Grandma Ronaldo hating on snr… this ain’t gonna end well.
Kasper as the other one said, then four players in the Norwegian National team are sons of former National team players:If anything I'd say the likelyhood of the son of a professional footballer making it is much higher that us regular folk making it. The amount of people that make it to the top leagues is already so tiny compared to the overall population, and considering a lot of active players today have fathers that played at the top level the percentage must be staggering in favour of the latter.
To add to the list:
Abedi Pelé with the Ayew brothers
Mazinho with Thiago and Rafinha
Danny Blind with Daley Blind
Patrick Kluivert with Justin Kluivert
Lillian Thuram with Marcus Thuram
Arnor Gudjohnsen with Eidur Gudjohnsen
Hamlet Mkhitaryan with Henrikh Mkhitaryan
Claudio Reyna with Gio Reyna
George Weah with Timothy Weah
Rory Delap with Liam Delap
Souleyman Sane with Leroy Sane
Apparently this Ronaldo is better than his dad according to his grandma.

I truly believe Ronaldo will end his career in Sporting.Ronaldo Jr. is very talented and outstanding for his age, still a long long way to go though, but I always thought Ronaldo may wait for his son debut to retire. Assume his son could debut as early as age 17, that will be 6 years from now (Ronaldo would be 42)
21-26 (age 36 to 41): Man Utd (assume he could manage to score around 30-40+ goals per seasons over the length of his current contract from 21-24, there's no reason for us not to extend his contract again on 1+1 until 26)
26-27 (age 41 to 42): Sporting? (will move back to Sporting for charity just to help his son, will retire after his son debut season who is about to turn age 17 by then)

From 00:35 - 00:42 you can see him pass the ball with one kick. What a great compilation that was.
You're right. Aint no Ronaldo's son if he doesn't do 10 step overs before touching the ball. Wouldn't surprise me if he's actually closest to Juan Mata than Ronaldo type of player.No stepovers? I am starting to doubt his parentage or is he just being rebellious teen?

For his mom for the club and because for his story and “PR” it would be perfect.
Would be a story book ending.
Maybe play a season with his son at Sporting as well.
Cesare won 4 serie A and a European cup. He was an extremely good Player as well.The Thurams, Kluiverts, just to add a couple.more names to the fray. Best duo for me has to be the Schmeichels though unless we're including Cesare Maldini's managerial achievements.

Bringing the thread back to Ronaldo Jnr, I heard he scored a well taken goal at lunch time today - but was then threatened with detention for trying a rainbow flick when 3-1 up.

Means nothing ultimately. As soon as Ronaldo leaves United his son will leave too.
His old man can pay the costs to get him out.He's contracted now, can't leave just like that.

Who’s this Gabriel lad we’ve signed along with him? A Brazilian youngster?
Whatever happened to that Australian lad we signed when he was 2 months old?
