I Love Ronaldo And Am Happy He Is Staying. Praise Be To Jebus.
 
And the last, desperate throw of the dice from that sulphorous organ of Satan;

Cristiano Ronaldo endures the pressure

The newspaper MARKA was again next to Cristiano Ronaldo after the statements of Sir Alex Ferguson, in which he assured us that the Portuguese will play the next season for Manchester United. Nevertheless, Cristiano already has determined that he does not want to return to Manchester and only shuffles the option to play in the Real Madrid.

"I am used to the pressure", the Portuguese told MARKA on the way out of the clinic where he recovers from his operation. This week will be decisive to know if Cristiano Ronaldo puts on file to join Real Madrid or continues with Manchester United.

United have told Ronaldo, 23, they want him back by next Monday at the very latest. A source close to the winger said: “Cristiano was convinced he would be able to convince United to sell him — but he now realises that is not going to happen. “He’s heard what Ferguson said and he knows he’ll be there for the next year at least. “He’s feeling really low about it — he had his heart set on a move.”

I watched Team America the other day and it dawned on me that there's only one way Ronaldo can now repent and ask for our forgiveness.

And today's 'Sun';

ALEX FERGUSON last night defiantly crushed Cristiano Ronaldo’s dream of moving to Real Madrid, insisting: “He is staying with us.”
The Old Trafford boss said: “He is a Manchester United player. He is going to be playing here next season. Believe me, it is all over.”

It is a blow for Real, who have spent the summer trying to lure Ron to the Bernabeu. But it was joyous news for Sun readers, who can now safely include Ronaldo in their Dream Teams after he earned 457 points last season!

However, perhaps the key factor for keeping Ron a Red was he could not bear the thought of missing out all those points in SunSport’s £1million Dream Team!

So he is feeling low. Good. At last someone has dared to teach him the lesson that you cant have everything you want in life. You have to honour contracts, consider the implications of your actions and choose your friends and advisors more carefully.

Maybe in years to come he will realize and thank SAF.

You actually believe these 'sources close to'. So close they can't even name themselves. No wander these papers keep printing this stuff while people keep believing them. Read what MadDogg said yesterday. Funny how much stuff these sources failed to reveal, until they were later revealed by Fergie or Ronaldo himself. If I went to one of the papers now and said I was Ronaldo's friend, they would believe me and take what I had to say. Sad but true
 
Can the mods please shut this thread? It could go on ad infinitum at this rate. Ferguson has said the cnut is staying.
 
The source close to the player (sun) is bollocks made up by the tea lady probably but it's designed to make people believe he's unhappy staying which is bullshit. Ronaldo has said more then once that he doesn't mind where he plays, has no preference and motivation is always there

You don't close popular threads. You close threads that no-one posts in anymore. There are 684 sources close to Ronaldo that have still to say their piece. Give them a break.

The sensationalism these papers use is just mind boggling. "Defiantly crushed", like Fergie is some brutal dictator putting down rebellions. Of course, when you're dealing with a slave, I guess that is a good analogy. ;)

Notice that when sources close to Ronaldo did name themselves it was his sister and his mother, both of whom said that he's staying?

They'd only believe you if you said Ronaldo was desperate to leave United. Anything you'd say that indicated he was fine with staying at Old Trafford, and they'd throw you out on your ear.
 
Did anyone else notice that Ronaldo has never once categorically stated that he wants to leave United?. SAF, David Gill and the Glazers (through SAF) have all repeatedly reiterated the clubs desire to keep him. He has flirted with Madrid (possibly a slight understatement) but the whole saga has been overhyped and stories are being spouted out left, right and centre. What's really amusing is the fact that, once a journalist claims a source has said this or that, it's Gospel. Ronnie has said he would like to play in Madrid one day, he has also said that may not happen. Even Calderon, possibly the biggest wanker in football, has said it's all down to United. As long as he produces the goods, he will be a United player until his contract expires. SAF would do everything to keep him, simple as.

BTW, this thread will go down in history as one of the greatest ever!!

Of course I dont believe anything in the Sun. It just gave me an opportunity to make my point.

I believe that Ronaldo has reached that point of fame where he needs a sharp reality check. No-one better qualified to give it to him than SAF.

Fair enough. Its true that its good for him that he is under the guidance of SAF :D
 
Another key point here is that Real Madrid have not bid for the player - at least not publicly. It doesn't take a player saying he wants to leave a club to initiate a bidding process, bids are put in without that happening I would say 80% of the time. Calderon has been banging his drum, but the one beat he hasn't laid down is the "we've made a bid for the player". I have little doubt that Ronaldo was waiting for this to happen, at which point he would have come out and said he wants to leave and that he sees no future for himself at Old Trafford. Sure, he's flirted with Madrid, but he has not been interviewed and said, unequivocally "I WANT TO PLAY FOR REAL MADRID." The lack of a bid from Real must surely have placed some seeds of doubt in his mind about moving there. If we had received a bid from Madrid, I'm certain the board and Fergie would have made a big show of turning it down, making it very public.

All that said, I still won't believe he's staying until I see him in the shirt!
 
Theres no point closing the thread when its obvious people will continue to want to discuss Ronaldo's future until he finally puts the United shirt on the first time next season.

Closing this thread won't magically make the story go away.

And we're so close to 20k who cares just keep going, we'll have doubled the Tevez and the rabid stoats thread - without the use of lady bits on display which is quite an achievement.

Any more shite from the press?

brilliant piece from the always brilliant La Liga Loca:

La Liga Loca
A sideways look at Spanish football

Spanish dailies scraping barrel for Ronaldo crumbs
Tim Stannard and Simon Talbot

Never let it be said that Real Madrid’s pom-pom donning, axe-wielding cheerleaders-turned-hatchet-men Marca and AS don’t put in the leg-work in their pursuit of a story (and for “story” read “party line”)

This week they’ve been in Manchester and London chasing this Cristiano Ronaldo thingymijig.

