Which Slaves move around in the Best Wheels,own houses worth Million of Dollars & earn Salaries paid per week which is equal to the Lifelong salaries of 90% of the Population of the earth. Ronaldo was a nothing player until he was spotted by Fergusson & drafted in once Beckham left.He was picked when no Club was interested in him.Fergusson moulded him & made him a player he is today.But sadly in Todays materilistic world Money has more value than the Maker.Instead of slave i think Ronaldo is being happy to be sold like a Pound of flesh to the highest bidder.Sometimes its beter to be slave than a WH..E

well,thats just one side of story..these Clubs are no saints..they just throw out the players or make them to sit on the bench when they feel that players is not of use..so that evens !anyway wats the use in keeping a player who is not interested in playing for them? and Club did not make a favor to Ronaldo by grooming him.. if u r aware clubs GDP depends on number of matches they win EPL every season.. ronaldo helped them to win maximum number of games in alst 2 seasons..if they sell him,then also they make huge profit!

Well said.There r 2 sides to a Coin.My point was till last year no team was interested in Ronaldo.His excellent play came into only this season with Man U.Secondly he has not been able to do the same with his Country with a Different Coach proves that Fergie knows how to get the best out of him.Where a Player has to play, what side of the feild & position & when he comes on the feild is all Dictated by the Coach which was done spot on by Fergie.Players also sit on the benches when they have injuries or if they are in doubt of agrevating a previous injury or if they are in danger of being Red Carded or simply if they are out of form.Sometimes even as a punishment for breaking rules or skipping practise or just to give plain rest & test bench strength.If Man U made money out of him then Real willtry to get maximum mileage out of their investment which will result in his burnout.

thats too early to predict..if u could recollect,the same fergie kicked out beckham and roy keane from the club even when both of them were committed to the club! and in footbal its the form that matters and ronaldo is in form of his life...so real madrid wants to cash in on that .in my view he would nevr be a great player at international arena..only Kaka fits the bill of potential great palyer! see ronaldhino,the maverick genius is out of favour in barca and may be put on sale soon!

In my view when you have something to sell .. sell it .. becouse when you have not a good product no one buys .. even the manufaturers throw their own products after expiry .. SO Ronaldo is right .... :-)

Hey guys i think MAN U must let him go. He cant do any good for the club now and united can definately do better business without him. No point in keeping player in side who doesnt want to play for you. He will not succed in Spain and i can bet Real Madrid President will be scratching their heads.
Very true.... What's use of keeping someone who is not interested, there are tons waiting to join MAN U. So I am fully Ronaldo and it's the players who need to decide if they want to be there or not with the club. A termination clause with proper clauses will solve it

When a player signs a Clause for 5 Years he generally is satisfied with his signing amt.He is not a minor but a Adult making a Decision.When he joined Man U he was a average player.His hard work together with the proper guidance of Fergie has helped him to reach this level.Here its a classic case of bite the Hand that feeds
