@JK47, Howdy? Not sure any of the United players that went 2 the Euros will be allowed to come. A statistic of concern for next season: In the last 4 seasons no UCL winner has progressed beyond the first knockout stage. Just musing. WAN UNITED |

Man U shld let him go. The cash we make off him ll be used to buy more valuable players. Hope Real Madrid scars him for life. He won't score close to 40 goals at Madrid. Van Nisterooy who scored an all time high of 44 only scored 16 +/- 2 at Madrid. Right? He should go. |

You all sound like an Asa song, DEPRESSING!! Hmmm!! "United's threat to let Ronaldo 'rot' in the stands can't happen as Fifa rules state players can rip up their contracts if they don't play a certain amount of games. (Various)" http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/gossip_and_transfers/7470532.stm Is that true Not to worry, Uncle Carlos to the rescue http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/manchester_united/article4203535.ece I guess he intends to double Divino's supply of Brazilian hoes THE SOAP OPERA CONTINUES!!

Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by Jackal(m): 5:45pm On Jun 24, 2008 |
@ Loyika, All Ferguson has to do is to play him in 6 RESERVE games. . . . .That can't be difficult to do, is it? FIFA rules say a player must feature in 10% of the total games played by the football club. All United's games at senior level is shy of 60, of which 10% . . . . . is ONLY SIX games. 3 FA cup games with Burnley, Coventry and Plymouth and 3 CARLING CUP games with Peterborough, Charlton and Arsenal. |
Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by nazzyon(m): 6:43am On Jun 25, 2008 |
If Ferguson wants to pull another trick from the book to keep that tricky ponny from going to Real Madrid it won't work anymore. Just learnt that Ronaldo has delayed his operation. So Ferguson won't be able to play him in any game. I think it is high time we let him go, build on our team and make him look stupid if we ever meet him in a match against Real Madrid, You know the drill in La Liga now. If you don't perform right in front of your fans, they won't mind stoning and abusing you to your face. David Beckham knows how it feels, which is why he felt Ronaldo needs to mature to cope in Madrid. He wants to have a taste of his dream. Let him go, if he shit himself in any match he will regret ever going to Spain. |
Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by Agli(m): 9:04am On Jun 25, 2008 |
Its not not my dream to see Ronaldo leave United,but since his soul his no longer with us, I guess Sir Alex should let him go.No player,no matter how big or influential is bigger than United.Cantona retired when we didn't want him to,we survive it,Becks went to real,OT remained Thearter of Dreams,so with or without Ronaldo,United will continue to rule because there is only one UNITED. |
Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by justkunmi(m): 9:08am On Jun 25, 2008 |
@nazzyon word!!!. . But even if Ronaldo ends up staying in United this season, it wont be the same anymore. .The fans would not be so welcoming anymore after the whole media fights. . . Fergie should just cash in + Robinho. . But one thing is sure though, United would be a world class team even if the worst player in Mushin 11 plays for it. . |
Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by superstar1(m): 9:34am On Jun 25, 2008 |
please can we beg fergie and glazers to offload Ronaldo. I am tired of all this media talks. there is hardly any programme you will listen to and they won't talk about this transfer drama. Ronaldo should just come to Nollywood and start acting, he likes the hype of the media on him. He could have put this to stop by simply saying I want to go or i do not want to go. he loves controversies. Lets sell him for 80m alongide Robinho. This will make Real madrid v. stupid because they would have finanaced our buyings indirectly. Is high time those we teach R. Madrid a lesson of their life. RVN left, we scored more goals, Becks left we still lifted the trophy, Quiroz was there, he knows better now, Heinze left and our left was more solid and attackingly dangerous than ever. Ronaldo should ask michael owens, be careful of what you wish for. wit or without the dude, we shall win our 11th EPL this season. |
Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by omowhyou(m): 11:21am On Jun 25, 2008 |
Fergie should allow Ronaldo to go we have survive bigger players before and we will still do better without him. It is better for him to go now than to become a burden on us next season. He said he wants to go, so let him go at least we are going to make money on him and with that we can buy other nice players. |
Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by tkb417(m): 4:14pm On Jun 25, 2008 |
in short ronaldo should go!!! but, we can secretly tell Barca or AC to bid for him and even sell him cheap to prove points. Madrid cannot get what they want everytime. if hes not ready to play for any other club apart from Real, then 120m cash will be fine |
Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by Jackal(m): 5:58pm On Jun 25, 2008 |
Comrades, Guys, Fellas, Lads, Mates, Geezers. . . . . Y'all peops should take it easy. . . . . Ronaldo is on a week's vacation just like Sir Alex Ferguson. He is not delaying his foot operation . . . . The operation is not even serious(He can't be out for more than 4 weeks). This has nuthing to do with Real Madrid and Calderon already said they won't pay 80 million for the whizkid. I still feel Ronnie will remain at OT this season. |
Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by yemmight(m): 6:03pm On Jun 25, 2008 |
Great record for Fergie A number of Reds who played under Sir Alex at United now hold management positions in the UK. Premier League Steve Bruce (Wigan) Mark Hughes (Man City) Paul Ince (Blackburn) Roy Keane (Sunderland) League One Darren Ferguson (Peterborough) League Two Mark Robins (Rotherham) Scottish Premier Gordon Strachan (Celtic) Proudly United |
Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by ndumart: 6:22pm On Jun 25, 2008 |
should Ronaldo go some things are obvious. He won't be as successful as he is in Man U cos he will share the freekicks with Schneider and the Penalties will be taken by RVN. that amounts to lesser goals for him. Its high time he left and lets know those who are remaining. United for ever |
Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by nazzyon(m): 9:52pm On Jun 25, 2008 |
Jackal: For Real Madrid to have said, they cannot buy Ronaldo @ 80 million. I am beginning to think it is becoming a conspiracy. And if Ronaldo should continue to play Manchester United like he has been doing for months now, I am begining to think the price will continue to drop. |

