Following Ronaldo’s pink flower in the hair. plenty of people were ready to take the piss. However, this is possibly the most feminine thing we will ever hear one of our players say.
“I don’t know why people are so interested in what I wear on holiday?” said Ronaldo. “Last year, everyone was talking about my tight trunks. What is wrong with wearing tight pants? They look good and it’s better than having tan lines down you legs. This year it was the pink hat with the flower. I don’t see what is wrong with it. I can see why, if you weren’t comfortable with your sexuality, you might not wear it. But I’m very comfortable so it’s not a problem for me. Men wear pink these days. Ok, not many men wear flowers, but its good to be different.”
Predictably, Ron reckons he’s the best dressed at United, but concedes Rio isn’t far behind.
“Am I the best dresser at Manchester United? Yes, I would like to think I am,” he continued “But most of the boys are pretty sharp dressers, especially Rio Ferdinand. He knows how to dress to impress.”
Man Utd News 24/7
What a cunt. Gotta love the bloke. Only Ronnie would wear summat like that and say those kind of things. At least he is still talking about United and Rio etc!
I was just waiting for some trendsetter to trailblaze a path for me – my pink hat with flower is making it’s debut this weekend!
I agree with King Eric, this is at least better than the endless discussion about Real Madrid.
Pink flower,lol!But he is right.Rio Ferdinand’s fashion sense is a touch above the rest.
In the great tradition of David Beckham and that sarong. As Posh told him when he got sent off against Argentina in the World Cup, ‘But your hair looked great, babes…’
I thought Evra was rated the best dresser at OT?
Lmao! What a legend.
I would… twice
is he considered a legend yet?
get rid of him
all the media talk is of a 6 year instalment scheme….. surely that wouldn’t benefit us at all…..
OK I know it is media bullshit..but still…. if Milan are getting 56mill up front for Kaka (way over-priced) why would we take 13 mill a season for 6 years… Madrid would make more than 13 million a season on the marketing of Ronaldo.
I hate reading the bullshit from the papers in June.. but it does pass time in work
I’m just thinking of all the old Manchester boys when I was a kid, down on’t beach at Blackpool once a year, with the string vest on, burnt as red as a lobster up top, trousers rolled up and legs a whiter shade of pale, wife sat on a towl with an icecream in one hand and the nipper in t’other. Those were the days, when men were men and sheep were nervous – and now we have this big girls blouse harping on about tan lines, skimpy shorts and pink hats with flowers on!! Get rid of the bugger, sharpish! We don’t want to be cheering on a twat with a pink (flowery) hat every week! I was all for keeping him until this, but let’s grab the £82 million before Perez gets to hear about it. Bloody hell!
Being the only player stepping off the team bus in Rome with his suit jacket collar up, I’d have to say ‘TWAT’.
Funny comment there though!
A PINK FUCKING HAT WITH A MATCHING PINK FLOWER!?!!?!
oh for god sake. what the hell has the world come to modern day footballers have lost all sense of reality.FACT!
great to read ronaldo news that has nothing bad behind it
@dean i cant really see why not he’s won everything with united including scoring innearly every kinda final
he’s the first premierleague world player of the year + scoring 42 goals in one season breaking records
his heart seems to be in madrid
but his focas is at united when he has been here
he has done too much in the short time he has been at united for me to hold anything against him if he leaves
@OP why?
he’s one of the best players in the world
do ya want him with ya or against ya
I am in noway a ronaldo hater
i love the guy
he is the single most frustrating football ive ever seen and sometimes you just wanna smack him but thats my love for him.
Manchester united are the most frustrating team you can come across
blitz past arsenal in a 2 leg champions league semi final
but lose 2 nil and 2 players in a must win against fulham
GET RID OF HIM is the worst thing you want you want to get behind him because he wants to be the best and at manchester united he is and can get better so as long as he’s a red he’ll give his all, not like some argentinean players past and present(?) who have all the gifts to be the best at there trade but chose money ,bitching to the papers and running down there own player for there own good, your not gonna find a bigger ego at united than Ronaldos but like it or not he want the team to win for himself to be the best
The noises coming out of Madrid suggest a Ronaldo deal is imminent. If so, I’ll be appalled.
When Fergie said a few months back that he wouldn’t sell ‘that mob’ a virus, I felt really proud that here was a manager who was not afraid to stand up to the bullies.
But now it could be that the bullies might win after all. Would Sir Matt have given in to the bullies? We had George Best, the greatest player in the world, and you can bet there were plenty of offers for him. What would Sir Matt have done if Real Madrid had tried their nonsense?
