ALL Ronaldo's future/comments/speculation

Not open for further replies.
By 'tainting' I meant as in now (after season), where a lot of the attention is going on his future, not tainting what the club has achieved this year or the contribution Ronaldo made.

Didn't explain it very well... but at the moment, I, like many other united fans are wondering what the hell is going on with Ronaldo, will he be here next season? If not how do we move on?

That's not how it should be having had the 2nd most successful season in our history.

Ah right, fair enough then mate. Thanks for actually bothering to read my post properly and giving a reasoned response.
 
it's cnuts like you that piss people off trying to be 'cool' on the internet..lol fecking hell

If general was so cool, what you coming in here? :) moment of weakness?

people like you who say us or them...we're all united fans. People that try and break down that basic idealism are fecking idiots in my opinion.

But anyway..

:lol: I think you need to chill out in the general as well mate.
 
If no player really is bigger than the club, why are people getting so irate, so prematurely?

He stays he stays. He goes he goes. MUFC will be fine, either way.

No player is bigger than the club but - while he remains a Manchester United player - lets give him the benefit of any doubt, eh?

I don't like his attitude. As soon he's away from Old Trafford, he becomes a cnut. Fergie keeps him in check, I reckon on international duty he thinks he's queen fecking bee whereas at United players like Giggs, Neville and Scholes are the ones to look up to and demand the respect.

Why did Ronaldo choose AFTER the EC Final to become so undecisive? In my opinion, it's because he doesn't have to face Fergie and co in training the next day.

I love the lad on the field, in a United shirt. I've defended him continuously against allegations of diving, not performing in big games etc. He is without a doubt the best in the world at the moment and I really do hope he stays withus, which i think he will...but questions have to be asked about why such a fuss has been made, based on his very own comments. If it's for money.... he shouldn't have signed a new contract. If it's not and he's staying, it's been purely for attention. If he's going serious questions have to be asked about his loyalty and credibility.

This whole saga could easily have been avoided by the player, if he wanted it to have been.
 
The vast majority of United fans are up in arms over this, and are not taking too kindly to Ronaldo's utterances that he'll "let us know his decisions soon". If you can say that he hasn't done anything to deserve this then either you've had your head in a big hole this last week or you're not really a United supporter. Have you seen Fergie and CQ up in arms

Fergie's and CQ's tirades were against Real Madrid, not Ronaldo. Justifiably so.
 
First of all, take it two steps back. Secondly, I was not calling those that are criticising Ronaldo right now fickle. I was saying that it is absolutely, terribly wrong to say that this Ronaldo saga has tainted us winning the Premiership and Champions League this season and anyone who thinks that Ronaldo's antics deserve to overshadow what has been a great season is very much int he wrong. You've highlighted where I have backed Ronaldo, and yes I do back him. But what I'm saying is that he has done nothing anywhere near as bad to say that it has tainted or overshadowed one of our greatest ever seasons and to think that is overreacting. I fully stand by that, you seemed to have completely missed that point which was the nucleus of my view.

I think the thing is Virtuoso additionally, Ronaldo is a wonderful player and despite what people say, that he's a bit of a dick; though no player is irreplaceable, he'll be missed.

Also him going to madrid, would annoy me personally, because they're a nasty club who will probably ruin him.

But also finally, we know we've a young, talented team and everyone wants to see it progress because it can go on to become our most successful period. So losing your best player...is very bad put it that way

I wouldn't blame people being angry. that's football for you
 
The two or three days comment came as he was attempting to dodge the press by sneaking out during the second half of the Georgia game. There's no audio of it, so what you've got are the notes of the half dozen reporters who stopped him on the way to his car.

The version from the Portugues reporter said:
Can we expect news in the coming days over your future?
"I certainly hope so."
When?
'Soon'
Soon when?
"In two or three days, I hope."

The Spanish reporter from Marca remembered it as, "I'll announce my decision in two or three days."

The multiply retranslated, requoted, recycled and retranslated quotes are all just that - there have been about 6 sentences of actual comments from Ronaldo on this since he got back to Portugal.

if this is true, then the situation is even worse than i feared.

i can honestly say, though, that the only statement i believe that came from Ronaldo - precisely because i saw them live - were the 'i stay statement' at the end of the CL, and the 'i am happy here, but in the future, who knows?' statement to the UEFA TV people prior to Moscow.

i tend to disregard the rest, really.

