Re: Cristiano Ronaldo......
Made that point in the match thread, he just looks uninspired, almost going through the motions, maybe it is just tonight, but the Ronaldo from 06-08 was a force of nature. Even last season when he struggled a bit at the start because of injury he came strong when it really mattered.
I have thought for a while that his threat on the dribble has declined, especially when you compare him to the player he was in 06/07, seems to have lost some flexibility. He has bulked up and while he is still fast and strong he is not as nimble. It makes me wonder if he will continue to transition into a out and out striker as he ages. he is not a natural dribbler like a Messi or Giggs. As a personal adjustment going to Madrid was a bid deal. Spent 6 years at Utd, key years in his development as both a player and a man, built relationships and routines that were probably more valuable to him than he realised. |

The standard of the league has dropped considerably recently. A couple of years ago, the 'poorer' sides used to dish out some hammerings themselves. |

Re: Cristiano Ronaldo......
Hopefully Ronnie and Real win £#%&! all for a couple of years. Let the Real fans turn on him and we rock up with a £30M offer. They decide to cash in and rebuild the team.
Then when you factor in the Glazers, it becomes Ronnie gets shipped out for a £60M bid from City which Chelsea match and we're priced out of resigning one of our former players. Anyway, bottom line, he should come back but won't. |

I was watching last week and Santander were leaving their shit right back one on one with Ronaldo every time, it was like taking candy off a baby for him and it happens every week. Over here he would have minimum 2 on him every time he got it. They just seem a little naive tactically. Plus, as soon as a decent defender appears in that league, Madrid and Barca snap them up anyway. |

Based purely on the little he actually said about why he went there, it was based on what he thinks/thought Madrid stand for in world football, probably (given his age) mostly the glamour of the first Galacticos era. Then also for non-football reasons, like taxes and weather. If he paid any attention to things like how often they change the manager and President, he'd have known that there is no way they can have the kind of stability and singularity of vision that United has. Ultimately, the players at Madrid pay a price for this. As a footballer, there's not much chance he'll ever find himself in a better situation than he was in at United, and I don't say that as a deluded United fan. I know the club have problems. But for the playing staff, everything is there for them to be able to develop and perform. |

united lost in rome because (a) barca were, as they have shown, a £#%&!ing brilliant side and (b) some of the players let themselves down. not because of '£#%&!wit ideas', least of all from fergie. |

Re: Cristiano Ronaldo......
Dunno its a hard one,just wanted him to £#%&! off when he decided to leave.
Cant be arsed watching him for real either. And all the bullshit about him staying or going just might stop him returning but IF it is going to happen as when Hughesy went to Barcelona it would have to happen within a 2 year period maybe 3 anymore and its not happening. In a ideal world i would hope that we have blooded a few new players by then. |

i think he has an over-inflated sense of his own worth and lacks any humility. in short he is a smacked arse and will be wherever he goes. that story about him acting like a #@&%! at the press conference before the munich derby illustrates his character. £#%&!ing great footballer though. |

Re: Cristiano Ronaldo......
We'd have probably pissed this title with him in the side but when the player is that adamant he wants away what can you do?
He didnt go there for football reasons, even your nan could tell you that, hes gone there to be considered a 'superstar', one of the greats if you will, its all a tad hollywood imo. I found it baffling he wanted out after the 2008 double, that side was without doubt the worlds best at the time, and he seemed to get on well with his team mates. It was never going to go away, this Madrid thing. I dont think he'll ever be back either. Even in 2 years hed still be worth far more than we could ever afford (unless our off field circumstances change drastically). £#%&! him he's made his bed, ironically I like him more now hes away than I did in his last season, he really £#%&!ed me off that summer. Think its the fact hes not playing us for fools now. Also pissed me off how some of our fans gave him special dispentation because he was outstanding. @#%&!ing the club off is @#%&!ing the club off whether you're Cantona or Liam Miller. |

united still started off with serious intent though and it looked to be only a matter of time before we scored. as we have seen from United this season, in Milan and against Bayern, you never know how a game will pan out no matter how well you start. |
