You say “the media” as if it was reported by the Sun. It was on the BBC for feck’s sake.
Noted.
Very clearly he is going to stay as there is no intrest in him from champions league clubs.
You still don't understand how the media works. Its not about the complete truth, its always about what can drive the demand.
In case you still don't understand, let me simplify. Yes Ronaldo did consider leaving and it may have been due to his personal issues, but the media are making it seem like he is desperately leaving because of CL, money and ego. The problem isn't the leaving portion, the problem is the reason they have chosen to use. And they have run a oscar worthy story on it.
Now the issue here is you guys refuse to believe that it might be due to his personal issues and instead choose to believe the ones that suit your agenda. Furthermore, no evidence on him still wanting to leave. How about we delay the hatred until we get strong confirmation he wants to leave? As for me this will be my last post in this thread, cause there are just too many of you with this agenda.
What personal issues would make Ronaldo want to join Chelsea and Bayern and leave United?
All the most reliable sources including the BBC have reported he wants to leave due to a lack of CL football. Nowhere have any of the reliable sources indicated that he wants to leave due to personal reasons. And why would we need evidence he still wants to leave? As long as it isn’t reliably reported that he’s had a change of heart it’s perfectly rational to think he hasn’t changed his mind.
Take this to the Bank. Happy to answer any questions on the below.
ETH public position on Ronaldo is that he is a required player. Privately ETH position is that he doesn't fit into his system of proactive, high pressing football. Playing Ronaldo means that when you lose the ball you have to retreat to your own half, due to his lack of pressing, which goes against everything ETH believes in. ETH did have a private conversation with Ronaldo shortly after he took the job and laid down the law. He told him that he wouldn't be playing every game or even a guarantee that he would play every minute of games he played in and that there would be no preferential treatment. So things like flying back to Portugal if he had a hip flexor issue were prohibited. Ronaldo and Mendes took this as a sign that he wasn't in ETH plans and to save face publicly Ronaldo's position is they don't believe the ETH project.
Why didn't the club sell him straight away ? Well you don't just sell Ronaldo. It is a matter of who will take on his wages + a club that Ronaldo would himself find suitable.
Because “us guys” refuse to kiss his arse on account of an agenda, whereas fans of those clubs understand football and will be nice to him.
Neither him nor his PR team are denying being offered to the likes of Bayern or Chelsea yet the link to Sporting was swiftly shot down.
One of the goals was actually offside and the keeper made a complete mess of it.
Nonsense. This guy loves drama and being centre of attention. Remember "the future only God knows" nonsense he was spouting in 2009?
He swiftly rejected the article linking him to Sporting but has not done anything to quell other rumours.
You're in denial, Ronaldo wants out, it may not be the reason he isn't on tour but he wants out.

Ronaldo plus 70m to AM for Felix?
How on earth are you getting all these ? You’re talking about private discussions and what might have happened behind closed doors. Seriously i’m all for replacing him, i know he doesn’t have the motor to press and i think him acting like the mega star when he’s not is a problem but all that sounds like science fiction.
the biggest issue for me isnt the tactical aspect. It’s the top dog mentality
I love the sweet smell of irony in the morning.
you clearly know how the media and club works, so give us the genuine reasons everyone else is in the dark on, as you seem to know above all. so come on, and no 'it may have been', or' it seems', or i feel etc
If he wanted to leave for personal reasons he would not consider Chelsea or Bayern , he'd consider a club in Iberia.

Fake. No such club exists.
Ronaldo in danger of becoming a meme being rejected by top clubs, Manchester United in danger of becoming a meme hanging around Frenkie like a stalker. 
Both are over the hill, we aren’t so different
Both are over the hill, we aren’t so differentRonaldo was heard shouting "Do you play Champions League ? !"
The 30m euro deal from the Saudi club would've been incredible for us.
They shouted back, "no, do you?"
is united going to change their theme song to "Every Breath You Take" ?Ronaldo in danger of becoming a meme being rejected by top clubs, Manchester United in danger of becoming a meme hanging around Frenkie like a stalker.

You'd hope he finds the entire experience quite humbling about his current status in football
Awful news for us.
You are right with the bolded. It is that simple, he rubbished that Sporting link within hours, so what can we assume from rumours/links that he had not rubbished for weeks?
But of course his fanboys and girls are in damage control/copium mode now

Indeed. Slightly unhinged the lengths some people will go to to defend and protect the image of some megastar celebrity.
There could be a serious trauma issue with his wife not feeling comfortable in Manchester after what she went through, to be fair.
Absolutely. Though it needs to be borne in mind that some of the more vitriolic anti-Ronaldo’s are equally fanboys of his “rivals”, which to me undermines their credibility as critics.

I'm sorry, is "Man Utd Sainz" even reliable? He's Tier 3 on Madrids listing.

Well, someone needs to save Felix from Simeone. So please try your best.
Smells like a brief from Ronaldo's camp after the repeated rejections.
"They didn't let me go"
I wish we could get rid of Ronaldo, I think it will be very very difficult for ETH having him here as I don't really see CR7 being a bench player just because some young manager came and Ronnie doesn't fit his style of play. I see two issues here: marketing and ego.
All the best to ETH but with Ronaldo around I do think this season will be a mess.

Possibly. It's rather telling that the only teams seriously linked are ones in the CL, however.
Agreed also. Messi and Ronaldo are incredibly divisive figures for lots of people, on either sides of the spectrum. With that said, I think promoting sports stars/entertainers to demigod like beings is wrong and damaging in lots of ways, so I can see why people want to push back against that. That often spills into it going too far and people taking on some sort of vendetta against the likes of Ronaldo and it sullies the debate.
I always found the Messi vs. Ronaldo debate thread fascinating/terrifying for this. People can get totally fanatical.
That thread is to be avoided by anyone who wants to preserve their sanity. It is useful occasionally to have a quick glance at it and note who’s posting and which side they’re on though, as it alerts you to who really does have an “agenda” (yuk) against a certain player.
