Cristiano Ronaldo
- Thread starter #07
- Start date
Bye Rafa
Quite torn whether or not I'd want him at United now.
Why is he so against Benitez?
I'd rather we didn't sign him.
Probably blaming him entirely for his gradual decline.
Intrigued to see how he'd do at right back to be honest.
If he comes back, what do we do with the #7 shirt?
Is that really a question? The man is clueless.
I've really begun to loathe this narcissistic twat of late. If it's time for the Ronaldo circus to re-locate, I sure hope it isn't back to us. Paying an extravagant sum for players whose best years are no longer ahead of them never sits right with me.
Ronaldo's personality was always going to be too big for Benitez. After the likes of Mourinho and Ancelotti - perceived as strong-minded winners - Benitez was never going to effortlessly endear himself to the team.
No thanks.
Not keen on re-signing him either. We sold him for £80m with his best years ahead of him and bringing him back would likely require having to pay back the bulk of that whilst he's on the decline. I would've been happy for him to return two or three years ago but not now. I fear we'd have another Rooney situation on our hands where he's picked on reputation and is sitting on a long, expensive contract.
I'd rather go for a younger player who is willing to play for the team rather than just themselves.

Ahh, he's played the ''me or the manager'' card.
Keep Rafa, sell Ronaldo. Do it, Perez.
I have a feeling this will be Ronaldo's last season at Real. Unfortunately, I think it's too late and with him showing signs of decline, I wouldn't want us spending 50-60 million pounds on him. Think he'll be at PSG next season.
We'd have basically loaned him out to Madrid for his best years, and then taken him back when they've got the best out of him.
It would make us look weak, and certainly not the 'biggest club in the world'. Add to the fact he'll be 31 and on the decline, and the whole deal would be ridiculous.
Quite confident both will be gone next year.
Two years ago I definitely would but as you say, it's too late now.
He's coming in January was inevitable that he would come back once the goal record was broken
Look like someone wants a new contract, or more power, he always threatens hes coming back to united, only to get a pay increase, or for things to go his way
Imagine having him back 
. I have no issue with his age; we have a young squad that would benefit enormously from the likes of Schweinsteiger and Ronaldo. I think it would be a mistake to turn him down because he's older. His current level is higher than anything we have currently, and he's a goal machine, plus he keeps himself in top shape, so I don't see him grinding to a halt any time soon.

It was so obvious that FSW would fall out with the galatico players.
Because he is Fergusons man.
I'd love to have him back but it would cost way too much, Madrid would expect a transfer fee similar to what they paid for him, plus he would expect to be the highest paid player and a long contract for someone in their thirties just doesn't make sense. He is obviously a very marketable player but I have no idea how much extra money the club would earn by having him that could offset the ridiculous outlay.
I'm with you, Im a huge fan of Ronaldos but its clear hes on the decline. Watching him this season has been so evident and last night was the final nail. I see the statement it would make but i dont think hes worth it anymore.
He had a chance to come back 2 seasons ago and opted to stay at Madrid. I wouldnt want him to come and have to pay a big outlay + huge wages. I might be willing to do it if we could send Rooney in the other direction...
I find it quite peculiar when people quote the potential cost of getting Ronaldo back. I get the point of him potentially being a player in decline but the cost to me is a moot point. If we did happen to sign him, the club would make the money back twice over with merchandise sales. That's of course not a reason to bring him back but I reckon if we spent say £80 million, it would be a sound investment from a commercial point of view. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if having him back resulted in us taking over Madrid as the club with the most turnover. Interested to get everyone's thoughts.
Give Blind a new number and give CR his original number for Portugal when they already had a number 7 (17).
Here we go again..
Would we, though? I'm pretty sure our merchandise sponsorships (including shirt sponsorships) are multi-year deals worth a fixed amount of money.
They'll likely get rid of Benitez at the end of the season at the latest anyway without needing any extra reason to do so, not like anything is going to happen before then.
Would score more than our front 3 have done all season, on his own.
Any opportunity to get him should be taken. 3 years of Ronaldo as he declines is still better than 3 years of Wayne Rooney in any state.
Top goalscorer for Real Madrid and Manchester United. Swoon.
But would anyone here expect me to say otherwise?

I'm getting really fed up with this story if it happens it happens.
It's not even likely to happen though, and if it did he's 31 and on the decline. Whilst we'd be buzzing it's hardly a long-term plan.

Ronaldo is probably one of my favourite ever United players but I'm not sure if I want him back. He is past his peak, even though he is still a top player. He would cost at least 60 million and that money would go a long way in securing someone younger such as Reus, Bale or Neymar. However, if we weren't going to get any player of their calibre then I would be all for signing Ronaldo.
He was Madrid's main threat yesterday - together with Isco for 20 mins- and would have scored one or two goals if it wasn't for some sensational saves from Bravo.
I don't get the he's on the decline thing, and that comes from a Messi and barca fan

Hey are. You don't get any money from shirt sales besides the profit made in the clubs megastore.
It's not my money, he's a top player all else aside in bad temporary form, any day I would take him.
P$G bound IMO if he does in fact leave next summer. It wouldn't be a bad thing if we miss out either. Griezzman should be the player we are after, trigger that release clause next summer.
