That's what Calderon has been saying publicy throughout the season though. Real Madrid and Barcelona do that all the time - in public they talk about respecting a player's contract but they have ways of sneakily going about their business and that's what Calderon will continue doing, mind games or not.

I don't think so in this instance. It's all opinions but at the end of the day if you and me can see that reporting Real Madrid is not going to do anything in terms of breaking the law than Fergie and co who have been around the block long enough know it too.

btw Real Madrid & Barca haven't been doing this all season. They've actually been very public about wanting Ronaldo but they haven't been doing anything sneakily. Hence why I believe Fergie has made a public remark to let them know they're going too far if they do anything underhand, and by Calderon's response I think Real Madrid have got the message.

I've seen it from them throughout the season, acting like the rumours in the media are nothing to do with them because they know the players are under contract. Real have done it a few times through the season, talking about how they were giving up on Ronaldo and how they knew Man Utd wouldn't sell him. A few months later you get this situation.

Obviously Calderon was going to respond like this, it looks and sounds good, but whatever Ferguson is worrying about isn't going to stop. Every season clubs talk about reporting Real Madrid and Barcelona but they keep doing what they do.

I don't think you understand, they have been saying this publicly throughout the season, but they've not done ANYTHING underhand or sneakily (as you suggested earlier) before now. The fact that Fergie's made this remark is precisely to let them know not to take it too far.

I think you're underestimating the relationship clubs like Real Madrid and United have especially behind the scenes and I doubt either would want to jeopardise that. It's like when a club like Sporting Lisbon tell us to lay off a player like Veloso, United aren't just going to shrug their shoulders and fck up a club relationship over 1 player, when the 2 clubs' relationship is more important than that long term.

I know we on this forum always look to the lowest common denominator on things like this, but the ppl and clubs involved are massively experienced professionals who are on another level when it comes to things like this.

No, I do understand - I'm just saying that IN MY OPINION, Real Madrid do this thing where they present one front to the media and carry on their business. They show interest, then cool it off, then show interest again.
I can't pretend to know about the relationship between the two clubs but whatever the relationship is, if Ferguson has felt pushed to issue a warning, somebody hasn't so far been that fussed about jeopardising it.

Still don't think you do tbh. You say Real Madrid present one front to the media and then carry on with their business but that's not the case here. All season they've been publicly saying they want Ronaldo. They've never hidden the fact they want him, and there's nothing underhand or sneaky about that. This is where YOUR OPINION seems to contradict itself :unsure: Calderon has now for the first time (following Fergie's threat) come out and said they won't do anything to ruin the two clubs' relationship. Fairly straight forward to me.

BTW you only need to look at past transfers to see why relationships between 2 clubs are important. It's up to Ronaldo IF and WHEN he wants to leave BUT IT'S UP TO FERGIE WHERE HE GOES. Last summer's transfer of Heinze should give you some idea of that. Real Madrid are fully aware that a number of clubs (not least their rivals Barcelona) would flock to buy Ronaldo B)

look, your opinion is straightforward. I just have a different one. You know as much as I do about what how Real Madrid will actually act from this point forward. We can all form opinions about it and talk about the relationship between the clubs and whatnot but all I'm saying is I don't think that whatever has pushed Ferguson to complain will stop where Ronaldo is concerned.

Unfortunately your opinion just doesn't make sense and its obvious from your response that even you can't explain it.

I'm not talking about Ronaldo going or where he'll end up, I'm just talking about Real Madrid's behaviour. The point about the relationship between the clubs so far is fair enough but I am just questioning if Real Madrid will, where Ronaldo is concerned, leave it there as Calderon's reaction suggests or push the issue a little more, that's all.

Well why didn't you say so :cheeky: :lol:

Yeah no-one knows what Calderon will come out with tomorrow, but as long as he's only saying and doing it publicly then I couldn't care less personally. Cos it's what you expect from them.

The important thing in this is what Ronaldo wants to do. It's well known he will leave for Spain one day, I expect it to be in a few years but at the end of the day if he wanted to leave now then fair enough, I'd be disappointed but the club moves on.

To be honest, I never considered the point about Ronaldo only going where Ferguson decides, but as long as he's talking about his dream of playing in Spain, Real will always live in hope. Although with them, he could tell them to straight fook off and they'd still live in hope :D

I suppose it doesn't matter much because I don't think Ronaldo is ready to leave yet anyway. Premiership players these days only seem to head to Spain if they're either failing miserably, fallen out with Ferguson (hehe) or over their best and ready to wind down their careers. Thierry <_<

Manchester United have threatened to bring FIFA into their dispute with Real Madrid over the latter's chase for the Portuguese megastar, which seems to have put an abrupt end to the unwanted - and they would say illegal - advances.

"You can't buy what the owner does not want to sell," Calderon was quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"Real Madrid are friends with Manchester United and we do not want to fall out with them."

Ronaldo has been at United for five years, and last season scored a remarkable 42 goals, as well as domestic and European medals and a host of individual accolades.


Just trying to get at Rondlo again :boring:
