He's going nowhere. I hope Ten Hag can make it work with him, we don't need this worry going into what should be a whole fresh start.

Doesn’t seem like its up to Ten Hag. Ronaldo falls in line or he’ll be warming the bench

Think he will be gone in next couple of weeks, we don't need someone in the team who isn't willing to buy into Erik's system

If his deferred wages are settled and De Jong finally decides it's time to move, I reckon he wants to play for a coach that plays him in his preferred position. Which means Ten Hag and United got an edge over the likes of Chelsea.

So why are people blaming Ronaldo when the manager made assumptions and didn't make his requirements clear?

Anyway, it's a problem for Ten Hag imo. He's not experienced the Utd fishbowl. This will be a week long press event.

Yes, the manager goes around instructing players before every game not to leave the stadium in case you get subbed early. Dude, how do you live a normal life ffs

That would be already too late. So its not right way, only way to work together with Ronaldo is to do his way and what he wants, you sub him, he will act up like a cnut, you dont start him same thing, players not passing him regardless of is that best solution or not, he will throw around his hands moaning.

Sadly, I think it is the most likely sequence of scenarios. I personally want Ronaldo out of door right now. But, it seems difficult for whatever reason.

The others have an excuse they were merely spectators.
Ronaldo played in that match. That's unacceptable, I can't believe some are defending it.

It’s not only the early exit but he directly went to the executive room, or vip room, rather than sitting with the team.

I genuinely can't wait until he leaves. As predicted by many he has created a circus and turned the club into the Ronaldo show.
I couldn't stand him when he left in 09 and my feelings are borderline hatred towards him now.
Let's be honest here. He was awful for the most part last season with his goal tally deflecting criticism of his true performances. He is a grown man acting like he's still 18, acting like he is still the best player on the planet. FFS. He isn't even the best player at the club, he wouldn't even get into my starting 11.

His ego is such that he expected an avalanche of offers when he made public his desire to leave. I'd actually find that funny except it means we could be stuck with him for another season. The split he is going to cause in the dressing room will be our downfall thus season

A club legend my arse.

A talk on Ronaldo's future.


Melissa Reddy calling out Kaveh Solhekol is too funny, around the 19th-minute mark.

It was around 12:30 mark….but wow that was actually really cringe to listen to. Kaveh really is a pure bullshitter. He’s basically just making stuff up. Melissa called him out rightly saying there isn’t actually anyone who wants him. Kaveh suggesting city as a possible destination is just brainless. Ronaldo would not be getting in ahead of Haaland and Alvarez now. He seems to think lots of clubs are interested in signing him. Well they clearly aren’t.

Posts are liked for the following reasons (this is a cheat sheet);

1) they're informative and provide personal insight
2) they're entertaining and engage with the community
3) they reference Cina's mum and her devilish ways

If a post is just long for the sake of it then it won't get a Like. The majority of my posts drone on for ages and won't get likes but I don't need them anymore so I can be childish as feck lmfao Cina's mum is a sperm repository.

Kaveh sounds like someone who has no sources and gets by purely by bullshitting.

For example people that use quantifiers often like "lots", it generally means "none but I need to make a point here" so when he's like "lots of clubs are interested" it's kind of telling for me how he is as a journalist he can't back it up with any reason or justification so blanket statements work as he needs to fill space and seem relevant. Name them specifically, which Melissa did. "Bayern categorically distanced themselves, Spurs, Chelsea also distanced themselves but they considered the commercial aspect of having Ronaldo."

People in arguments will often use those quantifiers to try to seem right (or justify themselves), when they're stating opinions "lots of people have told me that...", There's never anything to back it up.

Sky Sports really have been sliding for a long time and having sloppy journalists like him just kills it for me.

Vague ambiguous statements from Kaveh and then quantifiers like "lots" its always a hallmark of bullshit to me, just like anecdotal evidence. Trump speech.

At least Melissa has specific details which makes it plausible and she takes her job seriously. Journalist should give facts based on their contacts, not opinions. Kaveh really from that interview is someone on holiday mode that doesn't care anymore.

It’s funny how after he says “lots of clubs” and Melissa asks him who, he starts switching it up to “I’ve been told”. Such a BS’er

Terrible journalism, how he gets paid to show up and just make it up on the spot tarnishes Sky Sports who struggle already I think since the majority of news is done via twitter now. It's a shame as Carragher, Neville are top tier I think as pundits, then you have Melissa obviously breaking through and actually doing a great job, then him at the other end of the table.

Sheth is another blagger but he just sits there asking rhetorical questions to himself. He might as well be a redcafe member discussing every eventuality. They seem to keep spouting out lines that are being discussed on Twitter.

It’s incredible that a bunch of supporters didn’t see how he caused us a problem last season.

At this point it is a bit sad that he's getting rejected by everyone. Legend of the game, potential goat, having his massive ego crushed by meeting reality. No one but himself to blame of course, but not exactly the fairytale story you like to see for the end of a legends career
