Pardon the sensationalist title, but I can't believe what the great Ronaldinho is doing to his career, just so he can move away from the Nou Camp

Manchester City executive director Taweesuk Jack Srisumrid has claimed that the club have held talks over a deal for Barcelona star Ronaldinho.
The 28-year-old Brazilian appeared to be set for a summer transfer to Serie A side Milan, however reports claim a deal has stalled.
City have also been linked with the former World Player of the Year, but manager Sven Goran Eriksson has been keen to delay talk of a move until the season has concluded.
However, it is reported in Tuesday's press that Ronaldinho's brother and agent Roberto de Assis met with Taweesuk over a deal.
Galacticos
"What we will look to do in the summer is to further boost the squad, bring in top-quality, internationally recognised players," Taweesuk told The Daily Telegraph.
"Superstars would help fill the stadium and help our global branding. Primarily, we must win on the pitch - it can't be a gimmick.
"We've had discussions [with Ronaldinho] but we'll see how that pans out.
"We've looked at a host of players. Man City having discussions with superstar players used to be unimaginable, but not now.
"It won't be a galacticos strategy, but older famous names. We want to build around the team we have."
