No, it wasn't meant to sound like that, though on reflection it does sound like that. What it was suppose to sound like is that SAF has always found gems at good prices, Carlos seems to be able to do the same. We know we have a transfer budget for the summer, let's use that to buy the gem and if £100m is given, we've got to accept that the debt isn't getting any smaller, and as much as it pisses me off having the Glazer's at the club till the debt is clear we are on the verge of collapse at any time.

I want this club to be secure, this club to last well past my death and the life spans of nieces and nephews in the family, I'd hate to see it die due to the Glazers ego. However this is going away from the Ronaldo debate.. Let's get the replacement first and then milk the transfer fee as far as we can, and demand it all up front, that's something Madrid won't be able to do.

I think it would be on the base of 40 - 60m + a player

Id rather have 2 players and a lesser sum. FFS Real will take decades to cough up the entire sum.

If the Glazers cannot afford the club then they have a simple option ie sell it. Its already hard enough for fans to be taken for a ride and asked top dollar for anything they buy and endure the FIFA's insults that we cheated our way to success. The fee should end in SAF's hands. Now if he does not use it well and good but he should be given first option.

When in fact it's only the Glazers who'd have the balls to tell Real Madrid to feck off; Fartin Martin and Cuntic Ejaculation? You wouldn't see their arses for dust as they legged it to the bank if they were offered even thirty million

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. Yet amidst this uncertainty, he's played his heart out, scored goals, driven us to the double, and not just that we won the CL for only 3rd time in history. What more do you want from a guy who's always said from day 1 he wants to play in spain?

Think of it as a farewell present from him to us. He doesn't have united in his blood, what can you do? Do you think anderson, tevez or nani have united in their blood? FFS probably no. They are players, they do their best, they come and go. Not every foreigner is a cantona or solskjaer.

I wish Ronaldo well, and thanks for the memories. He will always be in united folklore. Without him, we'd have done nothing these couple of seasons. And by the way, Scolari's a cnut and I hope Ronaldo wins nothing just for listening to that idiot.

So for the last time:

He plays on the left,
He plays on the right,
That boy Ronaldo,
Makes england look shite.

Viva Ronaldo..
Viva Ronaldo..
Running down the wing,
Hear united sing,
Viva Ronaldo..

Shame...the viva ronaldo song was a fecking mint song...too bad it only lasted one season.

Ronaldo's cock is so far down you're throat, you'll be choking soon. Call an ambulance now while you have the chance.

As for your claim that "we'd have done nothing these couple of seasons", complete and utter crap! Yes, he scored goals, and in the process dried up goals for Rooney. Lest we forget, it was Saha's goals before xmas 2006 that won us the title that year, and a virtuoso set of 1-0 wins in sept/oct 20o7 that won us thye title this year. Oh, and this cnut missed his penalty vs Chavski and had to rely on United players to win him a CL medal.

Yes, Im being deliberatly one sided here to make a point. It was Ronaldo's honour and priviledge that SAF saw fit to build a side around him. But do not think for one moment that Ronaldo won us anything. FFS!

Why take players from a limited pool when we could take cash and buy anyone in teh world? there isn't really anyone at Madrid that i would want to see at united apart from maybe Ramos...Robinho is too loghtweight for the prem, Sneijder is good but hi performances in the Euros have been an exception not the norm and will have inflated his perceived value, it just feels kike we would be making do f we took a player plus cash deal, it would also be on Real's terms unless we took our pick from their squad (even then there isn't a great choice) rather than accepting whoever they may throw at us...

That'll tempt SAF and the Glazers without a doubt; 10% of his value to the brand plus some no-mark player we neither want nor need. Ooohh, let me see....
 
Has this already been posted? From the Guardian's Daniel Taylor today...

