Cristiano Ronaldo | Transfer Speculation

Commercial sense....we are not going to get £130m in shirt sales and other merchandising but even uf we did most of it would end up with Adidas.

Wouldn't it make sense to spend that money on Mbappe who will give you a minimum of 10 years plus trophies.
I don't know how much we'd make, whether on shirt sales or otherwise, or what the shortfall between his fee and the income we'd make on the back of signing him would be, if any, but you can be absolutely certain we'd make more from advertisers etc. if we could offer them Ronaldo as part of the deal.

As to Mbappe, I don't necessarily disagree with the sentiment, but he's had one season. Beyond that he can guarantee you nothing.
 
This would be the greatest summer of all time.

Unfortunately I don't see this happening. Perez will work something shady with the Spanish authorities and all well be fine.

I'm not completely convinced, that this is all about the money(the taxes that is). It might just be more (or just as much) about Barca bending over backwards and taking it where the sun don't shine, to defend their little tax-fraudster, while Real basically have left Ronaldo to fend for himself.
 
Sergio Ramos has obviously had a word in his ear on how to get the club to do what he wants.

I can't see anything other than a new contract signed and an agreement that his tax bill will be paid for before August 31st.

Haven't a fair few people already said that he has actually paid his tax bill?
And he only signed a contract recently.

The quicker we crack our other targets the better though, unless this sorts itself out next week
 
.......... Ronaldo
Martial ........... Rashford
........... Pogba
...... Carrick Herrera
Rojo Lindelof Bailly TonyV
............ DDG

That would give sleepless nights to every defence in the league. Of course there is room for improvement but what a starting point.

Rojo and Carrick off, Gareth Bale (as left back) and proper holding mid. Otherwise that looks beautiful on paper.

That's just terrible. We'd be relying on Ronaldo to singlehandedly win us games, just as we were with Zlatan.

If you swap Rashford with someone who can score goals then maybe.

Not that I agree with that line up but if you were to replace Ronaldo for Zlatan last season how many more points would that have got us?

Ronaldo is my all time favorite player but I don't think bringing Ronaldo back is any good for the team. I would rather have Morata and Perisic here instead of paying 131M for 32 year old Ronaldo. He obviously has been in top shape but he cannot be relied upon especially with current midfield and our attacking midfielders and wingers have not provided high quality service. I agree that he would have a similar impact as Zlatan did. He would score his goals but I don't see us benefiting as a team.
 
In the PL? No chance! I would still love him here though.

Not just league goals. All competitions.

I'd expect something like:

17/18:
League: 28
UCL: 5
FAC: 4
LC: 2


18/19:
League: 24
UCL: 5
FAC: 3
LC: Rested

19/20:
League: 24
UCL: 4
FAC: 3
LC: Rested


He'd absolutely eat the current EPL defences for breakfast. His power, movement and finishing is off the charts.

You can't be serious.

1) The only ones losing sleep with that lineup is Jose.

2) Rojo is shit at LB. Blind would be a better option.

3) Carrick is old and will not cause anyone to lose sleep other than Jose. He won't be first choice if we sign a DM.

4) Rashford on the right just because? Why weaken our lineup just to put a certain player on the pitch. If we're starting next season with Martial and Rashford as our wingers we'll be abysmal with or without Ronaldo.
 
Not a reliable outlet, or is it?
The vid posted a couple of pages ago had Sid Lowe saying A Bola wont print something without Mendes' approval..
So...
Either he is trying to force Madrid's hand.. or there are some legs to it... The story is probably not completely fabricated.
 
Because its not real. This whole situation and Mbappe is holding up everyone else's transfers.

It might be real, it be fake. But hyphotetically if there is a chance we could get Ronaldo, you should want the club to get him I think.
 


I rest my case.


If he comes in and plays a huge part towards us winning the premier league or the champions league in the next two seasons then I really couldn't give a toss about the figures. I'd rather it be spent to help us win than in the Glazers accountant.
 
Sky have been reading Di Marzio's tweets again haven't they.
 
If we forget all our other targets and go into next season with just Ronaldo and lindelof is that really a good transfer window?That isn't to say that they are the only 2 players we would buy but to get Ronaldo we're going have to fork out £100m-£150m at least.
I wouldn't be particularly happy with that.As much as I love Ronaldo we can't forget that we still need a holding midfielder and a left back (if we're led to believe that Jose isn't to keen on Shaw).If we still get Morata too then I would be more inclined to think that we could go into the season with a great chance of a trophy or two.

No, it isn't. One injury we ROnaldo and we're completely fecked. We should be building a strong team. If we can afford Ronaldo on top of our other targets then great, if not then we should leave it.
 
Still refuse to believe it. Only God knows. We don't.
 
Theres only one reason I do not buy the whole "he is using us to sign an extension at Madrid" line - Why would we allow him to?

Its impossible for me to think Jose will alow Jorge Mendes to basically use him. Remember we are trying to sign Morata from Madrid, this news isnt helping us in any way shape or form on that front. Jose would want the signing to be done in the next 2 weeks maximum so that he is ready for pre season.

If Ronaldo really wants to come to United, I would like to think Mendes would tell Jose first and Jose himself would have a conversation with Ronaldo to confirm.

It's a good point that Madrid could win three successive Champions league's. Would be galling for him to miss out on that or watch Mbappe and co do it. That's missing out on potential incredibly rare history. It's the worst timing for other clubs.

While its nice all over Europe right now and a blazing 27c here in Manchester, over a year Paris has a little more rainfall than Manchester and looking at winter temps they were very similar, summer is generally a few degrees hotter in London Paris. Really, London and Paris can be quite grim and cloudy and Manchester just a bit more. You want the south of France or Spain for nice weather. If the weather is important for him then PSG is pretty bad too. Still, Paris London New York are top tier world cities that super stars can blend in. Somehow I just don't see him leaving Spain but then maybe 2-4 years here isn't such a problem but he seems happy with his son at his Spanish pad?

Then add in what Ronnie said after the CL victory and seemingly feeling good about the Madrid fans plus a contract signed seven months ago, after calming down in a few weeks he'll probably take stock. Then there's stats to keep up. At PSG he could keep them up. If you look at La Liga each year, Madrid and Barca wipe the floor with everyone on goals scored, normally over a 100. the third place team is nowhere near. Premier League is usually around 70 goals scored, he'll score lots here but not those bonkers stats.

I would love for him to come back. 100-130m is what I'd be thinking of. Morata at 60m and De Gea if he has to go then 40-60m. I don't like this 200m plus De gea, that's effectively 250m for Ronnie and Morata.

We aren't. Which is why all the smoke is coming from Ronald's end and not ours.

We were going to pay 87 million for Griezmann and also wanted him along with a striker, if we sign ronaldo only and no other attacker plus a midfielder we are set for a good season.
Lindelof(30), ronaldo(120-130), Good midfieldr(40-50 milliom) = 200 million which we were gonna spend anyways.
Also we will have 40 million from depay and schiderlin plus will make money from smalling and januzaj sales atleast, maybe even rooney . Easily we can afford to sign Ronaldo, lindelof +2 others without any problems.
