Ronaldo To Leave Real Madrid?

[TonyM]

Just watched the Portugal v Mexico game. Still class on the ball, but noticeable loss of pace. There's no way we should even consider buying him.

Not that it's really relevant to this topic, but Jose Fonte was awful and yet the ever fresh Pepe had a good game. And Qaresma too was good. I

His pass for the first goal was class. Everyone says he'll diminish significantly without pace but I think he is showing that he can still be extremely effective. If he goes to united it'll be like them getting VanPersie, i.e. overpriced in the short term but immediately brilliant.

There is no way he's going to leave. All he's doing is forcing real to pay his tax bill and he's using the rag idiots to force them to pay the tax bill.
Its all a smoke screen.

Does the fact that he tries to blackmail Real into paying his tax bill indicate that he thinks Real actually owes him this, for example if there was some sort of dodgy deal in place between him and Real, by which Ronaldo would deduct a right to get the money from Real? Or is he just a spoiled prick throwing his toys out of the pram? I mean how can you get the idea that your employer should pay your taxes for you? It is between you and the taxman, surely.

It's bluetintedglassesocious to not think that Ronaldo at united, Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool or Arsenal would make them seriously stronger.... in my opinion. I hope he stays put.

I honestly do not see him as a Peg player. Maureen wants big, strong blokes to get stuck in - much like Pulis. Ronaldo would be a luxury player (and a very expensive one, as well).
As someone else has mentioned, it's almost certainly a smokescreen to sort out his tax problems.

Cant imagine him and Ibramovic in the same room, 2 huge ego.
Could be entertaining

Its a media wet dream this news columns galore, clicks galore, bullshit galore, even though they don't believe there own bullshit, it keeps the clicks going all summer when nowts happeing and he will still be starting for Madrid next season! This is what I hate about the media.

God I hope they really spent the £350m on him that Real Madrid want allegedly

Unless they've got a large amount of cash floating around that would go a fair way to doubling their debt!

Oh sorry I forgot, they'll get it back within a week from shirt sales...

"But United have concerns, which centre around the fact they do not want to become involved in the media circus surrounding Ronaldo's future."

They are one big media circus, they love nothing more than being part of it, instigating it, engineering it and exploiting it...

They have major issues in other areas of the team, they have a manager who plays football that can stink out a stadium.I was at a family b-b-q the other month, unfortunately the majority of my family( wife's side) are all united. They were gloating about winning the europa and signing griezmann - i just sat there in the sun with a beer smiling knowing full well that they are shite, played mediocre teams to acually struggle and win the europa, but best of all was knowing full well that griezmann was going nowhere

episode 2 - enter ronaldo

It looks as thought there is a Manx connection. However, other than the report from a local radio station, I can't find anything which definitively points to a Manx involvement.
