He's an arrogant, young lad who understand his appeal on and off the pitch. He loves the media attention and he knows what he's doing by keeping quiet about the whole thing except for a few quotes which can be easily taken out of context - in fact I don't even know if the quotes we see on these bullshit websites are real!
I do think that he's already told the club he's staying though and that he's waiting on a new contract, which is ridiculous for somebody earning that much money. I would eat nothing but shit 9-5, 5 days a week if I earnt half of what he earnt in a week. I also think the 2-3 week statements were because he's hoping for a contract and I'm sure he's been in touch with the club about it. It takes weeks to come to settle on a contract, it does with every player. The reason for the wait may also be the fact we're trying to seal transfers quickly and giving Ronaldo a new contract isn't a priority at the moment as he's still contracted for another 3/4 years.
It's disrespectful to Manchester United and I love the club a hell of a lot more than I like Ronaldo. Like many people have said, he can be replaced. We've replaced many great players in the past, including players arguably better than him.
However, at the moment I think people should lay off him until something comes from the horse's mouth in the coming days/weeks. You know fine well if this had happened mid-season when he was scoring for fun you'd be defending him.
P.S. Please for the love of Jesus H Christ can you stop getting wound up at fecking rehashed news articles with stories from a close insider. Really, grown men falling for bullshit journalism is ridiculous. Newspapers are all copying stories from each other.
P.P.S That's the longest post I've ever posted I reckon
