Ronaldo gives so many open ended answers these days. He is trying to please everyone but it is only pissing us all off. Commit to one side rather than playing both for fools.

I dunno bout all of that, but you're definitely gay for Ronaldo.
to be honest, if it doesn't affect the club's performances on the pitch, then we're the ones who are winners.
ronnie can pout all he wants, but if we keep him, he's too driven to not push his game to even higher leves (even though its for selfish reasons).
i don't know about you lot, but its not like we have daily bevvies with the players or they are our mates. i could care less what ronnie thinks or acts. If he's doing the business for us, we're the ones who are coming out on top.
why get worked up about it when united will still be the dogs bollocks if he left today.
modern day players are mercenaries, just like most of us are at our professions/jobs.

Devils Advocate
OK people , like the title says Im playing Devils Advocate here. I personally think that Ronaldo is the best on earth, Ive never seen anyone run with the ball with such control and pace as Ronny and when you factor in his finishing and his heading ability he really is something special. BUT Im asking you experienced and knowledgeable footy fans, Is Ronaldo really THAT good? IS there any chance he is overrated? Does Portugal's and Ronny's performance at Euro reveal Ronny is so great because he is surrounded by greatness at United? Are his 42 goals from his brilliance alone or are players like Carrick,Rio,Rooney,Scholes, and Tevez or Fergie's and CQ tactics responsible for Ronny's unbelievable form for the last 2 and a half years?

Look through my posts. I very much prefer Rooney and Scholes but still no one is bigger than the club. I was a fan before the newer generation of players were even born and will be long after they're gone but hey, if I think we should support anyone still playing for United then I must be gay for him!
Was just a joke, mate. Just taking the mick due to the sexual nature of your analogy.

Maybe in the days before the internet and 24 hour news channels this would have been true, it'll be more of a challenge for Ron now. Eh - he might like that
Good.
Rio the diplomat in action.
He is that good. Yes playing with the team mates at united has improved his goals and overall game, but based on things that have come out now, Ronny was suffering from an ankle injury during the Euros. He was also one of their best players involved in virtually every attack of any note. Portugals problem was not ronaldo's form but their defenses complete lack of positional awareness, which i found strange.
In short he is the best in the world right now, and looks even better when playing alongside hardworking runners making space for him.

Yes, the fvcker IS that good. Besides being the best technical footballer there is, Ronaldo is developing courage too. That match where he flew in up the middle at top speed out of nowhere (v Roma was it?) to nail the goal at the precise moment he and the ball had to coincide in order to score still amazes me.
He should give up the flop biz though. He's too good for that.

He's as good a player as he is a prick.
Not sure if thats an insult or a compliment

I think Rio is the last person on this planet to be giving out comments about whether fans or players should accept Ronnie back.
In the not so distant past he himself made himself and United look fecking stupid, and theres many fans still havent forgiven him for that.
So perhaps Rio should concentrate on getting himself back in everyones good books before telling people how they should react to Ronaldo.
Rio has turned the corner fred....you cant hold the past over him forever...
You should always stand beside every player who plays for Manchester United. That is a true United supporter. Very disappointing stance from Brad, a moderator.
I dont think United fans do ever forgive and forget 100%. Somehow its not their way.
In many ways fans are fickle. Ronaldo is cunto numero uno at present but a couple of goals and wisely chosen words about really wanting to stay at United ( like a certain Mr Gerrard of scouse origin ) and he'll be numero uno.
He will win the fans back onside with this football skills ( as Rio has done ) but at the back of everyones minds will be this little niggling doubt that alongside his skills comes a lack of ambition to make United his home for the rest of his day. Thats why the fans will never take to him now. Not the way the fans would like to.
Utter crap.
If a player is a cnut then he doesnt deserve the loyalty of the fans.
Supposing Real hadnt bought Heinze. He would have remained at United.
Not one self respecting red would offer him any support after the way he said he wanted to go to the dippers.
Players should be proud to wear the shirt. Its an honour.
United are honouring them by letting them grace OT, not the other way around, and its about time the players fecking realised that.
If they cant accept that, then sorry, they can all feck off.
I'd rather have 11 shit players with the club in their blood than one superstar who couldnt give a feck for what United is always about.
Saying that, can a foreign player ever understand what United is all about.. I dont think so, but thats a different argument altogether.
100% with you there freddie. That's what this is all about.
Well said jo, as per usual.
Ok I agree with your about this totally. Cheers mate.
...on a nail...
He just said that at this stage, anything is possible. Basically he's just keeping his options open, he hasn't said that he wants to leave. Drawing comparisons with Heinze is ludicrous. Judas even threatened to take us to court and rip up his contract.
Someone's not going to be happy about this comment and will demand some pussy sucking in compensation.
Well dont know why some keep whinning.
The lad is staying and Fergie decided that. Are you gonna go against him for making that decision?
To me the topic is closed. Fergie knows its not about getting sentimental and is about the club. the ambition, the work he had put on building this team and the fact that we had to wait a lot for last season champions league trophy.
He has few years left to retire and wont let anything affect his last years to be succesful with the club and try to overpass Liverpool league titles and dominate Europe.

