Three times the World's player of the Year, the 'big' man's career as been in decline for the last four or five years.

Well we've been linked with Pele in the past, had a fax from Rivaldo before now and even had the European two time Golden Boot winner Jardel squeeze into one of our shirts and waddle out on to the pitch for us.

 

So what are the odds that we will be linked to him in the run up to next season - along with numerous other 'galacticos' (and probably a couple more from the Villa reserve team)?

 

Davies and Ronaldo playing up front together - well you never know!

he is the kind of player allardyce would have done his upmost to sign....i very much doubt megson will consider him .

more chance of geoff horsfield joining.

Yeah, if Allardyce here it would have been spouted. Megson isn't one for the journeymen though I don't think, as we can see in his January signings.

Rumours were he was going back to brazil.

Rumour was he was retiring.

 

Might be true now, too.

Just think how big he'll be now he cannot train

Looks like you'll have to change your signature to "Bryan Robson used to rob a living" or "Bryan Robson is an ex-manager" etc. Ha!
