Calderon still chasing Ronaldo
Jul 20 2008
Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon is adamant Cristiano Ronaldo remains his club's number one transfer target despite Manchester United's insistence that the Portugal star will not be sold.
Sir Alex Ferguson met Ronaldo for clear-the-air talks on Monday and claimed on Friday that there was no chance he would be quitting United for Spain.
However, Calderon believes Ferguson's optimism is little more than a ruse to get more money out of the Primera Liga giants who are reportedly willing to pay no more than 85million euros.
"This type (of transfer) is hard," he told Spanish media, when asked about Ferguson's comments. "But we're going to go for it all the same.
"I suppose it's all about a manner of theirs to let us know clearly that they're not going to lower the price in any way and that if we want him we have to pay a lot more money."
Madrid chiefs are said to be convinced the winger - who is currently recovering from ankle surgery - will join them before the beginning of the season.
When asked about Ronaldo by the Madrid players on their first day of pre-season training, Calderon reportedly reassured them with the words "Don't worry, we have it all sorted."

The thing is though even if the BPITW says 'I stay', I can bet Calderon won't give up. His job is on the line here and Ronaldo is his only way of saving it.

Our man at the course brings you the latest colour from Birkdale, and he is wondering whether he is set to see history made.

The only reason Calderon is still going on with his bs is because Ronnie hasn't come out and said "I'm staying"The thing is though even if the BPITW says 'I stay', I can bet Calderon won't give up. His job is on the line here and Ronaldo is his only way of saving it.
The case is closed ONLY when Ronnie says it is. The speculation is winding up again. It will not stop until the greasy laddie sings.Come on Bahama, it is over. The papers can still throw shit if they want but the case is closed. I guess you need to spend more time in the general that looking for Madrid sites. Stay away from Spanish sites Bahama !!!
The only reason Calderon is still going on with his bs is because Ronnie hasn't come out and said "I'm staying"
Once Ronnie says that then Calderon will be at the job centre next day.

United are absolutely adamant, I know. But what if he hands in a transfer request? And states publicly that he wants to go to Madrid. That changes everything. Only God knows what will happen then (hmmmm)Between about one and two hundred pages ago there was a number of posts (many by my good self, hem hem,) which covered this nonsense about the size of the fee, and what I called the titanic battle between the two leading global football brands. Look at Gill's recent remarks about the Glazer's agenda and the difference between their approach and that of a PLC board. To back down now would undoubtedly cast United in the role of the dog retiring from the scrap for leadership of the pack with its tail between its legs.
This is not the Glazer's style. It is emphatically not Sir Alex Ferguson's style.
Relax Bahama, and trust in the prophet Magic.
(God I'm in a superior mood since I got back. Somebody STOP ME!!!)
Well, so far you've offered zero. You may have to go above that to secure the transfer.
Of Ronnie's making. This whole thing has been a wind up.

You can bet Calderon is watching for Ronnie's actions 24/7. The fact that Ronnie hasn't backed up Fergie's statements has caused this and will continue to cause the like until Ronnie comes out and sings.Calderon knows it wont happen. That's why he is too scared to bid.
Ah yes - God; time for a bump of my update on Real Madrid's courting of said figure;
Real Madrid sign God; Update;
Madrid 1407 GMT;
Speaking from the Santa Cruz Palace this afternoon, Spain’s Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos has denied any involvement in the astounding revelations emanating from the Bernabeu earlier today, in which Ramon Calderon implied that Moratinos worked behind the scenes in helping Real Madrid to sign Cosmological super star God in a deal reported to be worth nearly two fifths of global GDP. ‘The Spanish Government does not involve itself in matters of this kind’ declared Moratinos ‘not since the days of General Franco, when Real’s opponents would receive a visit to their dressing room prior to kick off by the Generalisimo, explaining that he knew where their families lived, has it been the overt policy of the Spanish State to support Real.’
Meanwhile, in a separate development, scores of armed security lorries have been seen arriving at the Bernabeu, each fully laden with gold bullion stamped ‘característica del gobierno español’. Unconfirmed reports emanating from Marca’s Headquarters at Paseo de la Castellana suggest that God’s mother, Maria Dolores Aveiro dos Christos, interviewed whilst on a promotional visit to French resort Lourdes, made it clear that whilst her son had, in fact, always maintained that the club were ‘his chosen people’ on account of their association with his (son's) brother Santiago, he had no immediate plans to descend to them at present. ‘He has always said that ever since his assumption into ‘el teatro del suenos’, he has felt that his true work lies there, amidst the Glory and the community of Saints dwelling on earth.’ This, theological sources explain, is thought to be a reference to a famous stadium in the English City of Manchester, known to be frequented by numerous saints and demi-gods.
You can bet Calderon is watching for Ronnie's actions 24/7. The fact that Ronnie hasn't backed up Fergie's statements has caused this and will continue to cause the like until Ronnie comes out and sings.

But that appears to be his last option now. I think it's what Madrid are waiting for and what Ronnie is, at present, deciding. Once he makes his decision it will either close all this or set off a whole new scenario which, in Ronnie's words, only God knows how it will end.but it don't matter. Ronaldo won't put in a transfer request (he's too gutless) and Calderon won't make a bid. Even if they did make a bid now, we know what our response will be. We just gotta roll wit' it.
Of Ronnie's making
Calderon is seriously in denial. Someone call the guys in white coats.
Of Ronnie's making
Calderon is a big prick
They can't afford Ronaldo, so they just chat shit so Fergie gets annoyed and sells him on the cheap - NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
Ronaldo (although I still want him to stay), is on the verge of deserving two boots to the head by Fergie at this rate.
Ronnie could have ended it directly after Moscow. In fact we all thought he had because he said those magic words. Then he retracted. When he says the magic words again this will all go away and Calderon will disappear in a puff of smoke. This is totally of Ronnie's making. All others are bit players. (Except God, of course, who is omnipotent and omnipresent)So you, permanently, keep saying. And, of course, it's nothing whatsoever to do with Calderon's survival games, his desire to keep this floating for his own position within the club, along with the rest of his lapdogs at Marca etc. Sure, Ronaldo would like to go - no news there - and would if the clubs agreed the amounts originally quoted, but what you don't seem able to comprehend is that he won't go under any circumstances and if not, he's quite content to remain at OT. He knows he'll still be around when twatface Calderon has gone. AND they still aint got the money!
