Ronaldo has a 100% winning mentality - he demands perfection from himself and the others around him - yes that can come across a bit cnutish but don't let that fool you... If you listen to interviews from players who have played with him and people who actually know him personally you will find that all say the same thing - the guy off the pitch is quiet, polite and humble - but as soon as he crosses that white line though he's a winner.
The media circus thing isn't his doing - it's the media
I know his rag connection will alienate a lot of blues but the way I look at it he USED the rags to get his dream move to Madrid - nothing more...
I'm not saying I 100% want him at City - I'm kind of on the fence, but to not want him because of his winning attitude and mentality is nuts
