Cristiano Ronaldo

[aliyid]

Juventus barely scraped top 4 in italy last year having won the title for the past 9 years the thinking is largely that its down to them having to play a system solely to suit Ronaldo hence Allegri was more than happy to move him on. He will clearly bang plenty of goals but united were already doing that so this could go either way masterstroke or massive distraction.

Add in the drama of Ronaldo vs Bruno for penalty duties and you can quite easily see where cracks may start appearing.

This is not the Ronaldo of peak Madrid years and even towards the end at Madrid he wasn’t the force he used to be (remember the last time we faced them and he was a passenger for most of the game)

Are there any reports out that as to where he might go?

I’m not excited about rivals getting stronger, I want the sport to be entertaining. We’re talking about one of the the best players of all time coming back to the PL, IMO the best athlete to have played the game. Like I said I’m a fan of football not just a Spurs fan, but each to there own.

I hear you mate. Think I'm the same & why I would've liked someone to have been able to bring Messi to the PL. I don't really bother with anything outside of THFC, but there's some players you just want to watch because they're just so fucking pleasing on the eye.

Ronaldo is one of those players, so him returning to the league is nothing but positive, in my opinion.

And then there's the glorious thought that the rat faced fucker known as Fernandes probably spent the entirety of last night weeping into his pillow because he's just lost about 98% of his output because of losing dead ball responsibilities.

Welcome back Cristiano ?

I heard a little birdie tell me he might go to United. Keep it under your hat though, because it's a secret.

I was out on the piss when this happened yesterday so I’ve only just realised how bat shit crazy this is. It’s like us last summer getting bale back in but on a larger scale. I’m not fan of Man U but similarly to bale it’s nice for their fans.

The point still stands though. He's not "over the hill" by any stretch. Keeps himself in amazing physical condition to allow him to continue playing at the top level at his age.

I want to hate the **** but it's fucking impossible.

We should put in a 1M bid for Cavani so CR7 can get his no 7 shirt back. Win Win for everyone.

Interesting how Utd have paid £12m (+6 add ons) for Ronaldo and structured payments over 5 years, despite being on a 2+1 contract. I think this goes to show the way transfers really happen and it would be good if this sort of detail was more readily available as even the cash cows like Utd are only paying c£4m a year for a £20m player. It makes sense that clubs arrange these steady income flows yet we all get excited about having cash available upfront for a payment, reality is clubs are balancing the money dripping in with that going out and this, while making the clubs income more sustainable does, make it tricky to make deals in the window when you dont have the guarantee of commercial/competition revenue that the likes of Utd do.
