In a realistic version of this, we rotate Ronaldo and Cavani at 9 because neither can play every single game. We're definitely not signing Kane. Sounds like a fucking FIFA career mode save file though. If this happens, I think I'd spontaneously combust.
Dude isn't getting younger and the Prem is very physically demanding. I would rotate him regularly, for the sake of managing him to avoid injuries and keep him fit for the biggest games. The worst case scenario would be him playing 12 or 13 games regularly in the beginning of the season then picking up a big injury that ends his season. It's speculative but better safe than sorry.
Well he played all season with a congested schedule. I think he can handle a regularly scheduled premier league season while he’s still at a top level. Physicality isn’t an issue either as he’s pretty well put together as far as footballers go. I think he would be fine. It’s not like Serie A is known for being soft
Yeah I mean it'd be a bit silly for me to say he 100% couldn't handle playing week in week out, it's just about management, especially when United have Cavani, Rashford, Greenwood and Martial to play 9. The strategy would probably to rest Ronaldo as much as he'd accept probably to ensure when it comes time to play UCL games or massive league games he's definitely fit. I don't think they'd want to take risks with anyone closer to 40 than 30, even if it is the best physical specimen in football.
It’s all speculation so I guess we can’t know until he’s out on the field. He would definitely get more rest than he got at Juve I just don’t think he’s going to be playing every other week. I can’t imagine him accepting that lol. But again, I’m not omniscient so you could be 100% right and I could be talking out of my ass lol
Well Real had more depth and talent. When you have Bale, Benzema, Modric, and Kroos you can afford to take a rest every once in a while. Juvenuts haven’t had Dybala for most of the season and the next best forwards are Chinese and Kulusevski. That’s a steep drop off. If Pirlo would have rested Ronaldo they wouldn’t even be in contention for top 4 most likely
I mean it's not like Ronaldo hasn't spent a bit of time on the right before Rashford would be on the left, and nobody said anything about Pogba turning into Matic.
He is not wanted, no criminal charges have been brought against him.
So the accuser is now seeking a case in civil court. I don't know if that means he can be even arrested etc.
Having watched all the seasons of suits I'm basically an expert, I don't think he can be arrested but he can be questioned by lawyers if it's a civil suit where he would be under oath. In suits it typically ends in a settlement.
But still, if he went to play in the MLS, everything would probably resurface in the media again and this time US media would pay more attention than they did last time.
The general climate in the US about MeToo has, in my opinion, ensured that Ronaldo is never going to become the huge brand in the US that he had maybe hoped for.
I mean, sign him on a free for a 1 year contract and your long term expenses wont be that huge while still getting a huge marketing boost, shirt sales, etc. Besides having CR7 on your team
Large part of the revenue from shirt sales typically goes to the manufacturer. Besides, big stars like Messi and Ronaldo often have image rights and sponsorship deals outside the clubs.
>Shirt sales don't work like that either if I can recall.
They obviously just get a % of it, but considering Juve sold 60m € worth of CR7 shirts in just 24 hrs after signing him, and assuming they received 10% of it (because i'm too lazy to look for it rn. Some clubs receive less, some receive more), that's already 6m. That's 2 and a half months of his wage already, in just 1 day.
It's obviously not enough to fund a transfer, but it does help softening the financial impact.
Most shirt sponsorships don't work that way. The best majority work where a Nike or Adidas etc pay you a large amount of money as a sponsorship fee and it doesn't matter in the slightest whether you sign Messi or some league one player, you sti get a small percentage of shirt sales.
Depends on the deal, the new kit deal we have with Nike the club earns 20% of the kits sold, thats why we went with them. New Balance was willing to match Nike but Nike has more stores they could sell at than New Balance.
New Balance could offer 3000 stores while Nike could sell them at 6000 Stores.

