Yeah, don't let the door hit your arse on the way out you ungrateful little prick, and don't come crawling back when you get benched at FC Franco.
 
It said he was speaking to a Brazilian newspaper, as in the reporter from it was at a press conference.

If it was a press conference that the paper said was yesterday, we'd have heard something by now.

News doesn't take an entire day to filter through...it's 2008.
 
Im on their website, Its not on the main page, not even on the small headlines in the main page. Surely it would be a huge exclusive thing if it were true?

If it was at a press conference yesterday, SSN would have been doing roving reports all day from there repeating the same stuff every 5 mins.

I know, I edited my post.

You'd have to admit it's a bit more definite than anything else we've seen though.
 
He's not that much of a cnut to make it ALL about the money, he can lie you know. :lol:
 
Manchester United must face the real possibility that Cristiano Ronaldo has played his final match for the club after the Portuguese winger publicly declared his intention to join Real Madrid at the end of the European Championship.

Speaking from Portugal's training camp in the Swiss city of Neuchatel on Wednesday, Ronaldo made a keenly awaited statement on his future. The 23-year-old stated that he wanted to leave Old Trafford to sign for the Spanish champions if they made good on their promises of world record transfer fees and wages. Spanish media reports have placed the value of a Madrid offer to United at €100m and the player's salary at £15m a year.

"I want to play for Real Madrid, but only if it is true they are eager to pay me and Manchester United what they have been saying they will," said Ronaldo in an interview with the respected Brazilian website Terra. "However, it does not depend on me."

The issue of Ronaldo's future has been the dominant feature of Portugal's European Championship training camp, overshadowing the team's preparations and seeing questions raised about the player's state of mind. Hoping to prevent inquests at national team press conferences and post-match mixed zones, Ronaldo insisted that he would not speak about his choice of club again during the tournament.

"It is important to send a message," he said. "From now on I will not talk again about this until the end of the Euros. It is not worth asking me because I will not reply."

United have repeatedly stated that they will not allow Ronaldo to move this summer, but the club may now have to improve the five-year contract they agreed with the forward in April 2007. Given the scale of Madrid's offer, the player can expect to comfortably exceed the net €10m that Michael Ballack receives from Chelsea each year.

That looks completely fake. Some of the words and phrases used don't sound right at all.
 
I could make a quote about a player in Brazil along similar lines and put it on my 'news site', and nobody in Brazil could prove I was making it up.
 
If the quotes are true then I guess it's bad that he says he wants to go to Madrid.

On the other hand he's leaving the power in Uniteds hands. Madrid would have to offer huge money and United would have to accept it. If Madrids offer is a lot less then it had been claimed (a world record fee) then Ronaldo can say that Madrid were not as eager as they had claimed and he is happy to stay at United.

I'd be interested to see what Madrids offer was. I bet it will be a lot less than had been speculated upon as they have big debts just like United do.
 
if thats the deal that Real are offering then, IMHO,he should go... because it would ruin that club....

Imagine the contact negotiations with THAT as a benchmark!!!...... without success in europe they would go down the swanny....

either that or its an attempt by them to get man utd to negotiate a huge wage increase with him, in attempt to have the above happen to us....
 
Fact is, the article states these comments were made yesterday.

It's not possible in the modern era, for such big news on a hot topic to go unreported to the world for 24 hours.

We'd have heard about this straight away, if it was true.

Still, Ronaldos being a fecking cock with his behaviour on this matter.
 
Sorry Ronaldo, Fergie/Gill will never sell you this summer. So you must stay at this club who won the league and european cup.
 
He's gotta go...no player is bigger then the club, and if Barca or Milan or anyone else come up with a better offer, we should to them and not the Franco pricks.
 

Strange outlet for such a big exclusive.

Also strange that any footballer would be so blatant about being financially motivated for a move. No mention of his "dream" to play in white, or anything like that.

Finally, worth bearing in mind that, just because a story has a quote doesn't mean it's not bullshit.

This story doesn't really change anything.

Even if it is true, this whole sorry fecking saga is going to drag on all summer and he'll still end up at United next season.
 
No mention of MARCA in the article. Don't call me a muppet. I don't look on it as Gospel. Just something to share on here. It's just a report that's out there and I saw it hadn't been posted before. Not in a UK paper like the Telegraph, normally on the ball.

wtf!? Did I say bahamared - you're a muppet. No, I did not. Of the following replies only you took exception to my comment. Obviously you get very, very touchy when someone says muppet. Interesting.

btw,

No mention of MARCA in the article.

Marca say that Portugal national team coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has already spoken to his star player about the transfer at their Euro 2008 training camp in Switzerland and has advised him to move to the Spanish capital, although Ronaldo is being urged by the Portuguese football federation not to make his decision public until after their opening match with Turkey, so as not to distract the side.

seek an eye doctor. :)

That is true and it seems like its only the Guardian that's really carrying the ball with these stories at the moment in this country. But we all know that he wants to go to Spain and that he would have no qualms about leaving this summer. No matter what he says or doesn't say over the coming weeks, the story is only going to keep perpetuating itself and eventually we may all lose the will to live. The only thing that we know definitively is that its his dream to play in Spain. I don't think we could ever command a larger fee for him than we can at this moment in time, so I'm really inclined to feel that we should sell him.