I'll be angry if he does leave this summer. I think everyone will.

But I don't understand people getting angry already. It's just not worth getting wound up about, even if for no other reason than they're wrecking their own enjoyment of the double.

Ho hum. Seeing as we're all being civilised, I'll apologise for the condescending tone in a lot of my posts in this thread. No need for that really.
 
Pogue feck it. Come to the general and leave them to furiously crywank about how Ronaldo doesn't love them any more.

Well i think people are angry for lots of reasons. If it was anyone else, there would be more trust I reckon but the fact is ronaldo does dream of spain. I reckon it's a trust issue with ronny.

I know people don't wanna think about it but one summer he will sod off, and after five years who knows?

It's kinda like those kids that can't sleep on xmas eve and ransack their house to find the presents. Some people are info junkies

But more then that pogue, it's the lack of topics to talk about. There's obviously no football and alls quiet on the transfer market.

Once we get to the euro's and there's some more rumors then it takes peoples focus away but if you look at the views it's clear this is the biggest news story we've got - unfortunately, hopefully it won't last much longer

But people are fickle. Make no mistake, some might not like him but they'll be more then happy to put him in the team every game ;)

ps: No hard feelings

I think that's how most rival fans feel about him when he's playing for us. I think you have to take step back and look at the situation from a different perspective, and not just with your United goggles on. He's probably tempted - yes, but nobody bar him(and his close circle of friends) knows what he wants. So, basically, we're just judging him through the media. The only thing he's said is 'I'll stay' and 'we'll see', or words to that effect. Sure, he can put all the speculation to bed by saying he's not interested in Real, but if it's a new contract he's after, then he won't be saying anything of the sort. He's the best player in the world and his value/stock won't be as high as it is now, and he knows that. The kid's got the lot really, and will probably be the biggest thing the sport has ever seen from a marketing point of view. . . as I said above, he's clearly aware of it. . .and wants a bigger slice of the pie, whether that's a fat contract at Real or an improved deal at Old Trafford. That said, he'd be a mug to go, I think he's too young to deal with all the possible hysteria that'll be created in Spain, and will regret it. Not only are Real a fair bit away from have a top side, there's a chance he won't be able to repeat his United form. The fat Ronaldo made a huge mistake when he left Barca, but that was out of his hands. I hope our Ronaldo doesn't make the same mistake.
 
I'm afraid I permanently wear my United goggles Spoons, they are very much part of me. Hence why his pissing aroung over something he doesn't actually have a say irritates me

Most of the defences of his behavior in here seem to be along the lines of 'he's greedy' or 'he's just arrogant'. Oh, so that's ok then!!! :rolleyes:

I'm not fickle. He might be a great footballer, but as a person, I'm pretty sure I just don't like him

All probably very true...especially the first couple of lines.

We should know more in the coming days. I have no doubts this is all about money. Disapointing, but when you look at even Wes Brown, a local lad, has been at it. Modern football eh?

I still maintain he shouldn't have signed a fecking contract with us, to then demand a new one soon after. We're aren't his bitch ffs. The club own him, not the other way round.

I agree with that I have said this before I just don't think he could cope with a price tag of 70 to 100 million its just too big. He would be slaughtered if he made a bad pass or hit a bad free kick never mind just having a bad game.

I'm with Brad on this one ....
 
I think Ronaldo could handle any price tag. Going to madrid though, bad idea. Someone mentioned it on mutv.

Where Ronaldos lucky is that we have a team of selfless players. I don't think that'd be true over there. Their players have ego's and i'm sure while they'll want him to do well, they won't want to be overshadowed; where as our lads the team comes first

I think this is the perfect environment for him. Ok the weather is shite but the fans, the management/coaching staff, the players, the age profile, the fact we're on an upward curve.

But mentally the boys as good as it get's. His ego could handle it. Infact if he did move he'd probably fail his medical on purpose so he could retake it the posing cnut he is :)

He stays he stays. He goes he goes. MUFC will be fine, either way.

agreed Pogue, except the last bit ... he's being a bit of a knob ...

Same here. But I think we have to accept that not all players are like Scholes, Giggs, Brown, Neville etc. They're local lads, and are very down to earth. We've been very lucky. As for not liking him as a person, I have no idea what he's like, and I couldn't give a stuff as long as he's on the field producing great football for United.

.

