Time to hang up his boots. I can't see him playing for any other team.

no, you're right, think alves may replace him if signed.

I guess a contract doesn't mean anything...didn't he state right after the CL win that he was going to stay at Man U.

These things never end up well for the team that currently has the player.

Yep Woodgate,Owen, Beckham were quickly in and out. Robinho is being flogged. I believe Ruud is one of the few big names that has done well from the Premier League.

The crap that comes out of their president is unbelievable.

Just goes to proove what a dumb albeit talented scrote Ronaldo is. Over the last few years Madrid have become no more than a group of peforming seals with buckets of individual talent but no teamwork, hence the Champions League underperformance. The reason that Ruud has done well is that (relatively) he has no real talent to show boat other that poking the ball into the net, thus he has to work well with the others.

I've been a MU fan for almost 40 years and hope that Ronaldo doesn't go, but he needs a good kicking to be taught the values of loyalty an integrity.

Anyone else hope that he gets sent off for diving in the first match of the European Championship? Would soon put him in his place.

Every transfer window the Spanish toilet papers come out with stories linking a number of players with either Real Madrid or Barcalona, aided and abetted by those clubs and/or agents of the players being mentioned.

Along with the Webster clause now rearing it's ugly head, whereby a player can buy out his contract when it has 2yrs or less left on it, I'm begginning to feel a players contract is worthless unless it's a rolling 4 or 5 yr contract.

too bitter at not being there to bite.

as for all the ronaldo comments, can't help thinking that on one hand its all a load of toss, just like last year, on the other if he really wants to go get rid and bank the money. as much as i love him playing at utd, and as much as we owe the season primarily to him this year, if it is true he is unhappy after winning domestic and european trophies, playing for arguably the best manager in the world in the best league in the world, then more fool him.
