I've found it's way worse with Americans. Europeans tend to obsess over individual players but they don't often change their supporting club. Instead they just transfer the obsession over to the new club as a secondary fascination. With Americans, I know loads that just outright changed their team because their favourite brand changed franchise.

Well at least this has this years fanboy of the year redcafe award sewn up. A nice easy win right there.

He could don his full Ronaldo kit or perhaps get a tailor made version of his favourite Ronaldo ballon d’or suit and when his winning award is announced he can yell SUUUUUUUU at the computer as we all applaud

That’s what I said. They follow the player regardless of what team they play for.

I think it's gone beyond fanboy with him.

Genuinely bizarre, I hope he's just taking the piss and making it up.

I can proudly say I stopped giving a shit about Ronaldo when he said we were treating him like a slave.
Yeah, as soon as he left United that was it really. He was a great player for us, but we've had many great players. Don't get the hero-worship of him by United fans. He's a Real Madrid legend, not a United one. His best and most successful years were with them and I always associate him with Madrid, despite being a United fan myself.

I also don't think he has a particular affinity for United. Beyond the fact that he played here for a few years. His love is for Fergie, not us as a club.

He can sign with City for all I care. A great player but he never hides his favorite club is Real Madrid and he's after trophies. Our club was just one of stages where he worked to become a next level superstar and that's it. He doesn't care much about United, I hardly remember him attending any of our matches or even watching us on TV, whereas Rooney, Beckham, Berbatov, Van Persie do it occasionally.
Spot on. He should be remembered here for being a great player for us, albeit for a relatively brief spell. Outside of that, he was generally a bit of a twat and agitated for a move to Madrid at the first opportunity. The love-in for him is quite bizarre really.

Fair play to the guy, it's the first time someone actually admitted being a fanboy. And that silly word is thrown around a lot here.

One question @RedRonaldo, what does your wife think about Ronaldo obsession. Do you think about him while doing.. You know.. Nudge nudge. You know what I'm talking about.

I'm pretty sure he has said his only real friend in football is Fergie.

I don't think he has any loyalty or affection to anything else in football except Fergie. He's a cut throat ruthless win at all costs sort.

If his best option for money and trophies was the major rivals of Sporting CP or the major rivals of Real Madrid he'd be fine going there too.

He used United in the same way Suarez used Liverpool. To put himself on the world stage to engineer a move to Madrid/Barca. You really think Suarez would care about upsetting Liverpool if United or Everton came in for him? Ronaldo is the same.

Don't forget Evra and Rafael.

City would be a good move for him. Stellar chance at winning a CL and another PL trophy.

I'm hearing PSG and Manchester City. I honestly cant see City as being a destination. PSG however could be as its a new league for him right?

He dreamed of playing for Barcelona when he was young at Man Utd, I remember a player confirming that in an interview, before joining his dream club Real Madrid a few years later. As people have said, his loyalty was to Ferguson and not Manchester United. Love the player but he has always been a dick.

Yes but, I assume everyone has some sort of unhealthy obsession on something (alcohol, sex, porns, gambling, smoking, football, music, politics, checking out birds, or even golfing etc) It’s just the degree of obsession isn’t same for everyone. If it’s manageable I think it’s perfectly fine.
Fair enough mate. Not trying to poke fun at you or anything like that I was just genuinely curious about this, but you’ve explained yourself well, and you are well aware of what you’re engaging in, so all I can say is thank you for taking our questions and all the best.

If you're sat there cheering Ronaldo scoring goals for fecking City then you aren't a proper Utd fan.
:lol: Can't believe a United fan thinks like that

Anyhoo, I'm not sure City and Ronaldo suit each other but he's a great goalscorer and they lack one so it would probably work out well. Not sure this will happen as I'm not sure Pep fancies the deal.

Dear Ronaldo, I wrote you but still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, feck it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter?
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I'm a call her?
I'ma name her Cristiano
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
I even got the underground shit that you did with Sporting
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
I like the shit you did with United too, that shit was fat
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
This is RedRonaldo

If you told me I had to pick a player City get this summer out of Ronaldo and Kane I’d pick Ronaldo every time. I know we sometimes write players off a bit too soon on here but the guy is 36. Still a quality player, obviously, but I wouldn’t be as worried seeing him there compared to a world class forward who isn’t even 30 yet.

Qatar sign Messi
UAE go after Ronaldo

Football is just a play ground for grubby sports washers and other corrupt millionaires

Exactly, schmeichel is still a legend. Law scored the goal that relegated Utd while playing for city. He's still a utd legend.

My thoughts on Ronaldo wouldnt change if he joined city. City wouldnt be getting that lighting fast winger, or the muscular powerhouse he was at madrid. They will be getting a 37 year old penalty box poacher.
Law had to make a living. He wasn't a multi millionaire when United let him go.

To me Schmeichel definitely did taint his reputation a bit.

Of course he did. And so did Andy Cole

But at least it was when City were shit

Well afterall I am just a fanboy for very long period of time, it’s all about fanboy mentality, abit of **** thing in terms of my support/worship, I won’t be ashamed to admit it, as I have already stressed that I could only speak for myself.

Its very different thing as compared to traditional fan who would only support for their club. For me, I support both, almost equally.

In perspective, I will support Man Utd for the rest of my life, but I could only support Ronaldo for a few more years as he is approaching his retirement. With him joining our rivals for a short period of time, won’t stop me from cheering his goals.
So if City went into the last game needing to win otherwise United are crowned champions, you’d celebrate a Ronaldo winner in the 90th minute that hands them the title?

In fairness that's because the players you have listed are retired, Ronaldo is still competing. I can't imagine Juve would be happy to see him in Old Trafford on a Sunday instead of in their line up :D