Come on, Fergie. Don’t let the fans down. I’m not making a particular plea to keep Ronaldo – although I don’t want him to go – but I want the club to take a stand. Real Madrid feel they can bully everyone else to do their bidding. We are big enough to stop them. All we need is the resolve to show the true United spirit that can never be crushed, no matter what the pressure.
Judging by the quality ladies Ronnie pulls I think I’ll buy two pink hats with extra flowers.
That’s all Ronaldo is good for these days: flirting around in pink undies with pink hair and being a sissy to the core. Looks matter a lot to him ever since he hit 42 goals. His footballing days are over. He hasn’t the belly for real football any more. Sayonara!
The only thing funnier that Ronaldo’s piss-taking with the press is seeing the kind of “masculine” reaction that he gets from some of you. The kid has to put up with incredible intrusions into his privacy – yeah, I know, that’s the price of his success – and can only deal with them by mocking those who think that what he wears is serious journalism. The fact that some of you fall into line with this shite is equivalent to the way in which Ingerland fans start singing “Rule Brittania” when a goal or two is slotted past the bakers, deliverymen, and unemployed building workers who play for powerhouses like Andorra or Kazakhstan.
@daveob82:
The intallment scheme is a joke.There is no way we should accept that.Perez got a bargain when he gor Beckham only for 23 million which were also payed in installments.If we are going to sell our most prized asset we have to be smart about it.
@ ghtt youve hit the nail square on the head. as a man he is frustrating, hes selfish and arrogant – as well as vain as this interview proves. but he is arguably the best player in the world and we’d be much better keeping him than not. plus i cant stand the thought of that perez cunt getting everything his own way.
He makes me laugh. Ronaldo is as far away from your archetypal male football player as you could imagine. It’s funny to see him acting and dressing in such a way when insecurities about the sexuality of professional sportsmen are as rife as ever. “Lads” up and down the country will be froffing at the mouth in their haste to condemn this foray into femininity.
Should he go, I’d prefer it minus the fanfare that precedes these big transfers. It makes a refreshing change from Real Madrid stating their unashamed interest in another club’s player.
GHHT – Great post mate and could not agree more.
Denton – Spot on as usual.
Ted Pere Challi – That’s all Ronaldo is good for? What about the fact he was United’s top scorer. Again, by a country mile? What about his two goals to bring us back into the game against Villa? His belter against Porto? His two against Spurs? His goals against Arsenal? Unbelievable, what is wrong with some United fans? Are you a United fan?
Ronnie isn’t going anywhere.
He is contracted to Manchester United for a few years yet.
SAF doesn’t want to sell. Regardless of what Ronnie wants.
End of story.
Plus I couldn’t care less what he wears.
As long as he keeps performing on the pitch.
I agree AlphaRS. They are saying he has contacted the fascists doctors to look at his hernia. Last I read he had been in touch with United’s medical team. It is funny , when the Kaka deal was going through there was no mention of Ronnie in the media. Now that deal has gone through they need to sell papers so guess what?
Regardless of all the issues the Nike/Adidas sponsorship is a huge stumbling block for Madrid.
AlphaRS spot on mate. I couldn’t agree more but I’m not sure that Ronnie wants to go at least until he sees how the new “Galacticos” era works out! He does after all want silverware and Real have a way to go to match barcelona and United never name surpass them.
Ella
I would like to agree that Ronaldo isn’t going anywhere.And i don’t buy into the crap that a Real doctor has seen him.Something else concerns me.I wrote it in the Gary Neville topic.Perez said that he won’t go after Alonso(even though they need a DM more than Ronaldo) because Liverpool have been adamant about not selling him.Why hasn’t he said the same thing about Ronaldo?Could it be possible that we have invited their interest?The club or SAF have yet to say anything on this subject in the last few months.
Perez, who conceded in
an interview with Spanish radio programme ‘Radiogaceta de los Deportes’ that a
deal would not be pursued while Bayern remain reluctant to sell.
‘Ribery belongs to Bayern and [the club] does not want to sell,’ he said.
‘Therefore I have to be respectful to the club. It is another thing if they change their mind.’
wtf?? so bayern say no, thats ok. united say no, oh wait, we’ll keep harrassing them until they say yes!
Rafa Nadal played in pink at Roland Garros. And he lost for the first time there in the 4th round

100 mln for Ronaldo if he wants to go.
