Id take that deal any day of the week and so would United if they got offered it. He's a global superstar we'd make a huge chunk of the 60m fee back in no time through merchandise and advertising. Im actually amazed that some people wouldn't take this deal to be honest we are talking about arguably one of the greatest ever players.

Agreed.

I don't think it would even be a decision for Fergie.

I think he'd even be tempted if it was a Rooney + say £30m deal for him.
 
What the fecking shitting hell are the fecking people on this bloody forum talking about?! Rooney and 30 mill for ronaldo? fecking give me a break. Infact, why the feck would we fecking throw away de gea and nani and apparently an amount of money just for ronaldo. He is fecking massive but give me a break ffs!

Well the 30m wouldn't matter we would make that back just off his name, so it comes down to swapping Rooney for Ronaldo and im sure there would be plenty of people (me included) willing to do that.

Obviously the story is bullshit anyway but there's not many players in the world I wouldn't swap to get him back here.
 
He left us once without looking back so why the feck would we throw money at real, if he wants to return so bad he will force his own move.

one person said that you plank ...

Some would, you wouldn't. I wouldn't personally sell Rooney and I don't believe Sir Alex would. It's all hypothetical. However, I think Sir Alex would go for it but it's risky. Players get wind and some risk losing faith. It's not easy. Ronaldo can play forward and wing so Nani isn't really an issue since there's no comparision in terms of consistancy. De Geas a different matter.

Yeah we should just let Ronnie negotiate his own transfer, I hear hes quite an astute negotiator. I reckon we'll get him for a pack of sweets and a mars bar.

Or he can sulk like the whiny little bitch he used to be which could lower the fee.

But don't forget his final seasons performance, during which he wanted to leave, earned us a world record fee
 
A lot of players have moaned and got their wish to move clubs, I love ronaldo for what he did for us and still do and all im saying is that I dont think we should throw tons of money and players at real just to get a player who imo shouldn't have ever left.

Do you loathe winning trophies?

I don't want a former player who made it so clear that he didn't want to be here, to return at the expense of a potential goalkeeper who could give us over a decade of service, and become the world's best, and one of the best wingers in the world. If anything Ronaldo will be the one who ends the season trophyless.
 
I'd take him back in a heartbeat and I don't understand how anyone would not feel the exact same, but it'll never happen.

One of the best wingers in the world? Nani?? That can go with the other stupid comments in this thread! Nani is currently trying to get an unrealistic pay rise at this club and won't sign until (reportedly) he gets the £100k+ / week he feels he deserves, which I don't believe he does.

Ronaldo gave his all for the entire time that he was at the club and I don't think we could begrudge him going to Madrid following his service and performances when be played for us.

I'd take Ronaldo back, but not at the expense of them 2. We have done alright without him.

Interesting post. So you'd accept 'alright' over the success we had when he was here? I agree that we've done 'alright' but there has been room for improvement and Ronaldo would certainly offer that.

The cost of the transfer could probably be offset as it would undoubtedly be earnt back in shirt sales and other income.

He would, but then we would be weakened with de Gea and Nani gone, and we have bigger priorities than signing another attacker, with our defence and midfield issues. I'd love him back here, but only if the deal was right for United. Considering we are looking pretty good right now with Rooney and Rvp then we have a great chance of winning trophies.

We wouldn't miss Nani! Ronaldo would be asked to play out wide in either a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3. He could play either side of either formation and we'd have Young and Valencia to play as well. We've hardly missed Nani thus far and when he has played this season, his performances have been half-hearted to say be least!

I agree that Ronaldo is neither a) a priority signing, nor b) likely to happen but if he was available, I'd love to see him back at United. I'd sacrifice Nani but probably not DDG, even if he is likely to bugger off back to Spain as some point anyway
 
I'm probably Nani's biggest fan, at least judging by the end of year awards, but I'd trade him for Ronaldo in a heartbeat.

(Orton is a way bigger fan than me, he just goes unnoticed)

I like Nani as well but I'd have to say the same. I wouldn't include de Gea in any deal though and would rather pay more money instead. Madrid don't even need de Gea - at least in the near future, and can't see him being happy to go there just to sit on the bench or be loaned out. Not sure why this is even being debated as it isn't going to happen.
 
Would Mourinho be signing DDG just to put Casillas' nose out of joint? Bugger that...
 
He's 28 come February, I wouldn't be happy with a £60m plus a £15m goalkeeper deal. It'd mean Real borrowed him from us for his best years for essentially nothing.
 
Take him back. No brainer. There's a few that could be offered along, DG can go, Nani too. Can think of a couple of others as well
 
Player for player, I'd do it of course. But I don't like the idea of just shipping out a handful of our current squad for the chance to get a former star back like that. His move would have to be adding to our current side, not just taking a step back in time.
 
It's bullshit anyway, I can't see Casillas becoming a permanent second choice anytime soon.

Then it shouldn't be too difficult for you to give us some examples of available keepers who are up to the job.

On par with De Gea? There's loads Nick. He's not that amazing yet.

Off the top of my head right now Begovic. We could argue who's better but either way there's very little in it.

See this is my issue, you're thinking short term. You're only looking at who you think is on his level right now. I disagree that Begovic is as good, by the way, but it's irrelevant to my overall point.

What's better for United in the long term, big picture? Getting Ronaldo back at any cost, or keeping one of the brightest young GK prospects in the game?

In my eyes we've got a keeper who is going to go on to be one of the best we've seen, and as far as I'm concerned getting Ronaldo back isn't worth giving him up for. As a team unit, I think we'd be weaker after letting DDG go, even if our attack is made stronger.
