The get rid of Ronaldo thread

Triton

One good performance doesn't mean he's back.

But there's still hope...........

Anyone who thinks United should just give up on Ronaldo is off their rocker imo. Sure the guy is maddingly inconsistent, but the potential is there to be one of the best in the world. Ronnie leads to learn and build on his ability, but i would be happier to see him attemp to do so at United then anywhere else. If he comes good, he could well be near unstoppable - and that is worth the gamble.

i think he needs to be rested more frequently than what he usually to make him fresh. Too much is expected of him and then when he doesnt preform, he gets stick from fans and critics etc.

Here is an interview from the MEN

"I didn't have a bet with the manager this year and I haven't even paid him the money yet from last season He hasn't asked me for it and I hope he has forgotten. However, I have the money put aside ready if he asks. But don't tell him! He's right I should be. I agree with the manager and I am definitely capable of it. I have been working hard to get more goals into my game. I was looking forward to it happening and now it finally has. It didn't seem to happen for me before but now I am in my stride I want to keep it going. My goal is always to work and help the team first and foremost but I can do that by scoring as well. It is a unique feeling and I want more of it. My game has matured. I admit I did over-indulge on the tricks at times. I know the fans think I do it too much but I want them to know I am working on it. In the past I have got over-excited and got carried away. I sometimes did it at the wrong times. I know the crowd love it at the right times and I have tried to concentrate on that. If we are drawing or are in trouble then that is no time for me to be doing some fancy footwork. I hope people saw at Liverpool last Saturday that I kept it to a minimum because it wasn't the right moment, or the right thing to do. It is all part of the learning process I am going through with Manchester United

"Obviously it has been really, really hard to take since my father died. Psychologically it was very tough. If you are not feeling well mentally because of something as awful as that, you will take that on to the pitch whether you like it or not and whether you are strong or not. It will affect you no matter what. I loved him the most in the world and it was a very difficult time for me. I had some poor matches because, psychologically, I wasn't right for matches. But life goes on and I am looking to the future. These things happen to everybody. Nobody has a heart of iron. That's life. To cope with it is one of the experiences in life that make you stronger. Of course, it will be in my mind initially on Sunday. When you are at finals it is always nice to look around the stadium and see people you know and know people who mean a lot to you are there. But this time he won't be there and I know that will be tough to take. It will be difficult. But he will be with me in my heart. I will think about him and I know he will be looking down on me and I would like to win it for him. I will be focused and I am really excited about it. A final is always a final and I hope United can win this so we have got something to show for the season. Obviously I am sad that this is all we have left. We could have gone further in any of the other competitions but we didn't and these things happen. Everybody has ups and downs. Now we have to make sure we get something at least."

The kids not played well by his own standards, but he's had some damaging personal problems, supposed rape and fathers death, i'd imagine anyone would be a little off

He's not a bad player to be fair, I reckon you could get 25 million for him :P

Keeping Ronaldo out of the La Liga threads is a good enough reason:cool:

LOL at someone above saying get rid of Ronaldo for Morton Gamst Pedersen

Perhaps a move away from Old Trafford is what Ronaldo needs to kick-start his career again. Can't see United getting 20 million for him though.

:pac:

Jesus, that statement from the OP came back to bite him on the arse.

No chance.

Real should get rid of him and get Jaoquin in.

Morten Gamst Pederson is still better than him aswell!:p

In fairness aftertiming is a horrible thing!

Love this thread, shows wonderfully how so much of the posting here is just conjecture, speculation and pure opinion which can be so proved wrong.
It's one of the reasons I find it hilarious to see posters get into arguments when a poster dismisses anothers opinion and especially when they attempt to say it is wrong...........

Although in fairness, it is a bit of bad form to dig up a 5 year old thread

How many of the posters from page 1 are still with us?

The funniest thing in the thread I thought was the sig asking for support for the Santa Strike Force... 2008
