Hi eds - Coming from a source at Carrington " Go and have a bet on Ronaldo returning" This same guy told me about DDG replacing Edwin VDS a good three weeks before anyone even heard of him. He is certain it will be THE marquee signing that Chevrolet expected/funded as part of their mega deal to globalize the brand. Also, Gill`s replacement wants to make sure of a spectacular first year in his position. He told me that a deal is done and that it involves £68m plus Hernandez to RM. It is also why Rooney wishes he kept his mouth shut about wanting away. Ok - RM say "he is finishing his career with us" but didn't SAF say "i wouldn't sell that mob a virus" before CR7 was in fact sold to "that mob" - He is CONVINCED it is happening and is a fait accompli.

Still not convinced that a deal is likely to happen - but the persistent rumours are certainly making me wonder.

I still think that the ONLY way Ronaldo will be allowed to leave is if Real are able to sign Bale. Once this happens I will start to believe it's possible.

Honestly, people that are going on about this transfer haven't put much thought into it.
Can you honestly see real madrid easily accepting the loss of face/reputation to manchester united? I really don't see it. If they sell, it would only be to someone like psg or man city, who they would consider to have an "inferior" history.

This means there's really only 1 possible chance of us signing him. Ironically, it would have shades of last years van persie deal.
- The player would have to declare he is only interested in a move to manchester united. However, even if Ronaldo does that, - Real madrid are not arsenal. They might have him playing reserve team football before allowing a player to bully them into submission. there's also the fact that Ronnie has 2 years on his contract. Van persie of course had 1.

Ultimately unless there's something we don't know about that ronaldo can use to pressure the madrid board, this is all pointless talk.

It would be lovely if a nice fairy tale story like this came true, but it would be better still to be able to read about transfers that can be realistically completed, and help our team build the next era of success.

Can't see this happening. How often does MU sign big names? They are making names, not buying them.

Real madrid pay 80 mp for ronaldo. so they look at get back some of that huge money. they can get +65 mp this season, then if ronaldo go to his last year clearly real madrid could not get mor than 35 mp.

i think real madrid first of all do their best to renew cr7 contract this summer, it would be their first goal. but if they failed to renew his contract, then they sell him and don't allow him to go to next season. they want more money to buy players like bale and cavani.

if ronaldo is gonig to come back, now is the time. Now or Never.

I don't believe this, Ronaldo has now said he fully expects to sign another contract at Madrid.

Why r people so going on about Ronaldo he is staying at r/Madrid guys get over it

7.) 09 Jun 2013
The only way this happens is if Ronaldo forces it. If he goes to the Madrid board and says he wants to return to united he can hope they'll agree to his wishes as we did. If they don't then he can just refuse to sign any contract extension and leave for nothing in two years time. For all united can put together financially and for all Madrid can be stubborn, if Ronaldo wants to stay hell stay and if he wants to leave hell leave. He has all the cards, let's see what hand he plays.

If Ronaldo was coming back do u really think Fergie would have left this year, he would surely have signed Ronnie first as a goodbye present

Ronaldo is just using us to get more money at Madrid

Ronaldo was a sensation for us and is an amazing player, but 65m plus Chico for a player who will be 29 during next season is too much. I also think he is using us to get a huge contract at Real, 35m a year that's 700,000 a week gross and 100% of image rights another 20m or 400,000 a week. That equals a million plus gross per week! Even if we could get him, it would mean paying over 80m for him and paying him a massive wage, it just wouldn't be the best investment for the team we could make. We could buy 3 younger world class players for that outlay, though they wouldn't be as good as CR7, there long term impact could be far greater. In the world of fantasy football, or even in my fantasies, it would be a dream come true. However, in the cold light of reality it just wouldn't be the way to go.

Real Madrid will pull out all the stops for him to stay and will be embarrassed for him to leave. It's the equivalent of Messi leaving Barca. They would be perceived as 'not being a top club' in their eyes. I'd love it to happen but simply can't see it. It means more to Madrid than us hence the silly money they will pay him. At this moment in tim for Ronaldo, it seems to me that the player is indeed bigger than the club!

What a load o bull. the ddg rumour was one of the worst kept secrets in football, that had been spoken about as a near certainty for months before he moved, and speculated even longer. it was almost as big a shock as ronaldo wanting to leave for real in the first place!

i agree with most of the posters in that we are being used by his people to get him a better deal and make him the most expensive player in history.

if he was ever to come back it would of been next year, but as it is, I would not expect to see ronaldo in the red of manchester again, he will most probably retire with madrid as one of the greats.
