Ronaldo: Free Transfer in Football Manager 2009

When starting a new game in Football Manager 2009, Brazilian footballing legend Ronaldo can be picked up on a free transfer. Whilst Ronaldo may not be the great player he once was, you can’t really go far wrong in picking him up for free, and if you’re managing a team from the top flight then signing Ronaldo is certainly something that is well worth considering.

His stats are still pretty reasonable, and although he probably won’t turn out to be your top scorer come the end of the season; I still feel that there is some definite worth having him in your team, even if it’s just for his experience alone.

Ronaldo is very injury prone, and you certainly don’t want to have to rely on him being available; get him fit though and Ronaldo’s presence in the team may just prove to have a huge positive influence.

Note: Due to his damaged knee cap, you’ll not be able to sign Ronaldo until the January transfer window opens.

Here are Ronaldo’s stats for Football Manager 2009:

*Ronaldo's recent form is poor as he's only made three starts since returning from his damaged knee cap injury, and has picked up two further minor injuries since as well.
