		<description>Nawaf, great point mate.  He is turning into a media whore unfortunatly, great player great season definatly.

We probably should cash him now while his stock is as high as it would get.  If we could get three of four top players ideally one being Huntelaar then selling probably makes sense.

I loved watching him this season but I wuld rather see him go than Rooney.  I think we are kidding ourselves if we truly believe he wants to stay, cash in and lets move on.

We are United not Liverpool, we have never been reliant on on player.</description>

		<description>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 an unbelievable talent and you deserve all the credit in the world. So, I would like to reiterate MUFC&#039;s debt to you.

Speaking of debt, Ronaldo, and I know very well you might agree with what I&#039;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&#039;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.</description>
