Ronaldo has and will only ever do what is right for him…we were stupid enough the first time to give him a bag of cash…anyone who thinks Ronaldo leading us out in the champions league in another years time is a lunatic. There is a reason no top side wants him.
Agree with most except for above. Clubs are hesitant only because of his salary. Most clubs don’t want to spend 25 million on salary of a player. They would rather use that as investment to buy another player. If Ronaldo cuts the salary , there will be plenty of clubs showing interest.
It's been reported he's willing to take a significant pay cut to join another club, but there still aren't any bites.
If he falls massively in form, the club are committed to £25m per year in wages for a 39 year old after he abandoned us during this most difficult season. We should simply tell him to stay until Xmas 2022 then he can go on loan to CL team after the world cup or leave on a permanent deal.
He had a high wage from the begining. But to add to the problem they differed 2 years wages to the last 4 years. So he is going to get payed much more under the next 4 years compared to his original yearly wages. I cant see him accepting to let go that ammount of money and he will be another Gareth Bale problem where they want to shift him but nobody wants to pay these wages.
Not just salary he represents a short term fix and can be detrimental to players coming through. Juventus bought him at 32 when he was still at his peak of his powers to win the CL. It didn’t happen CR7 just fell out with the coaches for 4 years, yes he’s still going to score 20/30 goals per season but at what cost. I say we let him go on loan for 1 year but the loan team pays his wages and a loan fee of £5m, we then extend his contract on the understanding, we sell him next year for £25M to the Saudi Club who have expressed an interest.
I like this but I like my idea more, we extend on the understanding that he will be sold in 23/24 to the Saudi side for £25m and he can go on loan to CL team this season providing they pay a £5m loan fee and all of his wages. A short term fix to a short term problem. And we gain £30M towards ETH rebuild.
I am sure they will be like new signings when we don't sign anyone else
We have enough bodies for the more advanced roles.
Because 99% of football "journalists" just repeat whatever agents tell them.
It's money making, and to that end, the content is perfect because the clicks keep coming in for it.
It's an endless well of self-perpetuating 'news'.
