Farewell Gerard, Selfish Rooney, EVDS to Play Till 40?

Tag: Manchester United News @ 10:10 am

Welcome back. We’re officially done with the 07/08 season and we’ll tread no man’s land for the next couple of months.

Thankfully, the Euros will provide for some distraction from the ennui that will surely descend on the summer. People will die — not from the heat, but from frantically refreshing news websites looking for the latest breaking news on transfers.

One of the primary culprits responsible for causing such excitement and expectation is the Mirror, who proudly claim that Manchester United want to spend £50m in 14 days. I think the nice gentlemen at the Mirror even know which player they plan to buy and for how much because they already seem to know so much about United’s transfer strategy, perhaps even before United knew anything of it. [Predictive journalism?]

Anyway, let this piece of news not distract us from something that actually happened: Gerard Pique moves to Barcelona. For £5m which, I think, is good business. I was impressed by the lad despite his being suspect on aerial balls. He was up against the best defensive partnership in Europe. So it’s not his fault really. Anyway, good luck to him at his home club.

Update: Pique’s even written an open letter to the fans. Nice touch, I thought.

In related news, Jonny Evans could be courted by Roy Keane to have him over for another season on loan. I think it’s a good idea to farm him out to Sunderland for a further six months. It would not be smart of the boss to sell even Evans now that we’ve sold Pique. We do have Silly and Brown who can deputise at centre back. But six months is not a bad idea, just to be safe.

The Sun quotes EVDS as saying he’ll play beyond 40, although he doesn’t say it himself in the quote. True to type from the solar tabloid, one would think.

Fabio Capello plans to play Rooney in a more familiar role of shadow striker. He advises Rooney to be more selfish — I can’t disagree.

Yes, United have threatened to report Real to FIFA. But I think it’s going to take a lot more than threats to tame a thick skinned beast like the Los Merengues. And rumours still refuse to die away. Sample this from the Mirror — whose praises have already been sung above — who reckon Fergie will fly over to Geneva (where the Portuguese players are currently training) to have face-to-face talks with Ronaldo in a bid to keep him at the club. They have even made the report sound perfectly credible with a wonderfully thought out title: Rondezvous. God bless the editor.

And we shall end this today with another one of Carrick’s words of wisdom: “Munich Inspired our Win.”

Indeed, hold on to that thought for today.

‘Tis all for the day. I’m off for now. Be good.

  • Real president Calderon has said – ” We are not trying to have contact with a player under contract to another club. THE DISPUTE IS BETWEEN THE PLAYER AND HIS CLUB!!!. ” Yet again doubts are thrown on Ronaldo’s position in this whole debacle. The club can BLAME Real all they want, but Ronaldo could have put this to bed long before now, but No, all we get is the double tongued talk from him. Fernando Torres IMMEDIATELY put to bed Chelsea’s attempts to court him, when he said I am not leaving L’Pool end of. Therein lies the difference between Ronnie the Man Utd heartless hypocrite, and players whose heart and soul are with the clubs they play for. I am sick and disgusted with Ronaldo’s messing about!.

  • I’m a bit sad to see Pique go, because I think he’s a major talent. However, he wouldn’t be a regular here the next 4 years, so why should he stay, and why should we want to keep him against his will (it’s an entirely different story with Ronaldo).

    Since there’s nothing much going on, allow me to start a “why and why not-should we sell Ronaldo”. Contribute if you like.

    Here are my contributions:

    Why: Cant’ think of any

    Why not:

    - He’s the best player in the world, still young and getting better.
    - A lot of our success is due to his game
    - We don’t need the money
    - He’s contracted for another 4 years

  • Ronnie is not exactly quashing any of the rumours linking him to Real. “It will all be sorting within the next two weeks” and “I don’t promise anything, even to my mother”.
    These comments don’t sound like a player 100% committed to to the club to me.

    He is in my book obviously courting Real, or an improved contract.

    God knows which but deep down I believe Real.

  • Stephen – and everyone else, because I think there is a common misunderstanding going around. At least imo.

    Ronaldo says that he can’t promise anything – not even to his mother. The latter part refers to him having promised his mon that one day he would play in Spain. So by saying, he doesn’t promise his mom anything, he actually says that he can’t promise, he’ll play in Spain.

    So there’s certainly some ambiguity in his statements, but he’s not saying, he wants to go to Real. Overinterpreting the latter part would mean that he would never go to Spain (that’s how rumours work the other way).

  • I agree.

