Feel for Ten Hag.
Take a paycut you arse.
He can have a run out in Europa league games when the first team players will need some rest. It’s not the Messi case where he has given the club all his best years to demand the club to offset any salary difference, this summer has been a huge reality check for him and his die hard followers on here.
What a plucky underdog, only 5 signings and 200m spent. Proper hard done by.
Seems to be Mendes who's pushing this one. We do need to ship Ronaldo off and we do need a 9. This is could be ideal but if Napoli were desperate to get Ronaldo they'd just do straight loan swap. The obligation clause seems to be a carrot waved in front of them. That said Ronaldo would put Napoli on the world map. I suspect the deal would have to suit us a tad more for it to happen.
More the fact that he's stuck with this tosser.
If he stays it's better it's happened this way, rather than us forcing him.
A nice reality check for him, and he can have no complaints or sympathy if he spends most of the season on the bench.

It's likely going to be 2 more years. He has that option, after all, and why wouldn't he pull it, seeing that it's basically retirement for him after this gig
We have that option, not him
Next summer will be funny as hell...nobody wants him
Because I rate Oshimen, so its good from my point of view
Would be a bit annoyed if he stayed now. Don't need the pointless drama.
No doubt the daft twat will find a way to blame the club if he doesn't get a move, when the reality is no one is interested in him. It should be a humbling reality check, but it probably won't be
If he stays and we manage to get CL spot next year Glazers will give him contract extension
I don't think he particularly cares, he shown he's willing to drop him and carry on without him and been significantly backed in his position. Sure he wants him to be replaced, but this is quite a fleeting issue in the big picture and I expect Ten Hag to outlast Ronaldo.
I genuinely think we'll do well without him and then it won't matter. Also if he fancies coming on and scoring a few goals, that will be welcome too.
If he doesn't want to take a pay cut or he doesn't want to press. How does he think anybody would want him not just this summer but any other transfer window
The reality is that we have no money left to replace him, Auba doesn't want to come here and Depay is shite.
Don't get?
Been saying this.
I want him gone as he’s such a circus and won’t fit the system and is just not worth the hassle (unlike when he wanted out last time). But if we send him away on loan and pay his wages I’ll be pissed. Rather keep him here in the squad.
Well he did inherit a squad bloated and rotten to it´s core and a petulant manchild on 500k/w with all the crap that comes with it.
I hope to see him stamp his authority on this club and these problems.
Replacement or not, he'd still be better gone imo.
I think we need to separate Ronaldo’s exit from Ronaldo’s replacement.
If Memphis is available for ~€10m, then it’d be silly to not bring him in regardless of Ronaldo going or staying. He might not be the best for EtH, but he gives us some assurance up top, provides depth, can play a variety of positions and means we’re not so reliant on Ronaldo. It also means we’re not breaking the bank to get him in.
Ronaldo leaving is a separate issue and the ball is in his court. He either needs to bite the bullet and drop his wage demands to a point where a club takes a punt on him, or accept he will have a minimal role this season.
It doesn’t make any sense to be locked into any agreement for Osimhen at this stage. The striker market could be vastly different next summer. In any case, if we do make a marquee signing next summer then there’s no reason it can’t be Osimhen.
For me, this year is a free hit / transitional year for EtH. Top 4, Europa and deep run in the cups are gettable targets. Let’s get someone like Memphis in and then see where we are next summer.

I just think he'll kick up a stink that will linger throughout the season. His antics are a distraction that we don't need. I hope he won't have a detrimental effect on the pitch, even if he isn't involved.
How good is osimhen?
If we were to bid for him without the ronaldo issue what do you think we’d bid?

I’ve already mentioned in the Frenkie thread that it’ll be Ronnie and Donny to Chelsea, De Jong and Depay to United. We just need to will it into reality.
Believe.
If all Ronaldo cares about is his legacy and CL goals, why not go play for free somewhere? He has generations of wealth now. He doesn't need one more season of wages, he'll probably make even more from sponsorships when retired.
I think he's been backed to the hilt and pretty much moved on without Ronaldo, he also had a whole pre-season without him. I think if he was being forced to play him, I'd feel sorry for him, but I see Ronaldo going further down the pecking order with Anthony coming in.
Agreed and I think he's done that. The Ronaldo issue is solely of Ronaldo's making (causing and being unable to resolve) and the whole team is moving on without him.
Personally, I don't see it. He can't truly expect to be sold to Chelsea, that's pure desperation on his part and when the windows closed, he'll just have to get on with it.
My theory on that is he associates wage with status. Highest earner equals most valuable asset. Don't think his ego could stomach being paid less than his team mates
If he's not happy hopefully he goes
Hopefully we pay no or minimal proportion of his wages
And hopefully wherever he goes he scores no cl goals

Or too much less than Messi's getting at PSG ...
ETH will be pestered with Ronaldo questions throughout the season. Pundits will be lating into pur players like never before after any bad game that Ronnie doesn't start. It's a sideshow the club does not need.
I stay
So presumably he doesn’t value his CL legacy all that highly then
what’s the point in having all that money if you can’t use it to trade away to get something you want, crazy
I clean.
Don’t think he suit Chelsea at all with their pressing system. But they do need a goalscorer so there might still be a chance of this happening.
would have thought Todd Boehly would snap our hand off for him tbh. Would be a huge statement for the new ownership, regardless of whether he’ll have the impact on the pitch they want.
