This has nothing whatsoever to do with Ronaldo.
But it is a very funny gif. One of Top's finest.
I hadn't seen that before.

Ronaldo's Brother Tips Madrid Move
Speaking to the Spanish media, Cristiano Ronaldo's siblings, Hugo and Elma Santos Aveiro, confirmed that it was CR7's dream to move to Real Madrid...
The pair, however, stated that although his goal is to "play with Real Madrid" next season, his future will not be settled until after the European Championships.
Hugo told laSexta, "Between now and next year or the year after he will go to Real Madrid. Personally, I would like that. I'd like it very much."
Elma, meanwhile, was slightly more cautious, although she did state that this was Ronaldo's dream since he was a small boy.
"He won't decide anything until after the Euros," she said.
Ronaldo has been involved in a tug-of-war between Manchester United and Real Madrid for some weeks now.

"I stay". "I make decision in 2-3 weeks". Which part of "I stay" is he having a problem with?
guys! i just phoned ronnie whilst out walking the bitch. In the muffle of her yapping i managed to make out
make of that what you will, but it sounds like fish supper all round for me.

He's said he's staying before though hasn't he?
He might feel why he should come out and say it again? Especially right now when I'm sure he's not arsed - he's playing for his country in a tournament where they are one of the teams tipped to win.
He's a foreigner and so no doubt he would love to play for Real Madrid - how many players wouldn't. Plus he's probably loving all the hype about him - heh I'd be buzzing if Real wanted me this bad - the hype and speculation will always be there no matter what he or anyone says.
At the end of the day the ball is in our court so to speak as he's signed on a lengthy contract. Ferguson will not let him leave just yet.

Same tactic. Real Madrid interviews of one of Kaka's relatives in a bid to sign him.
The G14 should meet and agree to not do any trade business with Real Madrid.
That'd teach the cnuts.

He's slowly pushing me to the brink.
To repeat - he didn't say he was making 'a decision' - he hoped to have something to say.
drama queens ere....enormous queens...
I posted it twice because I enjoyed it once if that makes any sense (actually I do not know why it is there 2 times, my mistake), and he said he was staying in Moscow because that is where the Hotel was where he was staying while he was being interviewed, as an example I am today staying in Hamburg..
I think Ron's having a problem lying. I think he said what he felt before he went off to the Euros - that he'd be staying at United.
And I think the combination of getting a way better offer than he expected from Real Madrid (not just a pay rise but an image rights deal that is, allegedly, nothing like the deals that Madrid have designed before) and the pressure from family, dreams, the media and some warning that said: "It's a one time offer," has left him with a problem. And he's trying to handle it as best he can while still delivering what he needs to on the field.
If he turns them down flat - he risks that "one time" thing being real.
If he accepts their offer and tries to pressurise United, then in the process he'll alienate (even further) press, fans, club and leave a lot of bad feelings.
If he gets United to reject the offer then there may be less risk on the "one time" thing (Calderon/Madrid not losing face over it) and he may at some point, to be agreed, be able to walk away from United with fewer hard feelings.
It is a decision, and needs movement on United's side (an improved contract maybe, and certainly - because he takes such stuff to heart - reassurance that his bosses don't consider him so unprofessional that he'd ever choose to deliver anything less than his best, and therefore comments about "stay on the bench" or "rot in the reserves" were just paper talk)
I don't think he's playing. I think he's trying to handle a set of incompatible desires and do it without ruining Portugal's (and his) tournament.
SAF said a couple of weeks back something about how only the manager can be patient because fans and press aren't. I think we're seeing a mini version of it here. We want Ron to take a potentially life (or at least career) changing decision NOW because we want to get on with our lives. When actually the person most affected by any decision is Ron himself.
And I will now step off my soapbox and watch the second half of the Germany match.

To say about what!? His hair?
You got it.
How about Ronaldo simply saying:
I love Manchester, but if United grant me my wish, get paid what they ask for we are all happy. If they do not agree, I carry on playing for the team I also love.

Marry me jo?
Most of the above is spot on and well balanced. One thing though, even if Ronaldo turns down Real outrightly, they may still come back for him with an even better offer sometime in the future provided that he keeps performing the business on the pitch. In football there's no such thing as closing doors for good especially when you are dealing with prospective employers.
Why would he have something to say in public K?
He is contracted to play for United. If any negotiating is to be done it should be behind closed doors.
Absolutely correct and it's seems so easy to be said.
He's clearly being advised by his agent.
A decent post buried within a mountain of bullshit.
Can you blame him, Agents typically get between a sum equal to 5%-10% of a transfer fee in a bonus when their player joins a new club (For the big teams anyway i.e. Premiership teams and ther foregin equivelants)
I'm sure Real have offered a more attractive % to Ronaldo's agent and I could see Real paying him anything up to 15 million if they get their man
I'd sell my mum to Real if I was going to get 15 million
A player being advised by his agent is "not normal"?
There has been talk that it would actually be in the agents best interests for Ronaldo to stay here. Real Madrid take over all of their players image rights etc so he would lose money there and most probably his job in the future. Its happened in the past supposedly.
Ronnie's going I think (he will regret it)
Whatever, Manchester United will go on. I can't feel sad or annoyed about this transfer, despite what a fine player he is

He was respomding to a direct question about his future - he said he hoped to have something to say in 2 weeks / 2-3 days (which, given the timing of the quotes would have been about the same target.)
It's very normal, and Ronaldo is responsible for his agents actions.
Some on here are still burying their heads in the sand, and blame Real for all the problems - Ronaldo has not been a saint in this fiasco.
Thats interesting but any Agent worth his sort would not accept a deal like and that would just tell Real well to go
The agents always the one in control and he wont broker a move unless it's in his benefit
Agents though are sneaky gits so I wouldn't be at all suprised if he is just trying to get a massive contract for Ronaldo and a more lucrative deal for himself
Anyone who thinks Ronaldo isn't seriously considering a move to Real Madrid is burying their heads in the sand, yes.
Similarly, anyone who thinks we don't have a very good chance of holding onto him, who thinks that he is somehow a traitor for even considering a move abroad, or who thinks that we should sell him regardless is just being silly.
IMHO.
The only problem with this possible scenario is that we have no actual evidence that Real have made any concrete offer - nor that it is in any sense a 'one off' (that idea seems to come from a Scolari quote on a different subject) - nor that Ronaldo is very tempted to move now.
About the only direct evidence is that Ron was expecting something to have happened which would have reflected upon his future. I'm hoping this was the CR7 deal between Utd, Ronaldo & Nike - though it might also be some other sort of contract tweak. I would be really surprised if he contemplated agreeing to or inviting a move just prior to his country's major tournament - with all the disruption that would cause.
I do think he'd be pissed off at the way the 'sit a player in the stands' remarks were spun though.
Pogue, does it not bother you that our best player is seriously considering leaving?
