One of the biggest transfers in the Sir Alex Ferguson era that didn't get over the line was Paul Gascoigne which was before my time... but I do remember that we held talks with Ronaldinho, who was absolutely on fire at the time. I think everybody would have loved to see him, but it didn't materialise for whatever reason.
I think Ronaldinho had his love and passion for football, but he obviously had other interests as well. I think that's why his career wasn't as long-lived as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but that's just my opinion.
If you go on YouTube and watch Ronaldinho highlights at his best at Barcelona, he was just unplayable. He was like a combination of Messi and Ronaldo rolled into one.
