Disgrace. No, not Ronaldo but 90 percent of the people in this thread.
How so Pimpy? For being upset with the way Ronaldo has conducted himself?
No. People in this thread are spot on, some of us from the beginning of this debacle

this pic is relevant to the thread and clearly reflects the whole saga
So we are getting Casillas, Ramos, Lulinha, Ben Arfa, Berbatov and Aguero for 80 quid. Good business!
Ron wants out
United won't sell.
Shit's hit the fan.
Only collateral damage so far.
It would be good business alright!!
I'd be wondering where we will end up playing all these players though, considering Ronaldo is only one player and has one place in the team?
A lot of people are saying sell Ronaldo, buy a winger and a striker and we will be just as good. Grand, a winger to replace Ronaldo. The striker? Ok we take out Tevez or Rooney? Unless the FA start allowing us to play 12 players then it is not as simple as Winger + Striker > Ronaldo.
apparently madrid are offering us 45m plus Sneijder
id prefer 80m plus Sneijder tho
The only thing he hasn't said is that he wants a transfer. Expect that this weekend. He spoke about his dream coming true and that he doesn't care who it upsets cos its all about him and what he wants.Has he officially said he wants to leave then? Like properly said 'I want to move to Madrid', not just tabloid rumours?
And when did this happen?
Cheers BR.
The fact that no player is as big as the club, is a double edged knife/sword/whatever.
Seeing kids wearing Zidane/Beckham/Ronaldo(Fat) Real shirts used to piss me off no end. Are these kids Real fans or are they Zidane/Beckham/Ronaldo(Fat) fans? The answer is the later, but Real cultivate nurseries of future fans by buying these players and attaching these young kids to the club for life. I was given a Notts County shirt as a young kid, and still have a soft spot for them.
At the moment Real have no one who impresses the kids with their skill (Robinho is very hit and miss). The thing is we've got this player, and all of a sudden kids are popping up all over the place in United shirts with Ronaldo 7 on the back. Real have noticed this, and want in on it. If we sell Ronaldo, they'll have won. If we keep Ronaldo, and play hard ball for a couple more years, it will make a huge difference to our future earnings. Then we can sell him on at the same inflated price as now.
I've given up praying for Ronaldo's well being, and have lost all respect for him as a person. But I hope we don't give in. This year we learnt to play against, and beat, the best in Europe on the field, I hope we learn to beat them off it as well.

This thread will beat the Teveth thread posts this weekend. And we're only on Chapter two...."How United Handled It"Guys we HAVE TO reach 10000 posts.
we should can this thread at 10000 and stick to factual posts only thereafter
Guys we HAVE TO reach 10000 posts.
The problem with that is due to the Webster ruling Ronaldo could buy-out the rest of his contract in two years time. So we'd end up with two years of his wages, circa £12m, compared to the £50m-£70m we could receive if we sold him this summer.
If you sold him next summer then the fee would reduce significantly as he'd then only be 1 year away from doing a ''Webster''.
Clearly the best solution for ourselves is to drive an extremely hard bargain with Madrid in order to secure as high a fee as possible.
The recent comments from United are obviously part of their bargaining strategy.
If you want facts only then I recommend ManUtd.com about a day or so after it happens.If you did it now, you'd have about 40 posts.

They've stopped all flights from Manc to Madrid then?I think they really mean he is not for sale though. We do not sell our star players, we are not a feeder club for Real Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo will leave for Madrid but will certainly be staying for atleast another season. I could be wrong and naive about all of this but it is too difficult for him to leave this summer.
IF that is true, that would be a fine offer. (also not breaking the record held by Zizou)
I think he's made it clear that he wants to go. Anyone thinking otherwise is deluded.
United have no option either to sell him or renegotiate his contract....to do neither is to allow Ronaldo to buy out the balance of his contract next year which would be a lot less than what we can get for him now from Real....I think Ronaldo has said he is leaving because he has not got a positive response from the Glazers about his request for a greatly improved contract.

Hope Ronaldo stays, but...
Manchester United < Cristiano Ronaldo
Let us NEVER forget this.
Nothing new. Except the beeb have accepted the Guillam interview and post game interview as fact.I haven't been up to date yet considering that I just woke up half an hour ago but basically it's still the transcript of the guillem interview or has ronaldo released someting new?
thanks.
he's wanted to go for a long time now but as Fergie has said sometimes you have to fight hard to keep your best players.
He's a cnut now. If he sounds like a cnut and acts like a cnut, he's a cnut, IMHOCan we all stop calling him a cnut until he actually leaves?

he'll be gone by the weekend and i dont want to even mention Ronaldo's name ever again, sorry.![]()
I wouldn't mind £45m and Sneijder to be honest.
