Cristiano Ronaldo (I stay)

We should be shipping out Ronaldo because it’s what’s best for us. Not because this man child is throwing a strop. Hopefully we are all over trying to sign a striker and wide forward to bolster our options. And then, once secured, we just let Ronaldo walk on a free. Couldn’t care less if it’s at the end of the window and his options are limited. feck him and everything about him. If he stays, he’ll bang in a few goals, but disrupt the team and locker room harmony, create a constant circus, and just generally derail our season. I genuinely cannot wait until he’s firmly in our past and we never have to talk about this narcissist ever again.
 
Yep players arrive in their own cars... Here's an example of them arriving by bus, there are numerous others posted online if you wish to look. I don't know how they got there today and I don't have any evidence of how they arrived today only where the entered the ground.



Please feel free to trawl through twatter to get how exactly he arrived.

The old shop is just off Sir Matt Busy way, the players do not arrive that way, they come on down United Way. The shop is white, the building he's supposed to be walking away from the ground is not the old shop as it's the wrong colour and in the wrong part of the ground. I did not state the shop was the same building, you're a tad confused.

Good to see the cross section of fans on here are not the same as the fans there.
 
No idea who was asked. Both Hirst and Jackson just said "United" declined to comment, so whoever they go to for official confirmation of things I guess?
I see. Well, it's a bit odd that they'd decline to comment.

I suppose it's possible that the person simply didn't know the details (there and then).

In general, it's probably not a good idea to go with the "no comment" approach for anything Ronaldo related at the moment. It will - obviously - lead to speculation.

I wouldn’t waste my time commenting either

Its no one else’s business?
 
He really needs to go. I don't want to have this shite every week when Ronaldo doesn't smile at someone or whatever. It's always all about him, and the focus now needs to be on the team.

On another note, against Atletico there was a player Reinildo, and every time the announcer said it, I was thinking Ronaldo had created a new line of women's pleasure toys. I'd like to pitch this idea to Ronaldo, if anyone has his number, thanks.
 
Any body language experts?



Never mind the body language, why has somebody added that fecking awful song over the top and why have they edited the grass so it’s blue?

But yeah, on the larger topic; Ronnie out. But only if we can find a replacement. We don’t have enough players to be picky at this point.

That’s not his fault is it though, if people want to read into every snapshot and micro interaction that’s on them.
 
He should go on the basis that he will leave in a year anyway, and he won't suit the playing style we want. He'd be a great option off the bench, but he won't accept that understandably. Why shoe-horn him into a playing style we are trying to go with if he'll be gone within a year anyway.

Mendes needs to work harder to find a club who wants him.

But the press will use it every week to beat us with, and every article will focus on the perceive/real negative feelings in the dressing room. Not to mention this place will be full of those stories. He just needs to go.
 
In the second part of the interaction with EtH it's very non commital agreement... sort of yeah, yeah. Very little direct eye contact and rapport between the two.

CR7 is going through the motions.
Could also be that they were both upset at the same things.
 
Looking at Ronaldo body language when ETH trying get the message doesn’t bode well. Ronaldo is definitely gone, I don't ETH will play him again and Ronaldo will quickly find himself a club. Hope we got a striker identified, I don't trust having Martial as our main striker.
 
It seems unlikely he’s left without permission.

Still baffled as to at the Caf is bothered though tbh

Come on, it's fairly obvious.

It's Ronaldo, he only cares about himself and he just took a whole month off to holiday, sun himself, post insta stories of himself working out and whore himself around Europe to make sure he gets back in the CL next season. He wants his 20 seasons in a row, another CL title and he doesn't want Messi to beat him to the top scorer.

Yeah the press always has a stick to beat us with. We can’t control that, dont read that shit. Feel like our fan base has become so melodramatic hanging off the every word of journos etc. these stories wouldn’t be worth writing about any other club.

Well said, it is so frustrating knowing that we have an exciting manager that could possibly take us forward and he has got to deal with Ronaldo, his ego and obsession with his own personal achievements, it`s bullshit. We just need Ten Hag and a squad of players that are all pulling in the same direction.
 
It wouldn’t avoid the stories though would it? People would still write what they wanted.

It’s pointless engaging with it

The journos will always find something to spin into a negative story - sure.

But in this case they apparently asked someone directly about a particular incident. In my opinion, it's not the right approach to say "no comment" to that. If United had stated plainly that ETH was aware of it, had given Ronaldo permission to leave, etc. - then the likes of The Times wouldn't have gone with the "angry Ronaldo leaves early after sub" angle.