First of all a little story to tell you what kind of man we are talking about. It is January 9, 2008, and in an upstairs room at Manchester United's training ground five elderly men in smart blazers are struggling with their emotions in front of a hushed audience. It is the club's media day building up to the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster and Sir Bobby Charlton's polite smile does not hide the fact he is trembling as he takes his seat. Bill Foulkes is straight-backed and dignified but only a couple of questions have been asked before the tears appear in his eyes and he reaches for a glass of water.

In an adjacent room Wayne Rooney has agreed to offer a modern-day perspective of that seminal day when 23 people, including eight members of Sir Matt Busby's team, were killed in the wreckage of the burnt-out BEA Elizabethan. It is not his specialist subject but he handles the occasion with dignity and more eloquence than some people might imagine. But then Cristiano Ronaldo comes through the double doors and the mood is broken.
He is wearing a white suit jacket and ripped jeans, looking every bit the boy-band hunk, but it is very obvious he is in a bad mood. He begins by berating Karen Shotbolt, the club's press officer, because he is waiting for Rooney and the event has over-run. He is banging his watch with his hand, flapping his arms and gesturing in the way that Portuguese footballers usually reserve for fussy referees and, at first, he is so animated it appears as if it might be a wind-up.

When he flounces back through the doors, cursing loudly, it is very obvious he is being deadly serious. Rooney is professional enough to carry on with his tribute but the attention is no longer exclusively on him. Thirty seconds later Ronaldo appears again, first rapping his forefinger against the glass in the door, then opening it by a fraction and starting to whistle at Rooney in the way that a farmer beckons his sheepdog.

It was such an unpleasant scene the journalists decided not to write about it because we had been invited to the training ground to cover a far more important subject and, when you have sat with men as noble as Charlton, Foulkes, Albert Scanlon, Harry Gregg and Kenny Morgans and seen the hurt in their eyes, it felt incongruous to veer off-track. But coming away from Carrington that day it was difficult not to wonder what had become of the pimply teenager with the braces on his teeth who had been photographed, in his first few weeks as a United player, holding hands with his mother, Dolores, as they crossed a busy Manchester street.

The answer, of course, is that Ronaldo has fallen in love with his own reflection and, as United are currently finding out, that ego is in danger of spiralling out of control. Nor, sadly, is this story a one-off. One member of staff at Old Trafford reports being shocked by his rudeness when sorting out his travel arrangements for a club trip last season. And then there was last season's Football Writers' Association's annual dinner when, with barely any notice, its player of the year demanded that space was made for five of his friends to attend and that he would like them all to be on the top table with him. He got his way, as superstars often do, but the organisers were unimpressed, to say the least.

This is not to say that Ronaldo is all bad. He won a court case against the Sun earlier this week after it was reported that he had been fined for breaking club rules by using his phone during training: a story that was obvious baloney to anyone who has followed the player's career. Ronaldo, in many ways, is the consummate professional when it comes to improving himself on the pitch. He is not a man for nightclubs or raucous evenings out among the Manchester glitterati and there is something deeply impressive about the way he has come from his humble beginnings, growing up in Madeira in a house so small the washing machine was on the roof, to become the most penetrative attacking footballer in the world.

And yet United's more loyal and thoughtful supporters would by now be entitled to think it would be better for Sir Alex Ferguson and the Glazer family to end this shabby saga and let the previously unthinkable happen. To them, his constant prevaricating about his future, his flirting with the Spanish media and his apparent disregard for Manchester United, must smack of a man who has started to think he is bigger than the club.

His sound bites have become increasingly strategic, as if he thinks we cannot see what he is doing, yet nobody will have been surprised that the sweat had barely dried on his brow after Portugal's defeat by Germany on Thursday before he had re-iterated his desire to leave Old Trafford - just as Real Madrid had requested. United insist they will not allow themselves to be bullied into a corner but, when a player is acting like this and would so obviously be resentful and unsettled if he is denied the transfer he craves, the question should be: what is the point in keeping him?

Stories like this are bound to crop up now and opinion against Ronaldo will probably snowball. 'Tis a shame, cos I imagine like Becks before him he's just got a smidge carried away and lost the run of himself. Never mind.

