Post World Cup moves (Ronaldo a Red Bull?)

I suppose some of the finer U.K. betting houses are already on it, but there probably ought to be a pool started on which World Cup players will make a big enough splash to switch clubs.

In that vein, apparently, it's been reported that drinking Red Bull also causes hallucinations and notions of grandeur:

Ronaldo, the star of the 2002 world champion Brazil, has spoken to representatives of the New York Red Bulls about the possibility of playing for the MLS team, BigAppleSoccer.com has learned.

Ronaldo, who performs for Real Madrid in Spain and who is expected to play for Brazil in the World Cup in Germany this summer, is interested joining the team, according to sources close to the club and sources from around the league. There is even some scuttlebutt that Ronaldo already has agreed to join the team, but that has not been confirmed.


Ronaldo's transfer fee in 2002 was $40 million +, or roughly half the value of the (overpriced) entire Red Bull franchise. He ain't playing here unless he needs the money or wants to lose 40 pounds.
