Not many people know Michael Rankine well. However, FootballCynic can tell you that he is apparently worth 1/8000th of a Cristiano Ronaldo. Michael moved from Rushden & Diamonds to York City this week for £10,000. It didn't warrant the four pages allocated by most newspaper editors and probably didn't require any discussion between Michael's agent and the owners of York City about Michael's image rights. Michael is probably infinitely more interesting and can probably tell you an interesting tale or two about life at Barrow, Bournemouth, Alfreton Town, Scunthorpe United or Rushden & Diamonds - a fine collection of clubs. Like his fellow transferee, the Doncaster-born Rankine is heading closer to home. And that's about where the similarities end. FootballCynic will be following Michael's fortunes next season knowing that he won't be diving for penalties or winking to cameras.