There are many reasons

a) Real will never pay that sum in straight cash deal. They will pay it in instalments which will take us decades to take the entire sum. This solution will not give us the liquidity needed to limit the impact done by Ronaldo's departure

b) There are not many world class players around. Real's limit pool of players is made up of world class players, who would be gutted to be kicked out from the Bernabeu and which will make it hard to lure them back if Real wanted them again.

c) Once we sell Ronaldo then clubs will start asking top dollar for their players. We had been through this many a time, spending 12m on a striker who wouldn't stand on his feet for more then 10 minutes without getting injured. I dont want us to pass from that expecially since the EURO is the perfect excuse to ask more for your players.

If SAF thinks that Real has players that can do us fine then why not?
 
I do fear that what will actually happen is that he will go for an "undisclosed fee" which will be rumoured to be around £40million but which the cllub will probably only see perhaps £15milllion up front.

I also have a gut feeling that we will only buy the striker that we were always going to buy and rely on Hargo and Park to fill the wing position. This will lead to all us muppets ranting and sack Fergie sell Giggs-ing but next year we'll be blown away with two or three world class signings a la last year...

Got to agree, they'll offer a fortune and try to spread it out over a decade ffs !

2 players, plus less cash. But who would come? Some players who have been mentioned would never leave Madrid, I'm afraid they would show club loyalty and want to stay, ( Something, someone needs the learn about! )

Robinio has indicated he would come to us, but would Sneijder join us also?
(Sneijder has said he wants to stay at Madrid, but he must be getting pissed off himself being used as a pawn by the classless crunts)

Real are as efficient in kicking player's butts as they are in luring them to Spain. Now imagine if you are Sneijder and you had seen your arse being sacrificed to get Ronaldo. Would you consider returning to Real in few years time if they wanted you back? I wouldnt. We would have swapped a player who cant wait to wear the white shirt with one who will probably hate them for what they did to him.
 
You never know he might not want to go to madrid this maybe an effort on his part to get an improved contract. I know its unrealisitc but it's possible.
SCOLARI U MOTHERfeckER.

Anyway if he does go he won't go this year and when he goes we will need a striker and a winger.

Watching ronaldo develop over these years fergies made him play the percentages more. I have to say he is less exciting now to watch than when he first arrived but that was to the detriment of him and now the team does play better and he plays more of a team game.

I do believe his ability to beat a player has dwindled slightly and he doesn't keep the ball as much as he used to. However his game has improved immensly but all this is just my opinion.

The question is when we sold all the players in the past and they moved on none of them were as productive as ronaldo and I doubt he can be replaced, well withinin the next 3-5 years anyway.

If he goes hopefully we will sign kaka. He's the only replacement outthere but if ronaldo leaves next year and we do sign him he'll be 28ish and it will be a big risk.

Ribery could replace him but I think we would all like someone with a bit more pinache and guile ala messi, kaka. Also if ronaldo leaves, will that unsettle nani, anderson, will cq gomove on.

If ronaldo moves on, in 5-10 years he'll look back and regret it. As a neutral you say at the end of the day he has given his all to united and wants his dream move to madrid, as a united fan i say, feck him.

A sub-plot to the post I replied to was more of the same, tired old 'let's all have a go at the evil Glazers' crap. So I merely pointed out that previous regimes were equally as bad. The Edwards family and the Coolmore mafia (via their company Cubic Expression) were cynical exploiters of the club we love, and I am one of the very few people who regard the Glazers as no worse than they. I'm not saying I like them; they too are hard-headed businessmen, in it for what they can get. But at least they are good at what they do and have vision and balls.

That is all.

Forget of luring Kaka to OT. Real tried it and they failed. Bayern would probably sell Ribery to us but would demand outrageous sums of money. That is why if we can solve our problems by taking 1 - 2 players from the cnuts then we should do it.

