Ronaldo states the obvious

Ronaldo said:

I should get out of Manchester as the circumstances are not right

No shit, Sherlock!

Ronaldo said:

I haven't had any support from my chief executive (David Gill) or my coach (Sir Alex Ferguson). They should have come out in my defence but no-one did

Even Ferguson draws the line somewhere when the cheating is so blatant!

I think O'Neill's on drugs (and I used to rate him):

"...He told BBC Radio Five Live: "One of the greatest managers <Ferguson> of all time should sort that problem out, and I don't think he's had too much difficulty in the past...."

You mean like how he handled the Beckham situation? Or the Van Nistelroy one? Or the Stamp one? Or the horse racing fiasco? Or his retirement? Or his perpetual moaning about how decisions always go against his side. Perhaps we're talking about a different person...

I would think Capello is happy Ronaldo's saying he wants to come to Madrid. It gives him some nice bargaining power when he's talking to a number of players who are all looking to move there (allegedly).

As for Ronaldo, it's no surprise that he's using this as the excuse. He was looking for a move before this all kicked off. The boy really has grown up an awful lot.

Be interesting to see how ManUtd plc deal with it. 4yrs left on his contract is an awful long time...

PS I'm not convinced he'll find the safe haven he thinks he will anywhere outside Portugal, judging by the reaction he's received in the two games since Rooneygate.

Worst player of the world cup. Needs some red cards for cheating. Yellow cards for diving obviously aren't harsh enough. They should call it cheating, which is what it is and red card the players. You could get that out of the game within a year. It would be an exciting year.

TBH i dont really think he's good enough for Barca with the players they already have. Why would they want a show pony when they have ronaldinho, deco, and Messi

overated i think he tries too hard to look pretty on the ball and do too much clever stuff,not good enough for the top stage.

I was waiting to see him take a way out of United,i dont think he will come back to the UK at all now.
