Not even that. If you knew you weren’t liked by your colleagues and you saw them talking about you behind your back (the supposed leaks); would you really go out of your way to high five them? You wouldn’t. You would think they were all snakes.
And we all know Ronaldo doesn’t hide how he feels about things. So him being positive with them while not definitive he’s not toxic, is a pretty good indication that everything is alright.
Having a media circus around the club is never good for the club and team's harmony. It doesn't mean they don't all get along. They are colleagues and friends after all.
Yeah... nobody wants a guy who scores goals and was the top man united scorer last year
Sometimes I think people don't watch games, just read what the media writes.
This is great, you're writing as you know him in person.
Well tell me then, how come he hasnt left?
He was a top scorer yes, in a year in which we scored fewest goals in year.
Another fan I reckon?
Like everybody else in this thread?
And how is what I wrote indicative of that? I’m obviously referring to his on field persona and how he communicates and interacts with the press.
Your conclusion based on the video is that everything is all right. From few high fives.
This is pretty much it.
He just isn't compatible with our squad on the pitch or with the way we want to play.
The drama around him does us no favors either.
I bet most of the questions in todays conference will centre around Ronnie, even though he's unlikely to start.
Good god people. Is this the Love Island thread? Or a family WhatsApp group?
This is the football part of the forum.
Yup. It's so fecking tiresome.
This will end on deadline day with Mendes offering to pay clubs to let Ronaldo play in the Champions League for them.
And even though I’m not being entirely serious, this is probably along the lines of what any club with a remote interest is thinking too.
Hang on in there, Maccabi Haifa.

I actually think you got something. I actually think his ready play for free, or even pay the club, as long as any club in CL wants him. But NO club wants him their dressing room, period.
This must one of those transfer sagas that goes down in history as one of the most anticlimactic ones. Actually feel a bit sad form him. With that rich of a career behind him. Why don't just hang up the boots instead and call it a day.
Italian papers name Napoli but also Sporting again because their CL poule looks a bit weaker. Maybe Ronaldo waited all this time for the CL draw. I still think most teams don’t want him, hopefully the deal with Napoli goes through because that would be the biggest chance to get rid of him.
It's not so much about him being toxic in the dressing room, but more that he has completely undermined the new manager. He barely turned up for pre season, so what sort of example does that set?
It's clear that we play much better as a team without him, and I don't think his ego will allow him to sit on the bench here, only starting in the Europa and League cup!
Hopefully he goes to Napoli and he scores a few goals against Liverpool in the group stages.

You fot that mental image? Should we be worried?
Now, quickly, someone with photoshop skills, put Erik's face on Jack's "here comes Johnnyyy" bathroom photo from the movie.
Re read my last post. I said it isn’t definitive of him not being toxic but it’s indicative of a normal working relationship.
It’s the obvious thing to do in that situation, get it out of the way and let them move on to the next person. It says absolutely zero because if there is a major issue with him dragging down the mood I’d absolutely do what all those players do, particularly with all these cameras on me. To claim otherwise is just absurd.
No different to any other of our pressers since Ronnie has been here
It's like Pogba. Well liked in the dressing room but still deemed a virus. It's possible to be ill suited to the team and also fit in at the same time.
This is where I am at. Its clear to everyone with proper functioning eyes that the way Ten hag wants to play simply doesnt match the type of player Ronaldo is, but that doesnt automatically mean he is a poison in the dressing room.
On 1 September, he will say that he has stayed with the club of his heart despite many great offers from big clubs.
Seems like this is all dependent on a CL club losing their starting striker first to put them in a position to sign Ronaldo. Maybe that or a big injury but his options look few and far between that I'd expect him to stay.
Didn’t Ten Hag say the other day that Ronaldo still had a role to play / will still play matches etc?
I loved the guy, but now I adore him even more.
It would be a gift from heaven if this guys fecks off to Napoli and Osimhen comes the other way around.
No, I'm not psychic like the little kid in the movie. I wasn't having a vision of the future, hopefully.
Also, negativity on forums and social media draws greater attention to posters than being positive about something. This is why historically there has been such a disparity between what former teammates and managers say about Ronaldo (overwhelmingly positive, professional, obsessively hard working etc.) and the self reinforcing negativity from a contingent of the (mostly online) fan base.
I have no doubt he means it as well, but it'll have to be on his (EtH's) terms and following his instructions, meaning Ronaldo might not also be a de factor starter. And I'm not sure Ronaldo is keen/ready to accept such a role, let alone not being in the UCL.
It's more like the clubs who can afford him and where he'd like to go (Bayern, Chelsea as an example), don't want him and the clubs who might be interested, cannot afford him.
Couldn't care less if he's toxic or not. Just get him out of the club.
Can you honestly read? Or you’re doing this on purpose?