They will recuperate the money in 2 years time so fuck off and don’t pretend you are stupid!
@marno:
Or maybe we haven’t said no yet.
And no fuckinh instalment
DD
no fucking way, and i am serious!
By the way, assuming they did buy Ronaldo – and we’d be expecting more than AC received for Kaka – where is all of this money coming from? I know Real Madrid have always been able to pull money from their ass, but over £110 million seems exuberant even by Perez standards.
Sorry to pereputate the Ronaldo transfer talk, but does anybody have any links that could shed some light on this? Thanks.
Bebeto
they will recuperate all of te money in 1-2 years time. and Perez has been saying about the issue for some days.
I heard that Perez & Real Madrid are not willing to pay the 75 million. They seem to value Ronaldo at 26million.
Sorry what?! 26 Million!! hahahahahahahahaaaaaaa.
Real are a joke. Obviously trying to make that £260Million stretch a little further.
I’m glad i’m off to the States soon, Can have a nice break from Ronaldo. At least I will be able to come back and the transfer window will be open.
Ronaldos sitting pretty whatever happens – if he stays with us he picks up £25 million from Madrid – thats if you believe that there is a precontract with Madrid. If he goes he picks up £200,000 a week in wages and becomes even more famous as the most expensive player ever in world football. I think he will go and Utd are only quite at the moment until the internationals are over this week and also because Sir Alex is on holiday and they usually don’t move until he returns (there has been the odd exception to this but not often).
Valencia plus at least one other to come in when Ronny goes.
Costas – The dippers and Alonso don’t sell papers, they are not big enough news like Ronnie and United! Simple as that.
That’s true King Eric.But the same thing happened with Ribery.Today Perez said that they wouldn’t pursue him unless Bayern changed their mind.And i do remember Hoeness coming out and saying that Ribery is not for sale(“with 50 million they can’t buy one of Ribery’s legs”).We have been awfully quiet this whole time.Ironically,this summer Ronaldo has denied the rumors more than the club have.
RadioDeadon@16:02 – right on. The silence coming out of OT has been deafening.
I’m not sure that this has to do with SAF’s wine-gurgling in southern France so much as a reprise of two years ago when David Gill was given a list of players – Hargreaves, Anderson and Nani – and instructed to do the business.
We were all expecting to see a strong bid for Hargreaves but the other two were really surprising – there had been the usual “seagulls following the trawlers” rumours about both of them but nothing substantial, then KAPOW !
This is really the great benefit to come from the Glazers’ ownership – transfer dealings can be done privately and in secret.
IF Carlitos is really considering switching his paymaster to Shitty then I’d not be surprised to see an experienced, veteran striker brought in along with some additional mid-field reinforcements to provide depth and insurance in the case that Hargreaves can only make limited appearances. Of course, I’d like to be surprised and discover that Gill has done the deal for both Karim Benzema and Daniele di Rossi !
well said GHTT. i don’t give a shit what Ron wears as long as he performs for United.
ghtt/denton davey, could not have said it better.
Us female fans are definitely not comlaining about the short shorts…just sayin; the pink flower on the other hand…
i just think that some footballers greed is getting mixed in with others ego
anyway im having a beer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dkLK3DtkSc&
and watching united win the title against west ham
oh cold beer
im pretty happy that Ronaldo is talking about his tanlines and not his “dreams”. But come on David Gill put a statement out there that our boy is not for sale.
I think a few of you are a little deluded about CR7.
GHTT – you mention the argies – is that not exactly what Ronnie did all last summer?
Also everyone is saying he is still contracted etc. But next summer he can buy his own contract out for some where in the realm of £12m – now I know a lot football people have said that this will never happen between big teams but I wouldn’t put anything past the Madrid ‘mob’ and past Ronaldo himself.
I appreciate he is a great player etc – but his heart isn’t with us and we should cash in whilst the price is high so we don’t have to put up with this stupid cat and mouse game every year. He is a bit of a prat who loves his own image.
I also believe a couple more injuries and a little bit of deterioration in pace and he will lose most of what makes him great – unlike Messi he doesn’t have the gift of guile.
Also everyone was distraut when Ruud went but Ronnie stepped up perhaps Roon can now emerge as the world class player we all know he is. In fact all of us who watch united regularly (at OT) know that the emotion when Wayne is on the ball outstrips Ronnie – I believe he can emerge from his shadow should CR7 move on.
I say all that – but I will say that if he was to sign a new 5 year contract this summer I would forgive him and feel happy for him to remain.
