Real to put Ronaldo up for sale

Well Ronaldo must be looking at how many medals he's missed out on and how his former team mates are looking forward to another CL final - - - - - -

Point, now the novelty of playing for the club he dreamed of as a boy might be wearing off he might be thinking "Was btter off where i was".

"As for Manchester City, I can’t ever see them being as big as United. United have all the tradition and you cannot make history in two or three years irrespective of how much money you have. City simply cannot buy what United have. I don’t know if they tried to get me but I wouldn’t play for any other English club but United.”

Is that recent?

Please let me know so I can confirm my semi.
 
To be fair I'd take him back in an instant but there's feck all chance of the Glazers sanctioning an £80million plus bid for him.

Nike should part fund it for all the mulah it'd make them having him back in a Nike shirt.
 
You know what the funniest thing is?

Ronaldo apparently wants to go because Mourinho's tactics are too defensive.

To get away from this torture, he supposedly wants to go to Man City. And we all know that Mancini is an exponent of wonderful free flowing football. :rolleyes:

Just another thing to prove the absolute shitness of this story.
 
---Valencia/Nani---Rooney----Ronaldo

This young man is not a fool and he know's what's right and what's wrong.

He has a family to take care of and as far as we know they are happy in Madrid. There is now reason for him to change club. He's their best player and he will this season break the club's goalscoring record.

This is a non story.

Valencia Rooney Ronaldo

Best counter-attacking side in history of soccer-ball.
 
Dont understand why anyone would hate him for going to city.
Yes, no one would like it but at the end of the day he's a professional. We should get over it, he'd do what's best for his pocket and career - city's not stoke you know, they're a team with money to spend and on the up.

Schmeichel, Cole and Law all played for City. Do we hate them all? Dislike maybe, shouldn't hate.

If he went to City then scored against united but refused to celebrate (like he did vs Sporting), would he be forgiven?

Schmeichel Cole and Law were all in the latter stages of their careers when they joined the massives and Ronaldo is at his peak and could well win major honours with shitty if he went there,so it's a totaly different scenario.

So if he was 35 and went there you'd be fine with it?
Don't know, not all players are fans of the club like gaz.

I wouldn't think of ronaldo as a cnut if he joined city, nor would i think of him a traitor or disloyal, or less of a great player for us. i'd just think of him as a football player.

Has no one in this world even worked for a company then gone to its competitor for more money, ambition, a bigger role, a new challenge, or if it was the only other company to give him a job?

i know football is more tribal than normal work, but from Ronaldo's perspective, i'd understand if he did. I'd love to beat him frequently if he went there though.

Its not beyond the realms of possibility with the money city has. Burning effigies of ronaldo or similiar would be over the top, IMO.

Would love it if he joined us again though. Would Real take their 80million back?

I sometimes wonder if some people on here understand football rivalry.

Aimed at me, i suppose. I do understand rivalry...but more so the rivalry with Liverpool, not so much City, probably because i'm not a Manc...I really don't share the dislike most on here have for City. I don't want them to win anything, but, them winning the FA Cup bothered me none, especially as we're still winning titles.

Ronaldo joining Liverpool, now that would be different. But shit like that has happened before, see Luis Enrique, Figo, Fat Ronaldo. So if i'm seeing it from a footballer's perspective, my career would come before what fans would think, to a certain extent anyway.
 
I say we should break the bank for him. Sell half the squad, if we have to. No player was bigger than the club, but as far as Ronnie was concerned, he WAS the club. Anyone who says otherwise is a cnut.
 
It'd be an incredibly dickish move for him to go to City, he's selfish and egotistical but I think he has plenty of respect for the club, the fans and Sir Alex and I don't think he'd go against that and sign for them.

I'd lose all respect for him really. I don't like the fact he went to Madrid but I respect it to an extent, feck him if went to City. There's no comparison to the Law or Schmeichel, they gave their best years to the club and only spent a year at City, Ronaldo would be there at his peak and be there for a few years yet and be able to help them win titles at the expense of us.

And then there's the fact that he constantly said he'd like to move to his dream club (which isn't true but it is his dream country, it makes it semi-understandable) and that was the only reason that some people didn't hold the move (and pining for the move) against him, because it was something he always wanted to do in his career. Going to City would make that argument completely void. It'd mean he put the fans through so much anguish just because all he cares about is himself, achieving personal success and glory.

Ronaldo could achieve unbelievable levels of success with this club and be a huge part of it for years to come, and he decided to leave anyway. Law and Schmeichel couldn't and were at the end of their careers.

That said I don't think it's a remote possibility and I do still hold a lot of respect for Ronaldo (if a tad begrudgingly).
 
He left for the fairytale/kid dream of playing for Madrid. IF he no longer has that chip on his shoulder and is disappointed, why would he go to City?
  • Money isn't a good reason, he is loaded and will continue to be loaded wherever he plays.
  • Weather isn't a good reason, it's the same as with us.
  • Style isn't a good reason, he surely knows a Fergie team will always be more fun than a Mancini team.
  • Professionalism and trophies, he knows he can get that with us, more so than with a bunch of mercenaries.
The fact is he maybe would leave for certain teams but City isn't one of them, and it's not like Real will hound him out for money, their fans would be livid.

For the money we would be willing to pay (and we should be willing to pay back the 80M for a Ronaldo with no want-away distractions), Real wouldn't sell. And it's not like he is going to force a move.

He wouldn't go to teams who can afford him and Real wouldn't sell to those he would fancy at a reasonable price.

Non-story.

Case closed.
 
OK, so, what if ronaldo doesn't have a choice but to go to city?say madrid dont want him, they agree a fee with city would could be only club who can afford him.

He's not going to rot in Madrid's reserves is he? Or for that matter Madrid just using him sparingly from the bench...he wouldn't be happy with that, a city move wouldn't be that bad for him in the circumstances...See here's where i'm coming from...he may not have a choice eventually...

The story is probably fake, and none of this will probably happen, mind...
 
No team wants to sell one of the best players in the world. If they leave it's because they want to leave.

He's got twice the fans on Facebook than Manchester United and hasn't received any advertisement what-so-ever... Manchester United advertise pretty much every game in front of thousands, all over their website, etc. You could argue he's bigger than the club considering United have been rumoured of being the biggest/most popular club in the world going by their Facebook 'like' count...

I'm not a troll or anything but you could definitely argue that a player is bigger than the club.
 
There is no way in hell he would go to City. Am I the only one who doesn't want him back here? Use to be my favourite player a few years ago but wouldn't want him back.
 
Good god.

rednev was taking the piss, I actually thought it was quite funny. I've no idea what you're suggesting but 1. facebook fans don't prove anything, at all and 2. that's not really what people talk about when they say 'no player is bigger than the club', you've taken it very literally.

What's that about a player being bigger in the club?
 
Just read it on some German media, apparently that City sheikh offers Ronaldo a 17 million Euro annual salary.

I dunno why you're laughing, if Ronaldo joined some league 3 side everyone would agree that he's bigger than the club so where does that stop? If he joined the likes of West Ham or something I'd still say he was bigger than the club.

I'm not saying he is bigger than United but people saying players cannot be bigger than clubs is silly IMO.
 
I was laughing at the suggestion that facebook 'likes' can be an accurate representation of anything, especially whether Ronaldo is bigger than Manchester United. It's quite simply stupid.
