Christiano Ronaldo - NO current rumors

No thanks, would cost far too much, we could use that money to improve far more pressing areas in our squad and if this season is anything to go by, he's beginning to decline. If he isn't scoring a boatload of goals playing with the talent Madrid has, I don't see him doing much better here.
 
Be hilarious if it turned out he had been trying to come back to us pretty much every window for the last 3 seasons and we were just constantly turning him down.
:lol: Turns out all was agreed post-SAF, Ronaldo was keen but Moyes wanted to bring in Pienaar instead.

we aren't retirement club please, he can feck off to china if he still wants huge paycheck
 
I'd take him with a SIGNIFICANT discount on wages.

That won't happen, so it's a no go.

He's no longer worth the wages he wants. Nowhere near it.
 
You think you can just steal our best years away from us and just come back?

I'm putting the word out. Five hundred grand for this clown dead; a million alive, so I can teach him some manners first.

Stealing the Joker's line though :lol:

I'm sure he would restructure his wages wherever he moves as its highly doubtful that he cares about wages this late in his career since he makes a hell of a lot of money outside of football.

Maybe. I doubt he'd return though. Though his time at Real looks numbered.

Is that Isco, Bale and Benzema from left to right? No wonder you're struggling to score goals this season. You've replaced them with dummies.
 
In today's market, he is easily 100M worth player even at 33 and even on off form. Because of his age, he might lose some attributes, but there are things like anticipation, heading, shooting skills which he will hardly lose. He might not be in hot form, but he still is an exceptional player.

And because of his commercial pull, I am sure he will find clubs drooling for him and will easily offer him one of the highest package.

However, once he left us, I never wanted him back , not even in red hot form, let alone now. Besides, we have our new number 7 - Saaanchezzzzz!!
 
We could have 2 polls here.
How many take this article seriously? and,
How many would want him back.. not for the nostalgia ride, but as a first teamer on high wages?

I'd happily have him back for his final season.. normal wages, doesnt expect to start. A lovely goodbye... but at this stage, no thanks

It's like that really fit girl in school, she was in the same year as you but dated older guys...

Saw you as 'cute', but never long term boyfriend material, cuz you weren't flashy enough, rich enough, loud enough.

You asked her out, "do you fancy going for a drink?", her answer, "only God knows", before giggling and walking away.

You saw her around from time to time - always looking beautiful.

Then a number of years pass by. You get serious with your work, you get focused, you're looking forward, your ambition becomes more serious.

You go home for the holidays and bump into her... only, she's a shadow of that girl you remember now. She's aged, and her vanity has prevented her from reinventing herself.

She's married to a fat, garish businessman who has a penchant for women in their mid 20s - yet she's now getting into her mid 30s and it's obvious that her loud, brash husband will soon be wanting away...

You, on the other hand, have the look of determination back in your eye. You're a man on the up, reeking of aspiration - a special one.

She's looking for attention, and has become so out of touch with reality that she believes the dynamic between you is the same as it always was.

"This place is so polemic, do you fancy going somewhere else", she whispers...

Her misuse of the word 'polemic' once charmed you, but now, not so much.

"Nah, I'm alright" you answer politely, noticing a gorgeous 29 year old Chilean babe across the room smiling at you coquettishly.

Your old crush takes her famous 4 deliberate backward steps onto the dancefloor, "you wanna dance?", she's pleads desperately.

"No", you reply, and then looking her right in the eye, you state firmly, "I stay".

She stands there looking puzzled as you walk past her and begin chatting to the beautiful Chilean brunette who's been making puppy eyes at you all night.

You get home and can't stop thinking about the Chilean beauty, constantly checking to see if she's messaged you yet...

Your mind is racing - 'What about that other guy who was chatting to her? That bald guy who kept telling everyone how happy, happy, very happy he was', he was handsome, yet oddly twitchy. Who would she pick?

You check your messages again, hoping for an update - '1 New Message', you open it excitedly, but much to your dismay, it's from the old crush...

"Hiya handsome, do you wanna make my husband jealous!?"

You cringe as you read it, embarrassed at her utter transparency. You don't even bother replying, you have other priorities right now.

Just as she did when you adored her, all those years ago.
 
It seems to me that it's always AS that starts the saga. It won't happen.
This is like a yearly headline for them, the lying muppet feeders!
 
I´m pretty sure Madrid would sell Ronaldo for €120-150M right now, and no way they will they raise his salary. Combined with 33 year old Ronaldo thinking he should be paid as much as Messi either by Madrid or his new club, that Madrid re-build might not be so easy and they might be stuck in a holding pattern of mediocrity (by their standards) for a while.
 
Every year I repeat I hope we're not silly enough. His representative's constant use of the club's name like this is pathetic.
 
Maybe if he came on a free on 200,000. But his wages would greatly surpass our highest paid player, and the fee would be approaching what we received from Madrid in the first place.

Basically, get fecked Ron. It's pretty funny that even PSG are stacked going forward now. The clubs he's traditionally used to throw his annual sulk all have better options. Where can he realistically go after Madrid in Europe?

What the hell did I just read! It's practically a harlequin romance novel.
 
Some of you make it sound like he briefed the press himself about United. :rolleyes:

He apparently wants to go because he's unhappy about his wages tho...
 
For the first time since he's left us, i actually don't think i want him. He appears to have just hit his wall
 
Real are not going to be able ship him with his astronomical wages for any sort of fee

Maybe someone would take him on loan or free to cover his wages. No one is going to pay a fee to take on that sort of financial liability at his age and recent form.
 
Only way he'd come to United would be with a very low transfer fee. Wages we'd pay - would be a short contract anyway.

He'd be another Zlatan type in the squad. Wouldn't be the worst idea but paying a stupidly high transfer fee is a no go.
 
The guy has enough money to ensure a comfortable life for the next five generations of his family. He has also kept pace with Messi, won multiple trophies and personal accolades and in my opinion has nothing else to prove. I think he should go to AC Milan for a few seasons and see if he can help a European giant get their shit together. He still has it in him to dominate in a league like Seria A.
 
As reporting Flo told Cris if he wants to leave, he just needs to bring offers to the table
 
Honestly they make it out like this is more and more likely each year, but he's not leaving. At the VERY LEAST, only start to get excited about this if there is news about fees and contract talks, how much Ronaldo could earn at United etc. It happens every year and until you see him in a Manchester United shirt or hear him say he wants to go himself, don't believe it.
 
Didn't Messi just get a pay raise at Barcelona? I heard that he's got 40% of their wages. So of course in unsurprising fashion, Ronaldo "wants to come to United" after hearing this news.

It's definitely for the Madrid contract.
