Ronaldo is gone

The thing is, I’m sure if Ronaldo asked to be released without any pay off, the club would have obliged.

Credit where it’s due: the club has dealt with this quickly, carefully, professionally and correctly.

Which is something we don’t get to say very often.

Toney could be our new Louis Saha without the injuries.

Puts to bed the daft notion by a few on here that the Glazers would back Ronaldo.

BTW I hate being right about things, so it's with great discomfort that I stand wholeheartedly by my Ronaldo take from August 2021: https://www.ja606.co.uk/articles/viewArticle/437540

DC77 clicks on article and hopes he didn't make a massive fool of himself on there.

Would it have been petty to wait til Portugal got knocked out, then dropped it as he’s walking off the pitch…

Petty ain’t it. Yet it feels so right….

As a life-long United fan it is a good result. He has been an immense player for the club but Manchester United are far bigger than Cristiano and need to get rid. His continued presence, ego and comments are harmful. Thank you but bye-bye. Some team will want him if they can pay his pension.

I see your point… they may go far in this years comp.
Can’t risk it. We’d look silly, and petty.
We did it the classy way.
Although, I want to know if there’s any pressure on the Glazers.
Disney the other day, schooled Hollywood with a public firing of their CEO. Cos their stock has taken a hit, some felt it was going in the wrong direction.
Pulled the trigger.
Dude had only been in the job 10 months.

What are Man Utd doing?

Looking at the comments, not a single poster made a fool of themselves which was disappointing.

I do remember a boisterous 'told you so' article from someone (I think Stretty) after his debut last year though.

Good that he’s gone but cannot think of a single top striker that will be available in January window. Best option is Gakpo and he is not an out and out striker, more like Rashford.

Took his header well yesterday

Yes. People on the whole did temper their excitement with caution.

RR was also right about Greenwood not playing much. Is he, like Culer, on the case?

Seems to be a trend with us past 6 years where we sign a once world class aging player who gives us one great season but goes all tîits up the second season. Ibra, Cavani and now Ronaldo….who’s next?

posted on 22/11/22

There were no more than a handful of us on the United board who were dead against Ronaldo coming back.

I would really love to here from Ole on whether he was really OK with it.

Surely EtH will demand we bring in a replacement in January.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We’ll get a striker but I’d be surprised it it’s a big money one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why does it have to be a big money transfer? Why not a good player transfer?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good players are usually expensive.

Yes as proven by United..... not

As proven by pretty much all of football.

Kompany just got asked at HT by Linekar if he’d take him at Burnley when they announced the news, he said no as they “need players that can run”.
