What a sad life he must lead,given that he is paid a fortune to kick a ball around,if he desires to go let him,he signed a contract,does he not understand what a contract is? Pay his way out,,the problem here is he thinks he doesnt have to,because he,s sooo good,he is over paid and over rated.

I too dont understand why RM are considered a massive club. In the last 40 years, AC Milan amongst others have been more successful and are just as well supported throughout the world.
The 5 Euro cups in the 50s dont really count as no one else was playing in the comp, no ManU, Liverpool etc.

CR is a millionarie already, money issue is not substancial as he will be paid well anywhere. He is after his origins, mediterranean life style+nice weather+relax+some fun. Many Brittons retire in Spain for the same reason .
His alternative is AF discipline+cold weather+boredom despite his wealth.

Inaki, Madrid, Spain

Look. It doesn't matter if;Real want him, Ronaldo wants to go, United want him to stay or the fans want United to take the money. all these things are irrelevant because the fact is he singed a contract. that should be the end of it, for if he leaves that means that every contract doesn't matter.

Cristopher, London, England

A bit rich coming from Tevez, who has a drawer full of transfer controversy in his career. Even as a Gunners fan I've always liked Rooney/Giggs/Scholes for their loyalty. If Ron goes, Utd will maybe play a TEAM game instead of "give it to the ballhog." While he's at it, Ronnie can take Ade with him.

Shannon, Richmond, VA, USA

This is a sad indictment of foreign footballers in general. They have no loyalty to their team. Would you ever hear Paul Scholes or Jamie Carragher say this about a team mate? It shows a lack of class from Tevez + another reason why many football fans are turned off & FC Utd & others now thrive

A Thomas, Lanchester,

He signed the contract. End of story.

David Tyson, brisbane, australia

Tevez doesn't say Ronaldo should go. He says his views should be respected. A completely different thing.

The lad's under contract and, to the best of my knowledge, Real Madrid have not placed a bid for Ronaldo. Until they do, this is just so much hot air.

Giordano Bennetti, Swindon,

I think its best if Man u let Ronaldo join Real M .We all know he is a good player with great potential but if his featutre s wiyh Reai then one have to understand that

Tuyeny, windhoek, Namibia

Where does all this garbage about Real being the best team in the world come from? Remove the European Cups won in the 50's, when English teams either weren't playing in it or after United got decimated at Munich, and where would they stand? Average at best, a mediocre record despite Franco's cash!

Bob, Manchester,

I think he should leave if he so desires and we wish him best of luck. Before cristano ronaldo we had great players, after him i can assure you we will have greater players. A tree does not make a forest. Lets's concentrate on preparations for the coming season and forget this distractions.

Not surprising the opinion of Tevez: Ronaldo playing at real = one more chance to be titular and to shine at man utd for Tevez. If i were him, sure i would support Ronaldo's departure

Kévin, Lyon, France

Man.Utd are ignoring their own fans' wishes with their timeless arrogance in keeping a player who wants to leave. The vast majority of Utd fans appear insulted by Ronaldo and want him to go. £65m is an obscene amount of money and shouldn't be turned down lightly.

Chris H, Woking, UK

He should be made to stay and watch the next season on the bench - a contract is a contract and it is therefore not up to him, especially this early into it.

Forest, Lydney,

I say let him go and good luck. He is a one trick pony. He does not provide constant effort for United like Rooney or Tevez. Man United would be better without him. Not only has this caused unsettlement within Man United it must also be having the same effect with Real Madrid.

Bubz , Ipswich , Suffolk

I used to have a lot of respect for man u until this Ronaldo issue...if the dude wants to go let him go, no player is bigger than the team. Pursuing him around trying to get him to stay is degrading.

Ola, Kent,

Let him go and be rid of these greedy little vain man from the English game.

Alan Delaney, London,

If Rio ever urged me to do anything, then the exact opposite of his suggestion would be the correct course of action. So with Rio saying stay and Tevez saying go, Ronaldo must feel everyone wants to see the back of him...

clivex, Bristol, England

We shouldn't really be surprised that some footballers are unable to grasp the meaning of a contract.

julian, shrewsbury,

I think Ronaldo and Ronaldo only should decide.After all it's his career

Junior, Johannesburd, South Africa

Ronaldo PLEASE STAY!!!

Dave Lamont , Belfast , Northern Ireland

Yet another none story about Ronaldo. Ronaldo is not for sale, he hasn't put in a transfer request, Real haven't made a bid. If he puts in a transfer request he and his agent get no part of the fee. If Real put in a bid United will ask them to show they can pay. Ronaldo you are a slave, live wth it!

Andrew, Manchester, England

face the fact ....if the price gets high enough , ManU will be happy to sell

at the moment they are negotiating !!!

colin grayson, paris,

let him leave if he wants, he should do whatever makes him happy and noone should stop him to live the life he wants.besides its a natural step to wanna go and play for real madrid, we have to admit its the best team in the world.

barbara, london, england

Please note:
Ronaldo will not ever be the player you are supposing to be!
Each good player, as all good ones around the World, must have two major needs: Technical skills and Personality .
Ronaldo's consistent personality...you can appreciate!
Technical skills..Do you remember Portugal Euro 08?

Manuel Lopes, PORTO, PORTUGAL

I am a big fan of Man United. till last month i always believe Cristiano should stay at Man U, but due to his attitude i am no longer a fan of ronaldo. The bottom line i can say is no player is bigger than a team. If you look at the past we had many No.7 players and we will get many in future aswell

Syed Gazanfar, Hounslow, United Kingdom

This novel is above limits. I am Portuguese and I should say that Cristiano has become a shame for Portuguese people. Even after being so well treated by Sir Ferguson, who always stands for him and gives him the best commentaries, and by ManUnited supporters as well, he could not repay to the club.
