Well Done Guys.That just shows a peaceful way to talk out the differences.Hope the two clubs behave like this.

And others who took part in the concersation..

I feel Ronaldo's time is as good as over.And because of his behaviour he might not get a good seeing off from United fans in England.

Ronaldinho will also be a really good gamble.I am sure SAF has thought about him.

 

[b-ytter]

If he goes he goes,i really dont care that mutch!
would like him to stay but if the last report's from the media happens to be true,i would not care if he goes!
I am sure he hasn't figured out what united's plans for him was yet:

1. gave him the chance to play in the best league in the world.
2. gave him the number 7 that is a tribute in it self!
3. Sir alex wanted to build the team around him and Rooney
4. gave him the chance to win a lot of trophys
5. made him the best player in the world!

He is a great player but i think he got some morale issues! if he only had Solskjaers brain!!

i think ronaldo has peaked too early in his career and hes now going to make the 'dream' move to spain that he should of done in like 5 years time....whether he stays or goes hes never going to have a season as good as last and if he does go to madrid now i can see us all in many years time saying, 'Remember that lad Ronaldo, he had the potential to be the best player ever....better than Best better than Pele but instead he went to spain too early and his career took a nose dive from there.....shame really!!'

 

[Filipower]

you're right to some extent, actually...he's got another good 10 years almost, he should take it the **** easy...

 

[dubcrazy]

i listened to the interview of that brazlian reporter and be honest he sound "dodgey" i honestly didnt beleive him for some reason and dont think sky sports did either

listen to your mother ronaldo she says that he is happy in manchester and will be stayin put

 

[Hans]

I can't believe some of the bashing towards Ronaldo from some so called United fans...

You guys if not the same are worse than those who said that Giggs and Scholes should've just retired last season...

That kid gave us 42 ******* goals !!!! He carried the team on his shoulder literally !!!! He was like Kobe Bryant for Lakers for ****'s sake, give the kid some credit for busting his ass off on the pitch against some of the scariest legs breaking defenders despite being gay looking while you sit comfortably on your fat asses with soda cans in your left hand and potato chips in your right hand just for you to have something to cheer about the next morning in your pathetic lives....

Ronaldo, if you do follow him since his first day at United :
- Never once said that he was gonna end his career here. His first and only love is Sporting Lisbon and that's where he wants to end his career.
- Never promised anything. When prompted about the fact that someday Madrid will probably try to sign him, he said just see what the future holds.
- Once promised that he will score 15 goals at least in a season and delivered... superbly....
- Once promised he will win the EPL with United and delivered.
- Once promised that he will bring the ECL for United and delivered.

He could've left when the whole England booed him after the 2006 WC, but he stayed with us. Now ask yourself what might have been if he did leave huh ?

After all what he has given us and you call him names like bastards, ****s and even ungrateful ? The only ******* ungrateful bastards are you who dish at him....

Will I be sad if Ronaldo leaves ? Yes, but for **** sake I'm still gonna respect him for what he did for us. Nobody can take the good times he has given us this season. For all I know, you **** heads should be grateful that another great footballing Gods has graced the pitch of Old Trafford....

haha, yep, just like Figo.

 

[OrgulloVikingo]

We'll if he does go, it will be interesting to see how he will fare at Real. But i wouldn't mind like 50 mil plus Robinho either. Sneijder would be nice, but we have Anderson, Carrick and Hargreaves all still with lots of years ahead of them.

I think Robinho will be player of the year soon. 50 mil + him = very bad move by real. Extremely bad.

When he first played for United, Premiership was no way the best league in the world. La Liga was the best. Premiership became the best 2 years ago, no question, but Spain dominated for quite some time. I'll repeat myself by saying that he dioesnt owe Utd. anything. In turn, he gave you many trophys and a possible huge amount of money from the transfer = great deal for United. It's a huge investment that has already paid off. What I dont like is that he's been playing games. He should respect United by being upfront and trying to keep things out of the media (at least try).

Why can't he have abetter year? because he may not play for United anymore? Thats a pretty arrogant statement. Why can't he suceed and grow his game elsewhere? We have all the parts to be very very competetive. We have 2 staright ligas, a very young team. We have all the pieces for a CL trophy soon as well. (not bad for having a new squad and new coach). Not only that but for him and many other players, playing for Real is the tops. It doesnt get bigger for many many players. Not saying United isn't huge by any means, but there is a certain mystique and allure for playing for Real that's so special.

I know, I started it

However one report which I feel should be on here - as it's possibly actual news as opposed to conjecture is this:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/gossip_and_transfers/default.stm


In other United business: Patrice Evra was apparently going to sign on May 29th (he was waiting for United to physically get the contract they'd agreed) but he still hasn't signed. I'm fairly sure Patrice wants very much to stay with us - but I'll be much happier when he puts pen to paper (for what that's worth these days - see above) Evra has improved so much and was brilliant for us last season.

because he is better wise advised to continue playing in a settled team rather than to switch to a different climate so quickly.

All that apart,what have we ever done to deserve this? At this point in time we should be celebrating a delightful double earnt with the sweat and blood of the players and all concerned,and here we are debating whether our best player is about to desert the ship all summer thanks to your cunning marca and calderon remarks.

David Villa and David Silva from Valencia apparently up for "serious offers"... anyone? I don't really know much about them, but i've heard some good things.

Sergio Aguero of Atletico Madrid is the latest name added to the "possibles" list by the media today. I've seen a bit of Villa and he'd be a good acquisition for us. I haven't really seen much of Silva though.

In other United news, looks like Tomas Kuszczak is out of Euro 08 after injuring his back - the physio reckons he'll be fit in a month's time. Shame for Tomas, but he was #2 behind Arthur Boruc anyway so he wouldn't have played much.

On that subject here are the United players that are in Euro 2008 (that I remember)

Edwin Van Der Sar (Holland)
Patrice Evra, Mickael Silvestre & Louis Saha (France)
Nani (and Ronaldo) (Portugal)
Tommy Kuszczak (Poland)

I think that's the lot.

 

[IORI]

All Hail MANCHESTER UNITED

 

[1966+2006]

David Villa might be a good buy. Depends if he takes the Torres route or the Fernando Morientes route in the Premiership.

 

[Filipower]

Nani (and Ronaldo) (Portugal)

lol.

 

[MikeyM]

lol.

Yeah well I'm not sure he's a United player anymore!

Anyway, I have finally crafted a new sig - one that I have tried hard to capture United's history with rather than featuring the current squad (which will always be changing)

 

[Help?]

Its great idea, but i think you should do some fading and transperancy on it. Because all the pictures are of same quality and it looks like a collage, rather than a picture.
