I don't think staying at real madrid at the time is an option for him as he knew the management no longer appreciate him anymore and plan to replace his role in the team with Bale, and that's why he and Zidane left.
Watch them trying to top that level of devotion
Ah well, he made a mistake then. I thought it sensible at the time from Real's perspective to let him go. After all they brought him at 24 and then recouped the transfer money at 33, a brilliant move from a business point of view.
Admit it sham, you'll dye your hair light blue, sign up to Bluemoon and start supporting City if he signs!
Playing in a harder league = never matched his ambition.
Yeah. His (and Perez’s) ego cost him and Madrid in the end as they had long standing disputes which was what led to his eventual departure.
How is that in relation to emotional state?
Good grief. Everything that’s wrong with a modern football fan in one post. I think I vomited a bit in my mouth.
I can sort of relate to this to a bit. I love American sports, but Ronaldo playing for City would feel very similar in that there isn't that same level of loyalty with players, and they will play for any team given the right circumstances.
Losing love for the game for me has nothing to do with emotional state though, well for me anyway. I'll just sigh and move on, like with most of the shite things that happen in football these days. People on here seem like they'll actually cry or it'll cause some inner conflict with their love of Utd because of how much they adore Ronaldo, which is baffling.
Whilst slowly backing the feck away.
Typical Ronaldo/Messi thread then…Well, this thread took a mental turn
I tend to steer welllllllll clear of those!
That depends on how you thought of football and players. Belief that players are actually emotionally attached to clubs and care about the clubs is by and large very misguided.
I've seen players come and go since supporting United.
Did you genuinely believe he cared about the club when he pulled off all the slavery nonsense and the "Only God knows the future" nonsense every summer?
"Here son, we've all got our vices. Yeeeeaaar back in '78 I fell down a deep miserable hole. Violence. Abuse. Self loathing. Destruction. All for the bottle. Just one measure I said. And again. And again. Finally got wise to it. Kids don't wanna know now. All messed up like but thas life. What 'bout you boy. What's your story?"
Weird question. How many times you have fapped over Man Utd then?
No.
Tricky one, if United has a chance to win the title but Ronaldo scored a last minute winner to win it for City, I'd probably be very very sad as United fan but proud as Ronaldo fan. Its mix of feeling very sad and proud, so its complicated. Its like losing a match which means alot to you, but also winning a bet which earns you a good amount of reward. Life is never as simple or linear as you might think it is.
It's an honest question, you seem pretty obsessive so i'd say it's only logical you've tugged one out.
I am also very obsessive about Man Utd. Everyone is obsessive into something to various degree. For me, obsession on Man Utd vs Ronaldo is 6:4.
Not really. Rooney didn't really go public until Fergie had that press conference (quite the masterstroke). That's when all the information came out. Now compare this to a certain Portuguese who gave interview after interview crying about his desire to leave, his "slave" like treatment and his desire to play in white. When you think of that, the crazy adulation Ronaldo receives is nuts. The man may have admired/loved Fergie but he couldn't care less about United. I understand why people disliked Rooney but it's the completely opposite treatment that Ronaldo got for behaving in a FAR worse and, you know, actually leaving the club, is bewildering.
The respect and affection I had for Rooney stopped in 2010 when all that shit happened and it never came back.
