"It's fair to say that before the Lisbon game Ronaldo was
always destined to come to us - but probably in 12 months'
time. His performance heightened other clubs' attention and
on Sunday and Monday last week we entered discussions with
Sporting to accelerate the process. We felt it would be
better for the player, and both clubs, to get rid of all the
speculation and bring him in this season."
