never get back with an ex - The Cristiano Ronaldo (Returns) Thread

Well were just one injury/suspension away from needing him.

He's going to have to play. Were thin.

 

Saw this on Twitter and is accurate…

United are two signings away from being good and two injuries away from being fooked.

 

Some photos coming out suggesting Ronaldo left the stadium before the game ended today. Not a good look. It’s stuff like this that will cause disrepair in the squad. Can’t have players going against the manager like this.

 

Cristiano Ronaldo and other #mufc players in the director's box left the match early which was sanctioned by Ten Hag, reportedly to beat the traffic and crowds.

Mistake by ETH then. He’s gotta know the optics of that and how it will be taken with the uncertainty around Ronaldo.

 

Not just Ronaldo, but these guys are paid obscene amounts of money and they can’t stay to support the kids in the squad till the end? Poor form.

 

I would dearly love for him to do a tell-all interview and just lay bare the entire club disfunction from ownership to the players.

 

PR stunt. Nevs has a point. Should say his piece now.

 

Not if it screws his future. The club could turn on him real quick.

 

Ronnie needs to speak up or shut the ******** up and get to work. I’m so sick of all our players. Enough of this “truth will come out” bullshit.

 

Are you afraid of lack of goals after he goes.

 

Goals are a product of the team. Ronnie's style of play does not work in ours but we make him fit. A player that links up the attack and presses better can be as productive.

 

Mendes is trying to get Bayern to sign Cristiano by offering him to Dortmund. Do they take everyone for chumps?

 

I don't believe half of what's out there about him right now. Regardless, his lack of self-awareness (which has always been his biggest weakness) is biting him hard right now. The only leverage he may have here is if he significantly lowers his wage demands, which would make him more attractive to smaller CL clubs. However, it's clear that he is refusing to do this. The selfishness is off the charts.

I don't care where he goes, I just know that I don't want him here.

 

We discuss this all the time. Why is it when a player does what's best for himself, their career, and their family is it deemed selfish? Particularly when we don't know what the club promised him when he signed on?

 

I got raise my hand and say I was probably too harsh on him. Given whats happened since the news first came out that he wanted to leave and what we know now about how much of a shitshow we still are, I cant blame him.

My original thinking was he was pulling one over on the club waiting until last minute to ask for a release. But seeing how things have played out, theres a decent chance he was promised a lot of things with regards to letting him leave if we miss out on CL or bringing in a lot of top tier players similar to what Im sure ETH was promised.

Given our current state, I dont blame a single player, legend or not, for wanting out. Nobody should want to play for United until a lot of things change.
