How is that a bad thing
I guess thats what this thread is lacking.
Who said anything about being bad?
It's what makes that thread better
If that's your interpretation, how would you explain the following: (a dream. a big step forward... a great opportunity... all these he was just referring to more money??) You are so naive you really make me laugh!
Go on, read between the lines, and defend him more!!! If what he said in the interview doesn't make your blood boil, I dont know what more he can say to show more disrespect to our Club! Fine, he doesn't want to stay, but how arrogant of him to belittle United!
***********
Guillem: Do you feel what you are about to decide is a step forward in your career, a dream?
Ronaldo: It is a dream, a step forward, you can call it what you want. For me it is a great opportunity, and as Scolari says, that train passes by only once, and we have to take advantage of it
Exactly. Not even Messi can do that. We have seen that Ronaldo can score even with his dick ffs.
We are not only losing a marvellous player we also may lose the marketing player of the moment, not messi not Kaka.
We haven't yet
Silva and Schweinsteiger top my wish list. They are not direct replacements, but they can take that left/right wing position and do a job. The former would provide creativity as well as skill, while the latter is more direct.
What a complete and utter tart (if it's true).
If he leaves for £40+m and we can replace him with 2 or 3 world class players I don't think we'll be much worse off. We'll have to change the way we play of course, but we'll still be there or thereabouts.

Is that an over or an underestimation. That attention-seeking sole green smilie doesn't really make it clear.
I do not want to see Ronaldo go. I mean, I have not been excited about a young talent since Giggsie burst into scene and I have to admit that Ronaldo is a bigger talent that Giggs was. I cannot bear the prospect of watching such talent go, expecially now when our team had reached such high levels. In my opinion losing Ronaldo is equivalent of losing the CL final and its hitting me hard.
There again if the player wants to leave then we cannot keep him. Yes many of you would say that he has a contract with us but a 5 year contract for a 23 yr old are nothing. He would be free to go at 28 and no one, not even Manchester United can afford of having an unhappy player in their team who would unsettle the side.
In my opinion we should do our best in keeping him. 40 - 70m are a lot of money but there is no winger half as good as Ronaldo at the moment and we would end up spending top dollar on some half decent winger. There again if he truly wants to leave then he should leave. But pls dont come out with this BS that we shouldnt be angry with him because of it. FFS Kaka had always kept Real at an arms length even though AC Milan had ended up in the UEFA cup. Refusing Real is possible but only by players who truly love the club they play in.

IF the interview is true, i want him out.
the audacity to say this:
Guillem: You know that when you return to Manchester people will be upset with you
Ronaldo: But that will pass, a couple of good goals and people will be happy
united is more than just he goals mate. this isn't spain. you should've learned this being here for 5 years.
ideally we'd sell him to barca cut price, but to be honest, he wouldn't look right in a barca shirt. the cnut of a madrid top suits him best.

true. dev, maybe you can shed some light mate, but how did zidane act in the summer of 01 when madrid made their interest known/when he transferred to madrid? I don't remember summer after summer sagas between real, juve, and zidane not do i remember cnutish statements from zizou.
you seem to have a much deeper understanding of serie a happenings than most on here.
Take the money and buy Kaka. We will be better for it.
I'm not entirely convinced of this players plus cash trade in for Ronaldo, but I remembered the Zidane transfer saga to Real Madrid and it made me think for a little.
When Juventus sold a 28 year old Zidane seven years ago, they used the transfer money to they received to fill the gap in their team by signing Buffon, Thuram, Nedved and Salas. Now that's a world class superstar for every position in their team! Not to mention the Ronaldo right now is FIVE years younger than Zidane when he moved to them!
Now the question is, if we were to do something of a similar scale (And not exactly the same since I doubt we need a defender or a goalkeeper) can real really put their money where their mouth is and pay us the ridiculous amount of money necessary to make such signings? And more importantly can we really suck them dry or are we going to settle for peanuts like we always do when it comes to selling our players?
God how frustrating this situation must be for Fergie!!!

That's the difference when you commit yourself to the club and when you dont.
Me as you said can think of retaining a player that wants out but at least we can try to keep him one more season and plan on how to build the side without him and to build a life plan without Ronaldo, you cant do that in one or two months and im pretty sure Fergie and Co. wasnt planning for this so i can see us having him at least for one more season. Also i think if we sell after that we can put a price of 100 m no less or feck off.
If he goes, I'd rather we just get the best price, and then he flops.
He's not the most creative passer in the world and he plays in a particular way for both club and country. Either he or Real would need to adapt their style and that's going to be a hit and miss process. Hopefully a miss.

