Will Ron do one?
Professor Ralph Thornly-Jenkins gives us his views on the Ronaldo saga.
Will Ron do one, one wonders? One sincerely hopes so.
Bet on where Ronaldo will end up
All the talk in Manchester is about one man, the Portugeezer who almost single handedly guided United to last season’s double.
As Sir Kevin Keegan correctly observed the Premier League is a four-way quarrel between United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. The rest of the clubs are there just to make up the numbers, or in Derby’s case to improve goal difference.
United know just how important Ronaldo is to them, last term he scored an incredible 42 goals in all competitions from a midfield berth. United’s next best was Tevez’s tally of 19 and then Rooney’s total of 18. Elsewhere United’s combined tally from all quarters comes to a paltry 29 – and that’s in all competitions not just the Premier League.
The winker wants to wander off and frankly I don’t blame the boy. He’s far too good for the Premier League, so often erroneously described as the ‘best League in the world.’ What absolute piffle!
Ronaldo wants to play in Spain at some point, that much we know - but when? Sooner rather than later one hopes. Like all great players he wants to test himself against the world’s elite footballers not the overpaid cloggers in the Premier League.
Fergie has said the Glazer team would be prepared to sit Ron in the stands for a season if necessary but in reality that would never happen to any asset worth upwards of £70million, although in saying that I think I do have an early Van Gogh in the loft somewhere.
Even Goldenballs himself has entered the debate urging Ronaldo not to make the same mistakes as he has, a possible reference to that repulsive tattoo on the back of his neck perhaps.
Not only should Ron go I hereby propose David Nugent should be signed as his replacement to make the competition more open for each and all next season.
What do you think?

joerush in Croydon you are well off the the mark, the proff is spot on but he forgot about mentioning the idiots who pay there over inflated wages you bods who subscribe to SKY because without them/you there would be no foreigner in our game!! The only reason the foreign players are coming to the PM is for the money, thats were all the top leeches goes these days, because thats what they are, if the Italian League sudden has a rush of money to spend on them all of this lot here would be off, but don't forget at the same time they wouldn't want the likes of Cole, Terry, Ferdinand, Lampard etc etc etc, i wander why. oh while i'm at it, how come it is the best League in Europe when there are only 3 teams in it (i'm a Liverool supporter) if the whole of the PL competed for the top spot you coiuld call it the best in Europe!!
Should Ron do one?Yes -

you cannot deny ronaldo the chance to do what he wants because there is no loyalty in football these days. If he breaks a leg United won't stand by him for long. Look at the Sven situation!! I just wait for the day when the Russky pulls his money out of Chelsea. They won't take long to do the dirty on their staff