Gents, Ladies and Pimps I just want to know you thoughts on this. (Not Specifying) New season is getting closer, right? We have always been discussing about (ins) in transfer. Who would you want to see go from Old Trafford? |
Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by omowhyou(m): 8:56am On Jun 26, 2008 |
from what the press is saying now Ronaldo may stay |
Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by shilling(f): 11:22am On Jun 26, 2008 |
Ronaldo should leave. Even if he doesn't leave. It won't be the same cos we know he doesn't want to be at Old Trafford. |

Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by Jackal(m): 4:51pm On Jun 26, 2008 |
Ronaldo should stay at Man Utd. Real Madrid for all their noise-making don't have the transfer fees. . . . . The last time they bought a high-profile player. . . . . .They ran into enormous debts(Bank Of Madrid had to come to their aid). They should stop making animal noises. . . . Let em PAY UP or SHUT UP. U want Ronaldo?? Come n get him for 70 million quid. Buncha wimps! |
Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by omowhyou(m): 3:09pm On Jun 27, 2008 |
Ronaldo has made a u turn, i think some people has advise to stay with the best club in the world and one more thing though, he has to prove himself next season. |

My UTD peeps. . . . . how una d'ey! this C.Ron issue sef d'on tire me oh. . . . . if the guy wants to leave let him come out publicly and put forth an official request to the club! for me i'd gleefully sell him off and ask 4 Robinho as part of the deal. . . . . in fact, i'd have sold him 4 1/4 madrid's current asking price immediately after that UCL semi-final match in Milan 2 seasons ago! i pray SAF doesn't insist that he stays! |
Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by Hugoboi(m): 3:47pm On Jun 28, 2008 |

