Sure. I didn't say he won't care.
Cristiano Ronaldo | Signs for United! Fcuk City

But he doesn’t really care about his status with United fans. If he did he wouldn’t have left in the first place. He has more Champions Leagues than anyone else yet he strives for one more.
3 negative news stories going around about city. Nothing some oil cash cant gloss over
Also let's not forget how insulated and out of touch these guys can be. I mean he's been an enormous star for so much of his life, who knows what level of reasonable human being is left in there?
Guy I know works at a hotel that Johnny Depp was staying at, Depp had to ask this dude where a person goes to buy toothpaste.
Ronaldo might have it in his head that winning a CL at both Manchester clubs is a more legendary opportunity than anything else he can do. Who knows?
It’s not a moot point at all.
The reason I posed that hypothetical scenario is because I am genuinely interested in what your seemingly vague criteria is when it comes to labelling someone as a club legend or not.
In black and white - are you saying that he would still be a legend in your eyes if he joined Leeds United?
You seem to be suggesting that it would be ok if he joined a rival club who are not as good as United.
If it happens I hope we boo him at OT.
That’s bullshit and you know it. It’s not like he was born and went straight to acting and was rich from day 1.
Let's be real here, he's going to City and Pep to win absolutely everything, they are in a much better position than where he is now with Juve.
We had better! I'm trying not to get too invested in this, but even the idea is infuriatingly annoying.
My point isn’t really that deep. I think on ability Ronaldo is the best to play for Man Utd and the best in the Premier League. The fact that he’s one of the best of all time helps his claim. Just don’t think many players come close to that level of ability, including Henry. If you could choose peak Arsenal Henry or peak Man Utd Ronaldo for one season only who would you choose?
I sometimes wonder if a part of Fergie doesn’t mind seeing United’s slump as it further cements his legacy. If Moyes had took over & continued winning titles you would’ve heard “was Fergie that great or did he just have great players?” But given that we’ve seen managers like LVG & Mourinho fail, it must give Fergie a slight ego boost.
Or maybe he loves the club unconditionally & wants us to win leagues without him.
only he knows I guess.
That was mainly a garbage reply to a garbage poster
.If this happens, and obviously nobody is sure whether it will or won’t at this stage, but if it does.. I genuinely hope he gets it both barrels from the United fans, it’s an absolutely scummy thing to do, he has absolutely no need to move there.. he’s at the end of his career, he doesn’t need to win anymore trophies, is it really so bad in Italy? I can’t believe the only option for him at this stage is completely tarnishing his legacy with the club that essentially made him the player he is.. imagine Yaya Toure joining United for the last year of his career.. surely he knows it’s a bad move?
There’s only like three clubs in the world he should probably avoid singing for at this stage.. Barcelona, Liverpool, City… just go to sporting and retire a living legend ffs..

This. He will complete this City side and add that CL pedigree they have been missing.
I've always been fond of Ronaldo and a possible return, but I think his love gravitated around Sir Alex more so than the actual club.
100% the correct decision not buying Ronaldo. Next season we hopefully go for Haaland.
Of course Ronaldo has been offered to United. Probably several times over the years
Yes of course that will have an impact. If city and Utd are operating at a similar level then Ronaldo going to city could be the difference maker that makes the gulf even wider and ensures city continue to win titles that Utd could be winning. That’s a double negative. If Ronaldo went to Leeds, he’s not really a threat to Utd, and while it would be disappointing for him to join a rival club, at least that isn’t haven’t a directly negative impact on the playing field.
No. They won't win it. Pep will feck again overthinking in a crucial knockout game.
I assumed that narcotics were involved prior to the question being asked. Because as you said, he knows where you purchase toothpaste, also actors tend to have success "late" in life, most of them have struggled for a long time. Depp is a bit of a counter example but he still only had success in his twenties and you know where to purchase toothpaste at that age.
lets be honest, if the allegations are true, no amount of sportswashing will help.
I mean, he picked Moyes, didn't he?
He is a very smart man but I doubt he would be that scheming!
If the deal was to happen, I guess it would just be a 1 year deal and they will go back in for their long term target Kane next summer or try and get Haaland?
The one where he was better than one in two still? Too much is made of this season because of all the noise around his departure. His performances didn't dip that badly.
City winning many CL titles?
Your two examples have the grand total of 0 CL wins.
If he is to move he would want a 2 year deal minimum.
I kind of hope it happens. I have no real sentimental feelings about Ronaldo, and I don't think he would improve City. He'll score a bunch of goals but will also ruin a lot of promising moves by shooting from impossible angles. I'm not sure all the goals outweigh the bad anymore, certainly not in a Pep side which I don't think he's very suited to. I'm actually a little surprised City would feel like this is a good idea.
Best case scenario is that the EPL is too fast for him these days, he flops and causes a Pep and City meltdown.
Could be more trouble than he’s worth
Could be more trouble than he’s worth
Huh? He was miles better from 06-09.
Exactly, think about how much worse that is, he's doing it as like, a bit. Man's brain is warped.
You are deliberately being silly now.
Are you suggesting that City and PSG aren’t two of the best teams in world football at the moment who have a good chance of winning the champions league over the next 2/3 seasons?
You know, the bookies know and I know, that they are favourites for a reason.
CIty missed out on Messi and getting CR7 is great for them commercially, not sure about wise it is from a footballing perspective
I actually think Pep would be reluctant becauase of the media circus
Messi officially the GOAT on here if this goes through
I mean he already is everywhere else but here

But that claim is based on what he did with Madrid, your point makes little sense because you are completely ignoring context or facts in order to make a claim that is very difficult to defend. He doesn't have the best single season in the PL history and doesn't have longevity either.
And to answer your question I would pick Henry, he contributed to 44 goals in the league while Ronaldo contributed to 38 goals, on top of that Henry outperformed Ronaldo's best contribution 3 times in a row. And we both know that Henry wasn't just a stat padder. Now if you give me the choice between peak Madrid Ronaldo and peak Henry, I pick Ronaldo every single times.
Over 100 pages of this shit. Do you really give a toss about this. Old money grabbing looking for his best last hoorah. This shouldn't surprise anyone.
If he had a mentality like that, he wouldnt be Ronaldo.
He doesnt care about being a United legend, he cares about being a football legend. More trophies will only help, and bragging rights that he went to PL while Messi went to farmer's league.
I don’t think you need to be a rocket science to understand those are the teams who currently give him the best chance of winning at least one more UCL title in the next couple of years. I never said he was moving to a club with history.
Schmeichel was probably worse, he quit us after 99 saying wanted to retire and couple seasons later hes playing for City
I’m saying if he wants to win a CL then going to 2 teams who have never won it and have fecked it up every single season isn’t an argument to make.
It’s not as if they are unlucky here or there. They completely bottle it and it’s a yearly occurrence.
How is that the best chance of winning anything? Where has Ronaldo even said this?
