Add to this,that Real Madrid are probably soon not going to be the biggest club in the world.(In Asia,they'r far behind Manchester United and the Premier League.I can second this,being an Indian,90% of all football fanatics here in India support EPL teams,most of them supporting Man U)They're not dominating like they used too in the De Stefano era,but unfortunately,they're a little too used to getting what they want.Hence the fact that they practice underhand tactics a bit more than the others. True,tapping up is everywhere with today's mercaneries,but the ronaldo saga has gone on far too long.Expressing your admiration for a player is one thing,making comments like Ronaldo will one day play at the Bernabeu is quite another.We havnt seen that from any other club.It is in bad taste and obviously aimed at unsettling the club and the fans,and the speculation that follows will unsettle the player.And the media plays its part in this, as is explained so well. However,Ahmed i do agree you are a little too biased towards Man United.I'm myself a die hard United fan,but you gotta write about these things dispassionately. The Madrid Magic is still there.Real Madrid is still the biggest club in the world.Scoffing at me?Well,now ask yourself,had Ronaldo been playing in Madrid rather than in United,could United have caused so much speculation by doing what Real are doing now? The fact is that Real are the only club in the world that can do this. You might say that Barca did the same with Henry, but in that case it was more about playing with the attacking power of Eto'o,Ronaldinho and Messi rather than playing for Barcelona.RVN also said That though United are a big club,Real are in a different League altogether. However,back to the point you raised,it sure is unfair for the player.Did Henry get the right farewell after doing what he did for Arsenal. This is an important issue which must be tackled.The solution:-Players must come up themselves,and clarify.Create personal websites and say to the fans personally that please remember the thousands of times I've said I wanna say rather than the one time I've said the future is uncertain.The manager and the team have a great role to play in this too Woaah,easy there Spiral.Looks like you’re really in for Ahmed

Although to be fair hargreaves spent the last five years of his time at bayern saying he wanted to move to england. Although i would love to see ronaldo go so that utd would have far less a chance of winning the title, if he did go i would be pissed off as well.simply because utd are in the same boat as Arsenal. I remember hearing ramon calderon saying that if cesc wanted to go to real he would have to make the first move because he doesn't want to disrespect arsenal. so calling out a player to put in a transfer request is respectful? what a dickhead. yeah Ahmed, nobody complained about the walcott deal at the time, that seems to be just an annoyed response at something which holds some truth.

SAF deserves what he gets when it comes to tapping up or attempting to unsettle his club's players, he a past master at the art. Live by the sword, die by the sword. The only people who really care about this issue are United fans, who realise without Ronaldo they are in big trouble. For the rest of us, Ferguson is only having to cop whet he's done to others for years. Move along there, nothing to see here! The whole Ronaldo ‘will he/wont he?’ nonsense bores me quite frankly.

Real and Barca have been trying to unsettle Fabregas (and others) for the last few seasons and it's bloody annoying now. You're a ManU fan, of course you're going to be pissed about Crissy first but those Spanish teams are gonna keep doing it to ALL big players. Though Raed should read some Arsenal blogs...of course people complain about Real's and Barca's and Inter Milan's and AC Milan's tapping up. Is it just me or do Spanish and Italian clubs invite controversy and ridicule? Aw c’mon Ahmed, that’s not fair about the Arsenal media and you know it.

But i've read enough of your articles to get a feeling when you're really taking offence to something. If you're really looking at intelligent analysis of this situation then its still 60-40 that he stays. He's signed a new uber-enhanced contract, he says he loves the team & then he goes around saying 'you never know what the future holds'. Whatever. Its enough fuel for speculation according to the current 'media rules'. ANd with a high profile player like Ronaldo you cannot expect the pressure to be any less intense than it already is. What i was getting at is what you mentioned towards the end of your comment where you said you try not to get sucked into these annoying speculations. Even if i was as pissed off as you about this 'media-circus', i probably would have written the title & the article along the lines of something like...'Real Madrid's dirty tricks for dummies' or 'crash course in media wars by Real Madrid' & put a cynical spin on things coz that's the way these incidents alway happen all the time. If it wasn't Ronaldo it would be someone else. You want to put perspective on things, that's fine. You want to see the 99% of stuff that's not being covered, that's great. In which case you probably should have mentioned that other clubs like Barcelona do the same crap all the time. Possibly do a meta-analysis of how Real Madrid does it differently from other clubs. I know very well that even my beloved Arsenal was/is quite capable of doing under-handed things (with someone like David Dein on the board for so long i'm not surprised). And if you thought that what i said about your team was a part of my 'anti-man utd' arsenal, you must think i'm the tamest critic of Man Utd there is. Play the game Ahmed. Stick with your tongue-in-cheek thing. Don't get self-righteous on me now. Laugh at them, ridicule them. Don't rage against the storm. Ahmed –
