Cristiano Ronaldo (I stay)

I assume at this point it's a question of if anyone will even give him a contract w/o us subsidizing his wages. Don't think we'll get a fee at all.

I find it absurd that we'd tolerate his disrespect and subsidize his wages. He wants to leave, so then HE can take a pay cut...willingly.
 
Still maintain his only option was Chelsea.
Remember the news he wanted out came a few days after Mendes met with Boehly. Now Tuchel has fecked him over he's in limbo and Mendes is scrambling.
I also think the only reason we won't release him/terminate his contract is because we suspect he wants to feck off to Chelsea.
 
To you guys who talk about MLS, is he even allowed in that country?

MLS isn’t just one country. He could join Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver. Only play home games and go on moose and polar bear hunting every other weekend.
 
Guy on Sky saying he does not think Ronaldo is going anywhere this window and I could well believe it.
 
Well the alternative, he sticks around stinks out the dressing room, saps the squad and fans of any sort of enthusiasm due to his petulance and we continue to be quite shit which invetiably costs us millions too?
He’s going to get £26 million to stay (and likely be a massive problem) anyway, isn’t he?
Stick him in the reserves / U18s for a year. Can’t think of anything better for him for a year.

I understand the sentiment but having him around the club doesnt help us improve this season unfortunately, his media circus will stir shit up and his aura will linger no matter what level we force him to play at, i'd sooner he got flirted and we move on from the ronaldo return car crash.
 
We should have froze him out and said you take that Saudi deal or you will not player a second of football this year.
 
If he stays he be 3rd choice behind Martial or Rashford for CF.

Could play league Cup games and odd EL games. Will he want to go in to the world Cup not playing alot? If he has a stinker of a world Cup, the club will be getting blamed.

I would like that. But we would look like right mugs if he goes to Chelsea for free.

At this point we're not getting a fee. And if he goes somewhere "on loan" it is to facilitate another player coming here (Osimhen). If he signs for Chelsea and we don't have to pay anything, it's Chelsea's problem.
 
Why doesnt CR forgo the wages? Isn’t he near a billion now?

If a proposed deal is 100 million plus Ronaldo I can understand United not going with it.
 
Id rather we just terminated his contracted, paid up and fecked him off than have his circus and drama impact the team for the remainder of the year.
Why should we pay up his contract when he is the one who wants out? If he is becoming a nuisance just fecking throw him out of the squad a la Mourinho on Schweinsteiger.
 
What he really means is leeches willing to go over Erik's head to stop money machine leaving
Tbf to the Glazers (and I fecking loathe them as it is), 100 million plus Ronaldo and paying his wages is taking the piss. It'll be monumentally stupid.
 
it would only make sense if it's a loan with a buy option for Osimhen. Doubt it'll happen, to put it mildly ... seems like Mendes is getting more and more desperate.
 
Guaranteed it would involve us footing wages
Still it’s a situation where we pay Osimhen wages plus a part of Ronaldo wages for a useful player instead of continuing to pay Ronaldo wages for a finished player.

For as long as a total of Osimhen wages + part of Ronaldo wages we cover is below full Ronaldo wage, it makes sense
 
Loan for us and transfer for them makes the most sense. Could Napoli afford £300k a week if they get us to cover Osimhen’s wages?
 
Why on earth would Napoli sign up to this?

Putting a class young striker on loan to sign up a pensioner that's probably a worse footballer at this stage?

Sounds like total bollocks.

If there's an obligation to buy next summer then it's not that much different than a normal structured deal tbf
 
I don't want Osimhen on loan. If he doesn't do anything for us then it'll have been a waste.

If he kills it then Napoli take him back (which they will because Ronaldo isn't getting any younger) then I will be sad.
