Money can't buy friends or stability.

His son looks 8ish, you have to ask how he'd adapt to moving to England. Also his girlfriend has 3 babies to look after - I doubt she'd like that upheaval. For what would be 3-4 years, I don't see him putting roots down in England.

He doesn't have to move his family. It's just a job. Thousands of people works all over the world, doesn't stop them from having a family.

I'm not saying i want him here etc. But for the rich and famous many things has become. Trivial. They go to first class international school, which isn't too shabby.
 


Rough translation from Google:

1. Manchester United has activated the plan 'The Return of Cristiano’

2. It has the approval of Mourinho

3. Very expensive operation (200 million + -), assumed by the economic return in marketing

4. They have the pressure from Cristiano to leave the RM

Is this guy reliable @carvajal ?

Sorry but I just don't understand some ofnthat comments I'm Reading...how do you not want Cristiano Ronaldo back playing for us?

Set aside the Money Issue, let's talk about him..

He's not even 33 yet, and you've got Robben and Ribbery on the Wings for Bayern still doing a Job.
The guy Is in Peak condition, probably got the Body of a 28 Year Old.
He can play anywhere along that front 4, Ryan Giggs was still more then Useful at 40, probably could of gone on 1 maybe 2 more Seasons.
The Boost Ronaldo would bring to the Team would be Insense.
While he can be effective as a Winger, he could be a Deadly number 9 for another 5 Years, Get him! At all costs!

Well, people make fun of him in Marca, for selling too many stories, but he is well known and not among the worst.Besides he´s very pro Cristiano
He insisted a lot with De Gea to Madrid on the summer of the fax .

Ok, thanks.

The prospect of him coming back is interesting, but with his age and how much he has regressed + the massive amount such a transfer would cost, i can't see why we would do it. Probably just the Mendes leak machine that has started to get him a new contract from Madrid.
 
Truth is he needs to accept wage cut and be at a Juve. That could work out for him
 
Seems like the Story of the boy who cried Wolf. All these year, CR7 with no intention used United to get better deals and we were played along. Now he really wants to come back, and seems like we wont be interested at all.

The opinions can change very quick in both sides. I wouldn't bury him yet.
What if he scores against PSG,Madrid go through and later he plays a decent World Cup.
His competitiveness situates any club to another level.
Thinking that Van Dijk costed 85m€ to pay 120/140 for Cristiano doesn't sound so bad.
He would earn a lot but I'm sure United could make it partially profitable.
 
Still a great player, but don't want him anywhere near this club.

His prima-donna attitude makes me cringe every time I see him throw a strop after a keeper saves one of his shots.

Definitely don't think he will be at RM a lot longer, as they will bring in newer, younger galacticos, and I can't see him being comfortable with being marginalized. I could definitely see him ending up in Serie A. A little bit of a slower league where he can use some of his tricks and still occasionally blast past a player.

Oh trust me, i have learned not to write this guy off. He is still a class player and could easily go on a crazy goal streak and win another Ballon d’Or, for all i know. :lol:

I just don’t see Mourinho having a player in the team who do zero defensive work, unless he plays him as a striker, but that would mean Lukaku out. Maybe in a 3-4-3 with Cristiano, Lukaku and Alexis it could work.

Let’s see what happens.
 
This ship has sailed, Ronaldo has had chances before to return to United, but not anymore. He is almost 33 years old and would command at least a £90m fee, plus his wages, just can’t see it happening. He is contracted with Real Madrid until 2021 and wanted to extend that last year, so IMO it sounds like we are being used again in order for him to get a new contract, how many times is this now???

@Vialli_92 would kill himself :lol:

His wages and transfer fee shouldn't be judged like a normal player's. More than what he'd add on the pitch, he'd add a lot to the value of the club marketing wise.
 
Have the people who want him back seen him play this season, or last, for that matter ,barring about ten good games? I'm not discrediting his champions league run but we don't have the system to facilitate his goalscoring the way Madrid can. My point is without chance after chance ,Ronaldo, as proven this season ,quite simply isn't worth the money. I can't see him being anything but an utter failure back in the prem and I don't know if his ego can handle that. Furthermore, the absolute state of this club if we buy a depreciating asset who gave his peak to madrid for more than they paid for him. Inflation yadda yadda...

What would he do if he came? Would he be threatening a move back to Real if we don't give him a pay rise next season? Let him go to Man City and let them think they've got one up on us.

Oh yeah it does, it would be an awful kind of business.

I have no doubt Ronaldo will continue to deliver after his current slump for a couple of more years at least, but we will not be the stupid club to finance your upcoming rebuild. €120-140m on top of a huge signing on fee and wages north of £500k a week, you're having a laugh here mate for an almost 33-year old, no matter what he has done in the past.

Him scoring against PSG or having a decent World Cup would change nothing, it's expected. After all, he is still Cristiano Ronaldo. Point is, this is him wanting more money from your club and at the same time your club looking for ways of parting ways with Ronaldo to receive money for your rebuild. We've done bad deals in the past, but we won't be that stupid in this case. This ship has sailed a long time ago.

Agree this sort of deal doesnt make sense to me unless we are really out of ideas with regards to future transfers.

It helps their rebuild and what does it do for ours.... much rather we spank on Pjanic or Dybala or another amazing player in their prime. I hope this is a load of nonsense.
 
None of our other ex players would get away with doing this every transfer window.
 
There's not a single fibre in my green and soft muppet body that wants United to sign him this summer. Not even for free*.

*£1,2m/week + £12903m SOF

None of our ex players are one of the world’s best players either.

He’s an insufferable twat, and obviously it’s not happening, but at the right price I’d take him back.

No club's making a profit off him after giving him €40m a year after tax

Still, i don't get the people claiming he's still got another 2-3 years at the top but don't want him. Why wouldn't you?
 
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 847 times...

This time around the difference is that I'm not sure many here would even take him.

Not for me. Not at this stage of his career and the signs that his game is diminishing.

If he wants to come and play for free then of course but no point lining his pockets at this stage of his career.

The problem with Ronaldo/Real there is no right price to begin with. No way in hell he's going about above 100m. Even 50m i think thats too much and surely Real cannot accept less than 100m which is just United and PSG can afford that number.

Its 3 years too late now. Unless he comes free i doubt Jose will entertain with the idea to sign him.

He wouldn't shit our system

We don't create many chances for our strikers to score so he would be wasted with us

I'd just like the opportunity to watch Ronnie in a United shirt again. It's rare to be able to have a truly world class player at your club, one of the greats. He's also a massive big game player and we need some of those, last few seasons he's had a quiet first half to the season and then blitzed it when it really matters.

He's 32, soon to be 33, but when we signed Ibra most people said "why didnt we sign him a few years ago!". We have the chance to sign Ronnie, ok he'll be at the end of his career but he's a physical beast, he scored 42 goals last season ffs.

Fair enough. You'll probably find yourself in a minority. I'd like to see us some how locate and acquire the next Ronaldo (or Aguerro or Pirlo etc). Time for some breathtaking scouting work.

We have enough projects, we have Martial and Rashford. If we're seriously wanting to challenge Manchester City for the title next year then Ronnie is a must buy imo. I don't think it will happen in any case.