    Ronaldo needs to step up and show some commitment to the club. We’re not asking him to swear undying loyalty and promise to be with the club forever. All we want to hear is that in the near future (i.e. next season) he’s going to be shivering his socks off at Old Trafford. :)

    I fully expect him to move to Spain sometime in his career – but this blatant courting of Real is unacceptable. I’ve read/watched all his interviews since the champions league final and in none of them does he convincingly state he’ll be at United next season.

    Maybe Ronnie thinks he’s done it all with United (I hope not!) and he wants new challenges in a different environment….hell I don’t know want he’s thinking….but if he’s not sure he wants to stay then fergie should make certain he doesn’t.

    This might be a bit harsh for a player who has been amazing for us in the last two seasons….but hey…i’m ranting!

  • An open letter to Ronaldo.

    Dear Ronaldo,

    At the outset, let me extend my deep gratitude on your outstanding service thus far to MUFC. The moments of sheer brilliance over the last few seasons are countless. You have, thus far, succeeded when everyone doubted you. You are a resilient fighter. You have wuthered numerous storms recently. You are an unbelievable talent and you deserve all the credit in the world. So, I would like to reiterate MUFC’s debt to you.

    Speaking of debt, Ronaldo, and I know very well you might agree with what I’m about to say, I think you also should be indebted whole heartdly to many a factor during your development as a professional football player at Old Trafford.

    Firstly to MUFC. Yes, to the club that bought you when you were a young boy and nurtured you to what you are today. The club gave you your status today. Lets be honest, Ronaldo, if you were still at Sporting Lisbon, I really cannot invasige your stature today as it is now. Now, you still might have been able to be the outstanding player you are at another big club, but honestly I cannot see another setting capable enough to make you the best player in the world in the span of four years.

    Secondly, to Sir Alex Ferguson. The man who single handedly protected you and defended you when you were public enemy number one as a result of Wayne Rooney’s sending off at the last World Cup. He picked you up when you most needed it. Sir Alex was so aware of the amount of heat he was going to recieve as a result of that, but instead he faced up to this challenge and embraced you. Now that, Ronaldo, is one hell of a debt.

    Thirdly, to the supporters of this great club. You probably realise by now that you are fast becoming a legend with the fans at the mere age of 23. An incredible feat that only a hand full of stars have succeeded in attaining. And believe you me, Ronaldo, this is not something easy to attain.

    Fourthly, to your fellow players. Never forget, nor deny, the tremendous amount of support every single player gave you. You would have never become the player you are today without your collegues on and off the pitch.

    The list goes on and on Ronaldo. One thing is certain though and that is no one knows what the future holds, as you rightly said in many ocassions when asked about your possible transfer to Real Madrid. So, if you ever decide to go, Ronaldo, I hope from the bottom of my heart that you keep these few humble thoughts in your mind and heart too.

    Ronaldo, I thought very hard on how to sum up this letter to you. I have squeezed every brain cell in that process. It took me at least two MINUTES. So instead of wishing you well at a new club if you ever decide to move on, I am going to end with this:

    Beckham, RVN, Heinze, are not missed at all.

    Goodluck.

    Sincerely,

    One hell of a devoted Manchester United Football Club fan.
    Nawaf, london

  • Good point Tomas, maybe he can’t promise his mother that one day he will play in Spain. It would be great if the Real Madrid issue could be cleared up before the Euro’s, as if he has a cracking competion the rumour mill will be on full pace afterwards.

    Also quite sorry to loose Pigue, especially as Fergie said under a week ago that he would not be selling anyone!! but thats football.

    I agree with Tomas on the nature of some of the comments. When he says “I dream to play in Spain some day, but all dreams don’t come true” it suggests that he may never go to Madrid too. I don’t know what the hell’s going on in his mind, but I think he would be a fool to leave now.

  • Fergie’s a massive hypocrite on this one, but then that’s never stopped him before. Love the man as we do, we’d be blind not to see similarties between this situation and some we’ve had in the past. Hargo is the obvious one, but there have been others (his Benzema comments were interesting…). Whatever, it’s part of the game. United are playing hardball to try to make Real look like a circus, not because they’re right. If they can convince Ronnie that Real are more about personalities than football, and point out the number of truly successful young players to develop there then hopefully they can get him to stay in Manchester for footballing reasons. That’s their goal.

    I’m looking forward to tonight’s England friendly, just to see how Rooney operates in his formerly familiar/widely accepted as best support striker role. If he plays superbly wiht Dean Ashton, what are the odds of a cheeky bid I wonder…

    Am enjoying the media circus that is Chelsea at the moment, but they’ll be back, probably with a superb coach next season. Should be interesting.

