What's the rumored offer? €50M? Jump on that, it would be best for both us and him.
No one in their right mind would offer €50M on top of his enormous wage for someone who'll turn 37 within a year. Let's be realistic here.

If he's leaving, it's likely to be for a very nominal fee or Tici's favorite, a mutual termination of contract.

I'm sure he's tired of being here. Its never been his fault that we are shit and I can understand the frustration but he still owes %110. He gets payed way too much money to give anything else.
His attitude is one thing but in general, his overall game has completely eroded. People need to come to terms with it. He's 36 and its hilarious to see him still running at defenders only to have the ball snatched away from him pretty easily. He can't dribble anymore, his passing is horrendous. He's basically become a liability in our buildup play. Either our players are stupid to continue passing it to him during buildup or maybe it's the arrogance of Ronaldo that makes him think that he can still do things just like the old days or maybe a combination of both.
If he wants to continue playing at the highest level for another couple of years, it's time for him to morph into Pippo Inzaghi and play as a pure poacher CF. Just focus on your off the ball movement and making in runs behind defenders while other players focus on the build up and deliver those passes/crosses which he can get at the end of.

This is one of the most fundamental problems in our team, and a big reason why our build-up play is so poor.

Ronaldo takes too much time on the ball, he is too easily dispossessed, and his dribbles rarely lead to anything these days.

Someone with a lot of emotional intelligence needs to sit Ronaldo down and tell him that he can no longer be involved in our build-up play.

He needs to change his game and become a full-time poacher. He hasn't lost his eye for goal yet.

He still got the speed to come from the 2nd wave. Should put him in the box or just generally being behind the actual attackers. False 9 type, because now he just runs past their line but no passes are going through. All italian teams are defending deep regardless, so there's not that much space.

CR as CF exactly right..but who has the balls to do that Pirlo? we might as well have hired goofy from disneyland in full costume..
ANY style would be better than this garbage. My dog can shit in better style..
The Conte style football when we had Llorente as target man would even suit this team better with CR as CF than the garbage this clown is trying..it doesnt only take ideas it takes balls too and Pirlo has none so CR is uselessn( for the money)