When has he ever said that?
 
People on here really are starting to become very gullible. Just because a quote is inside some "s doesn't mean it is true. For example "I want to move to Liverpool because they were huge in the 80's" said Ronaldo
 
Cristiano Ronaldo come back it say that the Brazilians, for him, healthy "family". The attacker already was twice in the Country and want to come back. "I have great relation with the Brazilians, I liked very of the journeys that I did for there and I am going to return soon", concluded.
Anyone know what the feck this bit means?

Cristiano Ronaldo has finally made a decisive statement on his future and it is the news that Manchester United have feared, with the 42-goal forward declaring he is ready to join Real Madrid.

Ronaldo’s future has been hotly debated ever since the conclusion of the Champions League final with Real and his parent club United indulging in a very public battle for the Portugal superstar.

It appears that Real’s constant courting of the PFA Player of the Year has now paid dividends, with reports in Brazil claiming that Ronaldo has confirmed he wants to move to the Bernabeu if the Spanish champions are willing to follow through with their salary promises.

It has been reported that Real are ready to pay £100 million for the player and that wages of up to a remarkable £300,000 per week could be on offer.

"I want to play for Real Madrid, but only if it is true they are eager to pay me and Manchester United what they have been saying they will," said Ronaldo in an interview with Terra. "However, it does not depend on me."

Ronaldo’s desire to leave Old Trafford is a huge setback for Sir Alex Ferguson given that the former Sporting forward has been United’s outstanding player for the past two seasons and is widely regarded as perhaps the finest player in world football at present.

A move to Real has never been far on the horizon though with even the player’s mother claiming in January that she wanted to see her son amongst the star retinue at Real Madrid.

While his declaration is likely to spark a frenzy of reaction in both Spain and England, Ronaldo has attempted to draw a line under the matter for now by claiming he will not speak again about his future until the end of the Euro 2008 finals.

"It is important to send a message," the player added. "From now on I will not talk again about this until the end of the Euros. It is not worth asking me because I will not reply."

Real must now attempt the unenviable task of agreeing a fee with United, but the English champions are vehemently opposed to seeing the player leave and Ferguson claimed recently that the club’s owners would rather see Ronaldo rot in the reserves than force through a move to real against the club’s wishes.


Good luck with your heart guys. Don't wank too much.
 
Sorry, the second part of that isn't anything he said, you're right. But its something I think deep down most people feel. If he had the chance to go now then he probably would.
That's the problem with this whole thread. It's just speculation. We don't know if he wants to go this summer, we just assume we know what he is thinking. Fact is, he said right after the CL that he wanted to stay. That is good enough for me. This whole speculation bit is being made by the press.
 
So says google translation:


Cristiano Ronaldo returned to say that the Brazilians, for him, are "family". The attacker was already twice in the country and wants back. "I have great relationship with the Brazilians, like most of the trips I made there and hope to return soon," he concluded.

So I guess we can assume that this is the real 'story' they got and they added the rest on?

I agree with No. 7, surely it would be all over if it's true?

I am also gutted that my only knee-jerk post in this whole thread ended up at the top of a page.

Cristiano Ronaldo admits desire to go for Real

Direto de Neuchatel (Suíça) Direct from Neuchatel (Switzerland)
Relaxed, but worried. Cristiano Ronaldo wants to close down speculation about his future, or at least defer them until after the Euro 2008. With calm voice, the Portuguese craque, which currently has the contract with Manchester United, England, decided instead to allow its willingness to transfer to Real Madrid, Spain.

"Yes, I would like to play at Real Madrid. This is true whether they are willing to spend on me and with the Manchester United what they say. But that does But know it extrapolated, passed the limits and already uncomfortable within the concentration of Portuguese selection, in Neuchatel, Switzerland. In interviews with other players, for example, there is always at least one question about the future of Cristiano Ronaldo.

"I think mandar an important message. As of today, I am not speaking about this with absolutely no one. I only come back to talk about it after Euro. No more advance ask, because I will not answer", warned.

In last Friday, he had said that "in two or three days all know about his future." The statement today shows not just the next step that will be taken by the player. But is that Portugal until the last close of the participation in European selections.

There are no interviews scheduled by the Portuguese Football Federation with Cristiano Ronaldo to debut in front of Turkey. After the game Saturday, so the intention is it not more talk with journalists about the possible transfer.

Cristiano Ronaldo returned to say that the Brazilians, for him, are "family". The attacker was already twice in the country and wants back. "I have great relationship with the Brazilians, like most of the trips I made there and hope to return soon," he concluded.