    Re: Frazier Cambpell – he apparently had a wonderful year at Hull, and is very young, therefore I’d like to see him at least get a chance.
    Re: Danny Wellbeck – again, had a great year with the reserves, but the jump up to United first XI is a big one, and he doesn’t appear quite ready. That said I hope we keep him or loan him out, as he does look quite good and it would be bl**dy wonderful to have a homegrown player in our squad for a change!

    So here’s a fundamental question for you: If we have £50m to spend, should we spend it all? Or should we try to pay back some of the loan? For example, say we sell off a few players, and raise maybe £15m (Thinking Pique, Silvestre, Saha and a few youth/reserves) should we turn this straight around into the debt? So that one day we’ll be debt free? Or should we continue to play with the big boys in the transfer market? If we do, then what is the point of ‘buying young’?

    Personally I’m of the belief that we need a strong striker, someone to lead the line and provide an aerial threat. If you consider that we have Brown for matches requiring tight D at RB, and Hargo for other matches, perhaps we don’t need a pricey RB at all, and should give Gary and Simmo a chance. CMF we should be fine, wings we should be fine barring multiple injuries and up front is covered.

    My point is, we could flash out £20m on a striker such as Huntelaar, and use the rest to pay off some of the debts, moving us towards actual financial stability. Thoughts?

  • Probably the most sensible option Beachryan, but unlikely. I think winning the CL we are now very high profile and an attractive proposition to players (not saying we weren’t anyway).

    Maybe we should invest again but like you do believe Huntelaar would be a great signing.

  • DRed, No mate, I don’t believe it is just Real M that are stoking up these things alone. Ronaldo every other interview is banging on about it’s my dream to play in Spain. Did you ever hear him once say “I am at my dream club Manchester United?.” He has had every opportunity to make it PLAIN, that he loves Man Utd, and he has no intention of leaving. We have developed in Ronaldo, club officials and fans alike, AN EGO THE SIZE OF ANTARCTICA AND AS COLD TOO, as far as his attitude to our beloved club goes. I am losing all respect for Fergie, because what other player has ever been allowed to hold United over a barrell, and out to dry as Ronaldo is doing, and not being disciplined for it AND PUT IN HIS PLACE. This has never happened before. Is Fergie going soft?. Ronnie should be told TO PUT UP AND SHUT UP. He really is making an idiot of Manchester UNited in almost all his double edged interviews, in front of the whole world. He deserves every lousy rant he gets on this blog, because he has been loved to the extreme by the United faithful, and he shits all over our club with his comments. Feck off Ronaldo!!!. I’m feckin sick of you!.

    Nawaf, love your open letter mate!. Please do print it off, put it in an envelope, and send it to Ronaldo – care of Old Trafford football club. I have sent letters to Giggsy and Fergie, and they always get them, and I got kind replies.

  • Stephen has the hit the nail on the head. The thing is, Beachryan, we are high on everyones list for having won the Champions League. People like Micah Richards, who openly admired Arsenal, might be tempted to join us. Now is the right time to finish off all the team preparations for many years to come. Im off the opinion that this might be the last busy summer we might see for some time. Of Course that also depends on Ronaldo…

  • Crain MC. I think its partly to do with the fact that Ronnie never brings his attitude problems to the pitch. He gives his 100%. I also disagree. We have bought a Portugese with full knowledge that he’d want to go to Spain one day. We all knew this was coming. ronaldo will never say United is my dream club. But just enjoy while he is here and win as many as we can. We can rebuild once he is gone.

  • Dan; We did tap up Hargreaves slightly. The difference here is that Hargreaves was 100% committed to leaving, Ronaldo is just craving the attention. We said we wanted to buy Hargreaves in public, Bayern said that he isn’t for sale. Then Hargreaves comes out and says “I want to leave Bayern” and that is where most of the tapping up allegations come from. We don’t know what went on behind the scenes, if anything. About Spurs, they actually did want Ramsey before us.

    Regarding the whole Ronaldo issue, for now since Ronaldo has done very little wrong imo, all that matters to me is what he does on the pitch.

