Just looking at the Van Persie signing thread and it seemed like people was a lot more positive about it nobody mentioned brought up his rape accusations for example or attacking "fanboys" because they was positive.. and we have just signed a legitimate GOAT who is already a Legend at Manchester United so I don't get the negativity you'd expect more positivity especially having been starved off success for almost 10 years.. Ronny can defiantly have the same impact on this team if not bigger than Van Persie did that everyone jizzed over.. It's like some posters here resent Ronaldo getting all the positive headlines and attention for some reason even though it doesn't hurt them and Ronaldo's teammates are cool with it.. That's part of signing Ronaldo I'm afraid if you didn't want that Manchester United shouldn't have signed Ronaldo then.. it's the same for PSG with Messi but I bet the PSG fans are not complaining as the pros outweigh the cons. It'll be the same all about Ronaldo even if he was on the bench, but negative stories he's simply that big.. I'd rather positive ones with the club winning.
It's like the poster above.. this narrative agenda "we was going in the right direction anyway" so we was going to win trophies.. you could've said the same about Cantona before he joined. But that's not stopping people crediting him and putting him on a pedestal for being the catalyst is it? why do some posters have a problem with that if Ronaldo does the same? it's not hurting them is it? says more about them than Ronaldo.
Ronaldo has scored more penalties than Fernandes. Yes Fernandes has a better record but that's because he has only took like 42 penalties in his career, and he's only missed 3. Ronaldo has took 139 penalties in his career and missed just 28.. so all those people saying Fernandes should keep taking the penalties because he has a better record.. that's because he's took almost 100 penalties less than Ronaldo and in less pressure situations! if you take less penalties you'll more than likely have a better success rate.. So I hope Ronaldo gets the penalties as he's our main striker, he needs the confidence of them and the media/press are waiting for him to fail to hammer him you know the first game he doesn't score the knives will be out and he will get frustrated/lose confidence.. you wouldn't take Ruud Van Nistelrooy off penalties for Fernandes even if Fernandes has a better record.. even though Ruud Van Nistelrooy has took 52 penalties in his career and missed 13! that's a worse record than CR7 but Ruud took them as he was our main striker and needed the goals and confidence just like Ronaldo does now!
Ronaldo has took the penalties for the biggest clubs in the World in Real Madrid, Juve and Manchester United in his first spell. Aswell as Portugal. So he has the experience in pressure situations. He should take them for United.
