OK first things first. I do think that Ronaldo is a world class player BUT,,,, (and Ronaldo fans can crie all they want about this). He is not as good as he may think or as people believe... Here is why and why moving to Madrid may not be a good idea for him.....

First Madrid's goals: 3rd liga (which most likely wont happen, even with Ronaldo)

2nd. the 10th Champions League Title.

Now one thing is for sure, Madrid does not have a team powerful enough to take the champions league and, signing Ronaldo isnt gonna change that fact.

To buy Ronaldo they would have to sell a couple of players, (Robinho, Saviola, Soldado etc).

Ronaldo would probably be their only (important) summer signing because of the high price they will have to pay for him.

Now, let's face When MAN U won the champions league they it wasnt because of Ronaldo's football. Ok so he opened the score at Moscow. BUT he missed the one penalty that could have costed Man U the Champs League. One other thing, the goal that got MAN U in the final did not come from Ronaldo's feet it came from Scholes. And where was Ronaldo????/ Let's see he missed another important penalty kick at the Nou Camp and he really didn't do much at Old Trafford... So is he everything he seems to be???? Not to me. To me MAN U won that Champs League because of their very strong team, yes Ronaldo played an important role, but not a defining one,,, you can't forget about Giggs, Tevez, Rooney, Scholes, Ferdinand, Evra, Park even, they all played their part. Ronaldo shined because he was sorrounded by other world class players not just because of his game.

Last point, in Madrid they will expect him to do almost if not everything, and Madrid, right now is a joke next to Man U. I firmly believe that if in the Next Champs league Madrid happens to be unfortunate enough to run into MAN U in the knock out rounds,, MAN U will win without a problem EVEN IF Madrid has Ronaldo.

All that will happen if Ronaldo moves to Madrid is that he will get his ankles kicked injuries will follow, he will lose game, and only shine with teams the likes of Murcia(no offense to Murcia). Madrid is just like little spoiled girl who wants a football overrated (yes overrated) superstar at any cost. I think that MAN U will do fine without Ronaldo and continue to be the dominating team in the EPL. Can't say the same for Madrid and Ronaldo......

That's just my opinion... Hope to hear yours

Interesting line of reason...but there is one thing you said that I may outrightly disagree with and that is that Madrid is a joke next to ManU....don't you know who Real Madrid is??? ManU might look like a joke next to them!! Real is one of the deepest teams in La Liga and the Most successful team in Club football. They are certainly no joke. ManU will never be able to beat them WITH NO PROBLEM. And it would be harder to beat them if they had Ronaldo.

I may not rate Ronaldo either but I do have a healthy respect for his ability

As do I. But In the last two editions of the Champions League. Madrid was outdone and outplayed by a very decent and very talented Roma. And what did Man U do to Roma??? What about the 06-07 season??? Yes Madrid has lots a cups but, as of right now they are not a team that would scare any big team in England and apparently even Italy, I too respect Ronaldo's ability as a player but I very much doubt the fact that he will give Madrid that 10th Champions League they so desperately want...

Oh and perhaps I did exaggerate when I said that MAN U would beat Madrid easily but still I very much doubt that anyone would disagree with me that MAN U can beat Madrid. with or without Ronaldo....

he wont be the most popular figure with the senior team-mates there either.i saw something about casillas and raul complaining to calderon about the effect on the dressing room he could possibly have but calderon is ignoring them.not the smartest move.doesnt bother me though,as long as he moves

No because Raul thinks he owns Madrid even though he SUCKS and Casillas is next in line for captain. big egos and the Madrid dressing room wont be big enough to accomodate three big egos (specially Ronaldo's)

I'd like to add that it's inevitable that Ronaldo will go someday, whether it be this summer or next, I don't see him stayn at Man Utd for long especially if they win a couple of trophies again next year. As far as my personal opinion is concerned, I hope he does, because of many reasons. Firstly, I now hate him, even though he is world class. Secondly, he's after the money, I hope he gets his move and is then sidelined for months.

Maybe he will shine for a season or two but then he will probably just end up like Ronaldinho or Beckham. Madrid's team is still strong, no doubt, and on their day they can beat anybody. I wouldn't say Man U can beat them as easily as it was first mentioned on here but at some level, I do think that it will be easier for Man U to beat Madrid then it will be for Madrid to beat Man U.

