No doubt he was a great striker in his heyday. One of the best, if not THE best in the World.

But hes gone off the rails recently, and on top of his injuries, I think hes finished.

Your thoughts on Ronaldo?

one of the worlds best ever strikers, that night at OT when he was playing for Real Madrid he was amazing, it's one of the great idividual performances you will ever see, we were no mugs either but he just tore us apart time and time again, people forget how physically powerful he was at that time but he was so quick aswell, my favourite player of all time :) shame the way it's comming to an end for him though ay

Yeah he was class that night Drew.

He got a standing ovation from our fans I believe.
he did indeed mate, and for the comment above, i do believe he's realeased frpm his AC Milan as from some time in July ? if this is true it would say he'll return to Brazil and play for the team he has aways supported, which i think is Flamengo ... he has always said he wants the end his career there, im just concerned he could be another Gazza, or worse ...

I thought that when we sold Van Nistelrooy to Madrid, we should have asked for Ronaldo.

I know he was overweight and about 30 at the time, but I think he would have been worth the risk, and if anyone could get him back to what he was, it would be Sir Alex.

What a player!

I've been a huge fan of his, ever since i first saw him. One of the greatest strikers ever, and an absolute Legend. I was watching videos of him yesterday, and i was reminded just how ridiculously good he was. He was on a whole other level compared to everyone else.

Even if he retires now, he has accomplished everything in Football, a footballer could ever achieve. But i really do hope he plays again.

It angers me when people call him fat or say bad things about him. He is a legend and he deserves the utmost respect. :mad:

He should be remembered for his footballing skill, not what he does in his private life.

Regardless of his personality and behaviour, he was a fantastic player.

Watch and not for the United goals, but Ronaldo's. Old Trafford gave him a standing ovation after his third goal.




It's actually very very painful viewing! How did we let that slip that year? Answer: The first leg!

it's sad in my opinion, like Gazza and Ronaldinho he was a United player that never was, by this i mean their the type of who we'd of loved to have seen here at OT, but sadly they slipped through the net, these 3 would have gone down to be legends had they come to United ... it's a shame i think all 3 will regret not comming to United in the end, and all us United fans would of had great joy watchin these 3. Oh well there will always be others :)