The thing with marketing boosts, shirt sales etc.. that people need to accommodate is the tangible **differential** that a player will make.
For example, if someone were to say "United sold 1million Ronaldo shirts" the common misconception would be that they've made their money back and then some based on those shirt sales alone. But the thing is you have to factor in how many of those shirt sales were from Ronaldo alone. A lot of people who buy those shirts will have been already planning on buying United shirts and instead of getting Pogba or Bruno or whoever they got Ronaldo instead. So he's not really had a difference at all on those sales.
You need to calculate how many people were not going to buy a United shirt at all and solely bought one because of Ronaldo alone. That number would be much smaller.
Ronaldo would definitely be a pretty large net gain though. Juve sold like 800k shirts the entire 2017-18 season, then sold 500k ronaldo shirts in a day.
Juventus already had a pre-exisitng kit deal with Adidas at that point. Adidas would have made the *vast, overwhelming* majority of the profit for those sales.
It's why kit manufacturer pay multimillion $€£ deals to clubs. They don't sign those deal and then also give the club all the money they make off kits.
At best Juventus might have negotiated something like a 10% fee for kits. So when you factor in my point from before as well as the minimal % of money that clubs make off kit sales, it's peanuts compared to what these superstar names cost.
Well always be interested for the narrative. But on sporting terms I just dont see the logic and would rather let Rashford and Greenwood thrive
The reason he got Ronaldo is because Ferguson binned Van Nistelrooy and moved Giggs to a more Beckham-esque (then outright regista) to let him and Rooney thrive
It would make sense if he accepts a similar role to later year Giggs where he is saved for the harder matches
Also will be weird having him wear 17 or something
Bruno sliding on the grass cupping his ears as “SIUUU” booms out from the other side of the stadium, tears in our eyes, the Barclays restored to its former glory
His conversion rate is worse than Bruno's. He's still very good at it but Bruno is better right now. He's obviously great at scoring goals aside from penalties but if we did sign him it wouldn't get us more penalty goals at all.
People overstate how good he is/was at pens. Bruno's conversion rate is substantially higher I think. Bruno's like 96% or something for United, not sure how high it was for Sporting but people were already speaking about how reliable he was. I think Ronaldo's overall for his career is in the mid 80s
I mean at what point do you "move on" from a player as celebrated at Ronaldo at United ? Club's only Ballon d'Or winner in the last 60 years and a beloved son who the fanbase watched turn from speculative talent to the best player in the world.
Would it be a smart decision from United ? No, probably. Would I absolutely adore watching Ronaldo celebrate at a full Old Trafford, oh my god yes.
Signing a stationary 40 year old doesn’t really fit in with the stated aim of building a team of young, hungry, fast, mobile athletes.
And I’m saying that as someone who thinks CR7 is not only the greatest player they’ve ever seen live *but also* the only footballer I would allow my daughter to marry.
Yes, I was applying poetic licence and it comes from a place of great affection. Can we agree that he is ...*selective* about when he expends his energy?
Chelsea under Lampard definitely weren't getting out of a group with PSG and Leipzig. Liverpool maybe because they played much better football in the UCL this year, and obviously beat Leipzig over two legs comfortably, but I still think they'd have a tough time.
Says who? You? Our squad is better overall and Lampard was on a roll at that time if you don’t remember he was keeping clean sheets in cl and prem, it all went downhill later on unfortunately for him. It’s just a petty excuse by United they beat their two biggest competitors in the group and proceeded to lose to a turkish team. How that ever happened I do not know
Dude obviously that is a subjective claim, but there's just no comparison between that Lampard Chelsea side and PSG or Leipzig. They were much, much better teams.
Also, Chelsea don't have a better squad than United do. Maybe 3 or 4 Chelsea players get in United's team assuming a 4-2-3-1. Tuchel is on an absolute tear right now and is playing great football, but I still don't think looking as objectively as possible that United don't, man for man starting XI, have more quality. Depth wise I agree Chelsea have reinforced massively and can rotate excellently, but I just don't think that Chelsea have a squad rounded enough. Lacking at least one CB assuming Thiago Silva is fit, a CM and an ST.
On how United managed to fuck up the group stage, I absolutely agree with you. It still boggles my mind how poor we were away in Istanbul, how badly we finished our chances against PSG at home, and how shambolic our first half was away at Leipzig. United should have had that group in the bag.
Lol wtf, only rashford and bruno would get into the current system that tuchel plays. Which would place rashford as the “striker” and bruno in cam next to mount, none of your holding midfielders are better than ours, tuchel wouldn’t play a cb that turns like a bus and whilst shaw has had the better season he’s never played as a wingback only reason he doesn’t get in if it’s a flat 4 then sure and awb can’t even get an England call up. And as you added we have much better depth. Don’t even try shoving pogba in he’s not a holding midfielder and he’s been piss poor since he’s joined apart from the occasional good performance.
What ? Maguire would waltz into your backline, he's probably been the 2nd best CB in the league this year behind Dias, and so would Luke Shaw. He's just around the better player regardless of system. Not even debatable. Cavani gets in very, very easily too. Possibly even Lindelof, but maybe you can argue Rudiger is in too good form right now to drop. Either DDG or Henderson would probably start over Mendy, who's okay but is liable to mistakes and has only average distribution compared to Henderson.
At CM Pogba would play alongside Kantè, he played his football at Juventus in a similar system and would likely excell next to someone as defensively capable and quick to recover as Kantè. I won't really compare it to the French national team because Matuidi's inclusion to cover for Pogba defensively there is something that wouldn't be replicated. Also his numbers have been better for United than at Juve, and was PFA XI 18/19. He definitely hasn't been the flop people say he has. Inconsistent for spells definitely, but still a big positive.
You’re genuinely delusional 😂😂😂😂 second best centre back in the prem, why because he’s got a slabhead and can pass the ball well? I already explained shaw nothing more needs to be said, cavani doesn’t get in rashford would play as the “striker” man mentioned lindelof aswell ahahahaha I’m creasing here. Mendy joint most clean sheets ucl and top 5 in prem but no ddg or Henderson start and you don’t fucking know how a pivot works 😭😭😭 pogba is an attacking minded midfielder he didn’t play there for Juventus he was on the left side. Fml man you gave me a good chuckle have a nice evening
Yeah I don't think you watch much football. Maguire has been ridiculously good this season, and you sound a bit like a child referencing memes in an actual discussion. Dude is so good distributively and works excellently in a 3atb because of his ability to carry the ball forward himself. Also fucking ridiculous in the air and in tackles.
I don't think you know what explain means. Shaw's qualities would very easily translate to a wingback role. He's the best progressive carrier in the league and has an absolutely excellent delivery and a great engine. Would be an improvement on either Chilwel or Alonso comfortably.
Using clean sheets to explain why a GK is good is poor analysis and doesn't actually directly reference how good the GK is. Mendy has so many clean sheets because he faces do few shots. Not complex. Henderson has been a mental shot stopper and is better with his feet, plus has great distribution with his hands too.
Pogba played a role on the left of a three behind Vidal but next to Pirlo. In a system where his partner is extremely quick and willing to sit, plus how hard the fullbacks under Tuchel work defensively, Pogba would work really well as a CM. He definitely wasn't an attacking midfielder akin to Bruno or KdB or something like that, he played CM a Juve. He wasn't racking up 25 assists and 15 goals a season or something, he was playing more BtB.
Rashford wouldn't play that role of 9 particularly well because he'd be running the same channels likely that those wide of him are, depending on whether or not Werner would play especially. Cavani's presence in the box, intelligent movement and insane workrate would be ideal for Chelsea, and is exactly the type of player Tuchel is looking to add.
It sounds like you don't read very much into football or watch with any discernment, and you just blatantly and very loudly shout "Go Chelsea" but with many more words, which is fine, but at least keep things so the people around you can have actual conversations. Unless you're a troll, which is also fine I guess.
ronaldo and kane rumors now, god help us
Rashford Kane Ronaldo and Bruno with Pogba derper midfield
That wouldn’t work. Rashford does not play well on the right and Ronaldo is a LW. Also Pogba isn’t that great as a CDM.
"Isn't that great" is putting it nicely
In a realistic version of this, we rotate Ronaldo and Cavani at 9 because neither can play every single game. We're definitely not signing Kane. Sounds like a fucking FIFA career mode save file though. If this happens, I think I'd spontaneously combust.
Ronaldo has played almost every game for Juventus this season......
Dude isn't getting younger and the Prem is very physically demanding. I would rotate him regularly, for the sake of managing him to avoid injuries and keep him fit for the biggest games. The worst case scenario would be him playing 12 or 13 games regularly in the beginning of the season then picking up a big injury that ends his season. It's speculative but better safe than sorry.

