Sacrificed Ruud? He wanted to leave.
You're just bitter that you're username is obsolete.
Of course I agree he hasn't denied a move ; I've been saying that all along. But you don't agree the media has gone way overboard?
Personally, I think they've gone mental. fecking bunch of loopers. We'll see what happens.
No way did Ruud want to leave, he even stated afterward that he was planning on finishing his career at OT, but the bust up with Ronaldo forced him out. The same Ronaldo who is finding it difficult to come out and say "I want to stay here at least another season and defend the title" What a circus...
It was supposed to be a bit of satire. I probably shouldn't be surprised it wouldn't go down well in thread full of premenstrual posters, though you are a pretty decent poster most of the time to be fair.
Not like us on here, eh? What a shining example we are.
Come on Count you're a clever guy, he's said things that indicates he'll stay, and he's said things that indicate he's leaving. And has been pointed out, he said the former after our Champions League triumph when emotions are high, his speak has changed markedly since then. It appears his remarks about directly saying "I would like to play for Real Madrid" have been verified, and he certainly has made it clear he has some kind of decision to make even though his future is essentially out of his hands with the 4 years he has left on his contract
Feed Me is being a bit extreme and emotional, but I indentify with him entirely. Ronaldo is pissing us all off at the moment, he could have kept silent on this matter, and instead he's stoked it. He's treated us all pathetically to be honest, and partially taken the shine off what should be a summer of glory basking
Well, reports say he asked to leave three times I believe, beginning on the day of the cup final against Arsenal, and Alex Ferguson on the Frost interview directly claimed that Ruud wanted to leave from the point he signed a new contract, he had no intention of staying on longer than that
I thought his attitude stank. And Heinze's. There's a common theme developing here...
To be fair, Beckham was a bit different, I think he has a good attitude, but he let the media side of his life get the better of him. There's no way a United lad through and through would want to leave the club
Of course he wanted to leave. His ego couldn't handle sitting on the bench.
"He wanted to leave the moment he signed his new contract." Those are SAF's words.
Yeah, if Ronaldo really wants to leave there's little we can do. But I still think he wants to stay and has just got carried away by this hype. In the Frost interview, Ferguson said Ronaldo was an intelligent bloke.I'm not too convinced by that.
Intelligent enough to be enticed by 300K a week.
Face it. The boy's a foreigner plying his trade with his employers. He has no obligation to stay with Manchester United for the rest of his career. Yes, he is grateful, but at the end of the day, he has his own preferences, and want to try something different, play in a different country etc. Shouldn't really begrudge him for that. What i am most concern, is that should he leave, Real Madrid has got to really pay the premium fee for him. I would expect nothing less than 80mil pounds, considering his on-field brilliance, and his immense potential marketing. David Beckham was allowed to leave dirt cheap, and should something similar happens, the management has got to answer for it. If Real Madrid want our best players, we have to play according to their rules and make them weaker as a result. I say we go for something like a 40million pounds, Cassilas, Ramous and Robinho. Something on that scale, but not necessary that.
On the contrary, if Ronaldo wants to leave, there's plenty we can do. Like enforcing his contract so he can't go anywhere. He's essentially powerless for the next two seasons, if we wish to keep him, he's staying here like it or not. By the point his contract is down to two years left, if the player won't sign a new deal, that's when you might be forced to sell in such a situation else risk getting less than the player is worth in a transfer deal. But everything is in our court as thing stand
so this is it, this is how United are going to pay for Benzema 
Seriously..
Why not just loan him to Real for a month or so?
He and his family get their dream..Real get to sell shirts..and we et to keep him!
Win, win, win situation??

seriously, eh?
True on the face of it but if we sat him out for an extended period it might go to courts and as was posted earlier the majority of decisions tend to go to the employees.
So now everyone seems sure hes off.
I haven't read the last few pages, but has everyone made this judgment based on his alleged comments to "respected Brazilian website tera" or has he actually come out and said something?

