You do know this is Cristiano Ronaldo we're talking about? Second best player in the world? If fecking Harry kane can score 31 goals for Tottenham, Ronaldo can sure as hell score 50 goals a season wherever he goes.
True. The kind of bullshit which gets posted on caf in Ronaldo-hate, I doubt we will see it even on Barca forums.There is no way any club would sanction this move bar a sugar daddy club.
I won't mind being called fanboi of a player scoring 50+ goals for 5-6 seasons on trot and having United linked to him(add to that his United past).
Hate? All @akash02 has done is correctly point that Ronaldo has pro[re?]gressed his game to the extent where he predominantly requires the service and creativity to come from others. Something that we have completely struggled with this season. Expecting him to come into our current set up and score 40+ goals is odd. Thankfully it'll never happen though.
Ronaldo is one of those players who makes chances on his own and always gets off 5-6 shots a game at least. His pace, movement and pretty much everything would guarantee a lot more chances and a lot more goals.
Are you trying to tell me that creativity wasn't an issue this season? You can list names all you please but it doesn't change the fact that - as past it as they are - Falcao and van Persie, and Rooney by extension were starved of chances for a majority of the season. Memphis, creative support? He's a lot like Mata in that he is a clinical goal threat that you'd expect on the end of chances and not to be creating them.
Who is saying all he does is score tap ins? Him requiring others to create chances for him predominantly =\= him being a 'tap in merchant'. We shouldn't be doing 'all we can' to sign a player who is outrageously self absorbed in a side where the manager has consistently bellowed on about how the system is first and the individual is second. His current style of play doesn't fit here, regardless of how good he is or isn't. It's the same issue Di Maria has had this season, and he's far less rigid in his style of play.
Which is exactly what he did with Di Maria and it hindered both parties for a whole season. Van Gaal is not infallible, we can all miss out the logistics and practicalities when things get a bit fantasy like this.
It's difficult for me to explain, but it is the statement in it and my opinion that he does not fit with were we are going, and that is the team over individuals.
He chose to leave us and we shouldn't be on our knees begging him to come back, you could say if he were on a free transfer and he choose us, yes then i would take him, but not at those prices currently thrown around.
I could easily change my mind if it happened and he won us lots of trophies of course, but at this moment i wouldn't be for it, luckily it is not up to me i guess
Except that Bale isn't half the player Ronaldo is. He might get better but I doubt he'll reach Ronaldo's levels of prolificacy.
Bale has his best years still to come. I'm pretty sure Ronaldo has already hit his.
(not this summer obviously) but we could afford it.Yeah but his best won't surpass Ronaldo's best. Unless he dramatically improves his technical side of the game, he'll always be a couple of levels below Ronaldo. He'll be comparable to the likes of world class players like Hazard, Reus but he'll never be mentioned during the debates for the GOAT.
