he's as good as gone. despite furguson's protests and threats he has no trouble offloading star players who have stopped towing the line, just look at his history with beckham, stam and van nistelrooy. he'll sell ronaldo after the euros and will demand a staggering fee. madrid have put themselves in the position where they'll have to pay the fee to avoid losing face and backing down (though obviously the more they pay the more stupid they'll actually look). what we'll have then is the mancs with an enormous amount of money to spend and the whole transfer scene fucked up beyond belief as every half decent player gets an extra 10 million slapped on his price tag. platini is going to have a heart attack - which is probably the only good thing that will come out of the whole farce.
ask yourselves what you would prefer. the mancs with ronaldo or the mancs without ronaldo and an extra 60 or 70 million quid to spend on players next season. i bet they are already secretly salivating over their shopping list and the phone to various agents and representatives is smoking hot.
its all a load of b*ll*c*ks and s*i*e and ronaldo is a complete and utter wanker
The likliest prospect will be the Mancs having an even bigger pot of cash to spend when the little c.unt goes but another possible scenario that ANDY_G didn't mention is the Glazers are possibly doing a HICKS trying to gain brownie points with the fans saying they'll let him rot in the reserves, but I wouldn't be surprised if the little leprechaun ain't quietly craeming himself at the prospect of having a nice big fat £50-60 million quid coming in to service that mahoosive debt he's built up!!!
I think if that was the case then the rest of the Premier league would be the ones creaming themselves!!
