Where do you stand?
A. A fascinating tale that fully deserves full back page coverage during a major tournament and which has me on the edge of my seat awaiting the next instalment of will he, won't he.
OR
B. Just make your flipping mind up to go or stay. I couldn't give a monkey's either way.

Looks like tevez is thinking of walking aswell
can we have a C. Do u love seeing man u. in trouble and on the back foot for a change its fantastic :-)
Just accept that for a kid growing up in Portugal, playing for Madrid is the pinnacle of his career. Take the 60-70m and build again. No 1 player is bigger than the club.
I think Real are some way off the pace re European stuff is concerned, having said that go and watch them win it next season just to prove me wrong.
This is why they don't want to sell - but I don't think they have a choice now.
I agree that a move to madrid is strange if you're after trophies and you are already in a euro cup winning team....
But he wants out, Man U know it and are just posturing for more money.
Before they start moaning about Madrid illegally poaching him two words: Owen Hargreaves.
But he's going and BFR man Utd are posturing and will hol;d out for the most money they can get. I'd take 80million and purchase the Russian lad and 2 or 3 other players.
Make you about right- also the fact that his advisers will make a stack of cash from the transfer will have influenced them and therefore Ronaldo.
Have to say it ManU are a class act in getting the best from any deal and that, also, the Premiership will be a poorer place without him.
But hey ho- not CAFC relevant so not particularly bothered.......
You're obviously reading the wrong papers Henry.
And there's me thinking you were a Guardian man.
I think the domination of the English top 4 in Europe is echoing alarm bells around UEFA and the other top European clubs at the moment. I think it has finally dawned on them that the Champions League structure they have created, coupled with the Sky money, has created a monster. It certainly wasn't in the original remit for the English clubs to be the main beneficiaries of the commercial change we've seen in the last ten years.
There appears to be a collective mass effort now, from Real, Inter, AC etc to try and nip the English dominance in the bud now before it is too later.
Itys a double edged sword for most of us i suspect. Many i reckon loathe the premiership, and what it stands for and created, yet its nice seeing the world's best players on match of the day on a saturday night.
Something has to give, and i suspect UEFA are doing all they legally can to assist the other top clubs in nipping the English dominance now.
As for Ronaldo, its about money. Pure and simple. Earning £5-6m a year is great, until someone offers you £15m a year. Everyone has that little greed monster in them, its just greater in some than it is in others.
Shows what chance we have though, when the biggest club in the world can't even hold onto their best player.
No doubt means we'll get more money for Berbatov when he eventually goes in the next month or two...
I would agree that uefa are definately trying to do this, but the other top european clubs may have trouble doing so as being part of G14 with the english clubs probably means that they have to toe the 'party' line on things.
Can someone explain how this differs from the Ronaldo saga other than Man U have finally made a bid.
''Yes we are intresting in signing X player, not that the club have said we can talk to them yet but we thought we'd just let the player know''.
It's a joke, all summer he's been complaing about Real Madrid and then he comes out with that!
Man U put a bid in - the proper way. I guess what is being argued over with Berbatov are the fine details.
Real Madrid haven't yet bid for Ronaldo and appear to be tapping him up.
A far better example of Man U tapping a player up would be Owen Hargreaves.
