Barca's Xavi would not want Ronaldo
Soccer Betting Lines
06/30/2009 - Barcelona, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Barcelona midfielder Xavi has blasted incoming Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo, saying there would be no room for him at the Camp Nou.
Ronaldo is set to complete a world record $132 million move to Real from Manchester United this week, but Xavi believes that Barcelona are better off without him, describing the Portuguese winger as "uncontrollable."
"We have won more titles than we expected and, because we have done so well, we have been rewarded with three more competitions and that makes us very excited," the Spain international told Sport.
"We have a lot of desire to continue winning. This group has a strong mentality and why shouldn't we dream about winning the treble again? I already said it last year and we managed to obtain it.
"As for Ronaldo, I wouldn't want him here. At Barca, we do not have room for players who fill gossip magazines. We are hard workers and sportsmen but he, on the other hand, is uncontrollable."
