If he's injured he won't be playing at all.

lets have a little bit of common sense here

Injured or not, it will be settled on the basis of whichever club he is registered with/employed by

Then why did the question say playing? I think this question should therefore be voided.

@keyeshoveden he will be playing being a ex football player i know how quick it is to get over injuries/and donal is dead to rights

Interesting view. I respect your opinion and think you have missed Donal's point.

Injured or not, Christiano Ronaldo currently PLAYS for Man Utd. If he moves to Real Madrid, he will be PLAYING for them.

I think PLAYs and PLAYING in this context implies that he is a member/employee of a particular team
posted 20 weeks ago

I don't think PLAYS means not plays because is injured. If you disagree ask for the question to be voided because the question does not say "is a member/employee of a particular team". It says plays.

@key - So, if he were to be injured preseason, how would you suggest the question settle? Seems that you are arguing that if he is injured then he is 'playing' for no one at all, right?

That#s my view. It's how I read the question to start with. Playing means being on the pitch sometime during the first EPL or equivilent other league at the start of the next season.

"I can say that Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Manchester United next year. We won't sell him,"
Manchester United FC coach Sir Alex Ferguson said during a press conference in Cape Town.

This is not the deffinitive decision. It will be premature to settle the question only based on statements of different persons. Some days ago Real president said the opposite - that Ronaldo for sure will be at Real. We need yet to wait and question unsuspended.

Question should be voided for ambiguity and a new one set up.

Keyes, if you don't like the question don't wager on it and don't come back to it. Donal has made it clear how the question will settle.

I'm not asking for a settlement or anything by posting this link. Just a little update on the sitation.

There is a load of ambiguity.

And Jake - who are you anyway?
