Cristiano Ronaldo 'never coming back' to Man United as Real Madrid saga continues


Reports elsewhere suggest that a deal has been done in principle but on the understanding that the move will be delayed until next summer, allowing United to get another season out of Ronaldo while he is in his prime and still cash in on his value in a year's time.

Maybe Calderon is looking for an Exit Strategy in order to keep the fans happy after failing to deliver yet another promise of his i.e. admitting he failed this year but he ll be successful in luring Ronaldo next season.

Indeed and I'm not sure how credible the above quotes are. I thought we all accepted Sky and BBC only write bollocks?

this is something that is annoying. There is absolutely no indication of us selling next season. The media can feck off with their bullshit :)

If you were Fergie, what would you do?

- Sell him now, knowing his value will only be going down
- Sell him next year, even though his contribution this year will not be on par with the last couple of years
- Bench him

Option one would be the most reasonable, especially if we could get top pound for him. However, it would set a bad precedent, it would mean Real wins and it would mean they will play the same game every year we have a genuine great player.

Option two is more of a face-saving exercise. Ronaldo will sulk all year, never produce the brilliance and will be sold at a discount 12 months from now, wondering what was the point of that at all.

Or the boy could rot in the stands, which will mean we would have to write down one of our biggest assets, and Ronaldo would have to write down his career.

Some tough choices lay ahead.

Fortunately we depend upon SAF's analysis and not yours.

I never said that we will sell Ronnie next year. I only said that Calderon in order to lose his face with the Madrid fans, is promising he will deliver next season...

Only one option for Ferguson I feel. That is to hold on to him as long as its possible to do so. He is the worlds top player at the moment.

If we were concerned about cashing in on him then he would be in Madrid already.

I was responding to the box above your reply but cocked it up :)...
 
feck Real Madrid, wanted to make sure I got that in one last time
 
Fergie can talk till he's blue in the face. It ain't over till we hear it from Ronnie's lips. In English. And see his lips move. The phap laddie has to sing.
 
The Beeb seem to support Sky on this one. It could very well be a done no-deal.


Ronaldo saga over, says Ferguson

Ronaldo is currently recovering from ankle surgery


Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says the Cristiano Ronaldo transfer saga is now "closed" and the winger will remain at the club.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon hinted the Spanish side may have ended their pursuit of the winger.
Real have been linked with Ronaldo throughout the summer, but signed Rafael van der Vaart on Tuesday.
"Van der Vaart is the first and possibly the only signing of the summer for Real Madrid," Calderon said.
The 25-year-old signing from Hamburg was unveiled at Real Madrid's Bernabeu stadium on Tuesday and Calderon said he was unlikely to further add to his squad.
Calderon has repeatedly said he would like to sign Ronaldo, but his latest comments come amid signs that Real's bid to recruit the Portugal international have stalled due to United's refusal to sell the 23-year-old.

606: DEBATE
Is the Ronaldo saga really over?

Ronaldo is under contract at Old Trafford until 2012 but has been heavily linked with a move to Madrid and the player appeared to be keen on a move.
But Ferguson has remained adamant that Ronaldo would stay at Old Trafford and has now moved to end the saga.
He said: "The matter is closed now. He is a Manchester United player - it's finished. He'll be playing here next season believe me. It's finished."
Real have been relatively quiet during this summer's transfer window.
The Spanish champions signed Argentine defender Ezequiel Garay from Racing Santander at the end of last season but under the terms of the deal the player will only join the club in the 2009-10 season.
In addition, midfielders Javi Garcia and Ruben de la Red, who were in Spain's triumphant Euro 2008 squad, have rejoined Real after a season with Osasuna and Getafe respectively.
"We believe that this squad is full of quality, of plenty of talent. It's a team which is a great family, very close," Calderon added.

Van der Vaart's move to Madrid may scupper Ronaldo's transfer


"We said that the new arrivals would be few but of great quality. That seemed logical after two successful seasons in which we've brought in 19 young, promising players.
"This [the low number of signings] was a request of the board of directors."
Ronaldo is recovering from surgery on an ankle injury and is due to visit a specialist in Amsterdam to discover how successful the surgery has been. He is likely to be sidelined until the end of September, missing their opening five Premier League matches.

Its been over for a long time IMO, we're just riding the aftershocks... and we're bored.
 
i have a terrible feeling in a couple of years time fans will be singing his name again, with some sort of joke about him being a slave.

No I agree. It's most unusual for the fans to sing United songs in unison at a moment in time when there is no game taking place. It would be an odd step; a bit like choir practice or community singing. On balance I feel it would be a sad and retrograde step for large numbers of fans to arrange to meet at various times, on days when United are not involved in a game, to start singing United songs.

Of course, once the lad's involved in a game, we shall burst into lusty voice.

Yet your scenario was set in the future: 'in a couple of years time'. I rather assumed he would have done something more to earn the chanting by then.

Having said that, personally I feel he's done enough the last 2 seasons to deserve the singing lastyear (and next tbh.) I would, however, like to hear a song for Evra - and eventually Hargreaves.
