I could see this happening in the summer. Madrid take Reus for half of what Ronaldo costs us.
There's not many, if any people who have witnessed both play that would take Ronaldo over Best, he was simply that good.He really wasn't.
I'd rather pay half and get Reus.I could see this happening in the summer. Madrid take Reus for half of what Ronaldo costs us.

Why? 4 years of Ronaldo scoring 40 odd a season would be perfect. Can't see Reus ever doing that.
1)Its highly doubtful that ronaldo will keep his scoring record when he is 30 plus.
2) Reus adds more balance to the team.
3) Reus is younger and will be at his peak for a longer time period.
ThisSorry mate, we're not QPR. Besides, we already have a No.7 superstar
Will a 30 year ronaldo be at the same level as this ronaldo? A large part of his game is his finishing,pace and strength. He has cut all of his dribbling skills and passing from his game for the past five-seven years.That's mental, Reus may offer a lot for his value, age etc, but this CR... there will be other's Reus's....
A 30 year old Ronaldo will be 6 months older than current Ronaldo. I don't think his legs will have fallen off. There is no younger alternative that is anywhere near as good, Reus included. When you get the opportunity to have one of the best players of all time (and a club legend) at the club, you take it.Will a 30 year ronaldo be at the same level as this ronaldo?

What happens when he loses that pace and power? Is it worth spending 60-70m to find out when we can have a younger alternative who is almost as good? I dont think so.
Six months can make a difference, maybe not now in Ronaldo's case but one bad injury and you will soon see the effect it has on any player hitting their 30's. Add that to the fact he would still cost £60+ million and you can understand the concerns.A 30 year old Ronaldo will be 6 months older than current Ronaldo.

By the way, he's not a Club Legend, far from it, he will be remembered as a Real Madrid player.
I don't think he considers real the pinnacle of the game or a step above United. He might but I've never directly head him say that. If I'm not wrong he was a Real supporter from childhood and always dreamed of playing there. It was a matter of when and not if he left for Real.

He had 3 good seasons here, he is a Real Madrid legend, not Uniteds IMO. But yeah, I'd imagine most will see him as a legend because he is a very good player, I however think there is more to it than that.I disagree totally - for me he is a United legend.
Dear God
You're mental, Rues plays more central nowadays while Ronaldo still primarily still operates from the left. Not to mention that we could easily afford to sign both Rues and Ronaldo (Just saying) as Ronaldo's shirt sales will see his money returned instantly pretty much. 30 year old Ronaldo is also miles better than Rues..

I don't see this drop off you speak of happening in the next few years.. he has already defied logic, but you find it crazy he might again?
I can't believe there are really people who think you just drop down a level as soon as you hit 30. Scholesy was 32 when he had arguably his best ever season with us for starters. Obviously your physical powers decline as you get older but it's bizarre that people think 30 is this magic number which signals the beginning of the decline.
Brilliant.
A drop off can happen overnight, ask any professional football player and they can pinpoint a time in their career when they knew things were going South.I don't see this drop off you speak of happening in the next few years.. he has already defied logic, but you find it crazy he might again?
His pace might decline, at which point he'll only have insane movement, insane finishing, insane long shooting ability, insane power, and fantastic dribbling. Championship level. Even when his pace declines by 10/20% or so he'll be faster than 90% of defenders, and certainly faster than Drogba/Ibra/Rooney/RVP/plenty of other top level strikers.When exactly did he defy logic?
Its bizarre to think that a person whose game is built around is pace,power and finishing is going to decline as he gets older? The 30 figure is just being used as thats the age he will be in the coming summer when we might sign him. Comparing him to scholes is downright idiotic.
Especially when you look after yourself like that beastly fecker does.I can't believe there are really people who think you just drop down a level as soon as you hit 30.

The word legend is used so much these days that the word has become meaningless.

Please tell me you're joking, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee"United have sold more than 350,000 Ronaldo shirts hours after the Portuguese revealed he would love to go back to Manchester in the future, sources have confirmed."
Seems about right.
Hes in for a shock then.Anyone else find it cheeky that he thinks he can just waltz back to us when hes in his 30s, probably expecting a huge contract and to have the team built around him.
