Some will view it as a tainted legacy. A similar example - Rafa went down in some people's estimation when he went to Everton.

We all probably have examples of people that spoiled how we used to feel about them by doing something wrong or daft or whatever. It's hard to see them in the same way again and I'd say people break down into roughly 50/50 with regard to seeing the good they did before, being wiped out. So there will be some for whom Ronaldo's achievements won't be regarded in the same way.

i don't see that with Ronaldo as he clearly isn't a "good" person considering the payment to make the rape allegation disappear so in comparison taking the filthy lucre from a bunch of hateful despots isn't going to change his rep in the world wide view of football .
See in my view i'm a realist. though cynic works as well. and i live in a country which bribed their way into a massive arms deal with Saudi Arabia and they are now using those planes to bomb the Yemen plus HMG allow them to buy large chunks of this country so a footballer going to play there seems a bit meh tbh

So you believe he raped someone who was happy to take money as retribution but came back for more when she pissed it all away on drugs? The same woman that got told "no more money, take it to court and we will get justice" (she backed off)

He never denied having sex with her and even went into graphic detail in an interview as to what he did with her, he also mentioned the price she charged him for the experience.


Think you may find his "rep world wide" is a bit higher than you imagine.

don't you.just love the predictability of idiot mancs who will defend the guy who milked their club of half a mil a week for faff all while disrupting the dressing room doing it.

nearly as lecherous as the glaziers in fact, over the proper he was stinking utd out.

the truth hurts I suppose ;)
 
Thuram and Kone rumours gone very quiet last few days. Maybe because they’re on international duty? Doesn’t have same feel as it does over some of previous signings that have been sorted quickly once the strong rumours start

Hey, Woodward bought him past his sell by date and imposed him on Ole, not Ronnies fault or Ole's

Does'nt change the fact he is one of the two best players in the world for over two decades and it does'nt look like anyone will replace either of them soon.

You have to call out the small things too. Look how effective boycotts are atm when the little people stand up and say no more.

I assume you are paying Gakpo and Nuni-ez wages of some level so you really can't decry other teams paying players <laugh>

PS... Didn't they both score in the 7-0...? Worth every penny ;)

Maybe, i really couldn't tell you who scored the match was a total farce and the players were made aware of it which is why we finished 3rd and you scraped EL.
Where were they the rest of the season?

Nunez wasn't great (first season in PL, learning the language, in a struggling side, etc) but still had a better season than Rashford's 'greatest year too date' <laugh>

Gakpo joined in January so only had a few months

This whole language thing has me in stitches every time i hear it, how many non English speaking players do you think the average PL team has?
It really held Firmino back and does even to this day <laugh>

How many months does a professional footballer usually need in a foreign land to learn how to put the ball in the net one yard in front of him?

Same with Nunez, he's through on goal oh he's put it 3 yards wide or two yards over.
Yeah, but he can't speak English so it's only to be expected <laugh>