  • Utsav, thanks for your comments mate, but I don’t agree with your philosophy on things!. If the case is, that Portuguese players will only come here to Old Trafford, to be developed into some of the best players in the world, and with a view to moving onto Spain when they become so, THEN DON’T BUY ANY MORE PORTUGUESE PLAYERS!. You have stated the same philosophy as Schuster at Madrid, that Man Utd trained Ronaldo into the best in the world doing a great job FOR MADRID!. For feck’s sake, have we become a feckin feeder club all of a sudden?. If Ronaldo plays for us next season, I won’t be drooling at the mouth, shouting my bleeding head off for him and his every move. I find it hard to enjoy watching people who like Ronaldo are just using us as a make piece for his greater ambitions. No way will my Salford mates and I be enjoying watching him next season. And I hope our other lads, who are Man Utd thru and thru, will have FAR, FAR BETTER SEASON than big head Ronaldo. Sorry Utsav mate, I am not shouting and swearing at you, but livid with Ronaldo and his “I ONLY LOVE RONNIE” outlook.

    If he has his heart set on a move the he should go. His stock is very high and he could and will command a very high fee. Being realistic he won’t score the goals he did this season again, so maybe to cash in on him would be for the best, especially if he does not want to be at the club which to be honest made him.

    Fergie stuck by him when he had problems not just during the world cup but also with Ruud, who was sold ironically to Real!!

  • Craig, i have no problems with your contradicting views. Neither do i have a problem with your screams and cursing. I can totally understand us fans concern. I have my friends who are frusttrated with his dilly dallying. The reason why i had a bit of non chalance in my write up was because im confident of 1 thing. United has made him. Without United, he is nothing. He will be no more than a robinho or a Sniejder in Spain who are good but not the great that United has made Ronaldo. Our play revolves around 2-3 players including Ronaldo. In a years time even that problem will be solved once his replacement is set. So let him go, if he wants to. Atleast he helped us fulfill our UCL ambitions.
    Also, WE ARE NOT A FEEDER and thats for sure. but we do have some retirement homes for our players benefits. Sunderland, Real Madrid.. All retirement homes.

    -> He is at incredible heights and the transfer fees that he is linked to are outrageous. You never know if next season he will be as good and will command as much money. We would be pulling a Wenger if that will be the case.

    -> Hopefully he will not deflate like Ronaldinho did after his double. But if he does than United are heading in one direction: second place.

    -> Real make a bloody good offer and by that I mean two of Robinho, Casillas and Ramos plus money. If they actually make that offer and Ferguson refuses I would be pissed at him, not Real Madird.

  • Andrie; I agree with your third point. Casillas and Ramos for Ronaldo would be a deal I’d be perfectly happy with, or one of them and £30m. While it is fair to say he may not have as good a season next season, he is a lot younger than Ronaldinho so I still think he has 2 more years before he peaks, which is really frightening. I have one more reason:

    -> If Real get him, the chances are they will win the league. When they win the league, we win the league. It’s a win-win situation. :)

    Dan; You seem annoyed at me? :? We did tap him up, that is the truth. Real Madrid have taken it to a whole other level and have every chance of getting away with it, but we tapped up Hargreaves a bit. Real Madrid talk about Ronaldo as if they have already bought him.

  • Hey guys, looks like even a defender review has turned into a Ronaldo discussion :) . Seriously though, I am getting fed up with his constant attention seeking. If he is indeed doing this for the pay hike, why is he playing it out in the media.
    I remember Fergie saying something like: if Ronaldo gets 30 goals in the league, I will have to give him a hike. He said this wen Ronaldo reached 30 goals in all competitions. So, I guess Fergie needs to keep his word, but then ronaldo playing this out in the media is not wats expected out of a united player and I would be surprised if fergie’s hair dryer will not be dispatched to the portugal euro training camp soon with written instructions to scolari on how to use it ;) .

    Coming to the striker situation, what do you guys think abt robbie keane. he is strong, a good leader and professional, pacy, and can be both a fox in the box type poacher and a creative player. he not that old too at 27. fergie was rumoured to be looking for a experienced striker, and apparently had keane on his radar a few times earlier.

  • 1. This is a business, and you can’t blame ronaldo for wanting to be among the highest paid players in the world. He has worked his ass off and he deserves to be rewarded.

    2. How long did ronaldo tell the press that he was happy at united? All fucking year! It was even reported on this site that ronaldo was getting sick and tired of answering the same dumb questions. Dont get mad at him now because he is angling for a new contract.

    3 at this point in time real Madrid are a step down from united. Madrid are nowhere close to competing for the champions league, and this united team is poised to be a force in Europe for atleast the next 3 years. The same can’t be said for Madrid.

    4. We dont need the money, so please shut up about the debt. How many of you owe the bank money for your house? I bet most of you own a house that is worth 6-7 times your salary. But does that make you financially unstable? Then why do people think united are in trouble, when the glazers could buy out the debt tommorow? In the end it would be bad business to buy a billion dollar club in cash.
