It's not the most sensible economic move, but I'd love to see him back. I would absolutely love it. It won't happen though.
No way should we be going anywhere near this.
The guy's been a brilliant player but he's 32 now and must be on the decline. Plus he's got this tax case hanging over him (although he'll end up getting a fine and a suspended sentence, as Messi has).
Even at his age he'd cost £60m in today's market, so if we bought him we'd have allowed Real to have him for his peak years for a net fee of £20m. I know we've done a lot of daft things recently but this would be the ultimate cock-up.
Let PSG or one of the other plastic clubs take him. We're better off concentrating on young, up-and-coming players who could one day emulate Ronaldo. The ship has sailed on the real thing.
This 32 year old guarantees you more than 40 goals a season. That's 80 goals in two seasons, worst case scenario. Take a look around at how many strikers could score more than 80 in three seasons..How much would anybody pay for a 32 year old, it'll be an incredible short-term signing, but it's not without risk for the price he'll likely fetch. £80m?
What is better value? 180m for a 32 year old Ronaldo or 100m for Lukaku?

That's my feeling.A week ago(before the new about the taxes)As and some another newspapers wrote that Madrid would receive a big offer,so maybe he/the club already knew it before was published or maybe it's simply a coincidence.
He can be angry since Florentino ordered his friends in the press to separate Madrid and Cristiano when writing about taxes
Yup - we're gonna bring him home by tractor.Could sponsors help out it is such an arrangement just a football myth?
He's almost 50 FFS! No way the fee is that much.
If you get 2 years of cris, it's a no brainer. All that difference in money, you make up with image rights and trophiesWhat is better value? 180m for a 32 year old Ronaldo or 100m for Lukaku?
I can see what is going to happen a mile off. Ed will get excited, pull out of the Morota deal and go after Ronaldo. Morota will go elsewhere, and Ronaldo will get his pay rise while we are left scratching our fecking heads and wiping our tears. feck off.
It probably ins't a pay rise he's after considering he has a contract until 2021, but he most likely knows he was lose his 14m tax fraud case and is angling at Madrid paying it.
Sign him and win PL/CL double. You've already made money out of the deal, on top of trophies32.
Signing him doesn't make any financial sense whatsoever.

There are few things in life that are worse value than Lukaku for 100m.What is better value? 180m for a 32 year old Ronaldo or 100m for Lukaku?
Thought he was an attacking midfielder?That's OK. I read yesterday we are linked to Talisca and wiki tells me that he can play as forward too.
Yeah but wiki has forward as his alternate position. Who am I to question wiki?Thought he was an attacking midfielder?
The reporter is a senior marca editor (english) and obviously other reports by A bola.
The club has him locked down to a 4 yr contract and it would look terrible if they are seen to be compensating him for evading taxes. I know Ronaldo is throwing a tantrum but the tax case has nothing to do with the club so, there's nothing he can achieve by getting the club on his side.He has a tax case pending and the article says he's angry at being used as an example.
The only way he believes that is if he's been living under a rock these past few years.
Imo, this is a veiled threat to get the club on his side and be prepared to compensate him if he loses anything.
Last weekDidn't Messi just sign a new contract?
Like I suspected, he feels the tax issue is the club fault as it concerns his image rights."He's pissed off because it's not a player issue, it's a club one in the fiscal sense, but I do not want to talk about this too much because I know a lot."
