Ronaldo to Real?

I know I said I would stay away from rumor and speculation(I lied), but there are reports linking Ronaldo with a summer move to Real Madrid. This is not surprising to anybody that knows Real Madrid, and who has been watching Ronaldo this season. Real have the money to sign any player in the world, and given their current form they will need to sign a bunch. There are already rumors about them unloading Van der Vaart, and Ramos will probably stop the Dutch imports, and sign some more Iberians(Spanish and Portuguese). Ronaldo made it very clear that he wanted to leave Man U over the summer, and it doesn't look like that has changed. He has won all the badges and personal trophies with the Red Devils. And we all know about the differences in weather, style of play and women(tan vs. pasty). He has seemed increasingly petulant, kicking out at players, sarcastically clapping at refs, and taking himself out of games for minor knocks. This has always been a when, rather than if situation. It now looks like the when is next summer.
