Yes, EVERYONE knows him.
He's grabbing 99.9% of the sporting headlines right now, thanks to his fickle-mindedness of either moving to Real Madrid or staying out at Manchester United.
After such a successful season at MU, it's hard to find a reason why would he want to leave to Real. It there is any, it would be the transfer fee offered by Real.
A WHOPPING 80 PLUS MILLION EUROS (YET TO PLUS HIS WEEKLY WAGES)
I as a MU fan myself, would never think he worths THAT much for a player. Yes he won numerous awards and football trophies last season, but that doesn't make him the world's most expensive player.
Here's the scenario.
Just today, Chelsea rejected an offer for its midfield lynchpin Frank Lampard $7.95 million pounds offered by Inter Milan who just had Jose Mourinho aka "The Special One" as manager.
So if Frank Lampard were to be sold at that price next time, it means
Ronaldo = 11 Lampards? =S
Oh please this is nonsensical. It truly is, based on the nonsensical offers by a lot of football clubs today, who would do anything just to land the world's best players. This trend was used to be set by none other than Real Madrid, who bombed their bank accounts to land just one or two players every year. Now such trend spreads contagiously =S
Now is this scenario good or bad for the integrity of football?
To me, one thing good about all this that it helps to boost the commercial ability of football around the world. No doubt football is a popular sport, but one may forget its origins.
One fine example of a player worth the money is this legend.

Emm not in this sense lol
Okay never mind the picture. Eric Cantona, a core member of the double-winning MU team back in the early 90's, was transferred from Leeds United to MU for around $1.2 million. To a club like Real Madrid, $1.2 million is like nothing to them, but when they see the goals he scored and skills he was blessed with, I'm not really sure how much they will fork out for this player if Cantona is like Ronaldo's age right now.

At the end of the video, you'll see how much power he can put on the ball lol.
Now the days are gone. The average of the price for an outstanding player like Arshavin, the new Russian revelation in Euro 08, costs easily around $40 million. And very rarely now that you'll find a player like Ryan Giggs who can stay at MU for as long as 13 years.
Loyalty you say?
Fernando Torres used to inspire me with his words saying that he wants to go on and become an Anfield legend, snubbing Roman Abrahimovic's offer of $80 million. Good one and may your words long continue.
