Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United for Real Madrid last season for a record breaking fee. Though his form has been consistent for the Spanish side, but with the change of their manager, I wonder whether we can bring Ronaldo back to OT.
Real Madrid have announced the sacking of Manuel Pellegrini, paving the way for Jose Mourinho to take up the vacant Bernabeu hotseat. Its only a matter of time when the Special One will be unveiled as the new manager of Real Madrid.
Jose has special admiration for some of his Chelsea and Inter players and may bring them to Madrid. In such a case, its going to be difficult for Ronaldo to cement his place in the team.
Moreover, Jose and Ronaldo were never in awe of each other when they were in the Premier League. I remember, Jose saying that he would like to add Wayne Rooney and Thierry Henry to his Chelsea side then.
The Special One is known to be a firm believer in the importance of team work. He issued a stern warning to Real Madrid 'Stars' saying that there are no stars in his team. His message to the players of Real Madrid was, "If I train them, they are not stars, the star is not the coach, the star is the team. If they all accept this like when I was at Porto, Chelsea or Inter, the victories will come."
There's no doubt that both Ronaldo and Jose have huge egos and if Ronaldo isn't treated like a star, he's surely going to move on. So can Sir Alex bring CR7 back to OT?
Sir Alex generally doesn't like to pay extravagant prices to bring stars to Manchester United. However, he had said that he would spend $60mn to bring Ronaldo back to OT. I hope his contract has a buy-back clause. If it is there, then Ronaldo might be "The only" signing that Sir Alex has been referring since last week.
What say folks? Can we bring Cristiano Ronaldo back to the Theatre of Dreams?
He came.
He played magnificent football.
He scored awesome goals.
He was loved by the fans.
He became the world's best footballer.
and then...
He left Manchester United.
This is the simple story of Cristiano Ronaldo who moved to Real Madrid this summer and leaving his United teammates who still miss him.
One of his teammates (not a buddy) Wayne Rooney recently said that Ronaldo is irreplaceable. He went on to say that he is missing the influence of Cristiano Ronaldo on the Old Trafford outfit.
"I'd prefer him to still be in the team if I'm being honest."
"He's a brilliant player, irreplaceable, the best player in the world - so no one's happy he left."
"He's a brilliant player, irreplaceable, the best player in the world - so no one's happy he left."
I do not agree with Rooney's views. I appreciate what Ronaldo did for United and also understand the impact he had during his six-year spell in Manchester. The talented Portugal international bagged a staggering 118 goals in just 292 appearances for the Red Devils and went on to help United win the Champions League and the league title thrice.
Let's be practical. CR7 is a closed chapter now for Man Utd. He's gone. So let's stop cribbing about it and give the new guys more authority and freedom so that they can deliver the same goods. After all nobody's departure has ever hurt United.
Do you think Manchester United misses Cristiano Ronaldo?
A day after Cristiano Ronaldo completed his record transfer to Real Madrid, his ex-manager Sir Alex Ferguson has paid tribute to him. Sir Alex's love for CR7 was clearly evident during his United days, when he would be seen mentoring, coaching and even joking with the Portuguese winger.
The compliment comes after a statement on www.manutd.com stated that Real had paid the required transfer fee for Ronaldo. While Sir Alex was busy in making the deal for Antonio Valencia, he did have time to comment about Real's new player.
Sir Alex said
Cristiano has been a marvelous player for Manchester United. His six years at Old Trafford have seen him develop into the best footballer in the world. His contribution has been a major factor in the club's success in that time and his talent, his ability to entertain and his infectious personality have enthralled fans the world over. Everyone here wishes him well in his future career.Well, the debate about Ronaldo's class will last forever, I guess. While many people laud his skills, there are still some people who think he is a diver, a cheat and a shrewd guy. But, whosoever he is and however he plays, we gotta keep one thing in mind that he is the World Player and has done a lot for United. Both in terms of football, trophies, publicity, etc.
Good luck Ronaldo :)
Sir Alex Ferguson has again fanned the flames of Manchester United's battle with Real Madrid over Cristiano Ronaldo.
United boss has now claimed he does not believe Real's pursuit is over in enticing Ronaldo to Bernabeu. The Premier League and Champions League winners refused to sell the Portuguese forward and Madrid president Ramon Calderon recently said they would only reignite their interest if United wanted to do a deal. But this week has seen a war of words between Ferguson and Calderon.
I wonder whether Sir Alex has started to entice Real for a Ronaldo transfer in the winter. This is still very possible. What do you think?
Sir Alex Ferguson droped a bombshell by claiming that one day Cristiano Ronaldo has to leave Man Utd to join his dream club: Real Madrid.
He said that every professional footballer dreams of playing for Real or Barcelona. And given the talent and the form CR7 has displayed over the years, Real were tempting him to leave Manchester. This transfer sage stretched the whole summer with the Portugese star deceiding to stay for another year, after the advice from his manager.
Sir Alex said, "I pointed out to him how much better it would be to leave like Eric Cantona, with the fans loving and appreciating him. " The crowd still chant Cantona's name and I told Cristiano "Leave a hero like Eric" and one day he will. But not yet.
