It's wierd. Man U have signed some good players this summer, in positions they needed them, but you still always had the question of whether they would really progress significantly or still feel like a work in progress, great in some games and drab in others (See the first two league games for evidence). For some reason the Ronaldo transfer has a different aura and would give me as a Man U Fan greater confidence. Say what you like about him, the man is a born winner.

A commercial masterstroke, and I say that with no snide whatsoever. Having CR7 on the books will more than pay for his wages and transfer fee, and indeed will go a little bit towards chipping away at that $1bn debt. On the field, he still takes one of the best free kicks in the world and is as big an airial threat as anyone in Europe. He still keeps one or two defenders occupied at all times, and though he isn't the Ronaldo of even tive years ago, I do think he could be the same catalyst to Uniturd as Cantona was. However, he's playing for Ole - that should thankfully **** everything up. :bandit:

Hmmmm I'm slightly confused that you think messi or Ronaldo would fit in with every side but ours.
Not what I said at all? I said Messi would suit us more (with no comments on other clubs; he might suit us more than Man U), and I'm sure Ronaldo would do a job for us. Just think Man U and Chelsea would be more suited from style of play; Man City perhaps less so but they might adjust if need be.

Sorry, I just don't really see how either of them would fit in any of the top 6 to be honest. Work rate, pressure and helping the team are a must at the top end of the prem. I'm unsure how Ronaldo standing upfront gesticulating is going to help them, it certainly wouldn't help city or Chelsea.

Maybe a talisman for arsenal, bit for anybody who are decent hrs worse than what they've got.
 
His shirt sales will pay his wages the first few months. After that... He is going to be very expensive player indeed. I hope he's not worth it. <laugh>

As far as I’m aware doesn’t matter how many more shirts United sell they don’t get any extra than the 75m from Adidas. If they sel more shirts then Adidas get more money is all.

not like us where we’ve taken a lower lump sum but with a % of money for shirt sales made.

Talking of which, I still can't get a fat bastard size in the new away shirt. Shades of the Anfield shop being closed the day after Istanbul here. :angry:

City have Jesus, or they play without a striker. Jesus vs. Ronaldo?

Chelsea do have Lukaku, but Ronaldo would at the very least give them a back up.

Man U have Martial, Greenwood and Cavani. I'd say Ronaldo improves them.

With us he'd be replacing Firmino, whose job he couldn't or wouldn't do, or Jota, who he could replace. From a purely footballing aspect, he would be an inprovement over Origi.
 
You are legally wrong, Even on social media accusing someone of being such a serious criminal is libellous and would instantly take you to court. It’s not opinion.

The claimant would need to establish with evidence, that the publication has caused or is likely to cause serious reputational damage – this is the standard requirement of any defamation claim under section 1(1) of the Defamation Act 2013.


Im Not entirely sure that a poster calling someone a rapist on a football forum sene by about 30 people would cause some serious reputations damage tbh <whistle>

this is just a total lie

For info

Between 09 and 18, he scored 33 goals from 444 attempts 7.3% conversion.
after joining Juve he scored 1 from 72 attempts which is 1.4% conversion

The average conversion rate in the prem is 9.2%

The Juve fans and players even openly make jokes about him not scoring from them

So he is due a few then ?
 
Well, just shows what a disruptive influence Ronnie is all round.
The (generally) harmless banter on here has descended into something altogether darker.

Can verify this even from a fan boy point of view.
His free kicks are more often than not ****, the thing is, when one does go in it's usually a screamer that gets loads of re-plays.

Would much rather have Ward-prowse or Irwin taking them

Man's ****ing good at penalties though, real competition for Bruno.

They'd have been better buying Harry Wilson. :)
