Yep and I allways find that retarded and hyoocritical. Looking after their careers is not something to hold against them, how they go about it is another matter.

It's the same thing, looking after their career wil always be looked at with how they do it and it will always be held against them by fans (most fans if you and a few others are the exceptions). Unless of course they choose the career of staying at one team for the major span of their playing time and become club legends.
Applaude the exceptions, but don't be illogical about the typical scenario. Plus easier being loyal to local clubs when you are the adored super star. But when you aren't from that country or even continent? Why expect automatic loyalty? When you can win more and get paid better elsewhere? That's why they joined from the get go, because you offered better opportunity then the club they came from.
there was. you claim to watch every football game there ever was, yet you trying to tell me you didnt notice anything between the 2 during the 2nd half of the 2008/09 season? if so, youre blind because one could tell as early as February/March that there is something going on and, knowing Fergusons nature, that Ronaldo might get sold. now you say Real is the biggiest club, but if you go a bit to the past you would see that they werent the biggiest club when Ronaldo was still in Manchester. United was the most popular club in the world probably, coming off 3 straight EPL titles, with a star stacked squad in a star stacked super league that was the EPL at that time with 4 of their top clubs reaching QF/SF almost exclusively. THAT was the league to be in back then, and United as the biggiest club among them, THE club to be at. they were the richest, most popular, most marketable and most successful club at that moment. saying it was Real (back then) is just ignoring facts. to show you how good they actually were, even after Ronaldo (and Tevez) left, United was one wonder goal from Robben away from reaching SF again (against Lyon so probably a 3rd straight final vs Inter) and were 1 point short to Ancelottis monster Chelsea team of winning another EPL title. the season after they won the league again and reached another CL final. Ronaldo, Tevez, Rooney, Berbatov, Nani, Giggs, Scholes, Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic..., people seem to forget how good United was at the time, and how good the EPL actually was. bringing up Bale, who left a much weaker EPL and turned down a much weaker United to a much stronger Real and La Liga is unfair. also, im not buying the childhood team talk. if Ronaldo went to Barcelona he would probably talk the same.

people just wont let it go

at people who thought they would rather sell Pogba in order to keep Vidal.