Apparently, Man U have made a bid for Berbatov so we'll see how he fits into the plans and it can even make United stronger. If Madrid do come up against United then it will be fascinating to see the contest because they're both strong in all areas of the pitch.

If Ronaldo does go to Real, and they both face each other, I think it would be slightly harder for United. But with all the money they get, I'm sure they'll pump some fresh talent into the squad.

But, I'm not sure whether Ronaldo will be able to adapt to the different style of football. I dont really watch a lot of Spanish football but they seem to play with shorter, quick passes and Ronaldo, is either good at crossing or heading in goals from crosses. Maybe that's wrong, I don't know. But I'd like to see that happen. Then Man U can reject him if he wants to come back.

well im not so sure he's chasing after the money..

if you look he cried at finishing 3rd in the world player of the year, i think that he's after the title of greatest player ever lived. the reason he wants to go to real madrid is pressure from his mother to see him in a real shirt and the stardom it'll bring him. if he cant have greatest player then why not have the title of most recognised player in the world??

i dont fault the guy for wanting to play in spain, i belive the EPL in the best league in the world but he only realy has 10 years to that he'll be playing at the top level and making a huge impact because there are always younger better players coming along. if he goes to real it wont affect man u because the money they'll receive will provide for a deeper team. and in my view thats what won them the title last year, they had a deeper team then arsenal.

Madrid have been chokers at the CL for the last five years. And there's just too much ego at Real Madrid for Ronaldo to have the last laugh.

Cristiano Ronaldo is classical and sensational player of world football. He plays for Portugal team. But according to the believe of peoples on him he is not good enough. The great Madrid team buy Ronaldo at the cost of selling his best players Robinho, Saviola, Soldado etc.

It's not a very bright idea for a club to sell 3-4 of their good players just to bring one "very good" player because if that player should ever have a bad streak or an injurie than that particular club would be in a very tight spot, and that's for every club I believe not just for the Madrid-Ronaldo situation... Oh and for whoever laughed at my coment that Raul SUCKS because he does "SUCK" just one comment,,, How is it that Raul being that "great" player that he is didnt go to the Euro with Spain???? Would Spain have won it if Raul had been there? Anyone can have their own opinion on this one but my opinion is that if that "Great Player" had gone with Spain, Spain wouldn't be celebreting right now.......

His ability had nothing to do with him not being included in the squad as that was one his best season for years. Madrid are and always will be the greatest club in european football if not world football and Raul has been there through it all, From today's Moderate side back to the galactico days and he has been consistent all the time, The guy is a great goalscorer and has been exceptional for madrid even when La Liga was classed as the best league in the world. And no if he was in the spanish side they probably wouldnt have won as spains style of play has changed and it no longer suits raul. Just because a player isnt in the national team doesnt make him a bad player. The guy is a legend.

well raul has done well in the time he's been at real madrid but i'll forget his very quickly, once he's gone and noone mentions him anymore i think ppl who are not hardcore madrid fans will forget about raul..

now the whole real madrid are legends in europe issue annoys me because you cant hide the failure of today behind the success of yesterday, same thing with liverpool. they suck in the EPL they are just horrible, but they are the most successfull english team in history but they are shit now so you cant say that they good based on past evens. right now man united are the best team and im hoping i can say that arsenal are some day soon.
but madrid are good in spain but lose out in the champions league which shows how the spainish league has dropped but you cant say they awesome based on the results of the past

I agree, Everyone talks about Madrid's and Madrid's 9 cups blah blah blah,, keep in mind that 5 of those nine they won in the 50s when all the other big player teams were not that big, also they had DiStefano one of the greatest ever. And ok Raul isnt is not a good player if it wasnt cuz he plays for Madrid he'd be just another forward that you would only pay a couple millions for.. He didn't make the national team because he is NOT a good player and Aragones knew it he said, and I quote" We(Spain) had never won anything with that man(Raul)" and as far as Im concerned if he was in that squad they wouldn't have. He can have all the ligas and the fame he wants with Madrid but he will always wish that he had been there to win the Euro cup and Aragones was proved right, they never won anything with him before and now that he is not there Spain did win so anyone can say what they want but I side with Aragones...
