That seems like a cheap price honestly
Those people must be liverpool fans!

It's hilarious how no-one will touch him.
Seriously, what awful thing has he done to his teammates, do you think?
I'm thinking it's making them feel bad about eating pudding for dessert, and they want to get back to that.
I have literally said multiple times I want him gone. I think he is not very good anymore and him being famous doesn't help us (might help the Glazers earn a few quid). I have literally never even insinuated we should keep him and would let him go even if we didn't sign a replacement.
I would call talking about something without actually reading the posts beforehand a mare.
I am purely arguing the fact that he is extremely famous because it is a fact and people have reacted very weirdly to that statement.
He is too famous.
My mum who is not a fan of football knows Cristiano Ronaldo. The Brazilian one with funny hairstyle she said.
So you're right. Almost everyone knows Ronaldo. But that doesn't mean they refer to the same Ronaldo.
He isn't more famous than Tom Cruise.
That massive gorilla that plays drums on the song is top notch too
How's this thread turned into an argument over if Ronaldo is the most famous person in the world or not!?
When will we realise that nobody will touch him if we want money too? If we want rid, we're going to have to bite the bullet.
What are you even saying at this point? There's a much bigger consensus that says Jordan was the best basketballer of all time than there is about Ronaldo being the best footballer..
Because someone decided to start comparing players and clubs which makes no sense.
Come on, it's not an outrageous thing to suggest Ronaldo is the most famous person in the world. He's up there.
Tom Cruise is in Scientology.
That Ronaldo is one of if not the most famous people in the world.
Literally the same thing I have been saying the entire time without a single person providing a single argument of substance and just getting upset for god knows what reason.
It's PR misdirection from the club. I'm annoyed seeing this thread constantly at the top of the cafe instead of ones about incoming transfers.
I mean, it's working to get even me engaged despite my objection to it. Effective emotional manipulation
There are two big problems, we probably need to pay him to leave and Joel Glazer will probably refuse to sanction that kind of move anyway.
He is so famous that he made scientology famous. You can't say that about Ronaldo and United.
If Ronaldo so badly wants out then he honestly can't expect a penny from us. That's how it will have to be.
The Rock would surely be more famous then those above, famous star who embraces social media and has fame from wrestling too.
Just a shame being famous doesn't equate to a fountain of youth and being able to play like you are still in your 20s.
You just made a point about who out of the two is regarded as being the best in their respective sports and said it was Ronaldo over Jordan. That's complete baloney.
Finding a club is the hard part
Basically mate you speak a load of shit and if Redcafe had reactions you'd be getting alot of dislikes for your opinions.
Ain't that right Keith @The Firestarter
He is. What you guys are failing to acknowledge is that Ronaldo’s fame stretches across the globe to even the poorest and most pulverised nations. People in the most desolate and poverty stricken places in countries like Burma, Sierre Leone, etc where they would have had almost no exposure to Hollywood are far more likely to have heard of/know Ronaldo than someone like Tom Cruise.
So yeah Tom Cruise is probably more famous in America but I severely doubt he’s as known as Ronaldo on the planet as an entity.
I would say Putin is probably the most famous/infamous man alive today. Most of the almost 3 billion pops in China and India knows him, some worships him. Probably everyone except infants in the western world knows him as well
No. He is more famous among younger generations but that's about it. Wrestling isn't popular in most places and people over 40 are still alive.
No, I didn't. That literally never happened.
This is the same as the other poster saying I am arguing to keep him because he's famous.
If it helps you, I believe a lot more people believe Jordan is the best of all time in his sport than those that believe Ronaldo is in his. I also don't think that really matters and in 20 years time if a really well shot documentary with a bunch of behind the scenes footage of Ronaldo's career and his involvement is released then it will get huge attention.
Living up to your username here.
You believe George Clooney is more famous than Dwayne Johnson? In 2022?
This is like the twilight zone
It’s not just generations though. People in poorer countries are more likely to have heard of footballers than movie stars - especially given that football is by far the most popular sport on earth. All the generations you’re mentioning are to an audience mostly based in the best western world.
This team should grow some balls and stop whining. How about winning some damn matches and see how that affects morale?
Just had a bust up with McClaren after the game and walks around with a face like a slapped arse for the bantz
I'll say Putin, Beyonce, Queen Elizabeth, Justin Beiber and Barack Obama are above Ronaldo. Ronaldo is very popular more so than Manchester united but he isn't the most popular human, no chance!
Read what you said happened then read my post.
Do you think what I am saying is that Ronaldo is better at his sport than Jordan is in his?
I would argue with The Queen, Beiber and Obama.
In fact Trump is more famous than Obama (probably says something about the internet but I won't get into that). The Queen is interesting because it's a position as well as a person. Anyway that is definitely a more current list than George Clooney and Phil Collins so wouldn't argue too much.
I'll give you a fairly simple example in french speaking Africa, on TV you have/had access to foreign games mainly through Canal Horizon which is the same package that gives you access to american movies and TV shows. So here the key point becomes the timeframe. Then it's also worth mentioning that in Africa people have VHS, DVDs and USB of movies and they watch them a lot.
Some of you are acting as if poorer counties are culturally detached from the west, that's completely wrong.
