I'm actually enjoying this whole thing.
Every summer the Premier League's better players are linked with moves away - in the past Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry were always linked with moves long before they actually left. That's fair enough, that's the media and that's players trying to get bigger pay cheques for you.
To be honest I've barely read a thing about the Ronaldo situation because you can get the jist of it by reading the headlines on BBC etc.
Anyway I find it amusing because this is a player who has easily had one of the best individual seasons in Premier League history - he's loved by the Manchester United fans and generally loathed by the rest. Now he's acting like he wants to prove the loathers right and leave for Real Madrid.
How can Manchester United's fans like him even if he stays? This will surely effect his performances next season and they'll all know that he wants to be somewhere else.
He's being stupid for not denying these media quotes, if only to keep his employers happy and he was very stupid for signing such a big contract. United were stupid to believe that he was "United".
If I was Ferguson I'd take the record breaking transfer fee.

I'd also dispute he's loathed by everyone else. I'm not a Utd fan and think he's ace.

As every year passes the transfer rumours between Europe's top clubs becomes more and more like something you might see in some sort of WWF Wresteling script thingy.
It's only a matter of time before the whole of top flight football becomes set up. Fan's have turned their back of the real struggle of supporting a shit club, they just want instant excitement. Might as well make sure they get what they want by hiring someone to write it.

But, that's not how football fandom works is it? If a player shows their desire to leave they tend to lose the support of the fans.
I said generally loathed. I think he's the best player in the Premier League by far.

Simple decision for him for me stay at Man Utd couple more years and go down as a legend and then take your move to Real Madrid or he can leave this season and be remembered as a greedy bastard who jumped ship.

Who needs £300,000 a week after tax? That kind of money is obscene. And the reason why football is no longer just a game. which is a shame really.

It does seem odd to me that someone would move to double their money when the starting point is £120k a week! If Ronaldo stayed on that wage level for 10 years then including sponsorship and endorsments he would be worth more than £100m by the time he retires FFS! How much more do you need?!? It would seem odd to move just for money in that scenario when he already has it on a plate for him at Man U...... superstardom, aclaim, sustained personal and team success as well as huge financial rewards |

It's not the earning the the money at that stage though - more the kudos of being the best payed player in the world. He knows he doesn't need all that money just wants to be seen as earning that much money.

I'd also dispute he's loathed by everyone else. I'm not a Utd fan and think he's ace. I'm no United fan either but i'm in the loath him group. Yes withouth a doubt he has the skill, the talent and the ability yet time and time again he chooses to 'fall' over and get his oponent sent off. No class whatsoever. He WILL go to Real Madrid thats for certain, but it will not effect Uniteds current dominant position. No doubt when he goes for the £75M offered, United will scupper their City rivals bid for Ronaldinho. |