I don't think even he felt that he'd have the type of season he's just had. Things change very fast. . .and it could go tits up for the lad and all. Works both ways. Which is why I hope he's advised by the right people and not just by the dickheads out to make millions through him.

This is where I'm coming from too. If a player is delivering on the field and giving 110% for United, every time he pulls on the shirt, then I don't need to "like" them to have enough loyalty to them to cut some slack if/when they act like a dick.

I worship the ground that players like Scholes, Giggs and Keane walk on but I might not have got on with any of them. Who knows?

I almost certainly wouldn't get on with Ronaldo, socially, that's for sure but feck it, he busts his bollocks for the team and has done since he signed for us. Which is good enough for me.

And we've paid them as well as any club would - and we still do. In the case of Giggs we paid him well enough when he was "the next big thing" to stop him from deciding to gamble on a move to Inter and he's probably glad we did.

We don't know what's going on with Ron or with United. United don't tell the press anything unless they want to and Ron hasn't changed his story. Without the net the story wouldn't change for days at a time and we'd have to make do with two minutes grumbling in the pub. The Kaka story rumbled on for months before he signed a new contract (one year into his old one) - what's the record for longest thread?
 
If I were Ronaldo I would be peed off with the amount of times I was being asked about his future and would probably try to mess with the medias mind for a laugh. This 'decision' is probably to say to announce new sponsor ship or getting engaged or something like that.







Hopefully!
 
Fergz: Ronaldo will stay

ALEX FERGUSON is expecting Cristiano Ronaldo to confirm he is staying a Manchester United player.


And the Portugal winger would not be allowed to leave even if he wanted to go.


Fergie insists there is no way his star player will be signing for Real Madrid.


The United boss said: “I’m very confident about that. It’s a game Real play all the time. In the past they’ve done it with David Beckham, they’ve done it with Van Nistelrooy, they’ve done it with my fitness coach last summer — so we’re used to it.


“I am more than confident Cristiano will be with us next year. The Glazer family will not be messed about in this situation.


“We want Cristiano to stay for a long, long time. He is on a fantastic contract and quite rightly so — he’s the best player in the world.”



But Real president Ramon Calderon has refused to rule out a bid for the United winger.


Calderon said: “We would love to have Cristiano or any of the world’s great players here.”

And on that note i'm off to bed

I guess the rest of the World is praying that we lose Ronaldo. It's only us fickle United fans that are really on tenterhooks. Spoilt brats we are. Well today's R-day.....wouldn't be in the least surprised if we heard nothing. For Fergie to say he's confident he'll stay also implies that there's a doubt about it. So apparantly Ronnie has not spoken to Fergie and the prospect of him leaving is a possibility. Fergie's in the same boat as the rest of us.
We need this to end quickly before relationships are harmed beyond repair.
 
If I were Ronaldo I would be peed off with the amount of times I was being asked about his future and would probably try to mess with the medias mind for a laugh.
Of course you'd be messing with the club's supporters at the same time. And also causing the club enough worry that both your manager and his assistant felt it necessary to make rather extreme statements to the press.

Not much of a laugh there, I'm afraid.

“I am more than confident Cristiano will be with us next year. The Glazer family will not be messed about in this situation. "


What does "more than confident mean?"....still allowing for the possibility, eh? Not quite "sure" ? Does it mean he's definitely probably staying?

I don't know, maybe he's talking about his favourite horse "Cristiano" or he's drunk.

don't care really, apparently today is the day the world will end, we'll jsut have to wait and see

I entirely agree. Too many people think their footballers and marvellous, honest good folk, when it's more than likely a lot of them are utter twats! I wouldn't want to be their friend maybe, but I damn well don't care about any of that whilst they're out representing my club on the pitch. And yes we probably have been spoiled with the local down to earth lads, but there are plenty of loyal, professional foreign players in this league over the years too, Ole a cracking example. It's a shame, if Ronaldo's attitude on and off the pitch was better, it would make him more of a legend (should he go on to become one). But there you go. For all this, he might he a nice lad, easily led, being badly advised by his agent. But whatever the reason, it should never have happened like this

The sad thing about it all is even if he stays I will never have any respect for him. He could have ended this when it all began instead of deliberately letting it run. As much as I would like him to stay I wouldn't lose any sleep if he fecked off

I would. We'd be losing the greatest footballer of our generation. Our Maradonna, our Pele, our Best. That would upset me.
