I think it’s all coming out now. Ronaldo’s agent is staying quiet because he’s trying to broker the deal between two parties who aren’t willing to talk. We need to move on and focus on how the team is going to win without his penetration and goals. A 25-goal striker is a must now.

let him leave i bet in three years time the new king at OT will be NANI and Ronaldo will probably be back at Sporting Lisbon after a disappointing time in Madrid,
This briliant talent is going to spoilt by bad advise from mother, girlfriend, godfathers, Ronaldo should behave like his agent who has stayed silent all this time coz he knows Ronaldo is making a mistake

That’s how Marca do it. They might not need that certain player, but hell, if he is considering the best player in the world at that moment, they will do whatever it takes to get him. For instance, remember Becks? Classic example, they only bought him for advertising. I don’t see why Ronaldo should leave M.U, he got everything there: fame, money, a great coach.. Meh, fcuk it, he’ll probably just leave and end up just like Becks.

Idiot or scouser? Hard to tell, possibly both.

wow this is a horrible article. He is under contract to United, a contract he signed 1 year ago until 2011. Already he is lobbying for a pay raise and wants to move elsewhere as a threat for if they do not raise his pay. Saying he has loyalty to the club is rubbish. As a United fan I am losing faith in Cristiano with everything he says. I’ve loved him for the past 5 years and we as a club have done so much for him, now he talks about leaving us for a rival? Rubbish.

Simon Barlow? Did you find that name on the internet? I find it hard to believe English is your first language.

“But has Sir Alex now undermined that relationship by overtly threatening to deal Ronaldo the footballing equivalent of a fate worse than death â€“ training and playing with Brian McClairâ€™s reserves!”

Ferguson has never threatened that, he merely stated that the Glazers are so keen to keep Ronaldo at the club and said that they would prefer to see him sitting in the stand rather than paying for Madrid.
I turn of phrase so to speak…and not a threat to Ronaldo.

This why you are a blogger on betfair rather than in a decent journalism role elsewhere, Simon. Pathetic article!!!
