@Highpeakprowler isn’t it embarrassing when things come back and bite you in the arse…

In fairness, you have been bigging up Ronaldo for almost a decade. So nobody can accuse you of hot air and posturing.

Is this £100 bet still valid? Maybe ric can advise on the legalities of the wager?

There is a ton on the table here for any takers.

Me - Ronaldo will never play a competitive match for Manchester City

You need to show the proof that you accepted the wager. Regarding my views on the preening **** which you have kindly quoted, to be fair it was a while ago but my views are unchanged

I understand, just found it funny the fickle nature of football fans. There were people on here saying that Ronaldo was finished as a top player 6 years ago.

"He's 30 and doesn't even run anymore, just shoots from anywhere. Not a team player. Bale is miles better..."

"....Tranny, Clownaldo, Spawn of Satan, Big time Ronnie, Preening show-pony, Step over rag twat, Selfish me me me ****."

This week

"Consummate professional. Imagine what Torres and Delap could learn from him? He will score 25 goals, he's a winner. Sign him up."

Never said anything about his ability, just said in my view he was a ****, and still is

To be fair most of those views are true and I agree with them. He is the ulitmate show pony but also a top level player. You can be both - we had Nasri so we know.

Looks like he may play a professional game for us. I would suck his balloon knot if he got the winner in the cl final. Quote that to if you like. Never thought Tevez would play for us either, was wrong on that to. Quoting from 6 years ago, fucking hell man you are really upset aren't you hehe

I'm not upset. If Ronaldo gets 2 more years of top money, good luck to him.

But the player he was 12 years ago, at his peak, who won the ballon d'or and the European cup. Who could play anywhere across the front 3, who would run at teams from the half way line and blow them away, who could score free kicks, headers, take people on. We are talking about 2 very different players now.

Have you burned your Ronaldo bed spread on twitter yet?

At the time (early 2015) he looked for all the world he would retire at Madrid. Who knew he is a machine that would still be in fine shape at his age or that he would leave them. My assertion then (that he would never play for us) seems perfectly reasonable even with hindsight. A lot can and does change in 6 years, as a utd fan you should be all to aware of how things can change ;-)

Anyway i am off to get my Ronaldo tatoo.

You were particularly scathing about his character, not his ability.

You said he was a, "Moody shithouse." And when the chips are down he gives up and spits his dummy out. He thinks he's bigger than the club, and he would reverse his car over you for inconveniencing him.

The sort of cockspit that would have a mirror custom made with his own "love" in it to "aide his zen and self balance" or some other sickeningly wankerish bollocks. Oh his "love" would be a drop of sweat he collected after his hat trick against some already beaten sods.

Can you pinpoint the exact moment when these opinions changed in the last 6 years, and why?

He is a moody shithouse, or at least was then. Doesn't stop him being a damn good player to. He would throw a wobbler if an attacking move didn't involve him. If he accepts this is not 2015 Madrid where the basic aim was to feed him every time they got the ball i have no issue with it. People change as they grow older.

As i say he is older and if reports are true he has talked to Pep about his role and accepts how he will be expected to play (part of the team, not some sole focal point for every attacking move) i am cool with that. There is no romanticism in it for me. This would be a mutally beneficial business arangement that benefits both parties. He wants the big time, we need a shit hot striker.

In the 6 years he has become more (than he already was) synonymous as a Madrid legend than an ex utd player to me. Add to that he went to Juve and did not give utd a second glance when he left Madrid it certainly made a statement about how he felt about utd, to me at least. He comes across as a businessman with little time for the romance side of the game to me these days. If he gets the goals, i am cool with that.
