Cristiano Ronaldo (I stay)

[pocco]

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

To be fair, he did say before all that "I've been told by people close to the player". I thought it was unprofessional of Reddy.

But overall, none of them have a scooby. They just know what we know from other sources.

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.

What's Cinas mum got to do with @devilish ?

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

He'll still be getting applauses at Old Trafford. Some of our fans are just too nice.

Personally I didn't begrudge him leaving in 2009 because I was brought up to believe that the club is always bigger than a player and knew we'd still be competing under Fergie.

But this whole episode of him whoring himself out while the club is trying to rebuild itself leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Back when Juventus got relegated, Del Piero and Buffon stayed to get the club back in the Serie A. This cnut can't even try to help United back on its feet just because we're not in the CL.

If we can't sell him, we have to loan him.

It’s not an inevitable end. All he had to do was humble himself and realize he’s in his last legs. Plenty of former star players have refashioned themselves as useful squad members because of their quality and mindset, there’s no reason he couldn’t age gracefully too.

He just doesn’t have the self awareness and humility to think beyond just himself.

No club in Europe wants him, Ten Hag doesn't want him and I'm not sure the dressing room at Man United want Cristiano Ronaldo': Jamie Carragher SLAMS veteran for trying to engineer a move

I like Jamie.

 

[Greck]

He expects the freedom to pick and choose when he has to be with the team. If he wasn't playing every week he'd probably be like Cavani. Thought it was mad he expected Ralf to leave him behind if he wasn't part of the squad. Understand why but that's a privilege granted at the manager's discretion. Getting subbed and skipping the bench and the manager's fulltime address to beat traffic is wild.

Also don't understand how it ever sounded normal, even if it was permitted by the club it would still be silly. People need to just apply common sense here and imagine if every sub was allowed to go straight home. They shouldn't even be asking such a privilege.

I personally think he’s struggling to accept his decline and that he’s not the player he used to be. It’s as if he’s become more defiant in trying to prove he still has it. Trying to engineer a move has backfired on. He probably thought there would be a queue of clubs after him.

Yeah that's what it feels like. Maybe I'm weird, but it makes me a bit said. Certainly not how I expected this to play out ten years ago, but like you said, it's his own ego and perception leading to this sorry state of affairs

 

[Zippycup]

To who?
I can't even see a club willing to take him on loan. There's no way the club are going to pay his wages and lose his commercial value at the same time.

Carragher trying to sabotage our season earlier than he did last season. Some people are adopting it already.

I know Ronaldo fans wouldn’t like to agree but even last season, despite his 20 odd goals there were more than enough occasions where you could see his legs couldn’t keep up. Some passages of play it looked like his balance and coordination was struggling. Yes he was still able to offer something, but the decline was there to see. It’s only going to be worse this season.

 

[Revaulx]

And I’m absolutely right. I do not support the club over the players, but its obvious in this thread that 95% of the posters are kids who hate on him just for the simple reason that they’re fans of the other guy. People were abusing him because he pulled his shorts up in a pic ffs, that seem mature to you? I think that’s BS.

I don’t care about the Ronaldo Messi debate. I like one, you can like the other. I do care about ManUtd. He’s our most lethal attacker and so I want him to stay a for a year and then we can figure something else out.

So the Illuminati are all Messi fans?

Well I suppose it’s less unhealthy than blaming it all on the Jews…

Edit: to be fair, posters like that do exist. There’s the lardon one. But they form a tiny minority.

 

[Suv666]

Cut him loose.
No one's paying a fee for him anyway at least save the wages.

Don't want to see the cnut wearing the Utd shirt ever again.

He's not just any "former star player" so that type of comparison doesn't make sense. But he should have gotten all his wishes in writing in his contract if he felt so strongly about it. Heck, he could have put "if Utd just about squeak into the EL at the end of this season, they agree to give me to Bayern for free next season" and with the optimism around the club last year, they may have agreed even to that.

A talk on Ronaldo's future.


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

Kaveh Solhekol sounds like such a bullshitter. We've all come across people like him in our lives. Such an inauthentic, sweaty, toe-sucking energy.

The latest words from ETH is very damning for Ronaldo. I was initially on his side when the news came out that he was allowed to leave, but now from the horses mouth we hear he just got up and left.

That's disgraceful behaviour, and also the other players. They should be made to apologise to the whole team including the youth players and staff the following morning, and made to work to regain their place in the team. They should all be treated the same.

I can forgive players not in the match squad for leaving early, even if I think they get paid good money for just being there and supporting the team playing.
But leaving as a sub is just a whole new level of arrogance, friendly game or not. Get rid.

I think that even if you're not in the squad you should stay and leave together, you're still part of the team even when injured/not in the squad. Otherwise what's the point in even showing up?

Leaving early is a bad look full stop, I don't even like it when fans leave early, I've never done it myself. Stay and support the team.

I've wondered if some of those criticising him leaving, are the same sort of people who turn their backs on the team and walk out of OT after 80 mins, whether we're winning or losing.
Hypocrisy or double standards?

There isn't a fan in Old Trafford being paid to watch us play and be part of whatever the team does after a match. What Ronaldo and whoever else left after that match did is unprofessional.

 

[ForeverRed1]

What a mess this is.

 

[George The Best]

We might regret not agreeing to his request to terminate the contract.

 

[redshaw]

If Messi starts scoring in the group games, he will explode. Even without that he just wants to add to his tally anyway. Hopefully if we get Sesko we can let him go, I don't think it's worth the drama and bad atmosphere.

 

[Skills]

I think Madrid winning the CL last season is what really broke him. They did it without him and the guy who scored the winner is playing in the position he was.

On top of that, if he joined City he would've had the chance to play them in the SF. That must add to his bitterness

 

[fallengt]

Would sell him to Chelsea and make them weaker tbh.
Hope their new owners push for it.

I definitely think Real winning the CL without him hit his ego. He'll feel in his mind that he was the reason a lot of those players ever won it in the first place.

Out of interest, why did he leave Madrid for Juventus? Was it his choice, or Madrid just took their last shot to get a huge fee?

He wanted a big pay raise + extension and Florentino Perez turned him down, they only offered him an extra year I believe. He threw his toys out the pram afterwards.

Can't say that it hasn't worked out for Madrid...

Ramos left for the same reason, I respect a club having a set and strict wage structure and being unwilling to bend to players over it. It's why the likes of Bayern and Madrid are where they consistently are

It was the contract I think. Madrid were only offering a short extension, while Juventus came and offered a 4 year deal.

Twisted logic.
He gets paid to play. Supporters don't get paid to watch him throwing a fit

and even if it made them better for a season who gives a shit, get his ego and his massive wages off this team asap.

On the contrary they are the ones paying

I agree with you. I think they should come to every game and stay the entire time, they get paid very very good money for being a part of the team not just for the games they play in.

But it just can't bring my piss to boil if those not part of the match squad leaves a bit early anyway, so for me it's more a thing of what's ideal and what's acceptable.

You are assuming city would of got to the semi with him in the team.

He wanted a pay raise after the 3 peat and real said no while perez was chasing Neymar. Also I believe he was butthurt about real not wanting to help pay his fine for tax evasion.

Consistently injury prone player gets injured. What a shock. At least we have all that depth up front... oh wait
