Morata + Ronaldo + a half decent holding midfielder... that would see us overtake Real Madrid.

And getting Morata wouldn't change that.No chance. Bar De Gea we don't have a player that would get into Madrids team.
I said the 'overall quality' of the league. I'm not talking about the clubs in Europe but the smaller teams who are far more competitive.The league hasn't improved at all - performances in Europe show the English sides have regressed since he was last here.
Stick two men on him all they want. It leaves space for others to run riot, and you don't think teams attempt to do that already anyway?
The overall quality of the league has improved since he was last here too
I also wonder why you don´t try Dembelé since it´s obvious that the club has a lot of money. If you buy Cristiano, then I´d like Mbappé + Dembele

Yea it points out some glaring weaknesses that need replacements.Rojo and Carrick off, Gareth Bale (as left back) and proper holding mid. Otherwise that looks beautiful on paper.
Totally different players. Ronaldo will make way more space for the other 2 to hit at pace. And that is the magic word here, PACE, with obvious threat and quality.That's just terrible. We'd be relying on Ronaldo to singlehandedly win us games, just as we were with Zlatan.
Ah man thats way too harsh, do i need to remind you about the goals he got this season. Or are you just gonna blame him for Jose playing him on the wing?If you swap Rashford with someone who can score goals then maybe.
Its a 433 with tony v, pushing on and Rojo tucking in, while in possession. Martial and Rashford are not out n out wingers and I guess you are just one of these guys who does not rate Carrick. While he is getting on, there is no doubting his quility to the team. He wont go on forever and he is coming near the end but at the moment he still does a job for us. The worlds best player with support of 2 of the fastest and most promising young players in prem if not the world and a Pogba would, I say, cause havoc.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.
It's 'Froganos', u imbeseal.And then ferugsn retired...

Bad business is bad business. Paying over 100 mil for a 32 yr old is worse than bad. But lucky for you Ed is in charge so you may have your way.Please.
This is Ronaldo we're talking about, not Wayne Rooney. The man is a top professional who keeps his body and mind in perfect condition year after year.
Zlatan was our best player at 35. Ronaldo, who is built like a machine and has his mind at the right place, can play at least 3 more years at the highest level, and I won't be surprised if he goes beyond that.
Good old SFA

This. I think Madrid wouldn't believe their luck to sell him at a huge profit at that age. It's like the New York Cosmos buying Pele. Great for this year's marketing, not so great for being taken seriously.

Will you call it bad business if he gives us the edge in our pursuit for trophies in the next 3-4 years?
100 mil is chump change. The club will recover that on his shirt sales alone.

Ronaldo clearly playing brinkmanship between United and Madrid.
Am not saying he won't come, as Madrid may call his bluff, but I think this is his bi-annual 'prove you love me' charade with Madrid.
If Madrid does decide to discard him, we should not pay any more than £70m for him.
