About Rio Ferdinand Birthplace :7.11.78, Peckham Height : 6ft 2 Weight : 12st 7 Position :Defender
Rio Ferdinand after the world cup was the most talked about english player around and all the talk was, would he join Manchester United the club where he wanted to play or not. Well we all now the answer to that question unless you are from another planet and Rio joined Man United breaking the transfer fee for a defender for the second time at a whopping 29.3 million pounds. Rios Deal was a five year contract and the deal could be worth up to 33.3 million pounds depending on the club's success. Now the question is are these superstar players of todays game really worth that kind of money? My answer to the Question is if a team like Man United is to keep up with the Spainish Gaints like Real Madrid you have to buy Star men and they dont come any better than Rio Ferdinand i think he is the best Defender in the world Bar none.
What Do you Think?
But back to the football now and what went on in the 2003/04 season for Rio Ferdinand could you believe it United are 4 points Clear at the top of the table around the new year, the defence has never looked so good since Steve Bruce and Gary Pallister where at their peak. THEN out the blue it comes out Rio has not been for a ramdom drugs test and to all of us who have a normal life and job you just want to roll over and die.
ALL THE MONEY THESE FOOTBALLER'S GET AND ALL THE STAFF AT MAN UNITED YOU THINK ONE OF THEM WOULD DRIVE THE PLAYER TO THE CLINIC.
As a Man United fan myself i think to myself we should of been lifting the Premiership Trophy again and where is your star Defender when you need him?
The Answer is sucking ice lollies in Row 12.
THIS HAS TO BE GOOD GROUNDS FOR A PAY RISE WELL DONE RIO FERDINAND.