But the way I see it he is either sold or he signs a new deal.
No compromise one or other
We do not want to be held hostage by this guy and his agent as his contract winds down
@OP
I have also heard about the buyout clause he has next summer.I also agree that this summer he will either sign a new contract or leave.And i think it will be the latter.I don’t like any of the noises that are coming out today.But the worse one of them all, is the club’s silence.By the way, by tomorrow, we might know Tevez’s decision.Another subject on which i am expecting the worst.
Costas it isn’t a buyout clause – it is a new legal thing (I think the Webster Ruling) where you just pay out the last two years.
I am not too worried by the clubs silence as we are not media whores like most other clubs globally.
Also as many say SAF is off in France.
We only spoke out last summer after continuous media coverage/speculation – we have only had a couple of days so far this summer. Prepare for the shit storm people
A new contract is deffo the way forward. I know that alot of supporters have lost all respect for Ronnie, but i really dont think he would buy his own contract out…noway would he do that to the club that his given him so much and no way will the club allow this to happen. Also on a selfish note, im sure that he wants to be the worlds most expensive player! I really hope the rumours of negotiations are not true because he still has so much to offer the club. To be honest people who are saying that we should cash on him…realistically his value is not going to dramatically fall in the next 2 years. He’s a winner and who know’s maybe he is not even at his peak yet. Also from a commercial point of view he worth is still growing, so lets hold on to him for a couple of seasons yet. The balls in our court because the Fascists will still pay silly money in 2/3 seasons for him.
@OP
Yeah, that’s the buyout clause i was referring to. That’s something Valencia might use next summer in order to join us. That’s why Wigan are so keen to sell him now. I am not asking David Gill to do what Perez is doing, but is it that hard to make a 3 line announcement that Ronaldo is not for sale? Perez will back off if that happens. Just like he apparently has for Ribery and Alonso.
Offtopic- is the england game being shown in india. if anyone knows then please tell.
Scott how about a Ronaldo shirt that reads “What is wrong with wearing tight pants?”
OP – he didnt Ronaldo did none of those last summer
the problem was he did nothing and said nothing last summer when it came to united
Tevez and heinze have come out saying in short “im bigger than this team who wants to buy me” on wants city one wanted and maybe still wants liverpool
Ronaldo wanted and still wants his boy hood club
if he’s smart he should stay with united
id say he’ll do this
see how this new madrid works out
if it grows he may jump in 10/11 season
if it fails he’ll stay
but you know his ego wants him to be the greatest ever footballer
so where he plays next season he’ll play like the worlds best and make sure the team he’s playing for are the worlds best so his star will shine brrighter
Oh dear….
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11667_5372803,00.html
Yes AlphaRS. It’s gettong worse by the hour today. That’s why i have been begging for a clarification from the team. Correct me if i am wrong but at no point last year did a Real official claim that they were in negotiations with us. Of course that doesn’t mean that a deal will be made.
England to win 7-0 with Rooney banging in 2, Heskey banging in 2, Gerrard & Lamps both getting one, and Gary Neville scoring a screamer from 30 yards in the 93rd minute. Capello dies of a heart attack, and Neville becomes the new face of Adidas ‘Impossible is Nothing.’
its simple as this
sign a new contract ronnie or piss off to the sun, i cant take this every summer!!!!
4 minutes gone and Rooney on score sheet. He is a different class to the rest of those muppets. Got to play that position for United next season. Love the way he is the only one that does not sing that insipid anthem of ours. Also love the way the trumpeter cunts did the tune of “white pele”.
Let’s say Ronaldo will leave for 75 mills, what do you want to do with that money? I don’t think A.Valencia is good enough to replace him, I guess only one player in the world could fill Ronaldo’s shoes and that’s Messi…and he will never leave Barca.
If we lose Ronaldo to Real I would like us to sign Ribery but I reckon that will cost us a lot and I’m not sure if Fergie wants to splash 40-50mills on him. Besides Ribery has said he wants to play in Spain. Another option is David Silva, he might be cheaper since Valencia are having money troubles.
My goodbye list:
Ronaldo – 75mills
Tevez – 0mills
Campbell – 6 mills
Simpson – 2 mills
Manucho 2 – mills
Gibson – 4 mills
Total: 89 mills.
My buy in list: De Rossi, Ribery/Silva and a striker. The money raised through those possible sales will cover all of those purchases.
On another note, are you watching Rooney in the England – Andorra game? We should never place him on the wing again…
Who cares about England?
