Ronaldo In Real Tug of War
Could Ronaldo walk away from Sir Alex in Favor of Ramon calderon?
Real Madrid director of football, Pedro Trapote has been quoted as saying that a summer deal bringing Cristiano Ronaldo to the Bernabeau had been finalized. This brought a quick response of defiance from United Boss Sir Alex Ferguson who said he “wouldn’t sell a virus” to “that mob.”
After a summer of uncertainty in which Ronaldo was continually linked with a move away from the Premiership and Champions league winners, this latest claim from Spain appears to have been the last straw for the United boss. When asked about the claims during a training session in Japan, where United are competing in the World Club Cup, Sir Alex remained typically defiant. Ferguson said “Would I get into a contract with that mob? Absolutely no chance” ”I wouldn’t sell them a virus - that’s a no. There’s no agreement whatsoever between the clubs.” Ferguson reafirmed his desire to keep Ronaldo, despite the constant barrage of attention radiating from across the English Channel. It would seem that Real’s actions may be intended to unsettle the player but all they have succeeded in doing is make an enemy out of one of the most influential and stubborn men in European Football.
So for now at least the saga continues, with the white of Real pulling south and the red of United standing firm in the North, only time will tell which one of these sporting superpowers will win out.
At the end of the day, United will only sell if it is right for them to do so! So, we will be the winners either way. We have the World’s most marketable player again (after Becks) and one of the world’s best.
Ronaldo must be mad if he can’t see that he is at the most glamorous club in the Universe - see what happened in Japan.
What kind of fokking image is that. Pretty Boy is a kunt! Madrid can have him, at least he can bang Robben, another Puff!
He’s going nowhere. All this propoganda from the Spanish is to unsettle the boy. I think he is a lot smarter than people give him credit for, and he knows that United is the only club that will always do what is best for the individual player.
Being English, European amd world champions helps with the allure a tad as well.
