WHile, Ronaldo is a transfer and obviously someone who has transfered in isn't going to have as much loyalty. I think it's unfair to say he is unloyal yet.
TIme will tell.

I'd agree with this. I don't see loyalty emanating from Ronaldo and I think a lot of that has to do with him being a foreign transfer. However, I think that there is some "cusp" down the line where someone becomes loyal to the club they're at (a certain age, certain amount of success, certain amount of fan support...etc). I see Cantona as a good example of this.
