I know it's not a thing, so don't @me...
But I really wouldn't want Ronaldo at our place (WHU). I've seen him play in the flesh in Madrid, and I can barely recall watching a player who contributes so little for 88 minutes a game.
The modern prem is (mostly) a dynamic 11 man game. I think he'd be an albatross around any teams' neck.
I'm not sure which of the north west clubs I'd most like to see him at...

It's ok, I've provided a handy diagram to show what he does contribute...

goals.PNG :LOL:
 
Anyone Utd supporter who thought he would go to City is deluded.
He has so much respect for Utd and Sir Alex he would just never have done it.
If the rumours are correct and he signs it’s a game changer.

I don’t think you can ever rule anything out in the crazy world of football but, given the United legacy, a move to City would have been very odd.

I don’t watch Italian football so not sure how good he looked last season,but when he was linked with City I genuinely thought he’d have had a negative effect on them.

He won’t have a negative effect on Utd I believe he will give everyone a lift.
Certainly not the player of old but easily still top 3 in the premiership.

He imo would have improved City but don’t believe it was ever on.
 
Fantasy football just took a massive twist!!

Surely though money wise (with his wages etc) it would have been cheaper to buy Kane?

Not sure that's right. Even if they're paying him £500k a week that's £52 million over the two year contract. Would've cost three times that just for Kane's transfer fee without even considering wages.

He’s the GOAT for me,will be interesting to see how he does in the prem now.
Imagine his first game at OT ?

Kane will last longer than Ronaldo tho .. altho Ronaldo is a class signing

Wonder who will go for halland next year .. wonder if him being available cheap next year is what's stopping Kane moving as teams willing to wait for him to save cash for a younger olayer
 
I've seen both him and Messi in the flesh play and I've always preferred watching Messi ..

Not to say I wouldnt want Ronaldo with us ofc! I understand what you mean but at say city he would bang in the goals but at a team where he has to do all the work again he might be that bit too old
I think I like watching Messi, but if I had to pick a player to win I go with Ronald. He might be the best player I have seen on TV, and I have seen Maradonna. But he doesn’t come across as very likeable.

There was a program about the psychological value of his power stance pre set pieces. If I had his body I would do it on the tee ;-)

Yet his set piece conversation rate (free kicks) is awful these days
