ALL Ronaldo's future/comments/speculation
- Thread starter Tabasco Sauce
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?

Deutschland, Deutschland uber alles.
Am I the only one who actually wants Ronaldo to win the Euro?
No, I want that to happen too. Then, if he really does want to leave, it will hike his price up even further. Would be making the best of a bad situation.
I believe the club stated that that claim was utter bollocks, as it were?
I (and probably may others here) would... it's just that an early exit seems to be our best chance of putting an end to all this transfer bollox, which is sad really.
Well they're hardly going to come out and confirm it, are they?
I still think he is going to delay his "decision" again if Portugal go out tonight. It seems like he's waiting for 1: United to tell him that he can leave or 2: that he's getting a improved contract.
all this transfer bollocks wont end even if he stays with us....every time the transfer window opens or whenever he plays for Portugal, its likely to come up again and again.
I think you could be right here mate.
I reckon the Glazers would love to cash in.
Just shows that papers are full of bullshit.
He hasn't said that he's leaving. He's just said two things, in my mind:
1. He's staying (numerous times)
2. He'll announce his future after the Euros (which could very well be exactly how long a new contract with united is for)
We, the fans, and the journos, the muppets, know nothing. Absolutely nothing. Now leave him alone.
He's staying.
So do I - on the fortune they'll earn from him in the coming years.
No!!! That can't happen!! This thread is then going to die! We need it to get past 10000!!!!
Hurry up and post, guys!
How would they manage that then? United don;t own his image rights. Unless we're talking sponsors. But no player is bigger than United. We're a huge draw, regardless.
wait... hang on a moment!
In the middle of all this there was a rumour about Fergie leaving over this??
Jesus fecking Christ!

Yeah, if Ronaldo goes without his say so. Probably a counter rumour to the dirty dagos going direct to the gimps with an offer.
I wonder why a club such as Barca isn't coming in and offering something like £20m for Ronaldo? I reckon Fergie will happily offload him to anyone who isn't Real Madrid right now. Maybe even Liverpool could try their luck...
Fergie wouldn't sell them a shit defender like Heinze. He would hardly consider selling Ronaldo to them.
Lie down in a darkened room until these feelings have passed.
It's pretty obvious Ronaldo generates revenue that reaches more widely than his image rights.
The Glazers have made their stance clear, he is not for sale.
We will lose a shit load of money in merchandise if we sell him. As Real say themselves, the most expensive players are the cheapest one. They know they'll make huge money by buying Ronaldo. No way should we sell him for anything under 125m.
Das gut
I'd want him to win it to rise his price but now that scolari is chelsea's manager, I don't want them to win feck all. Plus, if portugal go out sooner, the ronaldo news will come to us sooner about him leaving or staying.
.........plus Robben, Schneider and Ramos
I can see him taking a three week vacation and then coming out and speaking.
I recall madrid saying that he is worth over 500 million to them.

Of course he's for sale if the price is right. We have a huge debt to pay off. The Gimps aren't going to stick him in the stands and watch his value fall .
We have owners who know the price of everything and the value of nothing . Be afraid
whatever we get for Ronaldo wont put a huge dent on that debt....so I dont think the money we get for him is the motivation....the key is to have a succesful team...which is Fergie's goal.
And A1dan's speedboat. We've made it very clear, if there ain't no boat then the deal won't float.
That was the rumour - they were supposed to be preparing an uber-deal for him with a big time range of CR7 products. That's his new signature and his trademark, so he's been doing some marketing of it already (he had a CR7 hat on the other day when he was being interviewed).
Nike wants to turn it into a mega-brand like they did with US basketballer Michael Jordan in the 1990s, with their Air Jordan shoes and their TMed Jordan 23 logo.
Dildo-face knows he's gone so far that he will HAVE to sign Ronaldo or he will have to resign. He's trying to dial it back a notch to save his own power base.
Thought Becks was always Adidas
Yes, he was. This actually was a problem when he was playing for United, as United and Umbro/Nike had the rights to marketing his image in United kits, but Adidas had the rights to marketing his image alone.
Since his switch to Real, the marketing campaign has skyrocketed internationally because he was at an adidas club so he was exclusively wearing adidas products at all times.
Wow.....just...wow.
That's stepping over the line. Surely FIFA can't ignore that. They aren't just praising a player anymore, they are publicly asking him to make a move happen, while admitting they haven't even talked to his club yet.
Good luck with that.
I'll go in on that bet as well.
Viva Ronaldo!
They wouldn't. He's worth a lot more to the club than any transfer fee with his imaging rights (which we currently largely control and is part of his negotiations with the club - he signed them away when he was a bit-part teenager).
They want him for marketing reasons. We want him for footballing reasons.
If he wants to be a product, Real is the place to go.
If he wants to be a footballer, United is the place to stay.
I'm pretty confident all of this is overexaggerated bullshit spurred on by both his negotiations for image rights and a pay raise as well as his gigantic ego, and he will stay a footballer.
Viva Ronaldo!
Where will Ronaldo start next season?
Manchester United 1/3
Real Madrid 9/4
Barcelona, Inter 33/1
With Skybet
Hills were offering 1/1 United, 4/6 Madrid yesterday.

Well Sneijder definately. I'd rather take Cassilas and Raul instead of the other 2.
Barring retirement, Raul will never leave Madrid, and Madrid will never get rid of him.
A bit of a difference for Ronaldo to start at Madrid... Hills 4/6 and Skybet 9/4. One of them knows something that the other doesn't.....
feck them though, if they are making us lose Ronaldo, we may as well kick them in the bollox. If we demand Raul as part of the deal they may not be so keen to sign Ronnie.
If only it was that easy!
That is just total nonsense and completely stupid.
Odds are based on betting patterns and on the same media bullshit we are hyperventilating and drama queening about.
They have no inside information. They aren't flies on the wall in Ramon Calderon's bedroom watching Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy spit-roasting Carmen Electra.
No way Carmen would let Horse Face up on her!
Real have hit a new low, asking the player publicly to move, whilst under contract with us. How can FIFA ignore this? The new quotes even admits they have not spoken to us yet! One funny thing about the new story is that they would only sign Ronaldo if he was 'affordable' when they previously were going on about money being no object and how they had the finances to support the move
I agree with most of that. There is no way they have some kind of inside information which helps dictate the odds, but where the hell did the highlighted part come from