I can’t imagine him accepting that lol. But again, I’m not omniscient so you could be 100% right and I could be talking out of my ass lol
That hasn't really been a great choice tho.
Why? He’s been their best player by a mile. He has 36 goals in 44 appearances this season
His minutes were handled much better at Madrid. He still played a lot but he sat out midweek matches towards the end of a season.
Well Real had more depth and talent. When you have Bale, Benzema, Modric, and Kroos you can afford to take a rest every once in a while. Juvenuts haven’t had Dybala for most of the season and the next best forwards are Chinese and Kulusevski. That’s a steep drop off. If Pirlo would have rested Ronaldo they wouldn’t even be in contention for top 4 most likely
yeah maybe a better way to say it is that it's not an ideal situation to need him starting every match.
I mean it's not like Ronaldo hasn't spent a bit of time on the right before Rashford would be on the left, and nobody said anything about Pogba turning into Matic.
Sancho?
He can come to United too. 3-5-2 with Sancho and Rashford out wide. Win every game 6-5.

Hotel?
Trivago!
It actually is our training sponsor now. So this chain of comments feels good
I've read they made a 70 or £80m offer...hotel included
Gaitan news?
Who actually is this source that so many people are listening to him?
Transfer Checker
Basically tier 1
Who cares? I both like and hate the story so....
The guy is fairly reliable tbf, he normally gets most things spot on.
COME TO BRAZIL
come to Barca for the memes!
Come to Besiktas!!!
But seriously, where would he go?
Who can afford his wages at his age?
Inter Miami
He's never going back to the US.
Ronaldo played in US?
He is still highly suspected of raping someone in America, can't remember if he actually has any warrants for arrest or questioning though.
He is not wanted, no criminal charges have been brought against him. So the accuser is now seeking a case in civil court. I don't know if that means he can be even arrested etc.
Having watched all the seasons of suits I'm basically an expert, I don't think he can be arrested but he can be questioned by lawyers if it's a civil suit where he would be under oath. In suits it typically ends in a settlement.
You always settle

