Robinho deal could mean end for Owen

RONALDO may be delighted to see young Brazil international Robinho arrive at Real Madrid, but the signing of the 21-year-old striker is not such good news for Michael Owen.

In China, where he is on tour with the rest of his Madrid team-mates, Ronaldo reacted happily to the news that Robinho’s on-off transfer saga had finally come to a positive end for Real Madrid.

“What can I say, he is my friend, I speak to him almost every day and I am certain that we are all going to enjoy watching him play,” Ronaldo said.
