If he so wished Ronaldo could release a staement all on his own account and quit this forever hedging his bets nonsesne.

I do not believe that he is playing for a better contract, he'd get a more than decent one regardless and comments sucha s these are not new and so would make little impact IMO.

In some ways what he has said is fairly typical footballer Page Ranking speak, and he is trying to play to an audience in England and one in Spain that he does not wish to annoy before time. Though ultimately he is a player under contract to this club and receives due adoration for what he has done for us, and i think that the supporters and the management dserve a little more respect in it all.

Say no comment or be utterly frank about it.

More poor handling than aything as it stands, maybe the club could look to find him a new agent. Tevez has expressed similar aspirations, a desire to end his career elsewhere, but his interactions with the media seem to reflect better on all concerned player and club alike.