The general climate in the US about MeToo has, in my opinion, ensured that Ronaldo is never going to become the huge brand in the US that he had maybe hoped for.
I thought he had already settled the case out of court ?
He’s not highly suspected of rape. He was accused and nothing came of it.
I mean, sign him on a free for a 1 year contract and your long term expenses wont be that huge while still getting a huge marketing boost, shirt sales, etc. Besides having CR7 on your team
Juve won't let him go for free. Shirt sales don't work like that either if I can recall.
Large part of the revenue from shirt sales typically goes to the manufacturer. Besides, big stars like Messi and Ronaldo often have image rights and sponsorship deals outside the clubs.
>Shirt sales don't work like that either if I can recall.

He'll certainly decrease his wages lol. He's at the disadvantage here.
This post makes it seem like he'll leave Juve because Europa League football means less money for him lol
Yes but that's 25% of his brand, even a reduction of 25% of his wages most probably won't hit his brand that hard
He will probably take a paycut since he is gonna lose sponsorships.
[удалено]
That is?
A club that is gonna lose a certain French scoring winger.
Ousmane doesn't score that much mate.
You mean Martial Ronaldo Swap?
Ronaldo to Marseille
No way Ribery is leaving Fiorentina
Lol
PSG.
Its mentioned in the title.
It says he expressed his desire to go to Man U. Never heard a rumor of Man U being interested, but it could be

I don't see him staying without CL football, but I also don't know who can afford to pay his wages plus a transfer fee
let's swap coutinho and cr7
We'd go bankrupt after half a season on both Ronaldo's and Messi's wages assuming Messi keeps similar wages to his previous contract (60-75%).
just sell the defence, can‘t get much worse /s
Ronaldo has been linked with a return back to Man Utd every Summer since 2013 without failure.
Imagining this United team with even more penalties
Ronaldo and Bruno taking the penalty at the same time and doing their celebrations at different corner flags
What in the anime shit is this
Bruno sliding on the grass cupping his ears as “SIUUU” booms out from the other side of the stadium, tears in our eyes, the Barclays restored to its former glory
> Barclays I'm not crying, you're crying
Bruno hops and Ronaldo slides in underneath
I don't think Ronaldo wins many penalties these days and he's not as good at taking them as Bruno.
Lol, ronaldo’s penalty taking ability is one aspect that hasn’t declined massively and he was always a top 3 taker worldwide.
His conversion rate is worse than Bruno's. He's still very good at it but Bruno is better right now. He's obviously great at scoring goals aside from penalties but if we did sign him it wouldn't get us more penalty goals at all.
People overstate how good he is/was at pens. Bruno's conversion rate is substantially higher I think. Bruno's like 96% or something for United, not sure how high it was for Sporting but people were already speaking about how reliable he was. I think Ronaldo's overall for his career is in the mid 80s

LMAO. He's not going to United

But it's Cristiano Ronaldo
Mods? What the fuck is this shit
Time for a new challenge... To PSG!
3 trophies guaranteed in France plus semifinal in UCL at least, even if he does nothing in psg
Have ManU not moved on from Ronaldo? Its been nearly 12 years. And Cavani is doing an amazing job as their striker.
We have, Ive been preferring Messi for the past 9 years I reckon
I mean at what point do you "move on" from a player as celebrated at Ronaldo at United ? Club's only Ballon d'Or winner in the last 60 years and a beloved son who the fanbase watched turn from speculative talent to the best player in the world. Would it be a smart decision from United ?

I don't want Ronaldo anymore
Signing a stationary 40 year old doesn’t really fit in with the stated aim of building a team of young, hungry, fast, mobile athletes. And I’m saying that as someone who thinks CR7 is not only the greatest player they’ve ever seen live *but also* the only footballer I would allow my daughter to marry.
Wouldn't describe Ronaldo as stationary. He does not press, but he is certainly active.
Yes, I was applying poetic licence and it comes from a place of great affection. Can we agree that he is ...*selective* about when he expends his energy?
More like PSG. ManU is simply not good enough for competing for the CL or Premier League title, and Ronaldo nowadays will not carry alone.
We're literally unbeaten against both CL finalists this season
Because that's how that works.
Obviously not, but if they can get there then it's not exactly impossible.
ah yes two results, heres your "unbeaten against chelsea and city" trophy 🏆
Out in group stage again and nowhere near the PL title for 8 years (and counting).
At least it's not been 30 years pal edit: lmao this fuckwit literally only posts about United despite having a liverpool flair 🤡 rent free.
Has been 41 years for ManU before and will be again, nerd.
You are also the only english team to be KOed to Europa in the group stage
We also happened to be the only one in a hard group
