Bert Trautmann's Parachute said:I'm surprised more people can't see that he has not got the spine for the big games, which prevents him being described as world-class for me (even though he has world-class ability). I wouldn't want him near the club either, for obvious reasons.

I have lost track of the number of games against Barca and other top European clubs where he has been almost anonymous. He's great against lower level opposition. He'll murder your Wigans, Granadas, Sporting Gijons of this world.
But for my money we can do better. Last night completely outshone by Ribery and to a lesser extent Robben.
See El Clasico tonight lads?

Once more he failed to show in the big game with his 5th goal (winner) in the last six el classicos.

Have changed my mind, I don't want him!! With what he would cost I'd rather keep Carlo, swap Balo in a deal for cavani, and use the the money we would have spent on ronaldo to get hazard, alba, Martinez and lavezzi. Must better financially and the team improved in more positions.

Just seems stupid to spend £100m plus the wages on one player?? Messi is obviously the only one is worth it!!Matt the Giant said:richards30 said:Have changed my mind, I don't want him!!

He set up the real goal V Munich and scored the winner V barca. Not bad for a bottler. Also look at how many "bottlers" we have on our books. Look how many went missing in matches since January. Do you really this a team let by a ginger pensioner and a randy old goat would be ahead of us if we had Ronaldo?
Ronaldo will come to City. Mark my words. We will show the world that we can get the best.
Also to all the clowns dissing him you said the said about Tevez twice!

Has anybody read this article?? Very interesting in the part regarding the financial terms.
The link is at the bottom if you want to read it off the website.
A blockbuster transfer to Manchester City, this summer, from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo is much more likely than people think.
After all, the signs are there for Ronaldo to quit the Bernabeu and return to the Premier League.
And it could happen given City's offer.
The Citizens are reportedly planning an £80 million bid for the Portugal star this summer, and will offer the 27-year old wages rising from £400,000-a-week to £500,000-a-week.
In addition, the club will set up a series of soccer schools in Ronaldo's name if he joins, which would boost his personal brand equity immensely.
It's clearly a very attractive offer, and one which certainly isn't beyond the realms of possibility by any means, given what's on the table for all parties concerned.
We all know what Manchester City would get out of the deal—tons of goals, a better brand image, increased marketing opportunities and revenue, and world's football greatest ever statement of intent.
But what will the two parties the deal is aimed at get out of it?
For the player himself, a move to Manchester City is a serious option, and it's clear to see why.
According to goal.com who broke the news of this proposed deal, a source close to those involved in this potential transfer apparently revealed the Ronaldo camp is considering it, and said:
The signs now from the Ronaldo camp are surprisingly more positive. The contact has taken place in the last few weeks and there is serious chatter in the corridors at the Etihad, akin to when City tried to sign Kaka from AC Milan a few years back."
For starters, the money involved is almost too good to turn down, especially seeing as Ronaldo is now 27 and is already meant to be on his final, big contract in football.
His deal with Real Madrid runs until June 2015, and he will earn £400,000-a-week in his final year, having started off at £250,000-a-week, with his weekly wage rising by £30,000-a-week at the end of each season.
However, what he actually earns is a lot different.
Due to the economic crisis in Spain and the austerity measures the government is having to put in place to avoid Euro bailouts and a double-dip recession, the top earners in the country pay the equivalent of 54p to the pound in tax—56p in Cataluyna, affecting Lionel Messi and the FC Barcelona players even more.
So while Ronaldo is currently meant to rake in £310,000-a-week right now, in fact only £142,600-a-week will make it to his bank account.
In his final year at Madrid, Ronaldo will take home £184,000-a-week.
Lower Tax In England Means Ronaldo Would Earn More For His Talent
If he was to move back to the Premier League, thanks to the United Kingdom's stronger financial situation, he would earn a lot more, with the top tax rate now 45p to the pound.
For starters,, he'd immediately earn the gross pay of £400,000-a-week it would take him two more years to earn at his current employer.
His net income would be much higher than it would be in the final year of his Real Madrid contract, as he'd rake in an actual amount of £220,000-a-week, a whopping £36,000-a-week more than in Spain.
Plus, by the time he'd come to the end of his deal and be earning a gross income of £500,000-a-week, his net pay would be £275,000-a-week, earning him a colossal £14.3 million a year after tax.
The best he could dream of at Real is a net income of £9.6 million per annum.
Money talks, and it's very obvious to see why. Figures like that could easily see Ronaldo jump ship in an instant.
Especially when combined with the fact he's apparently unhappy at Madrid after being booed by his own fans and criticized by a senior figure at the club.

Real Madrid
Manchester City is set to offer Real Madrid the £80 million it paid for Cristiano Ronaldo, and technically it'd get a profit for the player.
Real gave Manchester United €94 million for Ronaldo, and if City matches the offer in pounds sterling, it'll be handing La Liga's leaders €96 million thanks to the current exchange rates.
Whilst that's a minimal profit, it's still massive money, and would help the club massively as they seek to expand and still fall within UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules.
The Ronaldo money will allow Los Galacticos to actually go through with its 'Operación 2014', whereby it's seeking to sign the best young talent in world football to give it a solid future for many years.
The idea is that it'll invest big money now in these players, and possibly get up to 10 years worth out of them, earning their money back and making profit out of the stars through their performances, merchandise, and all other revenue they'd contribute in generating.
Jack Wilshere of Arsenal is one target, as is Borussia Dortmund star Mario Goetze, FC Barcelona wonderkid Rafinha Alcantara, Lille winger Eden Hazard and Athletic Bilbao talent Iker Muniain.
By accepting City's offer for Ronaldo, it'd be able to build the proper foundations in its attempt to regain its status as the best in the world and keep it for many years.
Plus, they'd have more money to invest in their pursuit of that 'Real Madrid Island', which has the possibility to generate the club enough revenue to keep them at the top of the world indefinitely, and make them the strongest sporting brand in the world.
And in terms of the on-pitch impact, Ronaldo is definitely replaceable.
Yes he's scoring a ton of goals, but Real Madrid has a plethora of attacking options being kept waiting in the wings.
The Portuguese superstar is keeping Gonzalo Higuain largely out of the team, with the Argentine proving his obvious talent with 18 league goals and five assists in just 13 starts.
The 24-year-old can very easily step up to the plate in Ronaldo's absence, especially seen as the supply will always be there from Mesut Ozil and Angel Di Maria—who between them have a staggering 34 assists this season.
So while it seems mad on the surface, considering Cristiano Ronaldo is by far and away Real Madrid's top goalscorer right now, a transfer to Manchester City is highly logical, and could easily happen.

would be funny just for the fit that will happen across the city boundary in Stretford.

And to see Rooney hand in another transfer request saying he wants to move to us, again.
robbieh said:So Madrid are keen on this. Why? So they can invest in youth, as well as buying a few top quality players as well.
Shouldn't we see it in the same way. 100 mill on one 27 year old or 4 superstars of the future. Hazard etc
Because Madrid have success right now and we don't. We will build from youth but we want to do it on a bedrock of league and cup wins, so every young player coming in feels they're coming into a winning system at a winning club. Rather than somewhere like Arsenal where all the youth players come in and hope they get signed by us :D
