his mum says he is staying and if she's anything like mine i wouldn't argue
You have trouble following my posts.
I said sentiment is the domain of the fan - presumably you realise that includes you. Presumably also you can grasp the idea that I put forward about football generally being a greedy business dominated by money and that it is not too far fetched to think that Ronaldo not being a Manc or even and Englishman might suggest the sentiment on his side where United is concerned might not be as strong as some fans might like it to be? He's on 120k a week, he's said he's always wanted to play for Madrid. What's he doing that's so shocking as far as you are concerned? Do you think this idea that he owes United carries any weight? Really? Do you think 99% of clubs wouldn't sell any of their players if the money was right?
I hope so. But she also said this a while back:
"If Ronaldo leaves United for Real Madrid I can die happy", says his influential mum
"They are my favourite team, the best in the world,"
Wearing a united cap. Thats old.
She said on TV that he's staying yesterday. On TV, not brazillian newspaper by a journalist from Madrid.
Stays or goes he is a cnut for making mockery out United by continually wanting to lick calderon's balls at Madrid
Is there a reason this thread is not in the Transfer Forum?
is that pic on the paper not a photoshop job
What amazes me is that the BBC are still running with this Terra non story.Then again maybe not they are loving this.
How exactly is he making a mockery of us??
It's a weird one alright.
Both this and the massive Ramsey thread (i.e. the two threads about the players most likely to actually join/leave this transfer window) are both in this forum.
No idea why.

The thing is mate, very few footballers love the clubs they play for. Gary Neville is probably the only first team player at United who truly truly loves the club. Sure there's always Scholes and Giggsys. But the point I am making is that, players care less for emotions.

United warned over FIFA action.

Top sports lawyer Mel Goldberg has warned Manchester United that reporting Real Madrid to FIFA over their pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo would have little effect.
Goldberg believes United would have a good case if they did decide to take their case to world football's governing body.
But he has forecast that, even if the Spanish giants were found guilty of breaking the rules, any punishment would be minimal.
Goldberg, of Mel Goldberg and Co, said: "If Real Madrid are reported to FIFA, they will probably get a rap on the knuckles.
"I don't know whether they would be expelled from, for example, the European Cup or whether they would be deducted points in the league.
"What FIFA would probably say is you cannot keep a player against his will if he is not happy and wants to go elsewhere.
"They would give some minor castigation and the deal would go through."
U figure it out.
how long can Fergie and United tolerate this kind of nonsense from ronaldo and madrid????
One minute he claims he wants to stay here for many years, the next he admits a madrid move is tempting. After our CL triumph he makes it clear he wants to stay, now he's thinking....hang on Madrid...I quite fancy that. On top of that, if he supposedely treated Sir Alex, a man that has brought where he is today, by banning him from the Portugese training camp, is disrespect of the highest grade.
That my friend, is making a mockery of our club.
Well, lets wait and see...Wearing a united cap. Thats old.

And how do you know that any of that is true?
The only thing that is 100% true is that he said he wants to stay. The rest of it has come from 'sources' or a Brazilian website ffs.
Fergie will have spoken to Ronaldo over the phone, don't worry about that.
He might be an allegedly self proclaimed top sports lawyer, he may also be just an ABU who's trying to pre-empt who is going to happen if we do complain! A minimal punishment might or might not be the result, there is no point for him to publicize his opinion at this point, except that it's meant to discourage United in the battle with Real, and Ronaldo! Disgusting!

They do not have to love a club to respect it, or behave with some dignity so as to reflect well on themselves even.
As long as it takes really. It's a massive decision and he has the small matter of getting his head straight for the Euros. He has obviously been advised to keep his cards close to his chest and focus on the tournament at hand. Even if he has made his mind up, one way or another, it won't help his negotiations with either club to put his cards on the table just yet
All of which is a massive pain in the arse for us fans but I don't think any of us would have played it any differently in the same boat. Huge sums of money involved and he is also making a very difficult decision, emotionally. I have absolutely no doubt he has an extremely strong connection with United and everyone at the club. It also sounds as though a move to Real is his boyhood dream. He's caught between a rock and a hard place, not the sort of thing you can decide in a hurry.

Why the hell does everyone here think that Fergie won't have been in contact with Ronaldo during these past few weeks?

Let's focus on Anderson and other new comers who may take the club forward. Leave Ronaldo alone. Knowing his arrogance I am 80% certain he won't leave because this is the chance for him to get yet another medal in Japan in December which may not be much and is almost always a given. But it is something you only get a shot at after winning Champions League. He may never win one if he leaves us.
He will definitely leave in 2 years because after Fergie is gone, him staying doesn't make sense for him unless Carlos takes over and persuades him. But whatever he is doing is wrong. He should speak freely and finish the matter. Either speak or don't. Don't play games in the media. If he wants more money, he should speak, but not threaten indirectly.
