Cristiano Ronaldo (I stay)

Good cover story but I'd find it harder to believe Fergie won't have a conversation with him if they're both in the building at the same time...
Maybe but SAF was reported to have arrived an hour after Ronaldo, so there’s probably some credibility to this report that he was there for a board meeting.
 
In a way, it is a bit disturbing that people try to force trauma on someone else. I get that people think that they are being compassionate but they are not.
 
A hard working, versitile forward who presses well and is excellent at link up play and scores goals?

I think he would suit us a lot better than Ronaldo does currently.

Once again, there isn't a position for him in the starting XI. It won't work because we already have Bruno. Secondly, he doesn't score goals anymore, he scored like 3 last season and he's picking up more injuries. You're stuck in 2016. The current Griezmann is past it. Stop going off "names" and actually watch the players you suggest for transfers.
 
You build your team around peak Ronaldo and Messi. You don't rebuild a team around guys who will be retired or irrelevant in a few years.

I have to believe that we aren't still stupid enough to bow to someone like Ronaldo.
This :lol: unless that interview/article was from a decade ago, I can't believe anyone would be so stupid to think it's the same for a 37 year old.
 
SAF coincidentally there like when he had that suit fitting at Carrington when the pressure intense on Ole.
 
Thanks for clearing that up, you guys really must have a great relationship with him and his wife to know all that. You are two very lucky people.

I was stupid to think that something so trivial as losing a child has had any bearing on the mans decisions about his plans for the rest of his time in the game.

I guess it really is all just about him and his own personal quest for more glory. Nothing more nothing less.
After all that rambling, glad you came to understand.

When I saw this quote lower down the page, I thought it was referring to Nkunku. Them I saw Griezmann :lol::lol::lol:
If we are going to swap Ronaldo for anyone at Athletico Madrid, it should be Felix.
 
Ronaldo will walk out today without the 25% reduction and probably a new raise on top of that.
And club will spin it as absolute win.
"There were many offers but we didn't budge. Money isn't an issue, Ronaldo is best player in the world, people at the club always value him as such. Everyone rejoice!!"
 
Yeah it’s nonsense but I guess this theory works if United did trigger the option of the 2nd year as reported.
The sooner we can get him out of the door the better. We should in no way be looking to trigger that extra year. He’ll be 39 and it will be poor planning from our side if he is still the primary option.
 
This what I got from twitter:

“In the end #mendes will ask utd to loan ronaldo for one season so he can play ucl and UTD should finish in top four in PL So RONalDo Will come back and play for utd again
If utd fail to finish top four then the loan team will buy ronaldo..

That is the real outcome”

There would be a meltdown if this happened.
Whatever the outcome, I really hope we don't end-up paying any part of his salary if he doesn't play for us this season - if he can't find a club to pay him the same wage as us then he can take a pay-cut. I had zero expectation of a transfer fee anyway, but don't want us to lose further money on him this season if he isn't playing for us.
 
Papers are gonna have a field day with this meeting...the possibilities for BS is utterly endless!

Fun times ahead for ETH, feel sorry for him.
 
Bringing him back was a mistake. He's way more trouble than he's worth at this stage, even when he doesn't want to leave.

We would have crushed out in the group phase and finished 8 in the league without him so it wasn’t totally a mistake.
 
I hope he goes to be honest. I don’t see him fitting the new style of play.

That being said. If no fecker wants him, what choice does he have. Bring his agent all he wants

Yep players never go through ups and downs in form.
 


Absolutely a losing proposition when talking about a 37 year old...

Maybe when he was still 24-33 but definitely not now. The game's moved on from teams being built around individuals too

He's 37 ffs!

Or Ole would have continued his "defend and counter " and got us top 4. Football doesn't work like that !

We really don't know. We just had our worst ever premiere league season with Ronaldo as our main striker. There isn't always this simplicity to football.

Wth is going on today??

Has Keano been invited too? :lol:


Why is Ronaldo driving a left hand side steering wheel car in the Uk?
 
I mean... we're still actively pursuing Frenkie De Jong with no alternative
I am sure that FDJ did tell that he would like to play for United, but needs to make sure that he is paid what he is owed before he leaves. As for Cristiano's situation, it seems very likely that the player wants to leave and is ready to undermine the pre-season. To me these are quite different situations.

That’s a very simplified way of looking at it.

We also experienced a huge drop off in performance from players around him who had previously produced a lot better output in goals and assists. We would also have had someone else playing instead of Ronaldo such as Cavani who would have scored plenty himself. All ifs and buts.

Agreed with most of your statement but Cavani was injured most of the season. Ronaldo’s presence had no impact on that. And nobody could have foresaw what would’ve happened with greenwood so we would’ve been extremely light in attack.
 
This whole saga is just odd, I find it crazy that Ronaldo's camp are really doing this without having any potential suitors lined up.

I've seen no suggestion anywhere that we intend to hinder his move, much less block it entirely. We've maintained a position in public that he's not for sale, but that's just common sense. The biggest problem he has right now is the fact that no one is particularly interested.

It is absolutely crazy if all the noise coming out from his camp is true. What boggles my mind is that he wants to go to Atletico of all places and in the process burning bridges with us as well as Real to an extent. And on top of this his last ever World Cup is literally around the corner! Instead of angling for a silly move, pissing literally every United fan and becoming a meme in the process, shouldn't he just be focused on being at his best on the pitch when November comes around?

I do think there is truth behind the claim that us not being proactive enough in the transfer market is one of the reasons as to why he wants to leave. But if he's doing all this purely for another half a dozen Champions League goals... Jesus.
 
Considering they are being offered by a cnut who sympathises more with Pogba's injuries than a man losing a child. I think I'll pass on those, but thanks for the offer.

Instead of being a cu....

Think about how the loss of a child can trigger a lot of changes in your life. It's an immense life changing experience. But unless you've actually watched someone deliver a dead baby and held that baby and go back to a home without that baby, you will never know. I was stupid to think that something so trivial as losing a child has had any bearing on the mans decisions about his plans for the rest of his time in the game.

Maybe he wants to go back to Madrid, where his wife/partner lived before they met for other reasins. Or maybe it's her that wants to move closer to home as it were, maybe she needs that comfort of a support network of family and friends. Thanks for clearing that up, you guys really must have a great relationship with him and his wife to know all that.

Oh, grow up and stop insulting members that don't agree with your point, as you come across like a child throwing its toys out of the pram when reacting like that, as it makes the site look like it is use by fools who can't offer up a decent argument when nothing could be further from the truth.

You keep banging on and using his child as the reason, are you a psychologist, as do explain how he was able to play out the rest of the season and now suddenly it's an issue ? And I hope posting this link is allowed, as you might want to go through a few pages, as this looks far from a woman suffering depression as you try to make out "that needs a support network".

What is this cafe obsession with adding years on to players ages?
