yes but for what price? I would take him for 45m but 60m pound is insane, he'll be 30 next year.
Maybe I'm just an old romantic but I think he would turn down City even if they offered him the most.
That is perhaps true but still, it would be an absolute nightmare if he went to City.
He's 29, not 39 and he could still be one of the best forwards in Europe.
As for money, I suspect it isn't Ronaldo or defenders. I suspect a centre back will come in in January anyway.
I'd rather he was wrong about Ronaldo.
I'm happy for us to pay obscene amounts of money for Di Maria and Falcao, but Ronaldo is history. Maybe PSG can give him that last huge retirement paycheck.

I thought we were past caring about fees? We want quality. Ronaldo's return next season alongside a quality centre-back and one or two further midfield reinforcements is feasible.
So Ronaldo is not happy with the fact that Madrid are contantly buying and selling players. Not sure what to say about that.
<p>Calderon stirring the pot again, as he had done in past summers when this rumour came up, just to get back at Perez?

Shirt sales, and marketing would make it worth it at £50-60 million, just imagine front three of Di Maria, Falcao, and Ronaldo, the exact the same front three Madrid could easily have had this year.
If he does come back.... Ummm...not sure what shirt # he'll be given..
It doesn't matter. We're not exactly short on attacking talent right now and I'd rather give chances to Januzaj, Pereira and Wilson then have Ronaldo waltz back in, demanding a huge paycheck and stunting their development.
Besides we have a shiny new no.7, and hes just marvelous
Seriously, the fact some of you wouldn't take the greatest player on the planet back is astounding.
He isn't just a 30 year old though. He's apart of the footballing elite (by far in the top 2 or 3 players of the last decade) and an established United legend. Someone who both on and off the pitch would live up to that "he'd make your money back straight away" cliché. He's the only player in the world I'd pay top money for at that age. He's like the Terminator. He'd bury the Premier League for at least another 4 years.
Imagine if he signed for United again? I honestly couldn't imagine the hysteria from our fans. A lot of things make sense about this deal.
Don't disappoint me now Ballbag, you've been so good for us this summer!
Messi used to play for us?
Nope, the current Ballon d'Or holder did.

If you want to win things you need quality - and he gives you that. He's arguably the best player in the world, the type that can win games on his own. Every team wants a player like that.
You might get all excited because of yesterday as if titles are guaranteed but the reality is we might need more.
And for me, you don't not buy a player if Ronaldo's quality because you might have some decent youth players. That kind of attitude is what's got us where we are now. 99% of those players won't ever be good enough.
As it is it isn't star players or young players, there is room for both but the fact is we need to be competing for the top prizes and a player like Ronaldo is likely to help us do that. Hopefully we're back in the top 4 this year next year there should be plenty of games to give youth a chance.
Time to move on, in my opinion.
Barely any of that Champions League winning/final side are still here.
Time to create a new chapter.

I'm not ashamed to admit I'd cry if he ever returned as a player.
I want Pogba back more than Cristiano.
Why do this to yourselves every year.
I would rather have Bale than Ronaldo for that price.Which would be more beneficial as well..
He has been very bitter towards perez since he has left the club and never misses an opportunity to stir up some controversy. The video Kid Moyes posted with Balague is a much better source, although Balague was quite adamant last summer that 13/14 would be Ronaldo's last year and that he was not going to sign a new contract and was running down his contract in order to force Madrid to sell or so that he could go on a free once it was up (there was two years left on his contract last summer). Tbh I hope this is true and that he is considering leaving as hopefully it will wake Perez up and he will realize the faults with the transfer policy and how utterly ridiculous the transfers in and out of the club were this summer. If Ronaldo leaving does not wake him up then nothing will. It is good that our biggest player is speaking out about it.
There is a romanticism about Ronaldo coming back 'home' that adds to it all. I'd be all for it regardless, he's the only player on the world who can be compared to Messi for a start.
Imagine Di Maria and Ronaldo playing out wide for us? unreal.

And we have to pretend his massive wage is nothing? I just don't buy it, 60m transfer fee + 65m 4 years contract, for that price we could find a next Ronaldo, 5 years younger.
Financially, I don't think it a good deal, if 30years old Ronaldo is really a cash machine, will Perez really want to sell him? But whatever, it's not like I'm strongly against this transfer, LvG'll have the final call.
You're transfer policy did deliver La Décima though, as much as it has been ridiculed it has worked?
I was tired of his histrionics and all the other unsavory antics that come along with him when he was here.
Personally, I like the look of the squad we're building without him and I see no need to tear that apart to accommodate him and his ego and the price tag that comes with it.

Who is that though? you're always taking a risk buying players who 'could' be top class, yes wages of course but fully expect one of Rooney, RvP, to go, or Falcao not to be bought is we got Ronaldo, so that saving would cover the majority of the wage.
If i'm not mistaken, Ronaldo would count as one of our homegrown players if he were.tl return under current regulations?
I would personally, Ronaldo back though would be amazing, he'd singlehandedly win us the league, your talking a 45-60 goals a season player - How long would you get that level from him though, 3 seasons? He's beast of a athlete though so may well still be at the same level for another 5-6 years before there's a dip.
Pogba though we'd have the best young talent in the world who could potentially be here for 10-13 years, he's the type of player we should build our team around.
If Ronaldo was available the club would snap him right up.
Would be beautiful
Would be beautiful
Yep, won it ahead of the greatest player of all time who was injured for half the year.
I'm aboard the Ronnie train now, it can't be stopped. Choo choo mother f*ckers.
Some right attention seekers in this thread sprouting nonsense about not wanting Ronaldo back because he will "apparently" stunt younger players development. 
Why on earth would you not want the current Ballon'dor winner at your club? Not to mention a former player and United legend! He's 29 years old in his prime and with the way he takes care of himself, I can see him scoring 30-50 goals a season for another 5 years easily. We can easily accommodate him by moving shite out of our squad such as Valencia, Young, Anderson etc etc, not to mention the fact that we have make our squad bigger anyway for next season (Assuming we get into the CL of course) This makes a lot of sense, he'd also be a money making machine for the club to milk, apparently Real Madrid have made over £200million because of him.
Real Madrid splashed a €70million world record fee for a 29 year old Zidane, the next season a 30 year old Zidane won them the Champions League. Ronaldo is arguably already a better player than Zidane at the time.

Everyone saying he's the past and he's history etc don't go back, look at cleverland and lebrons return, it's just an epic fairy tale we should embrace the prospect and watching rawk go into even further meltdown
Who'd have guessed that spending around €500m net in 10 years would win you trophies
It certainly took City a while before it worked.
