Which is bollocks.
Yeah what are the chances the Croation press will get the exclusive? 
The truth.
Will Cantona come back to United and take over the helm?
He wouldn't even bother with a defence!
Excellent... the rate is increasing. We're now on for over 18,000 posts across 450 pages by the end of August - and that's presuming the rates doesn't keep increasing exponentially, in which case we could possibly break the internet!
If either part of the deal that's been quoted (the wage or the share of the image rights) is true it'll cause uproar which is why I'm doubtful that Calderon can actually deliver it - unless United sold him at a knockdown price.
Cantona tells Ronaldo : United will be great with or without you
The Old Trafford legend is convinced United needn't worry about losing the Portuguese international - insisting they can dominate even if the double footballer of the year moves to Real Madrid this summer.
"United is one of the biggest clubs in the world," said Cantona. "They have been winning, are winning and will continue to win things generation after generation. They will always win whoever they have playing for them."
The simmering saga over Ronaldo's future continues to cast a shadow over United's summer.
The 23-year-old 42-goal winger has promised to make clear his future after Real's much-publicised pursuit of him.
Chief executive David Gill yesterday refused to add more fuel to the Ronaldo debate but revealed he is almost certain to miss their pre-season tour of South Africa.
"Our position is clear," he said. "Alex and myself have stated it in the last week or so and that is all we are going to say full stop.
"Whether he is on the tour depends on how Portugal do in the European Championships.
"The Euro 2008 players will come back three weeks after their team is knocked out when they've had a holiday."

The story everyone is currently requoting, including that Hungarian one I guess, comes from Marca. They've even got the cheek to put it in the Real Madrid section of the paper.
http://www.marca.com/edicion/marca/futbol/1a_division/real_madrid/es/desarrollo/1131585.html
Basically it says Ronaldo has told United that he wants to move.

Can you imagine the other Real players sitting back and accepting him earning that much more than them? It will cost them a fortune in wage increases and to be honest I'm very doubtful even Real could fund that deal.
Yeah, MARCA seem pretty sure about this. They say Portugal want him to delay an announcement until after Portugals first game in the Euros.
You see all the spastic Madrid fans posting "Welcome to paradise Ronaldo!" underneath the story.
I don't know. I'm starting to think that Ronaldo really will go through with this and kick up a stink until United are forced to sell him. We could really do without all that drama.
First they say he'll make an announcement within a couple of days (that deadline has passed), then they say it'll be later this week. Now they say after their first match. It's simple really, everytime they have a Ronaldo story on their website they also have a line that sends the readers to buy the paper. That's all it is. A marketing ploy. They want it to drag on and on.
Forgetting all the soap opera bollocks, I want to see Ronaldo sold for @£75 mill. This is nothing to do with Ronaldo or Madrid, just that I think we'd be better with Messi and Huntelaar. It's good business, 50 for Messi and 25 for Huntelaar. Don't tell me Barca would never sell, 50 mill is a hell of a persuasion and Laporta could do with it. No 75, no deal. Tell Ronaldo/Calderon to get working on Barca/Messi/Laporta. When we've got that, he can go and I'll wrap him in bows. Yes, please!
the master plan
I can dream. Won't happen because the bastard won't go. Just out of interest, give me a reason it wouldn't happen.
1. Messi would rather play in italy, Inter and Moratti have been after his signature for a couple of years now and there's a strong Argentine presence at Inter.
2. Barca won't sell their best player!
3. Even if they sell Messi, they'd only do so if they can bring in a good enough replacement. Why do you think we don't want to get rid of Ronaldo? because he's irreplaceable. If Madrid get Ronaldo, they're happy. If we get Messi, we're happy, If Barca sell Messi and don't get a player of similar quality, they wouldn't be so happy.
I think first of all, if he is thinking of moving he's taking his time as before he spoke without thinking.
it would take a brave person to say after everything they think Ronaldos staying because there is an unrationality to his behaviour
I was bothered at first. But really nothing has changed. Ronaldo might eventually speak out and we'll hate him for that, but calderon has made the same speech 3 times now, they've told him to speak out and so far he hasn't.
So i sit here and think, is that logical? If Ronaldo was so despirate to move....him not speaking out is just as unrational surely
But anyway, you never know what's going on behind the scenes Facinating stuff

You would also expect Jorge Mendes to have said something.
United have played this very very well. Even if behind the scenes he does want to go, by steadfastly saying he won't be sold in any circumstances United have made it difficult for Ronaldo to come out and say he wants to move to Real. If he does that and United still won't let him go or Real can't finance the deal he's stuck with what will probably be the worst year of his life, getting abused by his own clubs fans.
At the moment United's poker face seems to be doing the job.
I would also add that given what they have repeatedly said, if United sold now there would be uproar and Gill and Fergie would have made themselves look at best fools and at worst down right liars.
He might be staying. But it might be against his will, and sulking in the reserves for a while.
Think he's off now tbh
But we must move on, buy the new Ronaldo.

If we don't know for sure, then why are you so sure he's staying.
Now deal with that.
I'm 100% sure he'll be playing for a top European club next season. Or Real Madrid.
Now deal me in.
The Daily Express: Real Madrid are reportedly prepared to offer Manchester United ace Cristiano Ronaldo an astonishing £300,000-a-week after tax to move to Spain.

That won't happen. I don't for a minute think he is so unhappy that he won't give his best for the club if he is made to stay.
Since many on here think Nani is the new Ronaldo, shouldn't we be buying the new Nani, to replace him when he goes to Real Madrid in a few years time? Although where we are gonna find the new new Nani is beyond me.
these (toilet) papers are having a competition to see which one can sell more stories on this
See, I just don't believe that. Madrid apparently hold all the cards. They're in spain and apparently Ronaldos 'dream'....-is sick-
So why would they have to offer so much? To tempt ronaldo into taking?
It doesn't make sense to me. As usual, bullshit. They can't even afford the transfer fee...they could never pay such a wage. It would not bode well in the dressing room either.
That wee exchange pretty much sums up the level of insight shown in the last 10 fecking pages of this thread.
And yes, I'm including my own contributions.
he's 100% staying
ps: Well maybe 99%..

Big deal...
No you right this Ronaldo guy is way overrated....
