Dear Mr Ronaldo

Is he staying? Is he going?

Frankly, this incessant question is starting to get on my nerves. This never ending saga has been hogging the headlines since God knows when and I think everybody wants this to end asap. Almost all of the important head honchos in the footballing world have given their 2 cents worth and before you know it, Oprah will step in and have him on the show.

Seriously, how hard is it for you to come to a decision? How difficult is it to say a YES or a NO? Stop beating around the bush and start beating your own bush la. Even the SJIM is more decisive than you (Ok I take that back).

Don’t think we don’t know what you’re trying to do. You’re trying to play the good guy in this game. Play it cool. Play it diplomatic. More often than not, your responses have been vague and it has been intended that way for us to read in between the lines. What do you think we are some kind of football noobs?! It is so obvious now that you are masterminding your own plot out of Old Trafford. You are just not brave enough to say it because you are still afraid to face the repercussions and the backlash that comes along with it. Regardless of what happens, I don’t think you have scored any points with the Man U fans. You’ve not only disappointed them but infuriated them further with your antics. Ever heard of loyalty?

Will Man U miss you? Yes they will. You were only like the best player in EPL and the world last season. You only scored 42 goals and in Darren Fletcher, we have a player who can score 0.42 goals. So yes your presence will be missed. But no single player is bigger than the team and Man U has time and time again moved on after the departure of their superstars. I think it could be even a blessing in disguise for players waiting in your shadows. In fact, should this transfer happen, we can finally see a big big season from Wayne Rooney. It may even propel the team to greater heights. It is a team game after all.

So make your decision Mr Ronaldo and make it quick. Nothing’s going to be a surprise anymore.