After all the Anti Man Utd songs and media vilification of blaming United players for all that goes wrong with England I couldn’t give a fcuk.
Off topic….Rooney scores again. I mute the TV when he scores because I hate them cunt Ingerlund fans chanting his name, when they are the same scum who abuse him whenever he is playing for United. I want to make one thing abundently clear, and that is, I will not watch England if none of our boys are playing. Rooney must play a more central role for United next season.
@Gudjohsen:
I think we will have to change our formation. I say use that money to buy a midfield enforcer,a defender and a striker and start playing 4-3-1-2.I know many United fans will hate it if we play without wingers but it could be our only solution.Good wingers are hard to come by, so i say play 3 CMs(Carrick,Fletcher and Hargo/Ando/new CM),Berbatov in front of them and Rooney and the new striker up front.Just an idea.I don’t care who comes and goes,Rooney must play in attack.End of story.
I think he should come out the closet personally
Perez states that Real have yet to approach united to even ask if he is available but will be making contact in the next few days.
From the way Perez has talked about Ribery and Alonso he has however made contact with Bayern and Liverpool.
The other guy from Real imho is just being the Media Whore that seems to be a requirement to be part of Real
Sod Madrid lets swop him for inesta or xavi plus cash!
ps he is a top player but he is a big girls blouse, can;t see nobby stiles or norman whiteside in that hat!
Maybe it’s an Oriental thing, but men over here (e.g. Bali ) wear sarongs / flowers whenever they want and are still completely MEN. You guys need to lighten up (or get less homophobic). The pink flowers dont seem to hinder CRon’s progress with the ladies now innit?
He’s a footballer, as long as he scores / assists on 56 million goals again next season he can wear a fuchsia pink bikini for all I care.
On Perez, why do we have to talk about Madrid each summer. Ignorance is bliss.
maicon isnt happy at inter….so perhaps we shud sign him as our RB? great player! plus Gattuso for a few years, then Fletcher and Ando will grow up!
plus Etoo, if he is not happy at barca….sell tevez and ronaldo…and give nani a chance…do sign valencia…….
sell him and lets get silva or ribery
Fuck off to Madrid you greasy cunt
80 mil is still a good price for him
I hope you are happy now Ronaldo.
5live just pointed out that we have got £80million for him, while Newcastle United are worth £100million. Hilarious.
But I’m not laughing
Good riddance. £80m is a great price for someone who does not want to be here.
From the very first time he said ‘he was happy at United’, I knew the ungreateful scheming bastard was lying. I hope that he flopps there and Barca win 10 titles in a row.
It would be nice to play them next year in CL and give hm the treatment he really deserves.
Seriously, 18 days ago that fuck said “this is my home”. The more I think about it the more its beginning to hurt. What a cunt!
Well, at last he is gone. The pain and bitterness I have from last year, when he made sure we fans could not celebrate an amazing season and a historic Champions League victory, have re-surfaced with avengance. His attitude since then has been plain for all to see, but we fans have tried to cover up for him and ‘invent’ other circumstances that could account for his pathetic body language and petulance. The way he denounced his ‘true love’ when they were humiliated by Barca gave us false hope. We thought he had finally come out and stated his allegiance to our great Club. Now we know the true nature of this child’s character, a mercenary, a Judas, a primadonna, a flowery twat in a pink hat! Don’t give me all this about his ‘boyhood teram’. Two months ago he had confined Real Madrid to the bin. He could see himself spending most of his career with us. This team was doing special things he wanted to be part of. Manchester was his home now – God it makes me sick to the stomach to realise how this twat has played this club, the fans, his fellow players and Sir Alex. We must make sure that he is never ever spoken of as a United legend. He said himself that he wanted that but he must never be allowed to sit alongside our true heroes. He must be removed from this club as quickly and expensively as possible with the full knowledge that the only way for him now is down!!
King Eric, the test of player’s performance, and commitment to a club, that pays him an exorbitant sum of money, is his constancy in performance, not in his deciding when to perform (so as to remind the world, from time to time, the great player that he is), as in the matches you have quoted (although I would not deny that he was brilliant in patches in those matches) where was he in the other matches when ManU needed him to perform? And only 18 goals? Yes, I am a ManU supporter and yes I love Ronaldo’s talents but as the saying sadly goes “to him who has will more be given; to him who has not the little that he has will be taken away from him”. I leave you to work out the “has” and “has not” bits in the quote. I wish Ronaldo well. May he do well in Real Madrid.