And despite the obstacles placed in their path – like not being allowed into Manchester United’s training ground, getting banned from Angry Alex Ferguson’s press conferences and, erm, not actually speaking any English in the case of one intrepid reporter relaying back the truth from England – they have really excelled themsleves in their service to the cause. Oh yes.

Now, La Liga Loca isn’t saying that Ronaldo definitely is not going to Madrid. He might. He might not. It’s not even saying that there is not some message lurking between the lines of Fergie’s declarations. There might be. There might not be.

It’s just that the evidence that Marca and AS have presented to “prove” that he definitely is going to Madrid (and to try to help make it so that he is, in fact, going to Madrid) sends the words “clutching,” “straws” and “at” leaping into La Liga Loca’s mind, doing cartwheels and banging saucepans together.

Just as they did when Marca and AS claimed that he must be going to Spain because he’s got a Spanish girlfriend – an issue they have quietly dropped since she got dumped and started displaying her charms in the tabs.

Take Marca’s front cover on Sunday. (Somebody please, etc). That’s the FRONT COVER of a NATIONAL newspaper on a SUNDAY, traditionally the biggest day of the week, the preserve of the most exclusive of exclusives, the most earth-shattering of stories – like busses being found on the moon, Freddie Star eating your hamster, that sort of thing.

In fact, that’s the FRONT COVER of the country’s BEST-SELLING newspaper. And it says, “If Cristiano Ronaldo wants to go, he should just go now!” above a picture of a fat bloke in a Manchester United shirt.

Because, make no mistake, the opinion of a fat bloke in a Manchester United shirt with no position at the club and no neck is definitely front-page news (not to mention a great photo … wow! they’ll be proud of that one).

Especially when it’s backed up by, ooh, at least four or five other United fans – including one who’s apparently called “Bop” – who are all quoted as saying Ronaldo should leave.

And wait, the evidence is even more damming. Because, get this, United’s fans COMPLETELY IGNORED Ronaldo during a match he wasn’t at. There were no songs, no chants, nothing - “as if he had already gone,” said Marca. Instead, for some reason, they spent the whole time singing about some bloke called Ole or something.

Which is pretty conclusive evidence that to a man (and a woman) United’s fans want shot of him. And if United fans don’t want him, he’ll definitely go.

Because football fans are never fickle and have never, ever changed their minds. And because United will obviously do whatever the fat bloke says (actually maybe that’s not so silly: after all, Ramón Calderón would).

Even more conclusive when you see the other evidence. Like AS and Marca’s claim that Ferguson is going soft and is already planning for a future without Ronaldo. Because, when asked about Fraizer Campbell, he insisted that the striker will stay at United because he “only” has Tevez and Rooney at centre-forward.

Which, never mind the absence of Ronaldo with injury for three months or the fact that the Portugeezer is not actually a centre-forward, obviously means that what Fergie really means is that Ronaldo won’t be there.

Or, more importantly, because the United manager made comments that were splashed across the front cover of AS, under the headline: “Ferguson gives in on Ronaldo.”

Comments that basically said: “it’s rare for any player to stay for more than a couple of years, especially a foreigner.” Comments that were obviously about Ronaldo’s future and how the United boss admits that he won’t stay.

Or would have been but for the fact that Ferguson was sitting next to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the time (a foreigner who stayed for more than two years) conducting a press conference to present the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer testimonial and responding to a question about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

But then how should AS know that? After all, they weren’t actually in the press conference to see the striker with a baby’s face grinning next to the manager with a worryingly red one.

But La Liga Loca’s particular favourite was Marca’s marvellous ability to get a story out of not being allowed in to United’s training ground. No access? No sightings? No quotes? No news? No nibbles? No photos apart from that one of the gate? No problem.
According to Marca, United’s training ground is like Fort Knox. Fans and press can’t get in; a sign even warms them not to hang around for autographs. And THAT is why Ronaldo wants to leave. No, really.

You see, Ronaldo actually WANTS to “feel the warmth of the fans” (Marca's words not La Liga Loca’s). He hates being cut off, he hates being able to work and train in peace, he hates not having fans clawing at him, clambering over his car and screaming into his ear.

He hates the fact that the paparazzi are kept at bay, he hates the fact that he doesn’t have journalists badgering him for quotes and hangers on trying to sell him watches or get tickets off him.

What he really, really wants – apart from a zig-a-zig-ah! – is to be at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas HQ instead, where it can take players hours to get out of there as they run the gauntlet where mates of mates of mates of mates of the president grabble at them, kiss them, and take photos and pretend to be their best pal ever, while journalists, encaged behind the bars, reach at them like madmen in an asylum.

That is what he wants. After all, Madrid’s current players love it. Which is why Robinho has spent the past year leaving out the back window.

Ronaldo unfazed by Fergie words

Real Madrid target Cristiano Ronaldo has reacted to Sir Alex Ferguson’s declarations over his future by saying he is used to facing pressure.

Manchester United manager Ferguson affirmed on Tuesday his star man Ronaldo will not be leaving Old Trafford this season, and the Spanish press have asked the man himself for a reaction.

The Portugal international is currently in his homeland, recovering for ankle surgery in Lisbon, and did not show any sign of irritation when questioned by the press on his way out of the clinic.

The 23-year-old revealed earlier this summer his desire to join the Spanish champions, but his employers wish to keep him next season.

When asked to comment on Ferguson’s declaration, Ronaldo told Marca: “I am used to facing the pressure.”
