Ronaldo makes United pledge
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...20090114080836
Cristiano Ronaldo has again moved to distance himself from reports linking him with a move to Real Madrid. The Manchester United winger became embroiled in a long-running transfer saga involving the Spanish giants last summer, before eventually committing his future to the Red Devils. Those at Old Trafford had hoped his public show of affection for the club would help to bring an end to the incessant rumours. However, the issue has resurfaced following the opening of the January transfer window, with Real once again touted as a possible destination for Ronaldo this summer. The Portuguese superstar insists he is happy at United, though, and has reiterated his intention to remain at the club for the foreseeable future. "I intend to win as many trophies as I can with this club for as long as possible," he said. "We are a young team and the future is good. Fantastic "I want to be here and be part of the success that lies ahead. It is great to be part of such a fantastic club. "I intend to be here for years and years." Ronaldo is certainly not letting his focus be distracted by the Real rumours, and is targeting a clean sweep of silverware this term. United have already claimed the Club World Cup this season, but remain in the running for Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup and Carling Cup glory. "We are going to try and win the lot, and why not? In my head I know it is possible," added Ronaldo. "The priority is to retain the Premier League and Champions League and we have the players, the spirit and desire to do more. "We want to make history by winning all five trophies." Oh ye of little faith. Viva Ronaldo |

I watched him say "I dream of playing in spain one day, but dreams sometimes don't come true"
The rumours just came around again because real wanted a bit of reflected glory due to them being shit at the moment. If I was him I'd think twice about moving to that soap opera. 100 million euros apparently. |

He ain't stupid. It may be a dream for him, but right now that's all it seems to be. Real Madrid the fantasy is pretty far removed from Real Madrid the reality at the moment. Circumstances change very quickly. In the summer he was at the peak of his form and United had achieved all there was to achieve (and, importantly, he was away from the club with Portugal). Now, the prospective buyers are in pieces, he's had talks with his manager, he's back playing football for United and his form has dipped: Given the perfectionist that he is, I suspect he wouldn't let himself leave unless his form was good. Each year provides a new challenge and I think he realises that. The penny has (somewhat) dropped for him. I'm really pleased to find him immediately knocking back rumours. Keep it up. |

It's the conduct that riles people. If he can change that (and this is a good start) then there's not much of a problem. |

It's progress. He's gone from refusing to discuss his future or blaming God, to actually pouring cold water on rumours: Something he's never done before. There are bigger tests of his loyalty, sure, but this is at least worthy of comment and hardly irrelevant. |
