Since Franco death Real Madrid has won more European Championships than Manchester United in their entire history, so drop the franco issue, that is a myth!

Real might want to make sure their insurance is up to date before giving him a club car.

We're all bored with this supposition. Please don't write about it anymore!

Tim, London, England

let him go man

he always wanted too and I think ManU were just too stubborn

Its a shame but it all stems from the treatment of A Cole ( just check goal to game ratio for Man U) and alas the terrible treatment of D Beckham

Sad to say Man Utd now is not the Theatre of Dreams....

roy, london,

Anyone else as fed up of hearing about this as I am? For goodness sake why cant he just go to Real and give us all peace!

ENR, London,

Since Franco's death titles won by Barca and Madrid have been pretty even 5 v 9 leagues 5 v 7 cups - 5 v 5 European trophies. Funny that. Maybe it was because they were no longer being told by the Franco's director of state security that they were only playing due to the generosity of the regime

Barca aren't even after the basket-case Juan. Did you see the way Messi destroyed Athletico the other day?

They don't need no show pony to set off fireworks.

Dan, Leamington,

Real Madrid has been declared the best club of the 20th century, remember it Mr Chatterjee. There is no comparision between Real Madrid vs Barca titles (it will be quite boring to explain it all), so it is logical that Cristiano Ronaldo prefers Real rather than Barca

Juan Antonio, Las Palmas, Spain

Jonners what are you talking about? One bad season doesn't mean that they are trailing in barcas wake. Underperforming side for years? They've been up at the top the whole time. slacking for one year isn't so bad. Man United are in the same boat as are arsenal but i'm sure they will bounce back.

Stuart, Northants, UK

This is really the never-ending saga of Cris and Real. The real reson why he wants to join real is because of the glamour. Nothing else. Real is the most underperforming side in the la Liga. I would have thought Barca would have been a better choice. They are much better than Real.

Jaideep Chatterjee, Calcutta, India

Florentino Perez are involve in a important economics problems by the global crisis, so, i think that this new coudn't be possible, by the way, Can CR play football in Real?? where the players positions are so right

Cristobal, Madrid, Spain

Real really are sad, as an underperforming side for some years now trailing in Barcas wake they haven't the talent or imagination to stake a claim in Europe so endlessly brief their pet press with rumours to deflect inadequcies. Obviously preparing for defeat by Liverpool with yet more hot air.
