But even if Ronaldinho does flop, he will make up about half of his transfer fee in shirt sale and advertisements alone. With a new challenge set before him, along with a new club, I think he'll honor the commitment he has made.
Ronaldinho doesn't really fit into any of those other Milan "flop" categories, so I suppose he will have to make a new one.

Now Gazzetta claim that Berlusconi himself went to Barcelona few minutes ago and he'll raise the offer to 22.5m eur. Initially they offered only 15m eur.
If this is true then maybe it could be done after all.

typical berlusconi
I actualy believe that Milan can get the best out of Ronaldinho again.
That's only if his ego doesn't stand in the way. I'm kinda afraid of him
Milan gets Ronaldinho and Juve get Poulsen (Y)
Can't wait to see them play against eachother. Although I was against the Poulsen transfer, he has my full support untill he proves me wrong

Milanisti may be hailing the arrival of Ronaldinho today, but Antonio Labbate thinks the Brazilian isn’t needed at San Siro
So Milan have finally got their man. Pending the outcome of a medical later today, which will be passed unless he breaks the scales, Ronaldinho will complete his move to the Rossoneri for around £16m. Yet it doesn’t make sense, it just doesn’t make sense.
How many times have we heard Vice-President Adriano Galliani plead poverty this summer after being scared off by the valuation of some of Europe’s top stars? So it is somewhat amusing that the same individual would fly off to Spain and spend the money he has on a player that the Italian giants seemingly have no need for.
The Brazilian represents the icing on the cake to Milan’s transfer campaign, but the problem is that the cake is crumbling. What real wisdom is there in adding Ronaldinho to a squad which already consists of Kaka, Alexandre Pato and Clarence Seedorf? Especially when the side is crying out for reinforcements elsewhere. Who’s putting together the outfit’s transfer strategy? Alessio Secco?
Even if we forget the club’s need for a new No 1 – Silvio Berlusconi has never spent big on a goalkeeper – it’s quite clear that the club should have invested in a fresh central defender and, especially, a centre-forward. Instead, boss Carlo Ancelotti will now have to design a side which is overflowing with attacking midfielders and second strikers, but no target man who can head a ball.
The reality is that Milan perhaps needed Ronaldinho two years ago when they first made their interest clear, not now. He could admittedly turn out to be the signing of the century if he can return to the player we all loved to watch in 2006, but back then he was a certainty and today he is a gamble. A massive one at that.
That’s why this move stinks of a Berlusconi PR exercise. He’s primarily bought Ronaldinho for himself and for the fans, not for the Coach. After all, it is no coincidence that the deal with Barca was completed less than 24 hours before Milan meet up for pre-season training. Expect Berlusconi to fly into Milanello later today to take the plaudits for a transfer which the club insist is a coup, but one which in the long run may turn out to be a costly error.

And why would that be ? Really, who earned the right to laugh at us and for what ?
I could understand the idiots when they were gloating at our serie B misery. They couldn't beat us, they were jealous and they were rude enough to even take the credits for our victories (Inter). Yes, they were happy back then.
But why would they laugh at us now? Because we came out of nowhere and in no time we were back to CL ?
Who laughs at us ? Milan because they signed Ronaldinho ? The CL winners Milan who'll play UEFA Cup while the serie B team plays CL.
Inter and Roma laugh at us ? Why, because we've shown them that they're not better than us ? Because we've beaten the hell out of Milan, Inter and Roma and we've shown them that we are still better than their millions ?
The "transfer gurus" were laughing at us when we signed Sissoko, because, you know, we didn't need a DMC when we already had Zanetti and Nocerino. Now again they are laughing at us for what exactly ?
You know why they're laughing ? Because goal.com, channel4 and calciomercato are full with Juventini doing nothing else but moaning, swearing at Secco and screaming how we're doomed. Because the Juve fans are nothing like the Juve players. Juve fans are showing a losers attitude ever since we went back from serie B.
Let the summer be their laughing time. We'll be the ones laughing in May.