What If Fergie's Upset?
He also suggested that he would speak his mind, even if Alex Ferguson was upset with it, making it that much clearer what was on his mind.
"It is my opinion, that is why I don’t mind if people get upset. It is my decision. It is what I want," he said, when asked about his manager.
"It [leaving] is always difficult. It is not only one person deciding, it is many people, but it can be a very good thing for everybody."
As to when he took this 'yet mysterious' decision, he said: "Some time ago, before the Champions League final."
From Goal.com, it would take alot to change his mind imo

What a set of cnuts over here: upset that he would leave. These are Ron lovers; not United lovers. Let the arse feck off. We can buy players who are more committed to the club.
NOBODY IS BIGGER THAN THE CLUB

i want him out,
but we don't live in the ideal world.
He will stay for another season. there is no way we can properly plan and execute transfers within a month or two of the magnitude required to compensate for ronaldo leaving.

Zidane's approach was even more outrageous that Ronaldo's. It happened during the Fifa best player of the year event. A small paper was delivered to Zidane asking him whether he is ready to leave Juventus for Real and to do a signal with his head if it was a yes. Zidane signalled yes and the negotiations started with Zidane rattling the right chains when needed.
This story leaked during negotiations but Juventus preferred not to take action since 45m for a nearly 30 yr old was a great sum.
It's not what I believe, simply another explanation. Until he actually makes a statement, this is still a load of shit. People on this board are saying he is leaving as if it is fact. It's not. He hasn't said it. When he does, I'll move on from there. As of now, nothing's changed.
This "with the money we get for him we can buy 2 or 3 world class players, which is just as good" argument ignores the fact that on the pitch Ronaldo can only be replaced by one player at a time because of the limit of 11 players. We won't be as good without him as we would be with him. So he must stay for a while longer.
Oh didn't see this interview. Is this for real though? Guillem Balague is a genuine transfer muppet. IF this is true, Ronaldo's an ungrateful twat.
If he wants to leave then we should let him leave now. I mean the more time he passes in the club, the more his price will be going down. Honestly Id love to see his influence over Anderson and Nani to be under check. Both players have great talent and may end up being targeted next.
that's so dissapointing and underhanded. glad i know this now instead of back then when i was much more naive and younger. it would've sullied my view on zidane.
but yes, 45 million for his age was very good business for juve.
Did you just make this up? This sounds outrageous, even judging by the twat's low cuntness standards.
Oh shut up. True Manchester United will stick to their club through thick and thin but don't expect us not to be upset if a great player leaves.
I find this hard to believe.
can we get him out and still have the time to do the legwork required for getting in replacements (who invariably will be some of the top players in their respective teams so it won't be easy).
that's why i think fergie will ony let him go next summer.
Devilish, he must be a true red though, he wrote in bold letters
The deal didn't hurt Juventus. Zidane was becoming inconsistent in the Serie A + Juventus wanted to spend big to get Buffon, Inzaghi and Nedved. Things are much different now.
It was all over the Italian media and I believe that even Zidane ended up confirming it.
There again Real are shrewd enough not to leave proof of what they did. A player may have been quoted wrongly etc. After all there is little proof that they tried to tap Ronaldo either
The 2 or 3 players would be to help change our current style of play which would obviously no longer work as effectively. Existing first teamers would have to be dropped or rotated to make it work. A new centre-forward would be a must for example - whereas Ronaldo cuts in from out wide to cause problems in the box, without him we'd need need somebody to hold the ball up to help our other attacking players have the room to express themselves in a different way.
Honestly I don't know mate. I have yet to come to terms to the fact that Ronaldo may end up leaving. In my opinion we should not keep a player who is unhappy. It will only disrupt the side. There again if SAF wants him to stay at OT then so be it.
I believe that a good compromise is to ask for a fee + one or two players that may be able to limit the negative impact of such departure. There is no point in trying to break the record fee since much of it will be in installments.
Does anyone else feel sick after reading The Sun's style of journalism?
I agree, and it would be a big ask to have the new players and new playing style in place by the beginning of the season. We need to hold on to him for another year.
So what's the ronometer saying these days??
If it's true, let him go, but I don't often agree with Neil Custis, but he's hit it on the head as far as I'm concerned.
