We shouldn't forget that he's played simply too much this season. At the age of 36 he maintained his condition in a much better way than Morata and Dybala did. CR7 is like a robot but then again, it's human that he slowed down. 36 years old, ffs.
That's true. I also wouldn't be surprised if we hear about some ongoing injury issue(s) once the season is done. Players and clubs like to keep these things quiet unless it puts players out of games.

How many times has he costed us points the same way by missing crucial chances, losing the ball due to pathetic unsuccessful dribbling attempts or not passing when he should, nevermind that he just walks around without giving a shit when things don’t go our way?... Nobody is denying he is decisive but he is no savior, he is being paid to score such goals but when you fail to meet objectives as a team then you can’t label anyone a savior to anything unless you are a delusional fanboy that thinks CR7 has done no wrong.

let’s stop prerending he is not weighting on our game due to his selfishness and bigger than the club mentality, he is doing what any top striker is supposed to do which is to score several goals and he is doing just that, albeit while causing us points in others and leaving the impression he couldn’t give less of a shit about Juventus and that he would leave at the first chance he gets if an lucrative offer eventually comes in. May i remind everyone we brought him for CL? We could have finished outside top 4 in Seria A even without him or his record of Seria A goals that couldn’t even lead us to a Scudetto we never lost in 10 years lol

You can see both sides of the glass without being delusional or labelling anyone as a savior, ofc the good outweighs the bad in CR7’s case, but he is no savior and we need to move on unless we start suddenly building a ‘galacticos’ team around him which won’t happen.
Dude, you just outright lied about the stat padding thing. And then you moved the goalposts immediately and pretended you didn’t. Stop making out like you’re the objective one here.

And lol. Of course he’s not perfect, but he’s won us far more points than any other player in this side, and has cost us very few points over the 3 years with “crucial misses”. And CL? He literally scored every single knockout goal this team had in 6 matches, 2 years, before this one. It’s not his fault the team around him played like hot garbage so we got knocked out. He did his job, everything he could to drag us through the two seasons before this one.

Your post is god-awful. Giving the impression he couldn’t give a shit about being here? You an expert body language reader now? A mind reader? He’s said nothing of the sort that would suggest this. And walks around not giving a shit? Lol.

But you have your opinion, I have mine. He’s the very least of our problems. If you can’t see that you’re as delusional as those calling him a “saviour”.

I feel like he's become more of a Trezeguet where he's mostly only effective in the penalty area. His general play is so poor and has been for weeks now, shit, I'd even say months, with the odd quality game from him. Gone is that player of old who would beat players in a wide area again and again. His legs can't do it anymore. Not only that but he struggles to do things a far lesser player would do like receiving or making a pass or protecting the ball. Yet he still has a load of goals. Without them you could say we'd be in a far worse state, that is obvious, but it is also his job. He's the overwhelmingly main focus of the attack, he takes all penalties and free-kicks, and his partners are soyboy flops and Chiesa, who has ploughed his own furrow all season long.

I think his goals tally is remarkable for a player of his age, but also we have to realise that he is still 36. He's cut a frustrated figure at times with his gesticulations over a chance he can't believe he's missed. Ronaldo of old wouldn't have 27 league goals this season he would have 40, even in this team. Mostly they would be from hat-tricks instead of his braces of goals, but there should have been a few more winners, such as last week against Fiorentina, the miss against Torino also comes to mind. I read recently that he had missed over 30 big chances by April this season. That's unlike him, even for players who take a lot of shots.
sounds like a lot of words for a player that has gone through a rough patch (to his standards not scoring in 2 conescutive games is a rough patch lol)

watch him obliterate milan and atalanta with some great displays to make you eat your words.

lmao talk about triggered :lol:

He isn’t the main problem at all but it is ignorant and delusional from you to think that he is not part of it at the very least.

- - - Updated - - -

Also he did cost us even against Fiorentina the other week (without bothering to do any additional research) and shown a shitty attitude throughout that match or do you only watch stats instead of the game itself?

Imagine suggesting there’s nothing wrong with CR7’s attitude and nonchalance on the pitch when things don’t go his way(which most often it doesn’t because of the shitty supporting cast behind him), like seriously...

You don’t need to be an expert body reader to tell that he is more interested in his personal records and accolades and as long as he gets to add/pile up on those what happens to the team overall is just background noise for him in times like this because he gets to save face despite the team underperforming with him as part of it... in a way understandable as this is what driven him to become the best afterall, but that still doesn’t mean he should be free of criticism when he doesn’t set his priorities straight in the full benefit of the team.

yeah, with that notion i already heard it all for today so as you said, i might have exaggerated a bit in the heat of the moment as he definitely been more than decisive with his goals for us over the course of the season but certainly not as free of guilt for some of the bad results either as some here tend to portray it, anyway you have your opinion and i have mine so let’s just not cross paths on this subject anymore as its a major waste of time for both of us.

Quick search shows he is already Juves 9th best scorer in international cups (Del Piero 54, Trezeguet 30, Inzaghi 27, Baggio 22, Bettega 21, Platini 20, Ravanelli 20, Dybala 15, CR 14), and he is 6th best in Champions League/Champions Cup alone (Del Piero 44, Trezeguet 28, Platini 17, Inzaghi 17, Dybala 15, CR 14). In 23 games played. Surely he will be behind only DP-Trez in CL next season. If numbers are wrong do correct them, anyone. So he does this without the billion team you mentioned

If he stays 3-4 more years he will be clubs 2nd best scorer behind Del Piero overall. Hes at 99 goals in less than 3 seasons already. 0.77 goals per game. Out of all the players that played 3 games or more for Juve ever, only Pietro Pastore at 0.80 goals per game (51 goals in 64 games) and Ferenc Hires at 1.11 goals per game (49 goals in 44 games), who both played here last time in 1927, have better goals per game average. Stats from TM. If he scores 3 more in Serie A this season he will be 1st player in God knows how long to score 30+ in consecutive Serie A seasons. He keeps doing extraordinary things in a mediocre team as well
He does what without the billion $ team I mentioned go around defenders in serie A? What about those 4 CLs he keeps being stat padded with did he win those with Ramsey and Rabiot or with the galacticos?
Nobody can deny the guy is up there with the greatest but that doesn't mean he is a ammune demigod like some posts here suggest.
My point is not to criticize him but to call a spade a spade.

- Ronaldo looks frustrated and that's understandable, his team mates let him down all season
- He is allowed to have a dip in form considering the minutes he has played
- He is a professional, he understands that not many will accommodate him like Juventus has so its in his best interest to help the team, build his records and stats etc.
- The way Perez chopped him and gave Modric the Golden Ball shows him that his influence is on the pitch, not in politics so the club will always be bigger than the man
- We can find players to fill Dybala's shoes but Ronaldo, that'll be difficult

Can hardly disagree with any of those points tbh. :tup:

As i was saying in previous posts aswell, the good certainly outweights the bad in his case, by quite a margin even, but what i expect more from him is to be in the service for the team with the same level of determination that he has for his own personal accolades, team needs to be as united and as cohesive possible to see off this end of the season on a positive and there’s simply no place for tantrums or individual priorities at this stage, nor from him or anyone else for that matter.

Still think we should let him go, better for both sides.

Now when we're done with that, Ricky was an industry plant while Enrique had that pure talent. He is the son of Julio, also a famous singer from Spain which he held a concert in Kazakhstan and nobody came.

10 years later we can look upon this period in time where Juve was attractive enough for the best player to ever touch football.

But it is also the period that juve finally affirm that it is a club with loser mentality.
