We just set up a permanent training ground in Iberia somewhere, especially for Ronaldo. Have him train there all week and fly him for weekend game. Throw David De Gea in too. And any future Latin/Hispanic players we sign.

At Manchester United we care.
 
Mindboggling to think anyone would not want him doing what he does here, especially when you consider our sputtering attack throughout the year.

We could have had him 5 years ago. It was close by all accounts.

Well when I say 'could' obviously that's wrong but something happened. Maybe Sir Alex leaving or Moyes taking charge. I mean, if I was Ronaldo I be telling Woodward to piss off if I had to see Moyes everyday in training. Bad enough for him that it rains most of the time.

Thing is it seems like he needs plenty going around for him to get to top form which we don't seem like a team to be able to provide that platform.

I meant it seems like he became slow(er) starter each passed season. Even Madrid suffered in La Liga this season, when the whole team ain't performing and Ronaldo was still in warming up stage. Imagine us with Ronaldo doing the same while we struggle more with creativity.

That is certainly true, but also likely applies to any top player that plays in our system.

He is never coming back for sure, we had our time ( and what great days they were)
I was very impressed by his speed and sharpness last night, what a great player he is.

If I were an oppo fan, I’d mock this forum for bumping this and all the other Ronaldo threads when he has a world class performance. We need to move on. He’s gone, y’all. He’s been gone.

nothing wrong with appreciating greatness, especially one that was one of our best players ever.

messi's threads get upped regularly too when he does something wonderful. we are football fans man.
 
An admittedly impressive overhead kick hasn’t changed my opinion about paying over £100m for a 30-something, no.
 
Earlier this season I said no, that'll learn me to ever doubt him
 
Not again, he can feck right off.

He's not even close to what we need. he's turning up the CL only these last couple of years. and this is without talking about the fact that he fecked right off before hitting his prime, i wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole.

Is he still good ? yes, of course he is.

Is there another player that would give us the same thing without the circus CR would bring, yes there is. let's concentrate on those.
 
The question is irrelevant, he wont come back here, at least not when he still has a lot to offer.

No player in the world can do what a Ronaldo has been doing the last few years. Messi arguably, but that’s it.

Who else can bring us what he could?

Dont think people meant he is shit. He obviously had a bad patch, compared to his previous years he was underwhelming. But Zidane managed him well and gives him rests. Cristiano also seems to have find a way of coming out of that bad period. People like to exaggerate
 
We would end up paying £30-40 million more than we sold him for and he would want £700000 a week as he would want significantly more than the £600000 a week Sanchez gets. And we all know he wouldn't play anywhere near the performance level under mourinhos tactics
 
I'd take him, if he agreed to MLS retirement wages, and we could get him for at most 10 million transfer fee.

1.5 2 million per year, and 10 million transfer. Done, sign him up. That's not going to happen, he is going to want a league record type wages, and Real Madrid is gonna want like 70 million + MINIMUM. For someone who is clearly beginning to decline. No, pass.
 
I'd happily sell Ronaldo for 50 million euros at the end of the season.
We should not get too attached to a 33 year old who was missing for the first one-third of the season. It could get worse next season.

This summer ideally:
OUT: Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema, Modric, James
IN: Dybala, Hazard, Eriksen, Skriniar

GK: Navas, Casilla
RB: Carvajal, Nacho
LB: Marcelo, Theo
CB: Ramos, Skriniar, Varane, Vallejo
DM: Casemiro, Llorente
CM: Kroos, Kovacic, Ceballos
AM: Isco, Eriksen
WF: Hazard, Asensio, Vazquez
ST: Dybala

In Zidane's system, we don't really need more than 1 pure striker. Our forwards need to be able to play wide also.

You don’t want Ronaldo’s 40 odd goals then? Doesn’t sound like a crap season.

Come home Ronnie.

We can replace Ronaldo with more quality around the pitch.
It is not unthinkable that Ronaldo goes from 40 goals to maybe 20 goals next season.

All the big sides have a main goalscorer, that side you've suggested seems to lack one.

Hazard will flop at rm. He won't be worth the fee that chelsea would demand.

You'd be better buying salah tbh.

You'd also need to buy lewa or kane when you sell ronnie. They are the only strikers out there worth signing.

Dybala is more a 10 like erikson, not a lead the line player

Do you really believe we’re payin Sanchez 600k a week or anywhere close to it?
 
Ronaldo has at least 2 seasons of 40+ goals in him.

This is an opinion and not a fact. My opinion differs.
Hazard: Creative wide forward
Asensio: Goal scoring wide forward
Vazquez: Crossing wide forward
These players add different dimensions to attack.
Salah would bring in no skill set different to Asensio.

Dybala can play across the line. We need a forward who can drop deep, play wide and is a goal scorer.
Lewandowski can hold the ball up but would not suit Zidane's demand for fluidity.
For example,against Juve Zidane started with a 4-3-1-2 and in the second half changed it to 4-4-2.
A key reason for this is Isco's ability to play wide and in the center.

I think Eriksen would make a great replacement for Modric.

He went missing during the first one-third of the season.
That's why we are behind Barca by 15 points.

I'd rather sell Ronaldo now when his stock is high to improve both defense and midfield.
Due to the poor succession planning in Summer 2017, we have to have a big summer with major ins and outs.

Then do you want Zidane, Marcelo, Kroos and others sold too? Real Madrid fans never cease to amaze me here. Selling Cristiano Ronaldo for 50 million euros this summer is about the stupidest thing Real Madrid can do and it will obviously never happen.

You should be behind if you rely on one player.

Im only going on what the tabloids are saying one example above as thats all anyone can go on. How much do you reckon hes on then?

José Mourinho is pushing Manchester United to sign Alexis Sánchez in time for him to make his debut against Burnley on Saturday in a deal in which the Arsenal attacker would earn up to £450,000 a week.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/...rn-450k-a-week-at-manchester-united-kphdcpncd

The proposed Sanchez transfer is most lucrative for the player, on a salary of £350,000 per week, and his agent on a fee of around £12million.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/footbal...zs-deal-eyewatering-could-become-norm-ageing/

The Chile forward has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract at Old Trafford worth an estimated £350,000 a week, while Mkhitaryan is now contracted to Arsenal until 2021 having left United only 18 months after joining from Borussia Dortmund for £27m.

https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...nal-alexis-sanchez-henrikh-mkhitaryan-verdict

While United were willing to pay agents’ fees that City (and clubs like Chelsea and Bayern Munich wouldn’t), sources close to the Old Trafford hierarchy dispute some ideas about the figures. They say Sanchez will be paid on par with Paul Pogba at around £300,000 week, for obvious diplomatic reasons, and that the signing-on fee was not £20m.

FFS not the Sanchez wages bullshit again. It's the same story we've seen a thousand times with the idiots we call UK sports journalists.

The actual likely figure of around £300,000 was massively inflated after some moron randomly decided it was the figure after tax, which it never is in the PL, and so invented the £600,000 nonsense.

Similar happened with the Memphis transfer fee, where the fee in € wasn't converted into £ they just changed the currency symbol so it was higher. Then in turn that incorrectly inflated figure was "converted" back into € to make it look even higher.
 
IF he comes back one day, surely will destroy Rooney's record of 253 goals with us.
5 years contract 135 goals :lol:

he will never come back :(
