Show me a post where I have said he should leave immediately - check out my first post in this thread...I said he should stop talking in riddles.
You still haven't proved my alleged guilt of disrespecting non match going posters from page 10.
What's thisstuff about the Munich memorial and Ronaldo?
be careful fella.. you could end up suffering the 'wrath of the caf'
for such statements
Quite
Since he wants to go, let the fecker get out of our club, no point keeping a player whose heart is no longer with us.

Why should he?
He's being honest.
Even I would try selling Ronaldo if I was on a 10 Million commission, despite being a 'Top Red'. In fact I would happily sell him to Real if I was making considerably less.
He allegedly tapped his watched with his finger, and whistled to Rooney.
I'm going to brainwash Ronaldo.

Wonder if Nani has any dreams of playing for Madrid,it would probably be him in a few years time.
Sell Ronnie, sign Arshavin
Yeah, that's probably spot on.
And I think I was pretty much spot on with that post Sults posted. Funny how gut feelings can be right.
Get your coat Jason
i was being facetious sultan... (did you notice the winker?)
chill fella this is so not like you man
its ok for anyone to make money out of the club except that fecking ronaldo
Got an article?
can't see Nani being as good as Ronaldo sadly.
Of course it's all about money. I'd play for United even if they offered the lowest contract. Most of us would. We're fans. I don't think Ronaldo would do the same(for Real). Money is obviously the key.
Eh? I hope my my sake he knows what he's doing because then I think he'll stay at United. He likes winning - the new United team, with him in it, could be one of the best teams ever in terms of trophies and style.
However back to the whys of wanting to move. Players like Figo were his idols (Barca to Madrid anyone) - the players he wants to get bracketed with (Ronaldo I, Zidane, Ronaldinho and the like) didn't win long service awards. Ron's been for sale since he was a kid - he's familiar with the concept of players being sold who wanted to stay, players retiring early or losing their edge due to injury, and players moving for the right price.
And then there's Real Madrid - his family's dream team. A team that will double his wages and who've played the flattery game beautifully and who offer the ultimate tease: "Now you've nothing left to prove in England - come and prove yourself in La Liga. United will go marching on without you (even the fans agree) - but Madrid need you."
if they offered the same... i still think he (and his mrs) would want to go...
if only he had got old big cans atkinson up the duff i bet he would have stayed for years...
i blame gemma atkinson and her non catholic views re contraception

I'm cool guy. I know what you were trying to say fellah.
I'm actually smiling whilst I'm typing. I hardly ever get personal. If I did I would have long left this forum with the shit I have had in the CE forum.
I just want those Ronaldo worshippers to realise him going will not be the end of United.
It's easy to say that now but it is a lot different when your job is to play football.
Didn't Mourinho actually accuse Ronaldo of lacking education rather than class?
It was surely Fergie who pointed out that Mourinho was lacking class in making such a comment.
Wes Brown also held out for more money, ready to leave on a free.
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?
Guardian:
true...
and even if your 150k per week who is realy going to turn down a 100k+ a week payrise (allegedly)... ffs thats 5 million a year... and less tax in spain
just thought i would mention that the Khan v Gomez fight is about to start
very true.
a lot of times it isnt even about the money. the money can be a symbol of how much the club values your imput.
that said, it isn't like united would give u 1k a week if u were in the first team. im sure scholesy does well for himself and he doesn't have an agent and supposedly just accepts whatever terms united offer.
Possibly. He wouldn't go if they offered less. Most fans probably would, though. I do think the amount of cash he's been promised(or banded about) has convinced him. He'd be crazy, however. He;s got everything going for him at Old Trafford. If he had anything up there, then he'd go after a couple of more seasons. At least wait till Fergie calls it a day, and the chance to win a couple of more European Cups. He's taking a huge risk, when he doesn't need to. But feck him. . . I think it's almost at a point where he can't turn back. Shame.
Thanks for that, Sultan
I agree with you but did you expect Ronaldo to be as good as he is now after his first season
He's said words that journalists have reported as being to that effect - except they never report the contexts that would make his words definitely mean that - rather odd if Ronaldo did supply those contexts that they wouldn't firm up their stories by using them.
So I'm still sceptical about just which opportunities Ronaldo thought were 'big' for example.
I can't be mad at him, he's gone a fantastic job for us.
If I played for Madrid, won the league twice, the CL and various personal awards, if United came calling I wouldn't think twice.

Not really. Scholes and the other local lads don't even have agents to negotiate their contracts. They know they're making more cash than most people could dream of, whilst playing for their boyhood club(yes, I know Scholes was an Oldham fan, but the point reamins). I know I'd be the same. Obviously, I wouln;t be happy if I were on peanuts compared to the rest, but I wouldn't complain within reason. Certainly wouldn't be playing for any other club for double the wages. I just couldn't. I love Manchester and Manchester United. So like Giggs et al. . . . there wouldn't be any reason to move on for more wages. Unless I was stuck in the reserves, I guess.
Actually there's a lot of doubt - nowhere does HE actually state he wants to move to RM this summer - even this far along the line.
No, he actually said them in an interview. Unless that was Ballague pretending to be Ronaldo.
Wes does have an agent I think.
Head. Sand
It's a done deal Feeding. It's up to Fergie, Gill, the lawyers and the Glazers now.
Shit's hit the fan already. Let the shits fall where they may.
He's a cnut then. But I love him.
