People underestimate how well Madrid create for him.
We are not that well oiled to get the best out of Ronaldo.

Christiano Ronaldo - NO current rumors

I mean Ronaldo is 33 years old. At that age a player can lose his edge at any given moment and a good management acts before that happens instead of reacting after his value and their season is ruined. I'm won't speculate whether or not Ronaldo is at that point yet, but selling and replacing him is something Real will no doubt think long and hard about every summer.
I’d believe the reports closer to 300k, which would be around what we made back by releasing Zlatan. This makes sense no?
Or do you believe we’d pay about 100% more than our other top earners? It doesn’t make sense. 600k.. really? The likes of Pogba would be going crazy
Like everyone else I have no idea what he's paid. Another report said the 300000 a week was nett. As long as he takes us up a level that's all that matters
That's basically four players you've banked on as world class starters for 5+ years. Also around 70 goals worth, just for this season, disappearing from your forward line. I don't see Hazard and Dybala making up that difference.
One day they will be right
Definitely this. Looks like there are people who actually believe that he scores all the goals all by himself and will replicate that wherever he goes
No he won't.
he will never come back
Hopefully.
I think real will offload bale and benz, put Ronaldo as ST and buy hazard for the LW.
Mo Salah's the man Real should buy.
Ronaldo has scored 40 of those 70 goals so this is not good enough from Benzema and Bale. Modric's legs have gone. We need to act before next season becomes a tragedy (or comedy if you are a Barca fan).
But what if that money is also spent on a center back (to concede fewer) and a replacement box to box midfielder (to screen better). We need Ronaldo to hit 40 goals because we concede 20 useless goals (assuming we need to win 2-1 on average).
Also with Hazard and Dybala it is less likely that we will need to center our tactics around Ronaldo. We can spread out attacks and responsibilities better.

Even broken clocks are right twice a day.
I'd rather cash in when he still has some value for a younger set of good players. The last 2 seasons, he has played poorly for the first third of the season.
It should not happen that next season he plays poorly for the first half of the season. Then we may not even have a chance in the Champions League.

The team strategy is not centered around making Marcelo/Kroos/etc. perform to their peak. This team strategy is centered around making Ronaldo perform at his peak (rightly so).
The team strategy is to get the ball to Ronaldo in the most dangerous areas. Hence, I will obviously hold Ronaldo to a higher standard. Ronaldo's age, wages and partial decline means that this may be the last opportunity to sell him and fund a replacement.
The Juventus match proved that this is an ageing team who have now become stagnant due to a lack of fresh blood stepping up. We need to have a massive clearout of the BBC, James and Modric. We need to have a summer as big as Summer 2009 when Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema, etc. were signed. We need to purchase a top class center back, wide forward, center forward and box to box midfielder. We need to Make Real Madrid Great Again !!!
What are you on about? How can you say your game plan isn't centered around Marcelo or Kroos when statistically they have the ball most out of your entire team. Marcelo literally has the license to do what he wants on the pitch which is why he is able to shine.
Honestly Real Madrid fans are funny. They will spend their time blaming the only player responsible for taking them to this level in recent times. You literally bought bale to replace ronaldo but he has outlived the guy who was supposed to replace him. It will be funny seeing your team being brought down to earth when you realise no player can replace the impact ronaldo has.
Ronaldo won't join United whilst Jose is the coach, if he does come back to England it will be with Chelsea
I'd say its 50/50. They create a lot but he is unbelievably good movement wise and has the physical attributes to get on yhe end of crosses and passes other players can't.
He woudn't come back to Engalnd if it wasn't with United. I believe he and Jose have mended fences since their blow up in his last year at Madrid.
Why are you lot discussing this?
You do understand you are 3 games away from winning 4 of the last 5 Champions Leagues?
I agree you need new blood but that doesn't mean you have to destroy everything that's good about this team. You'd sell Modric and Ronaldo to try to find an adequate replacement that simply does not exist, it makes no sense.
We’ll see. I would put a very good bet on it being Chelsea IF he leaves Real.
He's not leaving Real this summerbut not sure why he would join Chelsea, unless he has burgeoning desire to play in London.
Do you know something we don't?
Why would he go to a club not in the CL ? What would be in it for him ?
Money and location. Wouldn’t come back to Utd whilst Jose is in charge, wouldn’t go to City/Liverpool out of respect for Utd.
Spurs couldn’t afford him, Chelsea could
If he ever leaves Madrid, it will be for the MLS and that is only a possibility from 2021 onwards.
In that case whey wouldn't he come back to United ? Its his preferred club, we are in the CL and we pay more than any other club.
Do you honestly think Ronaldo, in the twilight of his career when he will be looking to score as many CL goals as possible and break as many CL records to boot, will be happy slumming it in the EL while Messi might be tearing it up in the CL? Not a chance.
However, I agree with you on one thing. Ronaldo is a selfish player, and one thing I have respected him for is that he is honest about it. He likes United, but only for what we have done for him, and it is a rather selfish attachment on his part. Unlike the fans who still rave about him, he wouldn't think twice about joining Chelsea if they offered him a better platform and wages. Maybe he might balk at joining City or Liverpool due to respect for SAF, but he wouldn't mind joining any of the other rival clubs if they were in a better position than us. Ronaldo's most important thing in life is himself, everything else comes later.
Yeah, that post makes no sense at all and even if people believe Ronaldo is declining his output in UCL and second half of the league has been outstanding. Don't know what he's on about to want him sold. So he's either a Barcelona fan or someone pretending to be a Real Madrid fan, maybe for comedy purposes.
I'd like him back but knowing Real would ask for Old trafford's worth when they realise it's woody on the phone and not wanting to subsidise their upcoming rebuild is enough reason to pass
Right on time
This boat sailed a few years ago
I've already answered that - because he wouldn't play for Jose
Interesting that if you take a look at SkyBet, Ronaldo is 1/10 to stay at Real BUT who is the shortest-priced club if he where to leave? Chelsea. Don't you think that's strange when he hasn't been linked there by the Press or has any connection to the club?
Is it contract renegotiation time again?
His goal output would be nothing of what it is at Madrid. He'd likely sulk. Not for me that time has been and passed now sadly
That is a lot of assumptions on your part @Kapardin. There is another side of the coin and Ronaldo may not want to ruin his legacy at this stage of his career as he’s absolutely adored at OT and I’m sure he will be acutely aware of that or his advisers will make him aware of this. Even when he retires he will have a massive profile world wide from United and Real and will still be able to cash in on it and rightly so. Where as he might get what another 3 years contract with Chelsea taking him to 36/37 when he could if he wants to move that is, move to perhaps if he wanted to any top club of his choice around the globe.
I would say the chances of him joining a European side who aren't in the UCL next season are zero. No matter how many zeros Chelsea or anyone else offers him.
Cash in would be a stretch. How much do you think a 33 yr old Ronaldo would cost? 20 million?
He would cost a very good goalkeeper.
Indeed.
Providing Ronaldo keeps himself in shape, his decline should be slow.
Of course, if he goes out boozing, smokes cigarettes and doesn't look after himself, his performance will fall off a cliff (like was saw with Rooney).
Romero would definitely be up for going to RealEven at his age he is simply too valuble to Madrid, its a non story.
