If you have followed my blog, you would have read about the recent feud between Sir Alex and Ramon Calderon of Real Madrid

Well Sir Alex didn’t take long to respond and here is what the Scot had to say
 
“Calderon has a few strange things to say every week,” smiled the United boss.
“There is a lot of hot air comes out of that man.”

“I am not getting involved but the nub of it is he is very disappointed he did not get Ronaldo.”
“I am delighted to say he is still here and I will keep repeating that.”

I thought it was very clever of Sir Alex, hit them where it hurts, because its true at the end of the day we have Ronaldo.

And it’s not about “Ronaldo” it could have been about any player, the point I think Sir Alex was trying to make was that he [Sir Alex] had his way.

Sir Alex revealed his theory as to why Real Madrid bought Gabriel Heinze, Sir Alex claimed  “When we sold Gabriel Heinze to Real Madrid we knew it was going to happen, because Ronaldo is very close to Heinze,”
 
“I knew what they were doing. I don’t believe they were interested in Heinze – good player though he is. The endgame was to get Ronaldo.”

“What made it really obscene was that Madrid, as General Franco’s club, had a history of being able to get whatever they wanted, before democracy came to Spain.”

In an attempt to “ignore” Sir Alex, the Spaniard added more fuel to the fire.

“I’m not going to waste any time answering him: I admire his record, but he is getting old,”  Calderon said.

He’s getting old? Look who’s talking!

The Real Madrid president is full of shit! When speaking about the Cristiano Ronaldo situation, Ramon Calderon contradicts himself every time he opens his mouth.  Don’t believe me, here is just a small timeline of his remarks.

June 24th  -  “We are very happy with the declaration of the player [that he wants to join Real]. But it does not depend on him, it depends on United,”
June 28th  -  “Madrid cannot do anything (to get Ronaldo) if Manchester do not want to sell their player.”
July 6th -  “They (United) don’t want to sell so we can’t do anything.”

After acknowledging United had the final say, Calderon contradicts himself…

July 7th  -  “It depends on the player, on Ronaldo. Since I’ve known football it has been the case that the desires of the footballer are what decide matters.”
“If Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester, he’ll leave. If he wants to stay, he’ll stay.”

Wait, I thought it depended on Manchester United.
Just shut up already Calderon!

The only person more contradicting then Calderon, could quite possibly be Ronaldo himself.

Calderon argues “We are talking about the best player in the world, who has won consecutive Premier League titles and could have won the Champions League as well by next week. If he is looking for the next challenge, then it can only come by leaving England and there could be no club better to go to after leaving Old Trafford than Real Madrid.”

Ronaldo is well aware of the price tag to obtain his services, and even with such an astronomical number Ronaldo told MUTV “I’m at the right club, playing with the right players and I learn things all the time,”