http://www.goal.com/en/articolo.aspx?contenutoid=754360 [center] [size=18pt] United Better Off Without Ronaldo?[/size][/center] Are United better off with out Ronaldo? [size=14pt]A summer of drama in the Cristiano Ronaldo affair may have left many football fans in trembling transfer limbo. The ‘will he won’t he’ scenarios will have been especially agonising for those in Manchester who wanted to see their favourite star stay at Old Trafford. £70 million for Ronaldo seems to be enough for United and as the two European heavyweights slug out the small details for the Portuguese prize fighter we take a look at what Madrid should expect and whether Ronaldo will be missed by those at United. Do Madrid know what they are buying? Bernd Shuster said recently that the acquisition of Ronaldo would help his side push for a Champions League trophy next season. He obviously didn’t watch either of the two semi final games against Barcelona. Ronaldo was a non factor, with his only memorable moment being a missed penalty in Camp Nou. Ronaldo is not a big game player in the way Lionel Messi is and, apart from his towering header in a good first half performance against Chelsea in the Champions League final, he has been posted in missing in the other important match ups. If Schuster was serious about tapping Manchester United for their magic of last season European triumph surely Patrice Evra, Nemanja Vidic or even Rio Ferdinand would be on the top of his list. But Europe might not be the only problem for Ronaldo. King Henry’s curse United were in danger of becoming a one man team. Not in the sense that Ronaldo was the one man that could win the game, United have far too much talent for that. It was in their style of play. United’s key is their balance but at the end of the season Ronaldo was being passed too more often than necessary and therefore unsettled the rhythm of those around him. In the same way Thierry Henry stunted the play of Arsenal in his last few years in London the United side were at risk of becoming predictable in their over use of fleet footed winger. Next season United may actually benefit from Ronaldo’s sale as his presence was beginning to plug the flow of football throughout the side. Moving to Spain Again like Henry it seems Ronaldo has not considered his transition to the Spanish League. Possibly dazzled by the bright lights and the big names in Madrid he may have not have realized the impact that the pace of the English league has had on his success. He is after all moving to a league that is practiced in the art of defending speedy wingers. If Henry’s example at Barcelona is anything to go by Ronaldo might struggle in a division where defenders back off and an emphasis is placed more on the tempo of his passing game and his ability to think off the ball. Still, he is sure to be given a license to roam at Madrid and any responsibility of defensive duties will be waived by German coach Schuster allowing the winger to focus on the attacking game he excels in. With out a doubt Ronaldo will have to alter his game the only question is, will he be so good once he does adapt? Not a Real leader Ronaldo, for all his wizardry and goals, often under performs when his team is backed up against a wall. If things aren’t going his way it shows immediately as he either spreads his arms in disbelief or shakes his head in disgust. Ronaldo has never been a player that can take the game by the scruff of the neck and haul his side back into contention. Traditionally, United players have been ‘geniuses soaked in sweat’. Undoubtedly the genius is there in abundance but the sweat is missing as he sulkily walks back to position every time he loses possession - a point that could start to rub team mates the wrong way. In this regard, he is not a traditional United player and it seems, in many respects, that Ferguson has made a rare exception for Ronaldo’s super talent. Furthermore, for both United and Portugal he has been handed the captain’s armband but the question arises , how can he worry about the rest of the team as the captain when he is so worried about himself? Still, in his defence, based on goals, Ronaldo was leading everyone in the league by example all last season. Finding 42 goals in one summer Statisticians everywhere will be pointing to the fact that United would have struggled last season were in not for a total of 42 goals in all competitions for Ronaldo. However, you would expect that some of the £70 million generated from the sale would be put towards buying big name stars to bring goals to Old Trafford. Still, let’s not forget that United have always scored goals and with Ronaldo gone the stage could be set for the promising partnership of Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney to fully blossom. Undoubtedly, no single player will replace Ronaldo’s goals by themselves, but as a collective unit, finding the back of the net has never been a problem for Ferguson’s men. In terms of play Nani will be expected to weigh in with goals and assists and it could be the youngster that will ultimately fill Ronaldo’s boots at the club. The perfect replacement It seems that Ferguson was preparing his contingency plan for Ronaldo’s departure already a year ago. He wouldn’t have expected to lose his main star so soon, but Ferguson is never caught off guard. Although Nani came in as an understudy to his countryman, he did enough last season to show that he is capable of emulating the feats of Ronaldo at Old Trafford. Indeed, Nani in many ways is more of a complete player than Ronaldo in that his goal-to-assist ratio is far more balanced than his Madrid-bound friend. Nani may not have the swagger of Ronaldo, but his certainly has the ability and this new season could be a coming out party for the former Sporting Lisbon star. Will Ronaldo be missed? Fans will definitely miss the chest pouting free kicks, scintillating shots and Ronaldo’s Tour de France peddle feet in the exact same way that the United accounts will miss the sales figures in Ronaldo’s merchandise column. Goals will come and new players will entertain at United. After the dust has settled, Ronaldo will be remembered fondly at Old Trafford, despite the lack of courtesy surrounding his exit. For both fans and many team mates Ronaldo’s departure will leave a gap in their lives, but his absence will not make the slightest bit of difference to Ferguson’s United side’s performances as they grind slowly onwards into another title defending season.[/size] |

Enough with this Ronaldo talk, as of today he is still a manu player. It is important that we know he is just one player in a team of greats, if he has to leave fine. Manu made ronaldo, not the other way round. I would love to read posts on new signings and speculations, to know how solid we are to retain our titles and even win more. Manchester United Rules, let them know. |
