exAtyeoMax Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Oh well… I wonder whose idea it was to sign him? Senior management vs football management…? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bas's perfect hattrick Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 This part made me laugh: Quote "I don't know why he [Wayne Rooney] criticises me so badly... probably because he finished his career and I'm still playing at a high level," said Ronaldo. "I'm not going to say that I'm looking better than him. Which is true…" Sounds like a petulant teenager... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demanding respect purely due to past glories whilst ignoring the gradual but inevitable decline of his own structure. Seems he's at the perfect club tbh. 3 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Strange timing for this interview. He's thrown his toys out of the pram, but managed to get back into the team, so not sure why he'd now rock the boat YET AGAIN. Proof it's all about him. He's been an incredible football player, but like everything, all good things come to an end. He obviously can't accept that he isn't 21 anymore and his playing career coming to an end. He's paid an obscene amount of money, I get he's a winner and still wants to play, but should be focusing on helping the younger players, as no doubt they ALL look up to him. Can't see him playing for Utd ever again after this. How can he?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Probably trying to back them into a corner by telling him to leave, and to find a new club. Trouble is, I think if anybody seriously wanted him in the summer, then he would have gone, and man utd wouldn't have stood in the way. Wages will be the big issue wherever he goes, and I don't think many will want to take that on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) He's always been a a bit of an arrogant preening tosser, hasn't he. For most of his career anyway, last 10-15 years perhaps since he really got big. Edited November 14, 2022 by Mr Popodopolous 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Maybe they should arrange a few friendlies in the States for him to play in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTonyTony Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 He has had some bad advice here. He should realise he is not going to get anything better than Man U at this point in his career. No top team is going to pay him what he is earning, with all the distraction he brings. If he had any sense he would keep his head down and try and enjoy the final year or so of his career. All thats open to him now is a disgraceful exit, and ply his trade in the US or some other crappy league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 I don't know exactly whose it idea it was at Man City that made Man Utd think Ronaldo was about to go there at the beginning of last season but, in hindsight, whoever it was an evil genius... 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fammyfan Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 I question his decision to join United in the first place. Ronaldo is a player that expects to be successful, he wants to be the best and that’s respectable. It was a bad decision for him to join United, they had just finished 3rd but they were massively behind Man City and Liverpool. For his next move, he now has the decision of whether to go to another continent for money or take a pay cut to be successful in another European league.

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 A return to Sporting Lisbon with a massive pay cut needed could be a good move, that is where he started, the club who gave him his big break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAmNick Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Looks like there's some legit criticism of United in there, but it's so mixed up with the 80% of self serving crap it's mostly lost. Shame as it seemed quite valid to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
