I can't count the amount of times i've seen players like Morata, Chiesa or Kulusevski in a position to finish when instead they passed it to CR7 where he would score or miss it. It frustrates me to see someone so hungry for personal success, limit the team he's playing in. It has only gotten worse as he is ageing.

So? Tuttosport is owned by Agnelli's and they're shit.

Repubblica is cheap drivel.

Unless it is coming from Romano, GDM, Agresti, Sky and in some cases Gazetta it is bullshit more likely than not
Tuttosport is not owned by the Agnelli's. Only Repubblica and La Stampa.

And that's not the point, if they didn't like these reports, both Agnelli and Allegri, they would've stopped the publisher or at least denied it.

He was definitely not the problem here. You pay him for goals and he gave you goals. If he wants to play #9 then stay, if not then it's time to go, I'm afraid.

Why do people insist Allegri wants Ronaldo gone lol? There is absolutely no proof of that whatsoever
Why? reasons could be many. Perhaps he wouldn't want a player that's difficult to manage? You can't bench him, you can't take him off, nothing. Controversy is everywhere.

Maybe the coach would like to be the biggest authority in the locker room? See Gasperini and Gomez.

Or maybe he'd prefer to have that cash spent elsewhere? We all know very well that Allegri wanted to spend cash for midfielders, instead the management brought Ronaldo. How it turned out, we all know by now.

Let's see what happens but with Allegri we don't need Ronaldo to win the league. Plus, to compete in Europe, we need a cohesive and upgraded team, gotta fund it somehow.

Luckily we'll find out soon...

Ronaldo is a surplus to many tactics, and he hasn't proven able to become a centre forward and hold on to the ball. You can only play him as a left winger in a system that asks for other players to not fully commit in the offensive phase, as they need to cover for their superstar. Add to that you can't sub him off for whatever reason the manager has. He's bigger than the manager, and thats a huge problem!
Holding onto the ball is the only way to play CF? Ronaldo works just fine in Serie A as a left wing/SS. It's the CL where the last 2 coaches struggled to adjust. Allegri is the one capable of adjusting tactics depending on opponent, and making use of his squad. Watch it next season on display if both are here

About as much evidence as the claim that Dybala wants 15 million, but you pick and choose what you want to believe.

The rumour that Allegri wants to get rid of Ronaldo is very inconvenient for your narrative, despite the fact that it makes a lot of sense.
