Andrew 4274 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Like Beckham is to adidas, C.Ronaldo is to Nike. Can't see Nike being to happy that images of their poster boy are going to be spread across the world wearing an adidas shirt. since he's probably one of the most sought after endorsees in the world at the moment I'm sure he won't be to bothered if nike dropped him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26811 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Ronaldo wants 'dream' Real move Cristiano Ronaldo says he hopes to "complete his dream" of moving to Real Madrid, despite Manchester United insisting he is "not for sale". The European champions said on Friday: "We are not listening to offers." But the Portugal winger, 23, has signalled his intention to "take advantage of a great opportunity". "Everybody knows what I want but things don't only depend on me," he said. "I am not the person who decides but I hope to complete my dream." Ronaldo stated that he made up his mind before the Champions League final that he wanted to leave United for Real. And he revealed that Luiz Felipe Scolari, about to take over at Chelsea after Portugal's exit from Euro 2008, advised him to make the move. "It is a dream, a step forward," Ronaldo replied when asked about the prospect of playing at the Bernabau. "For me, it is a great opportunity and, as Scolari says, that train passes by only once and we have to take advantage of it." Ronaldo indicated he will make a public statement about his plans over the next few days. He said he had not spoken to Sir Alex Ferguson, who is on holiday in France, during his participation in Euro 2008. And he insisted he is not worried about upsetting the United manager, who he is set to meet for talks about his future following Portugal's exit against Germany on Thursday. "It is my opinion," added Ronaldo. "That is why I don't mind if people get upset. It is my decision. It is what I want." The midfielder was in scintillating form throughout the domestic season and scored 42 goals as United clinched a Premier League and Champions League double. United have already reported Real Madrid to world governing body Fifa over their public courtship of Ronaldo, although the organisation decided to take no formal action. However, Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has admitted it would be a great coup to land the player but insisted the transfer is far from a done deal. "As we have already said many times, it is a problem between Manchester United and the player," Calderon told Spanish sports daily AS. "If the two resolve this situation and Manchester United want to call us then we will be happy and delighted with them because Cristiano is a great player. "We can't say anything more, we only talk about our own footballers and Cristiano is Manchester United's." Ronaldo's possible transfer fee has been put at between £50m and £80m. "United might make a stand for a period of time," agent Phil Smith told BBC Radio 5 Live. "But clearly you don't want to destroy the atmosphere at the football club." Ronaldo revealed after Portugal's 3-2 defeat by Germany that he requires surgery on a foot injury that has been bothering him for three months. "I'm going to have an operation now," confirmed the winger. "I have had a small problem for about three months. I'll have the operation and then have a good recovery period." What a complete and utter prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a complete and utter prick. Why United should let this ego walk off to Madrid Ronaldo's sound bites have become increasingly strategic, as if he thinks we cannot see what he is doing Daniel Taylor June 21, 2008 12:54 AM First of all a little story to tell you what kind of man we are talking about. It is January 9, 2008, and in an upstairs room at Manchester United's training ground five elderly men in smart blazers are struggling with their emotions in front of a hushed audience. It is the club's media day building up to the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster and Sir Bobby Charlton's polite smile does not hide the fact he is trembling as he takes his seat. Bill Foulkes is straight-backed and dignified but only a couple of questions have been asked before the tears appear in his eyes and he reaches for a glass of water. In an adjacent room Wayne Rooney has agreed to offer a modern-day perspective of that seminal day when 23 people, including eight members of Sir Matt Busby's team, were killed in the wreckage of the burnt-out BEA Elizabethan. It is not his specialist subject but he handles the occasion with dignity and more eloquence than some people might imagine. But then Cristiano Ronaldo comes through the double doors and the mood is broken. He is wearing a white suit jacket and ripped jeans, looking every bit the boy-band hunk, but it is very obvious he is in a bad mood. He begins by berating Karen Shotbolt, the club's press officer, because he is waiting for Rooney and the event has over-run. He is banging his watch with his hand, flapping his arms and gesturing in the way that Portuguese footballers usually reserve for fussy referees and, at first, he is so animated it appears as if it might be a wind-up. When he flounces back through the doors, cursing loudly, it is very obvious he is being deadly serious. Rooney is professional enough to carry on with his tribute but the attention is no longer exclusively on him. Thirty seconds later Ronaldo appears again, first rapping his forefinger against the glass in the door, then opening it by a fraction and starting to whistle at Rooney in the way that a farmer beckons his sheepdog. It was such an unpleasant scene the journalists decided not to write about it because we had been invited to the training ground to cover a far more important subject and, when you have sat with men as noble as Charlton, Foulkes, Albert Scanlon, Harry Gregg and Kenny Morgans and seen the hurt in their eyes, it felt incongruous to veer off-track. But coming away from Carrington that day it was difficult not to wonder what had become of the pimply teenager with the braces on his teeth who had been photographed, in his first few weeks as a United player, holding hands with his mother, Dolores, as they crossed a busy Manchester street. The answer, of course, is that Ronaldo has fallen in love with his own reflection and, as United are currently finding out, that ego is in danger of spiralling out of control. Nor, sadly, is this story a one-off. One member of staff at Old Trafford reports being shocked by his rudeness when sorting out his travel arrangements for a club trip last season. And then there was last season's Football Writers' Association's annual dinner when, with barely any notice, its player of the year demanded that space was made for five of his friends to attend and that he would like them all to be on the top table with him. He got his way, as superstars often do, but the organisers were unimpressed, to say the least. This is not to say that Ronaldo is all bad. He won a court case against the Sun earlier this week after it was reported that he had been fined for breaking club rules by using his phone during training: a story that was obvious baloney to anyone who has followed the player's career. Ronaldo, in many ways, is the consummate professional when it comes to improving himself on the pitch. He is not a man for nightclubs or raucous evenings out among the Manchester glitterati and there is something deeply impressive about the way he has come from his humble beginnings, growing up in Madeira in a house so small the washing machine was on the roof, to become the most penetrative attacking footballer in the world. And yet United's more loyal and thoughtful supporters would by now be entitled to think it would be better for Sir Alex Ferguson and the Glazer family to end this shabby saga and let the previously unthinkable happen. To them, his constant prevaricating about his future, his flirting with the Spanish media and his apparent disregard for Manchester United, must smack of a man who has started to think he is bigger than the club. His sound bites have become increasingly strategic, as if he thinks we cannot see what he is doing, yet nobody will have been surprised that the sweat had barely dried on his brow after Portugal's defeat by Germany on Thursday before he had re-iterated his desire to leave Old Trafford - just as Real Madrid had requested. United insist they will not allow themselves to be bullied into a corner but, when a player is acting like this and would so obviously be resentful and unsettled if he is denied the transfer he craves, the question should be: what is the point in keeping him?
