Brazilian superstar Ronaldo heading to Stoke?

Rumours are abound that Premier League newcomers Stoke City are set to launch an audacious bid for Ronaldo, who is available on a free transfer following his release from AC Milan. Upset at missing out on various striking targets during the summer transfer window, Potters chief Tony Pulis has turned his attentions to the Brazilian legend.

It really would be a signal of intent from Stoke, although plenty of work still has to be done to secure the transfer. Manchester City have been mentioned in the same breath as Ronaldo and if they follow up their interest, then their financial power will surely dwarf Stoke out of the race.

The signing would go down as one of the biggest coups in the history of world football, and follows Tony Pulis’ incredible bids for Craig Bellamy and Theo Walcott in recent years.

It remains to be seen how concrete Stoke’s interest is, but the fact that Stoke are being mentioned in the same sentance as the former Real Madrid star shows how far the club have come under Tony Pulis. 

But would Ronaldo be good for the club or have a detrimental fact? Can anyone actually see him plying his trade at relegation candidates Stoke? Let us know your views.
