Ronaldo to Madrid

[Dames]

I hope he flops if he goes.

Big mistake he's making.

Big mistake.

[Joe.]

I don't understand why he'd want to leave the technically best club in the world where he could potentially earn what he likes, where he is idolised by fans and media, and generally respected by everybody in this country.

Maybe in a few seasons but now? While he's at his peak?

Very odd.

Because apparently it's his dream to play there.

[Samilktray]

£300k a week.

Jesus Christ, i mean if your being honest... you can see the attraction.

[Uncle Albert]

I would rather be on £120 Grand a week than £300 Grand a week and stay with Yanited.

£120,000 or £300,000 a week for a footballer whats the world coming to?

You are serious? £300,000 a week you couldn't really imagine.

[Tilley]

The saddest thing about this is that he will make Robinho/Robben play less :cry:

Maybe,

But Ronaldo on the Right,

Robben on the left,

[purpleronnie]

Why?

It's tougher.

[Uncle Albert]

It's tougher.

You are saying La Liga is tougher to play in than the Premier League?

[Phube]

lol

It'd be tougher for a player like Ronaldo I think.

[Uncle Albert]

It'd be tougher for a player like Ronaldo I think.

I honestly think it will be alot easier for a player like Ronaldo, he has got it all and if he can do it against world class defenders in England then he can do it against the likes of Puyol and co.

They are world class defenders in Spain as well, they don't all have Carlos Puylos lack of positional sense .

It's the way the game works, the position of the defenders and the way they defend as well as the pace of the game I was getting at anyway not the standerd of the individual players.

He will found it tougher out there, the game is abit slower, hence giving defenders more time!! But who cares, the kind of money that would be offered to him will be a success in itself!!!

Well yes this is a quite different matter.

Who actually needs that much money I mean really, it's just so greedy, I know footballers careers don't go on forever but when your on £120,000 p/w for 3 years thats.....thats about 18 million squids, you can basically have anything you want, if he stayed on that wage for another 10 years he earning in excess of 50 million.

It's just a complete lack of loyalty to United, and I can't believe he's come out so openly and stated that he will come if they're paying him whats reported. Just shows his motivation is, money. He could of at least tried to cover it up by saying he'd achieved everything he could with Man U and it's his dream to play for Real, he has no tact, no decency, despite being an absloutley brilliant footballer he somehow manages to think he's better than he is both on and off the field, he's a ****en cheat and above all an absloute tosspot, I hope he does go, and doesn't come back.

[filbertway]

£150k a week.

Isn't it one of the clubs he's always wanted to play for?

And when he said "i won't be going if they don't play the money" then is it jsut me who was trying to say "I won't be going if they don't offer the money being said as united won't accept it"?

Hope he stays in the prem to be honest, absolute class act.

[Jack]

Modern football is a sad state of affairs.

He says they are the club he has always wanted to play for but wont go there unless the money is right ? What a joke.

His words were something like I will go there if they are willing to pay Manchester United and me what has been reported.

"I want to play for Real Madrid, but only if it is true they are eager to pay me and Manchester United what they have been saying they will,"

Hmm pretty close

[purpleronnie]

You are saying La Liga is tougher to play in than the Premier League?

Yep, Premier league has a good top 4 but the rest is pretty poor, Spanish league is much stronger throughout, 40+ goals for United, I'd be amazed if he got 25 for Madrid.

[lildave3]

Maybe,

But Ronaldo on the Right,

Robben on the left,

No!

Robinho and Robben.

Yeah but that's because, A. He gets a huge amount of freedom at United.

B. He takes penalties.

C. He takes most free kicks.

All of which would likely be cut down if he moved to Madrid.

Aston Villa

Man City

Newcastle

Everton

Blackburn

Tottenam

These teams are not very poor if I am being honest. Especially compared to teams like Levante and Deportivo.

[purpleronnie]

Ok poor may not have been the right word but the spanish teams seem stronger, look at the uefa cup.

[Matt]

Meanwhile, Ronaldo's mother, Dolores Aveiro, who has made no secret of her desire to see her son play in white of Real, last night told Portuguese TV station TV1 that she expects him to stay at United for now. She said: "He's fine where he is. Only God knows the future, but what is certain is that he'll stay in England."

This is getting farcical now, TBH I don't think its Ronaldo's fault either, Its the press making a big deal about again, hyping it up again. Don't get me wrong Ronaldo is a good player, a very good player and everyone wants to know what is happening I understand that but it is constant reports, constant questions to Ronaldo when he has quite clearly said "leave me alone", "I will not speak anymore about this until after the European Championship", e.t.c.

I/We have probably been just as bad by posting this thread and discussing it but it's just another pathetic press fueled farcical saga that will go on and on.

[Uncle Albert]

Ok poor may not have been the right word but the spanish teams seem stronger, look at the uefa cup.

I am looking and cannot see anything.

Ow actually I can see that there were 3 English teams in the last 16 of the Uefa cup compared to Spain's 1.

Alot stronger you are right.

[Manwell Pablo]

Aston Villa

Man City

Newcastle

Everton

Blackburn

Tottenam

**** AND OFF!!

The last time I saw Deportive play one of those teams (Newcaslte in this case) they made them look stupid! and this is before Newcastle went shit as well!
