Ronaldo: This Is My Home Now

The usual rumours linking Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid came out this week, following us winning the title the weekend before. Gabriel YSB Heinze came out claiming that despite his best efforts, Ronaldo was likely to stay at the club for as long as Sir Alex Ferguson was there.

Ronaldo leaves himself open to these transfer rumours though, perhaps being too honest about where he sees his future. Understandably, he wants to play in Spain one day, which is a well known fact. The press play on this and ask him about Real Madrid on every possible occasion. Real Madrid’s desire to sign him only adds to the speculation.

However, Ronaldo has spoken out once more today, stating his intentions of staying with the club.

“The boss is the reason I am here in the club,” he said. “He helped me a lot, not just this season but the seasons before. I feel very good at the club. I want to carry on like that. I have many friends here in the club. I have been at the club five years and I know everyone now – the staff, the players – and I feel like this is my home.”

How much longer will Ronaldo stay at the club for?

    “The boss is the reason I am here in the club” – he’ll most likely be off when Fergie retires, especially if Queiroz doesn’t get the job

    The day SAF retires, Ronaldo will go. It’s a fact that united fans have to reconcile with. He won’t be here forever like Rooney, and I don’t think many fans can begrudge him the right to leave after serving the club for more then 5 years. He’ll be a legend by then and if United play their card right we should recoup a world record fee for him (somewhere in the region of $100 – $150 million should leave everyone happy…except Madrids bank account).

    I think SAF has targeted winning this years double and then perhaps another one next year. He has already stated that he wants to own the scum record and once that’s done I believe he will call it a day. I hope we sign Ronaldo to an extension so he doesn’t leave on the cheap by buying out his contract.

    in any case, this is good news for those who were worried he would leave this summer, but it doesn’t tell us anything new. Fact is – Ronaldo will leave one day and most likely it’ll be when SAF retires, or the board fail to pay Ronaldo a wage befitting the worlds greatest players.

    As he himself said, “you never know”.

    That just about sums up the mercenary world that professional athletes live in nowadays.

    If he stays with UTD as long as SAF then he will be a fixture at OT for a long, long time.

    If Ronaldo goes, go get Bentley.

    Him on the wing with a choice of 4 (by then) decent forwards and a top quality attacking right back (Alves?) will be a quality side, Nani on the left in front of Evra and that is one hell of a lot of assists, Ronaldo is great and I want him to NEVER leave, but I am not scared of losing him.
