Have only heard the dressing room stuff become an issue this season after he’s played with the bunch of babies in the team. Past teammates have had nothing but good to say about him.
Cristiano Ronaldo (I stay)

By accounts the likes of Maguire, Shaw, Rashford and other academy players also have a massive ego and snapped back when being questioned/given advice by him.
He's exposed how terrible the rest of the squad are if anything. He did his job and scored a load of goals last season. We're now facing a season with Martial up front, who by the way was desperate to leave until no one wanted him.
Rio is yet another unhelpful git. Putting players above the club - that is something that has to end immediately under the new manager/board.
The club is the focus. The manager is the leader of the club and sets the tone for everything.
The players must falls into line. Doesn't matter if they are called Ronaldo.

How does he fit in perfectly? He’s essentially a goal poacher that doesn’t press, rarely gets involved in the build up and can’t really interchange with the other forwards. We just got rid of a problem like that.
If we sign him, Boehly might as well come out and admit it’s a commercial business decision and not a footballing one.
I could see him scoring good number of goals. Reece James would probably love having Ronaldo on the end of his crosses but I think the bad outweighs the good I’m afraid. Plus believe it or not, he would be a wildly unpopular transfer with the fans.
Ronaldo was going to sign for City last season had it not been for a intervention from a couple of former player and SAF.
If it didnt bother Ronaldo, especially moving to local rival, why should it bother us.
Just don't understand the fawning over the guy.

You've bought into the media propaganda then. A strikers job is to score goals. He'll get at least 35 for you in my opinion, but cant believe we'd be stupid enough to let it happen.
Why ?
Exactly. It’s nonsense to think that Ronaldo is even comparable to fecking Lakaka. Maybe he doesn’t press but he NEVER did. He would score a ton of goals with the correct service.
A mixture of things. The main ones I’ve seen mentioned are the case he had against him in the US and also just the fact that he’s a 37 year old who is stylistically the opposite of the kind of striker we want/need.
I disagree. A striker job is more than just scoring goals. You can’t be a hindrance to the way your team wants to play. This version of Ronaldo isn’t the kind of striker I want in my team.
Nkuku to play up top and score 25? You’re delusional.
RIP our beautiful club.
He scored 20 in the league last season, rarely playing as an out and out striker
No, it isn't. A striker's job is to help the team score goals. He most significantly does so by scoring goals himself, but it isn't the extent of his role or responsibility.
Read the last part of your post again.
Have to agree. The "we're man utd" gig doesn't apply when the squad is riddled with sub-standard, egotistical, pampered brats and we are no way near competing for anything. Ronaldo would be leaving for greener pastures.
Might as well close the club, last man to turn of the light.
Man, I'd love it if Chelsea started adopting that Woodward-esque outlook to signings.
If this one doesn't work, make another statement signing. And another and another.
Hazard returning would be like our Ronnie return, right?
The absolute scenes when he realises the only way they’ll win it is to bench him
I can't see us selling him to a "competitor".
"I have graced you with my presence. Carry me on a palanquin to CL glory, peasants."
Oh dear. I bet Chelsea fans are thrilled with their new boss's first signature signing and the display of raw football acumen it presents, if this should come to pass.
His first signing will be Sterling.
It would be a Glazer 101 move, so maybe there's hope
Yes Todd think of the sweet, sweet commercial upside. Think of your ego. Think of the sponsors. (Don't think about football). Please do it.
Wouldn't it be funny if he fecks off Tuchel by doing this 
I see Ronaldo the same way I see De Gea tbh. Their fans will tell you they’re simply doing their job while ignoring even the slightest bit of critical thinking.
I think he'll do fine at Chelsea, aslong as others do the running for him.
Good. Will be someone else's problem to solve. He can act as a sports director somewhere else.
They won’t be if he’s starting.
Of course he is; or more precisely with the fact that now about 10 players have equalled his CL tally.
I can cos we are idiots and we'll probably just hand him over
Don’t think so really. If they want to play a pressing game as Tuchel presumably does then they can’t simply have someone “do the running for him”, it’s got to be everyone.
As a Chelsea fan, if you gave me the choice between signing a proper right winger to play in a front 3 with Havertz and Sterling or sign Ronaldo I’d take the right winger 10 times out of 10. But the market for top class wide players that we can sign is rapidly diminishing by the looks of it. Raphinha and Dembele off the table, no links to a Gnabry etc.
I think this is perhaps the only way Tuchel will agree to any Ronaldo move. Because a long term solution isn’t possible this window.
