Ronaldo – Love Him? Hate Him?

Oh man, the scarf!

Great player but hate him.

He treated our great club as though it was inferior to Franco’s Fascists. The devious Real Madrid scum aren’t fit to clean United’s boots.

Hate Ronaldo.

Love Scholes, Soskjaer, Keane, Cantona, Best, Edwards, Charlton, Law, Giggs, Gregg, Whiteside, Robson, McGrath, Foulkes, Styles, Crerand, Macari, Irwin, Bruce, Pallister, Meredith, Coppell, Hughes, Schmeichel…..

True Legends

is there a “love the player
hate the way he treated united from fans to sir alex last summer” banner i can stand in front of

I love to hate him.

He’s a unloyal dick head, but a very good footballer.

give him a chance…we all used to hate Rio remember

Hate him
He doesn’t want to play for ManUtd
He is a great footballer, but he is NOT MANUTD RED

lolll anyone who hates him shud jus stop watchin football coz the blokes brilliant!

Will love him if he proves his loyalty. Real are shit now, so he doesn’t want to join them, so only time will show.

I’ve got to love him. He might not say all the right things at all the right times, but he’s been nothing short of spectacular on the pitch and I can’t see any other reason to judge him.

He’s done nothing more than Tevez has recently. He never put down the club or fans and his only real fault this summer was not saying anything. Tevez has come out, in a fit of rage I can only assume, and said he would sign for pretty much anyone so long as his future is clear (I obviously cant be bothered by researching EXACTLY what he said). Everyone knows that Latin players ‘dream’ of playing for Los Blancos, why should Ronaldo be different?

I agree with Anon, as long as he wears our red, I love him. I’m personally more worried about Tevez jumping ship, what with Hienze in his ear telling him United are going to screw him over. Rooney’s out for at least 3 weeks, and I really, really hope Tevez shines with Berba so that we have no choice but to pay whatever he wants.

Man United – your love make us strong and your hate makes us unstoppable!

that is the way it supposed to be.

Citeh getting kaka for 100m pounds. Now we’ll be able to see how good Ronaldo is. Will he chicken out and go to real or play with the big boys.

“Football fans are notoriously fickle.

He treated the club, his team-mates, the manager and the fans like shit…”

Do you think ‘the club, his team-mates and the manager’ are ‘fickle’ as well? Because they don’t seem to have a problem with Ron.

I’m sure none of us know the true story of what had really happened in the summer, or what’s going on at the moment. Any sort of conclusion based on what the press has told us could be wrong. But if I have to be wrong, I’d prefer my choice to be on the side of love, rather than hate – so instead of trusting the media I’ll rather keep trusting and supporting our club, our manager and our best player for the good of United.

Viva Ronaldo! Viva United!

“He treated the club, his team-mates, the manager and the fans like shit but as soon as he starts to play well again all the ‘Viva Ronaldo’ shit starts up again.”

Absolutely.

@ ot070506: You mention ‘the club, his team-mates and the manager’

The club and the manager are basically one and the same thing, I think it’s fair to say and they both realise that we have the best player in the world on our books and that to sell him while we are in the strongest position we’ve ever been in would be a huge step backward. Of course they’re going to do their level-best to keep him onside.

I’ve not heard/read anything from his team-mates that would suggest support, either tacitly or explicitly. We’ve had ex-Reds and current United staff (notably Eric and Ole) telling him to keep his counsel and stay with us, though. Also, let’s be fair, the players closest to him (e.g. Rooney, Nani, Anderson) are living in the same professional footballer bubble he lives in and hold no allegiance to United either.

Are you really able to rely on them to be the impartial, objective commentators on this situation that you think they are?

On the love/hate thing; I’m pretty much indifferent to him, to be honest. It might sound daft, but we invested a lot of ‘love’ for him over the previous 2 seasons and while we thought it was a 2-way street, it became patently clear over the Summer that it was just us nourishing his massive ego. It says a lot that recently, when we were chanting White Pele as the pair were warming up at Derby, his head noticeably went down. As soon as he heard Viva Ronaldo from a small section of the support, he perked up, smiled and clapped us.

His recent comments are all well and good, but the Summer will be the true test. If Real finish the season well enough, bid and *still* get rejected by Ronaldo – explicitly – I’ll be more than willing to think about singing his name again. Until then, he’s just another extremely talented player in our stunning array of attacking talent.

I like ant player that wears our shirt and TRYS….. but cannot get used to CR7 sitting on his ares compaining all he fucking time…… still think he’s off to Spain in the summer…..

last may i loved him during the summer i was like fuck the papers he’ll stay i know he will, then it was y dnt he come out and say he’ll, then it was let the cunt go no 1 is bigger than united but he stayed as SAF said he wud. CR says he’s staying now cause he knws which side his bread is buttered so i say i might take time but lets love him again because last year wudnt have happened without his part he played and while he’s here its going to happen again