If you read my posts you will rarely see anything said against the Glazers. Stating that they pushed us in this mess (the debts) and they will have to get us out with their own money and effort. If they can't then the solution for them is simply ie sell the club. I don't go buy a ferrari and kill my family with hunger just because I have to pay the bills.

Uefa rules state they'd have a maximum of 3 years to pay it all, we found that rule out over the Stam saga with Lazio, when they went into financial meltdown. Madrid would have to send Ronaldo back or we could take players off them if they sold him on themselves within that period.

I know that in the UK the fee has to be paid straight up, that's why for transfers between UK clubs you find the bonus clauses, such as we added to Rio's and Rooney's transfers.

I'm not sure we could demand it straight away, but we could demand a huge first payment of say £60 or higher and then 2 more smaller payments, which would cripple Madrid this year for sure. In fact let's protract this right until the last day of the transfer window, and see what happens when we give them the go ahead to sign him then.

We were going to bring in a new striker whether Ronaldo was leaving or not. Robinho would do well on the flanks while Sneijder is the best successor for Scholes.
 
I know a lot of us want Ronaldo to give a press conference as soon as possible and just get this all over with, but in this instance no news would be good news. The longer he puts off a definitive announcement, the more likely it is that he's going to stay.

Ronaldo wants 'dream' Real move

Ronaldo scored 42 goals for Man Utd last season
Cristiano Ronaldo says he hopes to "complete his dream" of moving to Real Madrid despite Manchester United insisting he is "not for sale".

The European champions said on Friday: "We are not listening to offers."

But the Portugal winger, 23, has signalled his intention to "take advantage of a great opportunity".

"Everybody knows what I want, but things don't only depend on me," he said. "I am not the person who decides. But I hope to complete my dream."

Ronaldo said he made up his mind before the Champions League final that he wanted to leave United for Real.

And he revealed that Luiz Felipe Scolari, about to take over at Chelsea after Portugal's exit from Euro 2008, advised him to make the move.

I don't mind if people get upset. It is my decision

Cristiano Ronaldo
"It is a dream, a step forward," Ronaldo replied when asked about the prospect of playing at the Bernabau.

"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."

Ronaldo indicated he will make a public statement about his plans over the next few days.

He said he had not spoken to Sir Alex Ferguson, who is on holiday in France, during his participation in Euro 2008.

And he insisted he is not worried about upsetting the United boss, who he is set to meet for talks about his future after Portugal's exit against Germany on Thursday.

"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."

606: DEBATE
What is Ronaldo on? Real Madrid is a step forward from Manchester United? In what universe are they a step forward?

anaconda6901
The midfielder was in scintillating form throughout the domestic season and scored 42 goals as United claimed a Premier League and Champions League double.

United have already reported Real Madrid to world governing body Fifa over their public courtship of Ronaldo, although the organisation decided to take no formal action.

Ronaldo's possible transfer fee has been put at between £50m and £80m.

"They (United) might make a stand for a period of time," agent Phil Smith told BBC Radio 5 Live. "But clearly you don't want to destroy the atmosphere at the football club."

Ronaldo revealed after Portugal's 3-2 defeat by Germany that he requires surgery on a foot injury which has been bothering him for three months.

"I'm going to have an operation now," said the winger.

"I have had a small problem for about three months. I'll have the operation and then have a good recovery period."

Robinho can play on the flank while Sneijder is the best successor for Scholes because unlike Anderson (who is a great talent mind) he can actually score goals. It would be a better option then selling a winger and bring in a midfielder as direct replacement.

I am not sure there is anything else he can say, he wants to go but its not up to him, United have said officially he is not for sale.
Therefore either:
1) We have had our annoncemen and he is not for sale and one way or another he will be at united next year, or
2) we just have to wait until united and Real reach an agreement

Like is said ROnaldo cannot really say anymore at teh moment...
 
I've read and heard his interview. I don't think any United fan can defend him. Let's sell him. . .and blow the cash on Messi. I don't want anyone at United who'd rather play for another club.
