http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4518101/Cristiano-Ronaldo-says-he-is-unhappy-after-Real-Madrid-game-against-Granada.html

Seems to be throwing a strop. Doubt there is many teams who could afford him. City, Chelsea, that Russian mob possibly or PSG. Cant see him playing in Russia or France. Maybe Sevco could sign him.

Its no secret that CR as never got along with Jose but after reading Marca it seams to me that he"s not happy there now. Yer rite not too many teams can pay his lofty pay scale.

Because they'll pay him lots and he'll win things?

He always had a problem at Madrid, with their fans refusing to call him Ronaldo in deference to their former striker. This sounds like he's asked for something, presumably more money, and been told to bolt.

City or PSG have the pockets deep enough to get him, nobody else.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a ******. In a country where just under 25% of the country are now unemployed and so pretty much living in poverty (by European standards anyway) this big phanny is greetin about being "unhappy" at earning about 10 million Euros a year, playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world and living a great lifestyle. His comments havent gone down well in Spain at all, not surprising really.

LeighLoyal

Seemingly the majority of the squad got bigger bonuses and pay deals for winning the league last season, except Ronaldo, he thinks it's unfair and to a point you have to agree with him. Imagine being part of a team at work and everyone except you gets a big bonus at the end of the year, no matter what you earned, it's still wrong.

I just don't think he will leave real. How many times have we seen this in the past. A player is unhappy and wants to leave then all of a sudden, everyone is happy chappy and the player will stay. Wayne Rooney springs to my mind.

If he was to come back to England, I just got a feeling he will only want to go back to united. He still loves united and united fans still idolise him. You still hear the 20k lads that sit in the Strettford end still chanting "viva ronaldo" to this day. Secondly I remember him having an interview on mutv before the united legends v real legends match. He was asked if he ever would consider returning to utd and Ron replied by saying that he was very happy at real but if their was a chance to come back to England at some point in the future it would definitely be united. He continued by adding If it wasn't for them and for sir Alex, he would never have achieved what he has done right now. Then he was asked what about man city? He instantly said he could never do that because of the passion and connection he has with united and to sign for another English club especially their ciry rivals would be ludicrous as united made him the player he is today and it would be utter disrepectful to not only sir alex but the fans who still love him. Still keeps in touch with Evra, Nani, Anderson & Rooney and also sent them well done texts when they won title number 19.

If it is for money then that's rediculous. Would he really notice the difference between £200k and £250k per week, or whatever the figures might be. Unless he's been extremely silly with his cash, he'll have an infinite supply of money to all intents and purposes. He should base his decision purely on where he'd be happiest living and playing football.

That seems grossly unfair.

Nothing I have seen or read about that game have said that was the reason he was supposed to take the fifth penalty. The coach took responsibility for the decision and in any case, the 4th and 5th penalties generally have the most pressure on them and are most likely to be missed. Therefore, it makes a certain kind of sense that Portugal's best player would take the last. Personally, I'd have had him take the 4th, but that's the benefit of hindsight, isn't it?

I'd be careful about ascribing behaviour to the guy based on what you think he's like - "it's important to remember that the parts of life on public display are rarely enough to provide the complete image of an actual human being."

I think this has more to do with the changes in Spannish tax laws. Ronaldo is now paying 52% tax and i think more big name players will be leaving Spain in the near future.
On a similar note, Hulk has left Porto for Zenit. More and more top players will be heading East as the money and tax laws are too good to turn down. I mean when a world class talent at his prime ignores the Premiership and La Liga for trips to Siberia and Chechnya then you know something is up.

You are of course right City are just the most extreme version of an obscene ownership culture in English football and Utd are possibly the worst example.

Can see where you are comin from Lobster but that was 20 years ago nobody wins trophies anymore with majority of players who have come through the ranks except Barcelona and even they are having to buy bjg to stay at the top.
As for Scholes him Giggs and Ferdinand are past it, he is ok when United dominate the lesser teams but what did he do at the Ethiad? nothing just a little violent thug who United brought back in panic mode...the tide has turned and fans don't care anymore who plays for them as long as their team wins..

they lost the league on goal difference last season, have added van persie and kagawa. 4-2 up against everton with ten minutes to go and drawing 4-4 lost them the title and that was down to basic defensive errors. vidic is worth at least a point over the season anyway and that would have been enough to win it.

I've nae particular love for any English teams, but Scholes, Giggs and Ferdinand are all still quality players. To dismiss Paul Scholes the way you have is ridiculous. There arent many teams who wouldn't love to have him as an option in the middle of the park.

Spot on mate, portugals coach said after it that he had chosen his order before the tournament even began. But blaming it on Ronaldos ego is a lot better for most people.

I told a few guys on here ages ago Man City have had him watched many times. Even just after he moved to Madrid.

Fair point. Then again at least tevez and yaya returned for that crucial run-in. If they two were available in jan, I doubt city would have dropped that many points, but the same thing goes for united. I think united would have won it if they never had a horrendous injury list last season whereas city had the lowest amount of injuries than any other team last season. Not only united had their captain and one of the leagues best defender out but two of their most influential midfielders in fletcher and cleverley, i doubt united would have thrown away a 8 point lead in the run in and go on to lose the title with virtually the last kick of the season on goal difference. Fletcher out with a serious and severe illness that could have seen him give football up for good and cleverley getting injured when he was on top form last season. Also the retirement of VDS was a big blow as well as he was the best gk united have had since schmeichel. They brought in DDG who was getting slaughtered by the English media after a couple of Jens Lehman style blunders but not knowing that when he was signed he was basically 19 years old and couldn't speak English and trying to settle into a whole new lifestyle in a completely different country.

Do you think city would have won it if they had Hart, Kompany, Yaya, Silva, Aguero & Tevez all out injured at once for a long period?

Joey Barton won the title for citeh. Had the radge not reacted to Carlos Quasimodo the whistle would've blown a good 2 mins earlier. But still there was a certain poetic justice to the timing of it I must admit. My Vidic theory is not way off it is spot on. Problem is it opens up too many other possibilities and imponderables. Citeh won the title fair and square given the results against Utd.
Next citeh title another 44 yrs in 2056 would be funny though eh?

The injury situation was no accident.

City had fewer injuries for two reasons.

Firstly Mancini rotated the squad (and got a lot of flack for it).The only constant selections were Kompany, Ya Ya Toure, and Silva. Aguero started the majority but rarely if ever was kept on for 90 minutes. The four full backs were rotated almost match by match. Lescott was replaced by Kolo Toure or Savic from time to time. The strikers were continually rotated as were the rest of the midfield.

Secondly, City have probably the most advanced sports science unit in UK footaball.

United come across as bungling amateurs in this respect. They also have a number of thirty somethings in the squad. They seem to have started this season with more injuries than last year!
