Id rather see us get 20m + 2 players (Robinho and Sneijder). The last thing I would like to see is other clubs asking ridiculous amounts of money for their players.
would prefer Casillas & Ramos please

Because he grew up in Portugal, watching Real, not Manchester United. His reason for wanting to go, if true, seems obvious. Also, his family would be close by. Plus, not sure if you're familiar with the weather in both countries, but Spain has a bit of an advantage. I wouldn't expect any player from a sunny country to stay in England too long. If they do, it's rare. Fabragas will be on his way at some point as well, everyone expects it.
You would like a United player on the field who didn't want to be there?

To be honest, I hope this is what happens. Bench him for 6 months and feck his mind and his form. Then sell the cnut for 50 million to some Italian team next summer cos we want to.
Feel 0% love for this slimeball cnut now. Nor do I care much for his contribution to my team.
Ok so he should forget the people and club who made him what he is because he wants to go and get a suntan?
I really do not understand why Ronaldo would rather be in a circus than a football team that are European Champions and Champions of England.
However if he is to be sold then replacements should be bought first otherwise they will become more expensive when teams know how much we have after a sale.
Funny thing... if he stays and spends another couple of season winning us trophiesm, we're going to have a load of people "apologising" for having turned against him... for the second time!
I believe it is an important message to send, and it's one athletes here seem to understand. If you sign a contract, expect to see it out. It seems in Europe contracts have become a joke. What's the point of signing a contract if a player can just leave a few months later? It's fecking absurd.
It is also very dangerous for a club of United's size to allow a player to demand a move. If he asks for the move, he should suffer in the reserves for a while.
United will be fine without him. Other players will step up to fill the void (Rudd anyone?), I am far from concerned.
Chapter two gets underway. Exciting days.
"But Ferguson has backed chief executive David Gill's immovable stance over Ronaldo's contract and future. United's manager is fuming with Real's arrogance, saying: 'They ride roughshod over everyone but they won't do it with us.' "
Sorry, SAF, but they will, cos Ronnie wants to go.
No, wont happen. I made a big mistake in thinking that he had United at his core, that this was the season that he converted even his most ardent critics who were never sure of his loyalties.
I dont support United cos we win trophies. Never have done and know the great days when we were just an aspiring side pre SAF. Thats the problem with alot of our support - you're all post SAF glory hunters.
Ronaldo really can go feck himself. And if thats the case and we stop winning trophies a few years, so be it (it wont happen anyway, SAF will create some magic somehow, he always does).
I just dont want this cnut at my club any more. He fecks around the man who I love most at Untied, SAF deserves better. Just like Beckham, he will fly too close to the sun and his wings will be clipped and like Icarus, will end his career with etrenal regret talking about his 'good old days' at United.
Well its amuses me when I hear Beckham whine, and it will amuse me when this cnut fecks his career at Madrid and pines for glory days at OT.
Totally agree on these two points. I have no doubt is SAFs ability to manage this situation. He will juggle the sytem, intro 2 new starlets and we will carry on challanging for trophies, no doubt. And even if we did not, thats fine by me too.
What is not fine by me is pandering to the fancies of disloyal coniving cnuts like Ronaldo. I'm sickened by the Ronaldo cock suckers on this forum! When he leaves, Im hoping they leave with him to the Madrid website so they can carry on thier dalliances there.
But we must sell him cos we want to... and to teach him a hard lesson, feck his career a little. I would support that very strongly.
would prefer Casillas & Ramos please
Yes, that was a big mistake. He has always said that he wants to move to Spain one day. I have no doubt that, in his own way, he loves Man Utd. But it's more his team-mates and the personnel at the club he loves, the club itself not-so-much.No, wont happen.

""It is my opinion," Ronaldo added. "That is why I don't mind if people get upset. It is my decision. It is what I want." "

It would be exactly the same as if you were a professional footballer playing for a team like Real, Barca, Milan, Bayern, etc. You'd be happy and enjoying yourself, and you'd always have a place in your heart for that team. But in the back of your mind you'd always have the thought that you'd want to play in England at some point (exactly as Hargreaves did). Then Man Utd make a move for you, what would you do? Personally, I'd do very similar to what Ronaldo has done. Make it obvious you'd be happy to join them, but you'd also be happy to stay at your current club. And with a bit of give-and-take, there would come to be an understanding that you'd stay at the club for now, but will be allowed to join Man Utd in a season or two. Which is exactly what will happen here with Ronaldo.
Real have acted like absolute conniving bastards in this. But Ronaldo has done nothing that I wouldn't have expected. But because the media have also been so sneaky and whipped up hysteria, everyone turns against him.

Whats wrong with you lot? If he wants to go, let him fecking go.
He has a right. He says he had already been thinking about it for months and decided before the CL.
United are adamand he is not for sale. He has 4 years left on a contract. He signed the contract. feck him if he wants to go. Keep him for two years and then sell him. His market value will probably still be the same. And if not, it means that he will have gone shite and Madrid probably won't want him then anyway.
So that's the way I'd look at it. Keep the fecker for 2 years and then sell him. There is no hope in football unless a player is at least willing to try to honour his contract.
In all seriousness, why contracts over one year, then? What is the point, exactly?
And what is his "right?"
Because he grew up in Portugal, watching Real, not Manchester United. His reason for wanting to go, if true, seems obvious. Also, his family would be close by. Plus, not sure if you're familiar with the weather in both countries, but Spain has a bit of an advantage. I wouldn't expect any player from a sunny country to stay in England too long.

Let's take £100m off Real, ask for it straight up, use that to pay off some of the debts, because I am so sure that SAF and Carlos will be able to find the next boy wonder, at a similar price they found for Ronaldo.
It would hurt United to let him go right now, without a shadow of a doubt, but looking at what he's supposed to have said and what he'd done at United, it's perhaps a little hard why he's saying this right now. He's obviously wants to play in Spain, I don't think that has ever been a debating point, it was always a matter of when. Since his arrival at United he's won every domestic cup, he's won the biggest cup in European club football, and virtually every individual honour around. I'm guessing that what lies ahead is money, and that's it. What challenges has he got? It's not like Real are a small club with plenty of ambitions and he wants to take them to some where special. That sort of thing doesn't happen these days.
On the other hand it would be nice to see the club take a stance on the contract, but I'm sure that should they, Ronaldo and his agents may well take it to first Uefa and then the European courts and use it as a test case or some sort. However, as with Bosman, whose career was ended by his court case in many respects, that sort of thing might see Ronaldo turn into a shadow of the player he is, and whilst my own feeling grow increasingly against him for what appears to be a betrayal of the club I love, it would be a loss to football as a sport, of the scale not seen since perhaps George Best left the sport too early.
United have lost great players in the past, through tragedy, through retirement and through transfers, yet we always come back. Selling Ronaldo will hurt, but we will still be United, we will still be champions of England and the champions of Europe..
went from 100m to 80m to 75 m to 60m to 50m and now its 45m+sneijder:S
madrid dont have the money do they ... sad bastards
I'd take it. Ronaldo is acting like a cnut and treating Sir Alex and the club in a way that is not acceptable

The Sun says Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes flew into Manchester yesterday and will tell United that Madrid are willing to offer £45million plus £20m-rated Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder in return for the Portuguese ace.
