their person!

Overpriced and well past his sell-by date. Don't want him.
