I think Tony needs to take Ronaldo’s cock out of his mouth.

Ronaldo is not a loyal player… even if he wants to stay he will not get anywhere near the support he recieved the previous two seasons.

well, in my opinion, Ronaldo will stay with us next season. he should and he must. as you see, manchester united are the ones who ‘made’ him into the world player of the year. and ronaldo should be thankful of that. he shouldnt just go to real madrid just like that. its as if he’s not appreaciating what manchester united had done to him.

in fact, going to real madrid woudnt change a thing. all u get is money and fame. that is not what football is about.

lastly, i think ronaldo should think of what ive said earlier. and i agree with what UnitedOnFire has said. i think ronaldo is not going to be a united legend if his attitude is like this.

So, I guess we should expect that the discussions for a new, improved contract must be at an advanced stage.

To my mind, the key issue will be the length of the contract and the “exit fee” because there can be no question that it will contain “escalator clauses” which will keep his salary rising as his performance improves. What is not subject to question will be the size of his weekly remuneration – the mind just boggles at an income of, say, 200,000 quid a week but this is entertainment and the kid puts bums-in-the-seats and also sells merchandise all over the world. SO,the issue of “image rights” will be the pot-sweetener and I can just hear the gasps when that is added on top of the massive weekly wage.

One more thing, he was NEVER going to make the huge/gigantic/enormous wage from Madrid because it is an “article of faith” at the Bernabeau that NO ONE gets more money than RAUL – and Raul is next to God, and above the King of Spain in the eyes of the Real Madrid executive. And Ronaldo was never going to get the same income from “image rights” at Madrid, either.

Like they used to say in the detective stories, “follow the money”.

Tony you’re a fantasist! You’ve said a lot in a manner that suggests you know more than ayone else here? Or maybe you’re just the type that believes all he reads? Its well known he was a childhood Benfica fan so why would he dream of Real? Surely he would have supported them if he where so enamoured of them? If you’re going to proclaim sage like you should enlighten us a little on how you are such an authority? Or maybe your just full of it?

why all the speculations about Ronaldo he will definatly not make the same mistake as David Becham! I dont know why Real Madrid always chase after our players they should keep there clubs name ‘Real’ and there team. Even with star playeres they cant evens win!!!!!!!!!!!! from United Fan Down In South Africa

I think he wants to stay and knows it’s the right move but feels flattered by Real Madrid and doesn’t want to turn them down.

No patrik, his dream was to prove that he could be a LEGEND for Real Madrid..like the rest of the best players in the world along with Figo, Zizu, Ronaldo…hes never said Barca..its always Real Madrid because most of the best players on this earth played for that club and he wanted to be in that list aswell.

Patrik: i understand that of course, but you have to take a step into his shoes, the logical thing would be to stay at United because they have helped him, but its not a club he has loved from a young age, Real Madrid has been written in his heart from a young age and he would never turn that oppertunity. His heart has been set at that club before he joined United. He has even stated that before he joined the club that i love real madrid. Said it at sporting as well and says it every summer that he loves Real Madrid. Everyone has dreams, even he said that his dream might not come true. How many people sit in a office room and reflect that they could have been in a better job if i just took that oppertunity?

Tony: His dream was to prove he was good enough for Real Madrid, now it’s obvious he is, isn’t that good enough? If they beg him to come and he says “no, YOU are not good enough for ME, I’m staying with the best club in europe, wouldn’t that be even sweeter for him?