Gabriele Marcotti should be on BBC Fivelive tonight. He'll probably be on for a preview of Euro 2008 but he has good contacts on the continent so they are bound to ask him what the word is on the grapevine.
Isn't that what the fellow and his family want?
Basically he wants to just score a few Golasos with his Galacticos...
Once he reaslies the fickle twats that Real are after he misses a game without scoring and out come the white handkerchiefs, he'll come running right back to us.....
I have never understood the appeal with that club..
In years back they were legends. Not so today.
Gabriele Marcotti. That sounds like a great way to end speculation
I am pretty sure all of us know what hes going to say.
I don't think the sidelines thing is realistic Bahama, if he stays, I'm sure he'll still give his best, and that Ferguson will play him. I'm sure he has some professional pride, and he'll want to keep Madrid interested to a point in time where his sale is more realistic
Unless he claims he was under duress or something when he signed his last contract, I can't see what the courts could do anyway. I'm sure United don't agree to contracts which indicate a player must play X% of games in a given season
I know...and so were those cnuts from Merseyside, yet you don't see every player (thankfully) wanting to play for them..
Ronaldo must see what's happened to the likes of players who've gone to Madrid in recent times and how the club's treated them like absolute garbage....
The least he should do is lookout for his own career...
Right now we ARE the best team in Europe.. We have the best younger players in the world with Rooney, Anderson, Nani and himself..
An Awesome backline. A manager's who's made Ronaldo who he is today..
A stadium with the highest average attendances in Europe, whereas Real can't sell out until and unless it's some El fecking Clasico match even though they've got a bigger stadium.....
Madness really.
I just wonder if things haven't gone too far for Fergie already. He's a hard man.
If anybody has any doubts that Ruud wanted, in an ideal world, to stay with us, just watch, in case you hadn't, his press conference when Real Madrid first signed him.
The body language and his tone of voice says it all. He was heartbroken. He'll always be a legend in my eyes.
Trade ronnie to barca for messi and eto'o. We're still okay, and Real get proper fecked.

It's not like i said Guillem Balague.
Where the hell has he been in all this by the way? You'd think SSN would have him undercover at the Portugueee training base or doing hourly reports from Madrid or something.
I'm off to bed. I expect to have 20 pages to read through when I get up. The bullshitometer might increase. Can't see the Ronaldometer changing much.
Still on page 92 after 2 hours ? FFS!!!
As for Ruud, perhaps if he'd not thrown his toys out of the pram more times than Kevin Keegan calls it quits, then he would have stayed.
Our flourishing since he left is both because we no longer play static football funneled through one predictable man, but also because that man no longer is disruptive to the other players. Sadly, Keane seemed to become the same way at the end.

Ferguson not welcome here, says Ronaldo.

Media bollocks
We have a Ronaldo thread.
Those posting Ronaldo crap and making us merge all of this rubbish every few hours are going to get infractions for it.
Its a very simple rule, honestly.

Tabloids recycle crap from that Brazilian site or something... this was always going to happen when Ron was at the Euros. He doesn't have that United protectiveness around him that do well to ensure he isn't hounded and goaded like he is over in Switzerland. He's quite an impressionable lad, but he's really not helping himself here and the fans don't have a short memory.
Whether he stays or goes this summer, this will be a common reoccurence for the forseeable future whilst he's a United player. This is going the exact same way as it did with the WC06 situation, lots of heresay etc. etc. but when it comes down to it, Sir won't have his hand forced.

What a bullshit article. If Scolari wants him to be settled then why did he himself come out earlier and said Ronaldo should seriously consider going to Madrid? way to settle him with that.
Anyways if the latest report is to be believed, then Ronaldo will say nothing more until after the Euros. This thread should be locked as everything that comes out will be tabloid bullcrap with dodgy inside sources.

wha loads of rubbish, the Times are pathetic to cme up with this shit.
80M pounds, and Robinho and Sneijder at least, as we can get a free kick taker again, and a real winger. That would provide us an interesting option in the midfield to replace Scholes too. I don't go for Casillas, but if he can be in the deal, then I'd say 65M and Casillas, Sneijder and Robinho.
Ronaldo leaving soon has been on the cards for a long time... i dont know why most people on here couldnt see it. He's not from Manchester, he's not a Man Utd fan, and he's unfeasibly arrogant. Great footballer, yes. But as other football fans (non Man Utd) have known in this country for a long time, he's a a bit of a cnut
