The Commonfan’s Football Poll – What should Man United do with Cristiano Ronaldo
Poll – What should Man United do with Cristiano Ronaldo?
Results - Send him to a first division club on loan – 35%
Sell him to Barcelona to spite Real – 28%
Sell him to Real for a fortune – 21%
I am totally sick of the Ronaldo – Real Madrid saga and I am sure other United fans are too. Forget United fans, I think every football fan has had enough of it. The voting clearly shows what they think about the three protagonists in the drama
The biggest villain as clearly shown by the votes is Ronaldo himself. He is full of himself and probably thinks he is god’s gift to football; a mediocre Euro 2008 notwithstanding. Every morning he makes a new statement and then sits back to enjoy all the attention that brings. He surely feels he is at the centre of the football universe right now. So it’s not surprising that the fans would love to give him a taste of some solitude and isolation, away from all the media glare. How about a little club in the English first division - preferably some place cold where Ronaldo is forever wrapped in mufflers and woollen caps and the media can barely identify him. That will serve him right!!!
The other villains quite obviously are Real Madrid – who think they can get away with anything. They think they have a divine right on every footballer on the planet – they will just make a wish and the player will come running to them. They might have the seal of Spanish royalty but we aren’t ready to treat them as kings. Man United could spite them real bad by offering Ronaldo to Barcelona. As part of the deal, Ronaldo should be allowed to take all the penalties Barca get against Madrid. I would love to see Calderon’s face when Ronaldo scores against Real at the Bernabeau.
United should let Real Madrid have Ronaldo if they can get a fortune in return
And finally, a fair portion of fans also think that United could do well to make the most of this opportunity. I guess most of these are United fans like me, who can see the benefits of a mega transfer kitty - which Ronaldo’s move to Real could bring. United could use that money to buy a right-back, a striker and also pay for Carlos Tevez’s transfer fee. They haven’t managed to ad a single player to their squad this year. The heavy expenditure made last year seems to have tied down Fergie’s hands this season. And how good is a disgruntled superstar. And nobody will pay more for Ronaldo than Real Madrid. The first two options will give us (United fans) a lot of wicked pleasure but option three is most beneficial for the club. Man United and their manager should just shed their pride and sell Ronaldo to Real Madrid for a fortune.

Couldn't agree more LOL... loan him off for first division football somewhere but not real
Hi Avnish,
Excellent point, every true united fan would want to seel Cristiano and the same was the case with me until I realised the following
For all the mind blowing talent that Fergueson has churned out during his stint at the helm , never has any of his poteges been able to win the coveted European player of the year, Beckham came close in 1999 but not close enough. Ronaldo not only has a chance to win the the European player of the year , but also the world player of the year. Busby created 3 European players of the year.
Even you would want this in the history books.
European player of the year 2008.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid/Manchester United)
I certainly wouldnt want that, we created the European player of the year and we deserve to own him.
This certainly would have been one of Fergueson's arguments when persuading Ronaldo to do away with the Madrid dream.
Now, that I think of it, I believe Ronaldo's reasons for seekign a transfer to Madrid were fair enough, and we should nto be hard on him. But now that Sir Alex has managed to keep him at Old Trafford, I think we will see him here for a long time to come, I just have this feeling , what do u reckon?
Afterall, Sir Alex did mention , the more you stay at this club, the harder you find it to leave the Theater of Dreams. :)
Hi Zeus
Welcome to the commonfan's blog
You make an excellent point and I will have to agree with you that this is an honour that Sir Alex and all Red Devil fans like you and me will bask in
Glory to United and three cheers for Ronaldo
The verdict is made - Keep Ronaldo and cheer for a European footballer of the Year
