I'm just trying to put things in perspective. Joey Barton's a cnut. Ronaldo's not
.I really am gonna miss the guy all the memories he's bought us over the years and without him we wouldn't have won half of what we have. I'm honestly really gutted he's going and wish him all the best. Thank you Ronnie
to save all our problems I hope United put into the deal that, should we need to play them in any Comps, then he should not be included. Given the ire that Ronaldo drew from some fans it would be idealistic to think that he will not be booed in Real Shite colours when he was booed in United colours.
I´m frankly relieved he´s gone and at a great price - I could not stand another few years of will I wont I . He was a great player for us but a crap individual - so thanks for the memories Ronaldo and close the door - quietly - on your way out
I wish him well in his personal life. Not in his professional life at all, unless he's playing Liverpool.
Edit: Mockney, we're obviously on the same wavelength on some things - I never noticed that you had put "personal life" in the heading.

I am gutted....spoiled my entire summer this has....
On the contrary, it will make my summer....because, when he goes, we do not have to put up with hundreds of threads about him going or not (or tabloid speculation), which would never be able to go away as long as he is constantly expressing implicitly or explicitly his desire to go, plus his lack of unambiguous show of loyalty in public towards our club.
those goals against Arsenal and Porto...he is only going to get better...in a year or two 80 million will seem cheap..
Considering we obtained him at a cost of 12m quid and now selling at 80, it's good business for us over a period of 6 years. It's all good! I not for one second believe that without him, our chance of retaining the league trophy or regaining the CL would be dented, considering it's evidenced at least in the last season, we were capable of not relying on one particular player.
We should be celebrating, not lamenting!

I don't care what anyone says he was one of the best young players United has had ...his contribution was tremendous and he will be missed. This will definitely spoil my summer as well.
Well he spoilt everybodys last summer with his antics,and it should have been a great one.Hes gone and good riddance,he wont spoil my summer
Get in!!!
Though I'll probably be lambasted for the ambiguous definition of achievement!
Good post Mocks, one of the finest players to ever put on the RED shirt, and always gave his all. A bit of a cnut but with the media these days just about everyone is, I know for sure Ronaldo never showed up drunk on game day. United have 80 million for him which is fair I suppose, the question is can they replace him. The answer is yes, if they get it right, but that will be difficult. Benzema and Ribery are a must, I say offer 40 million straightaway for both. If no Benzema get Eto'o.
One thing I know is that at the end of the day I respect Ronaldo as a Manchester United Legend, so what if he was a twat of a person, probably a lot of United players are, it was just highlighted in this case because Ronaldo is the best player in the world

so everyone will remember his antics and not his contribution ...typical. He is not the only brat to ever play football and there will be many more who will play for United...lets hope that are as talented as him
If all else fails there is Berbatov and his splendid penalty kicks
Memories.Cheers Mockney. As always, a wonderful post.
the ultimate ronaldo photo. fantastic!!
the mock...very talented and articulate fellow. keep it coming.
Brilliant post Mockney, I envy you sometimes.
Mockney said it with class
Absolutely brilliant post.
Sums up everything I want to say (including the Mockney posts in this thread) more eloquently than i ever could.

he's 17 days older than me. depends how u define 'growing up' or 'kid'. 1998-02 was when i was 13-17...formative teenage years. madrid ran off 3 european cups in 5 years while adding the best player in the world (zidane), best portuguese player (figo), etc. i can see why ronnie might think real is the biggest.
mind you, even when that was happening i liked barca on the continent much more. just never liked madrid...ever.
Very nice piece there Mockney.
People could remember him however they want, some will focus on the negatives such as his antics and the 'fact' that he was a 'cnut' (of which we've had quite a few players now regarded as United Legends), while others will prefer to remember him for what he could do on a football pitch and that player who took us to great heights after being in the shadow of Abramovich's Chelsea. To some he'll be remembered as that 'cnut' who dared to leave United for Real Madrid and who sent Rooney off in the world cup, and to others he'll be remembered as the best United player since George Best. Either way, he'll rightly go down in the history books as one of United's and English football's best ever players, and he's only 24.

Pricks, i'm mentioned aswell.
I think you don't respect me, all ways with this question.

Another good one mockney. sad to see him leave, but will get over it, with start of the league again.
Mockney is the shit. He could write articles for some pro football site.
Don't give him ideas or he'll be wanting away to pastures new. Niall will say no, and hold out for a year probably but it will be a done deal.
We're in the print edition as well...Slap bang in the middle of the inside back cover!
Funny thing is, you've got one opinion from UWS saying good riddance and 2 from RedCaf being gracious...It makes the Caf seem all loved up with him...Anyone guesting will be in for a shock!
The Manchester United facebook group is spinning your article as well Mockney, well done mate !
You wouldn't be able to buy a copy and send it over for me would you?
Put it in my special box
Edit: I'll see if the paper could send me a copy first.
Great post (again) Mockney. You're becoming a bit of a caf legend.
Put it in my special box
Bet you say that to all the guys.
Which one?...gotta link?
Also, it's a good example of press spin. They've headed it Fans' Eye View: He achieved more than Best and then quoted certain bits that back up this view...for example cutting the line 'Rightly' from the sentence 'He'll rightly never be remembered with the same reverence'.....Therefor spinning it to look like I may think he's a bigger legend than Best
It's a very minor edit I know, but imagine everything you say going through this filter and you'll have some idea of what it's like being Ronaldo....something we should always remember when reading 'quotes'[
lol.
Mum and Dad have kept boxes for me and my 3 brothers with treasured memories of our childhoods.
This isn't a big thing, but its just one of those little special things, that I can look back at in 20 years and say "ha look, I remember that" And then relive the heart break all over again

So Mockney's your dad! Awww, bless!
(Or - and most likely I suppose - were you saying that you would put it in your special box - not telling him to).
Help!..He's touching my special area!
Sums it up really well.
I can't dislike him for wanting to go to Real if that's always been his dream. I hope that is the case, and it's not just about money, but it wouldn't surprise me.
I just don't like the way he's played us along and generally acted totally superficially/shallow.
I don't think it's Iberian players that love Real and Barca, I think it's Latin players. I mean, down in South America nearly all the fans watch the Spanish league, and there's some Italian league on too. Only recently has the English league started to be shown, and the culture is too different for the kids to fall in love with us.
That's why I fear if Anderson or Nani ever get any good then we'll have all this all over again, because, deep down, they both hold the Spanish league in higher regard, too.
The best post on this thread so far
