Ruud Van Nistelrooy

[Rio's Back Pocket]

What's everyone think then?

I think his United day's are over. #nono#

[ramesh]

I also think his days with us are over. I'll be so dissapointed to see him go though, he's been a legend for us, and to see him go in these circumstances really hurts.

[7even]

I think it hurts us all deep down, whether we’re showing it or not. He’s been a loyal servant for us and his goals record speaks for its self. Though it’s always the case with united, big stars can’t just leave, something always does happen.

[Scott]

Yep, he's a goner, surely. And he's only got himself to blame.

[gatorade]

hes out

[schmeichel1]

I think Ruud's gone alright. I was listening to him on the radio today saying how he wasn't allowed play in the Keane game and you could tell that he feels he's on the way out.

I think he'll use the World Cup to show his ability to potential buyers.

Never have i read so much "Fergie cock sucking bullshit" in my life. Talk about "No one is bigger than the club" well that apply's to the manager as well

"I like the way he dealt with the Stamm, Beckham, Keano thing!"

"WTF!" Just for the record, Stamm jad just won a treble and was probably the world best centre half, then Fergie sold him and brought in a 38 year old cart horse in Lauren Blanc who had literally retired from football. Mater stroke.

How many trebles or doubles or leagues have we won since Beckham was jibbed???

And as for Keane getting the sack. It was hardly a stroke of genius to get rid of our most commited player and inspirational leader whilst on the brink of our first ever euro exit in the group stages to the weakest european group we'd ever had. And as a result we was promptly made a laughing stock of in front of the rest of europe.

And now our record breaking striker and prems top scorer up until a few weeks ago has now been despatched all because Fergie did'nt like the fact that he backed Roy Keane in his despute with Fergie. He's brought us inprecedented success of which i'm sure we're all eternally greatfull. His latest action of a power crazed looney is the last as far as i'm concerned. He's doing nothing now but turning more and more fans against him, and their disstrust of him is fully justified. He is neither bigger than the club, but should either stop his tyranical ways or walk away straight away.

He's lost it, and with him causing such upheavel at the club our chances of catching Chelsea are Zero.

Thanks Alex, but we'd prefer it if you took your petty little tiffs elsewhere.

rumour around ot as to why it happened!!

Ronnie has been quite greedy in the past week in training, Ruud took exception to this and has had a go at ronaldo. this happened earlier in the season too and ronaldo took the brunt of what happened that time, so ronnie learning from his reaction last time walks away. To which Ruud snaps at ronnie "thats it go run to daddy" I think he meant fergie but ruud knows only too well at the beginning of the season Ronaldo lost his father who he was very close to when he died from a heart attack.

dont get me wrong i love ruud and everything hes done for us but when there is something or someone causing problems at utd they have to go.

[Rebel Devil]

You cross the boss and you're gone. Unfortunately, I think thats there more chance of hell freezing over than Riid and Fergie making up.

Shame really as i fear that this is going to over shadow our search for top notch midfield reinforcements.

If we're perfectly honest we're playing catch up to Chelsea and it seems a shame that the one area in which we're markedly superior to them, ie: strikers, is going to be depleted.

Rooney is top class obviously and Saha has shown his qualities in the second half of the season but is anyone confident that he'll last a whole season without getting at least one serious injury? Rossi looks really good but probably not enough to rely on for a whole season and our other two strikers - Ole and Smithy are battling long term injuries.

If rumours of a deal for Torres are true then all well and good but personally I can't see Ruud wanting to go to Athletico Madrid as the makeweight.

Torres, Diarra/Mascherano type, bring on David Jones and possibly find an exciting winger ala Lennon and i'd be reasonably happy come August.

Apparently Ruud meant Queiroz. I agree that it was an awful thing to say, but I've been saying to other people that somtimes when people are wound up, they say things without realising they have a 'double meaning'. Yes, Ruud knows Ronaldo's Dad died earlier in the year, but he might have forgotten in the heat of the moment and therefore not realised the significance of what he was saying. I mean, Ruud is a nice guy, and it's just so unlike him to say something like that. I can't believe that he would say that if he'd realised. It's just not what he's like at all.

No doubt it´s time for him to leave. Had his brilliant moments, and deserves the credit. Pretty much soured on him though after he let that uspeakable monstrosity, Martin Keown, smack him around upon squandering that penalty against the cunts. Hated seeing that. Time to play in Italy, Ruud.

I´m a fan of Saha, anyway.
