Have a feeling the club will let him go. Expect that in todays meeting he doubled down on his desire to leave, hence Mendes being present.

ETH wont want Ronaldo there if his heads not in it. That's my guess anyway.

The problem here is not what Ronaldo wants, but that he doesn't have many options available to him. It's all good and well saying you want to leave with 5 teams fighting for your signature but how are we going to sell him when no one wants him.

Or does he just want us to terminate his contract ?
 
Wouldn’t Madrid take him back?

Hoping he stays though

A mutual breaking wouldn't be a bad idea but it should have happened a long time ago if it was what either side want.

go where, nobody wants him. I highly doubt were blocking him leaving with all the reporting that very few (if any teams) want or can afford him. he's got a huge salary wage and you know mendes is going to take his cut of things.

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.

It's been reported from the very beginning that he doesn't want to leave Barcelona and doesn't want to join Utd. Everyone is assuming that he wants to join Utd only because we are still actively trying to sign him. There is literally nothing else to suggest he's interested in joining us.

Exactly.”

Of course not, but the prior argument to this is about who is being more admirable, but not necessarily who is being better. Haaland and Mbappe are just some good examples against the notion that Messi is far more admirable than Ronaldo among players etc.

Admirable so what? Probably saw more of Ronaldo than Messi in their younger years given the popularity of the Premier league.

Anyway the only admirable things about Ronaldo is his dedication to his craft. Other than that his attitude is shite, he is as egotistical/selfish as they come And his football lacks the artistry associated with other all time greats. Essentially he is an athletic goalscorer who is unremarkable in other facets of the game.

Then it seems even more bizarre why he has arrived at Carrington wanting to leave when nothing is lined up.

That's the one element of this fiasco I don't understand. Even the Madrid papers like AS and Marca are pretty clear nobody is in for him. The furthest they'll go is say Atleti will try and clear its decks to make space for him.

If Ronaldo had offers on the table and was pulling this stunt you could at least understand it. However, say today the club tells Ronaldo: 'Ok we will sell you. When can we expect a bid to come in?' Mendes would not be able to offer any clarity because, as of today, there's nobody in for Ronaldo.

Well, that’s not my argument, it’s claimed by other, and similar to you, I am only responding to it.

Why the heck are you on about next season though?

He'll be here 1 season more maximum surely.

Because the post that you replied to was Chief discussing the theory (With another poster) that United were going to allow Ronaldo to go on loan, trigger an additional year clause and take him back the following season?

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.

Without wanting to point out the obvious, he would still be 38 for two thirds of that season. He doesn't automatically become 39 the moment the season starts like some of you seem to think.

I’m pretty sure everyone realises that all players don’t have their birthday on the first day of the season. :annoyed:

Can you point out where anyone said that he would be 39 at the beginning of that season please? Especially me.

I was just clearing up what was obviously a misunderstanding.

No need to be so defensive?

I assumed that was a non-salaried position. Regardless, let's not pretend there isn't a strong argument that says Fergie shouldn't be involved in footballing decisions anymore. It's been ten years and the man is 80, FFS.

He would actually be a formidable substitute, bringing a fresh Ronaldo on against tiring defenders in stretched games could really work well.

Why can't Ronaldo see this? If peaking during the WC is so important for him then he should play no more than 6-7 full games plus 3-4 substitute appearances (out of 16 games) before November. There is literally no sense in gaining more mileage on his legs.

The post you quoted said " We should in no way be looking to trigger that extra year. He’ll be 39"

He won't be, he'll be 38 at that point. Indeed he would become 39 yes, two thirds of the way through the season.

It's academic because he'll be gone before that but it's been ridiculous over the past few weeks reading this forum and the posts of "he's 38", "we shouldn't be building around a 38 year old" every 5 minutes. I don't disagree but he also isn't 38. People are just adding a year on for no apparent reason hence my post.

Ronaldo will never accept to be a substitute, guy cries when he is substituted off the pitch on the 85th minute.

An 80 year old man is the president of the United States.
 
Let.him.go but it's a shame that Ronaldo created this shenanigan without any club lined up that actually want to sign him.

This is the biggest ego, drama queen and toxic football player ever known.

I didnt take it like that to be honest. I took it as that he would be hitting that age during that additional season contract extension.

When Salahs contract was being discussed it was about how if he signs a 4 contract extension that Liverpool would be paying a 34 year old 500k per week so it's a bit risky?

It's just how football contracts are discussed. Your age at the beginning, middle and end is taken into account.

It's not exclusive to Ronaldo.

Two certainties on the caf - poor numeracy and and an insistence that correlation IS in fact causation.
 
Ronaldo has completely embarrassed himself, he has no dignity, it seems he still plays for some CL numbers, so pathetic.

I cant believe this glorious club is related to this man. If our club was serious Ronaldo shouldve been freezed out and got sold to anyone.

Unlike him, lets grab some pride and lets sell him for any price, just get rid of him already.

Nah he's reportedly on about £2M a year.

I never said it was exclusive to Ronaldo, regardless of the player it doesn't make it any less ridiculous. I'd get it if a player signed a new deal a week before their birthday but when you're discussing a player who'd be the younger age for the vast majority of the season it's bizarre.

Salah's new deal was a three year deal signed a couple of weeks after he'd turned 30, so it covers ages 30, 31 and 32, so yeah mentioning him being 34 would be incredibly odd to be fair.

I'm obviously referring to speculation on offering him a 4 year deal previous to the 3 year extension, not the actual deal which was signed.

It was a theoretical example;

I've never claimed that Ronaldo is 38 when he is 37. Or 36 when he is 35.

He will be 39 mid season IF united were to offer him a contract extension (which is what was being discussed) but if you don't think that it's ok to highlight that it's fine.

IMO he poster was factually correct to say that Ronaldo would be 39 in that season (if a contract offer was extended and accepted) due to the dates of the contract and my comprehension of linear time.

I only highlighted the original conversation because the another poster asked why he was saying he would be 39 when I thought it was clear, due to the fact it was in the original post he replied to.