I believe Fred has saved me the need to reply to this
Don't know if you meant in tongue in cheek or not, but I'm not a moderater. Don't think because any one is a moderator though, their opinion is anymore valid. It comes down to where they stand, not what internet forums they tend after
Nope. Not till Ronnie says those two words.
Real Madrid?
Cristiano Ronaldo
#17,000
he's definitely staying.
The stupidity in all of this is that he was never going to go. Bottom line, the club wouldn't have let him. It's been irrelevant what he may or may not think, feel or say. This thread is, and has been, about Redcafe's fans attitudes to him because of what he 'said' or not 'said' and is reported to have 'said' or not 'said'. A lot thought that the Glazers and the club would bend over the second that Madrid started waving money and this type is confusing themselves and their own moralities with the club's. There are those who 'hate' him because he won't 'die' for the club and this lot, in this day and age, are pretty childish. It's 2008, kids, not 1938, attitudes are a lot different, especially from those not brought up with the club and whose allegiance and passion, in younger days, lay elsewhere.
Ronaldo, himself, is a stupid, immature, turd, as Rio was, who's been pushed into, by Calderon etc. as well as his own nature, unwinnable games and ended on his arse. I'm one who wanted him sold the day after the CL win and replaced with a couple of top notch players for better balance but Fergie still wants him and he'll be wearing the Red shirt next season and for that reason, from me, it's Viva Ronaldo. I support the club and it's manager, not any personnal feelings.
Let's see.
Well said Gill
'Kinell! are they still asking if he's going? Still listening to calderon, Marca and AS, Ballague and the like? What a bunch of moronic pricks.

This one especially is making himself one hell of a name as one that has insiders all around Spain and England.
Thats your opinion and I was on about a specfic comment where the poster said he would be dissapointed at fans giving Ronaldo support when he was on the pitch for us. These people giving him support don't have Utd at heart I think that statement is wrong, an unfair judement on those fans who don't fully agree with his view.
I don't want to say too much about it because I agree with most of the views that particular poster has made on the situation but because I choose to support Ronaldo when he is on the pitch for us, which in turn makes him contribute more to Utd do I not have the club at heart? Give me a break.
Thats your opinion and its clearly up to you what you do, me I think Utd will benefit far more by offering him support and a comfortable environment for him to work in. It certainly doesn't make any of those fans who show him support when he pulls on our shirt not to have the club at heart.
Seconded
RONALDO TALK OF THE SUMMER - RIO
Rio Ferdinand admits the Cristiano Ronaldo transfer circus has overshadowed what should have been a summer spent basking in the glory of Manchester United's double-winning season.
Red Devils manager Sir Alex Ferguson appeared to put an end to the protracted affair this week when he insisted the 23-year-old winger will stay at Old Trafford, after weeks of doubt over whether he would get his "dream" move to Real Madrid.
Ferdinand, captain in Gary Neville's absence last season, is disappointed that the gloss has been taken off United's captures of the Barclays Premier League and Champions League titles.
But he insists Ronaldo will be welcomed back into the dressing room when he recovers from recent ankle surgery.
"This summer, given the season we've just had, should have been a time to think about our achievements," Ferdinand said.
"In the end that became impossible because of the stuff going on with Cristiano."
He added: "The players can't wait to see him back. There won't be any problems between Cristiano and the rest of the squad because we have always stood by what Sir Alex Ferguson has said all along - Cristiano will be a United player next season.
"Cristiano is a great guy. He never has any problems with anyone in the squad and I'm sure that will be the same when he comes back through the door."
