A decent player, but his time at Barca rather suggests he's not cut out for the top level.

I reckon we do and he is good value at that price he is like 22 or 23 and strong as an ox.
I know right. I don't believe we were ever in for him.
I agree, I'd definitely take him for a knock down fee, though. He's still young and he does have talent.
Sirigu and Trapp linked with moves away, who will they put between the sticks?
Is he any good?
Areola was their first choice from september until february last year, before and after that Trapp was first choice. So I guess they have faith in Areola then.

Monaco have signed 20-year old RB Jordy Gaspar from Lyon on a 3-year deal.
They are obviously interested in Donnarumma but, I think they are also looking at Toulouse's Alban Lafont.
Of course I completely forgot about him.
That'd be a good signing for them

Smells like new contract talks to me. He will cost a ton if he ever leaves, and at 32 going 33, I am torn between wanting to see him wear our no.7 again against re-building our team to suit him. If I use my head to think about it - the costs involved and his age, I rather spend the money on other players like Dembele or someone like that.
No thanks.
I'd pay €100-120m for him, the commercial aspects would cover a fair part of his salary and the transfer fee. He'd probably bang them in for another 3-4 years here, and the fear factor alone would make us contenders immediately. I reckong he is Woody's dream signing

Deja vu
Would fleeing Spain really help him avoid his legals cases as well as his tax? Can anyone actually afford him?
Ronaldo and Mourinho don't get along at all right? So where will he go? PSG?
The amount of people that just came in their pants is unbelievable.
We won't sign him. He'll cost around the same as Saudi Arabia's GDP, he's 32, and he'll get a new contract.
Romantic, yes. Realistic, no.

City/United to be linked with a 60m move for him next summer
On the first part - I don't think its to help him avoid his legal case, because that just wouldn't be feasible, its far too high profile.
I think it's more to do with his overall happiness, possibly some influence from his family too especially his mother. Despite his huge ego, Ronaldo has shown himself to be a good guy over the years.
He's coming home to finish the cereal versus Corn Flakes debate; it's the new Messi v Ronaldo.
Was just going to post something similar.
When Woody next contacts them, they'll say "so Mr Woodward we need more money for Morata" Woody "feck Morata how much for Ronaldo"!!!I'd pay €100-120m for him, the commercial aspects would cover a fair part of his salary and the transfer fee.

All this Lukaku money talk because of our signings isn't the case. We can afford these players without selling him. This doesn't mean I think he's staying though.
I don't see Ronaldo and Mourinho working together again. If he leaves (he won't) he'll be going elsewhere.
Not a tweet, but Sky says:
Probably misses home so a move to Europe would make sense.

Fecking snake.
Any idea how many years he has left on his contract? Ronaldo might be 31 but he will bang in 30+ goals a season for at least another three seasons. The commercial pull and the on field performances would still warrant a big fee. No sell on potential is the biggest consideration.
Posted in Ronaldo thread, my bad. Doesnt confirm hes leaving, just says there are differing reports from Portugal and Spain

4 years 5 months, he signed a new contract last November.
There were rumors RM would be renewing the contracts of a few players (I know Kovacic was one of them), but I don't recall reading Cristiano's name among the rest. He might be thinking, if everyone is getting a pay raise, why am I not getting one?
Doesn't make sense. Europe is not Tevez's home.
Brilliant news about Ronaldo. We need a different rumor to distract us while Woody finalizes our transfers.
I guess maybe he doens't want to go to Arsenal then.

Whoooooooo$h.
No, he's not going to jail, at worst he'll have to defer payment, the narrative is more that "feck Spain, that's the last money they'll make out of me" kinda thing, that might vaguely give him some wiggle room in the case.
People can afford him, but his age and length of his contract means it's not even viable for anyone to bid for him, Real are trying to get £78 mil for a sub, they'd want 200+ for Ronaldo. He's ego won't allow him to down tools and sulk, so Real don't have to do shit.
This is a pointless exercise.