The journos will obviously take "no comment" as confirmation that Ronaldo is completely unsettled and has a problem with the manager.

I repeat, though, that I have no idea who they asked and in what form. Perhaps that person had no choice but to decline (to comment) there and then.
 
Keep seeing people saying we should just let him go instead of forcing him to stay but has any club actually bid for him? Obviously the reason he's come back now is because no one else wants him.
And if he's here we'll have to play him because the only other option is Martial
 
So people are still calling him a cnut etc. Those sorts of immature people i don't have in my life for good reason
 
Complete side point, but i was pretty shocked to see this

In 2021, Ronaldo made £41m just from Instagram. It’s nearly double what he made from football. He makes on average £971k per post! That’s mental :eek:

But he is the one wanting him to stay. People seem to be forgetting that. If he was a burden to the manger, the club could save 2m a month and let him go

There doesn't seem to be any genuine interest from clubs that would suit Ronaldo.

If there had been, I doubt very much that ETH would be up in arms about him leaving.

As it stands, he has to find some way to work with Ronaldo.
 
I thought that incident was from an attack Chong was giving him sass for not squaring it. ETH's assessment will be all that matters tbh. If he feels Ronaldo is too big he will move him. If that exchange follows the worst case interpretation his disciplinarian style getting waved off in front of players will shatter his authoritarian image rather quickly.
 
For what it’s worth, I noticed a couple of interesting things today sitting in Stretford End.

First, when he came out and gave us a little wave, it seemed a tiny bit sheepish. Sort of like if you’d made a tit of yourself on a night out but had to greet your mates or colleagues. That’s the vibe I got, could have been totally subjective.

Second, I’m seeing some journalists saying he didn’t get booed, it was just ‘Siuuu’. That’s utter bollocks. There were plenty of people booing him although due to the nature of the crowd being young ‘the announcers being on about 1000 local schools’ or whatever there were more cheers. Also a few attempts from various to get ‘viva Ronaldo’ going but it didn’t really take off.

Honestly, from what I saw, Amad looked a bit brighter than Ronaldo and Garnacho was head and shoulders better. He wouldn’t be a big loss if we can get a goal scorer in.

Yeah saw a picture and didn't look good
 
Shame but he can go for me. Only issue is no one wants him so likely he'll remain next season, which is going to be a massive blow to his ego.
There's not "no way back" for him, look at Kane last season, or Rooney back in the day when he ended up signing a new contract. Players will forgive and forget just like they did with those, and others. But he shouldn't be automatically back in the starting 11, he needs to earn his way in, Martial has done enough in pre - season to be given the nod and Ronaldo needs to wait for his chance.
But again, if someone does want him, I'm not at all fussed if he goes.

You need to put your thinking hat on or at least find it first. You may have left it at the pub.

Do you think ETH or even Arnold would publically say that they want him to leave? What do you think that will do to his transfer fee? They spend £14 million bringing him back and then pay him nearly 500k per week. Do you not think that the management wants to get some change back on that investment?

You just need to follow the FdJ transfer saga to get an idea of how these things work. What they say is sometimes the opposite of what they mean or want.
 
This thread has become a microcosm of how much of a distraction and disruption it will be to the manager, club and team if he stays.

He is clearly bigger than the manager, and at this rate, with the way the club are acting, them, too.

There is no way he will toe any line, so unless things go well, he'll turn our entire season into the Ronaldo show, and that won't be the Prime documentary type; more the Patrick Bateman.

This.

He is by far the most followed person in the Instagram, of course he would make a lot of money from it.
 
It's embarrassing to see some people saying this guy must fight his way back to the team full of bang average footballer. It's Cristiano feckin Ronaldo the Goat himself , do me a favor
I don't care. New season, clean slate. He's been here doing his job and putting in the effort
Pre season Benzema , a striker version of Andreas Pereira. Reminder, this guy is not even good enough for Sevilla. Should have been sold long time ago when Mourinho wanted to get rid of him. This is also the same guy who runs away from pre season tour under Mourinho but didn't get half the hate Ronaldo is getting these days for doing the same just because they don't like the manager.

And you then wonder why he thinks he is bigger than the club? He has to protect his social media status at all costs even to the detriment of the club.

And how different is he from Becks, another social media star. Night & day.
