Yeah! That's exactly what I said and meant. Really?
The Cavani signing was different because the youngsters would still get plenty of minutes in the #9 position and he would not block an eventual top striker from coming here in a later window. Signing Ronaldo meant our up and coming attackers wouldn't get a sniff of minutes in that position and itr would block an eventual signing of a new young top striker as long as he is here, so yeah, there is a huge defference between the two signings. You can choose to look at it any way you want though, that's entirely up to you.
I haven't blaimed Ronaldo for anything either, I'm blaiming the people who signed him and decided to play him 90 minutes every week.
When we signed Ronaldo we had Greenwood, Cavani, Martial and Rashford to share minutes in the #9 position untill the right longterm striker became available.
Now Rashford has fallen off a cliff, Martial is off on loan to get more minutes and Cavani is unhappy with the situation (Greenwood can only blaim himself), while our sportsproject is coming crashing down in all tournaments.
Ronaldo is still a very good goalscorer and is still among the best in the business when it comes to positional awareness, making offensive runs and understanding what spaces to occupy to be available for service. The rest of his game, his defensive contribution (and as sick as it may sound, his finishing this season) is what makes our team bleed with him unfortunately. The rewards of his upsides does not trump the cost of his downsides and that will cost us till he's gone or fixes the weaknesses in his game. We have seen glimpses in some games, but not nearly enough.That simple really.
