I'd give most everything I own to see him play again in the red and black. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Most everything. Some members believe he's done. There is still a 1% chance, and as much as I like to live on that 1%, it's getting more difficult by the minute. Members like you, me, arivanjj, gal kenny and to an extent R7 would love the day when Ronaldo comes back.

But I guess it depends a lot on Ronaldo and whether he wants to get back to the top. If God forbid, he doesn't, then that's that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) But being the champion he is, I'm sure there are a couple of more years left in him. Particularly now that he's recovering fast. A CL win maybe? Please, oh please.

In all respects, I liked Ronaldo and his abilities, but what he has done to himself is shocking and all the weight he gained certainly did not make management happy. I also fear that if he does come back to us, his injury could come back or at least he would be unfit for many matches.

I don't really like to say this, but I think he's past his best.

Considerably. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) He was out of this world, back in his days. Never saw anyone like him.

So he hasn't signed for Flamenco then??

He is still free agent

Would be nice to get him back. But the thing is, he'll sign up, and then we'll spend eternity bringing him back to fitness et al, it would be next season before he started contributing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

So then, this complicates stuff needlessly. I would still keep him. It's always a nice record, 10 years down the line to say the great Ronaldo played for you before he retired. Also it helps to have a striker like him, who's not too fit to play every match, but who if rested can be quite a potent weapon. Like Solskjaer for Man United. I don't think Ronaldo has disappeared as a player of quality as Rivaldo did. He's just fragile.

I want him back

Then we will have a striker who only get money and getting injured!

so be it.

Yeah, so be it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) If we can afford Inzaghi then we can always afford Ronaldo. He brings so much to the attack, it's almost like having a Maldini in your defense. Theoretically speaking of course. Deep down inside I still wish he could stay fit for longer periods of time.

Plus we can always cut down on his money. I'm sure CL victory is of more importance to him than a couple of millions. He already has over 120 million stacked up in the bank. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Sky Sports say he is "Seriously considering an offer from Man City at the moment and thinks it would be interesting linking up with Robinho as he believes they can score 50 goals". No Ronnie, Robinho doesn't have the ability to score 40 goals this season.

Ronaldo to City... interesting to see if he succeeds in Engand as well. I'm sure he will if he stays away from injuries. Elano-Robinho-Ronaldo would be interesting btw.

Apparently he failed a medical so City aren't going through with it.. what the hell did they expect, he's out until November! Having lots of money isn't going to change that.

A 100% Roanaldo that never gets injured can score 40 goals in a season. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Robinho can take care of the remaining 10. Having said that, I'd love to see him in Milan once again - not gonna happen, I know - but that never stopped a man from dreaming, has it?

He dragged us from double figure rankings to a comfortable 4th last season. More so, when every player in the team was concentrating on the Athens final. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) It's the injrues are the cause of concern, however. It's not like he's old or something, the same age as Sheva and Totti. Please Galliani bring him back.
