Let's put this transfers aside and start a new topic . I would like to discuss about Ronaldo .
Suppose if Ronaldo at the age of 33-34 finally decides to come back to Manchester United which i think will and play for us for his final years, what will you prefer .
I personally don't want Ronaldo at Man Utd anywhere in future(Would take him now though) . The reason is that if he can't give his peak years to us then i don't think i will accept a declining ronaldo . I respect him as a player who has got abundance of talent and respect all his contribution to us in the years before . But for me he is a greedy arrogant person who used us to get himself a better contract . It did not happen once but twice . Whenever his contract was running out he would come out and speak about his sadness and how much he loved Man Utd . Man Utd name was included in every thing he say including he would love to come back home . Then suddenly he signs new contract and then Man Utd are just past and he loves Real Madrid . I know people will bring Rooney here but he never expressed himself infront of media but to the manager . The first time when we were not replacing quality but buying average players, people used to think United are in decline . Rooney asking for transfer was for IMO for same reason and i hated him for that . Second time he was benched in important games and so asked about transfer . But he was not involved in media and noway was using other clubs to get bump in his paycheck . I remember Chelsea were interested and Mourinho came out saying Rooney needs to come out and say he wants to join chelsea .But Rooney never did that .
So back to Ronaldo, he is far more superior footballer than Rooney but i hate him for using our club to get more money . At least Rooney stayed and contributed.
I don't believe anymore in what Ronaldo says . Sometimes when he scores hatrick, at the end of the match when asked by reporter expresses himself as " I am happy about my goal but our result and our team winning is bigger and i would rather want that " and when suddenly he stops scoring in 2 or 3 matches he gets frustated and does not even like his team mates scoring ahead of him .
So personally as much as i want a player of his quality in my team, i would avoid him when he wants us to be a club where he can retire with peace as RM are no such club to do so

I feel Ronaldo has burnt his bridges with us and used us. Also he's not going to be the phenomenon he is for long so he needed to return to us this season at the latest

He'll be in China in 3 year's is my guess. We should steer well clear of him.

Madrid would only let him go if he run his contract down and had no choice or if he was only scoring 10 goals a season, walking around the pitch and not influencing games like he used to, he will never come back to United and will probably finish his career in Portugal.

MLS is my guess. he will never go to china as he does not need the money.

this obsession with ronaldo needs to stop, he's gone, he's had his time with united all the talk every summer is boring. let the guy go lol.
i think he will either retire at madrid, go back to portugal or go america

Perhaps he will go to US . MLS often give massive wages to old players

I think this is either Ronaldo's or Benitez' last season at Madrid - more than likely Benitez. They really won't get on.

I don't think he will come back to us, I am not sure I want him back (more for the fact he is not the greatest Team player than what he did when he left,.I am sorry to say but for most continental players there dreams are for Barca/RM no matter how much he loved the club. We don't have to agree but we should understand)
However, I think.he could play to 40 and still standout, his body condition and desire is that good.

Make of it what you will but Ronaldo sold his image rights to Singapore businessman Peter Lim and quote was "This is a very strategic move for me and my management team to take the Cristiano Ronaldo brand to the next level especially in Asia
