Cristiano Ronaldo (158 Viewers)

He should have left for Sporting when he had the chance IMO. Trying to cheat on the age never really worked for anyone. In Portugal he'd play in a league that would prolong his career in an adequate way, he'd score a lot of goals and that's the only thing he cares about anyway.

In EPL he looks so past it, not even funny anymore.

I think his goal stats are still somewhat holding up, but he's definitely not the same Ronaldo he was when he first played for MU.

You don’t need stats to know all this one mate.

sure, I just went on redcafe looking for some delicious tears and saw this surprisingly sensible summary of Ronaldo's decline, thought I'd share

Really? I haven't seen a single game of his this season but I thought he was carrying them? Especially in the Champions League.

Well, he's a poacher like no one else out there, he knows to to score from very little he gets. Other than that he drags them with his sheer willingness and competitiveness. That stuff can get you only so far, he's not the same player anymore. United are suffering from the same disease Juve did: everyone plays for Ronaldo, nobody takes responsibility anymore. For sure many of their fans think otherwise but luckily it's not our problem.

In Portugal he'd score shitload of goals, in EPL they're on a downward spiral.

I haven't watched him closely this season but his passing with Juve was second only to his free-kicks in terms of disappointing. How a legendary forward could misplace so many passes, I'd certainly not seen that of him before. Sometimes it was absolutely amateurish.

Just needs to be stuck in the box now to get on the end of chances. Tbh he could probably do that at 40, he doesn't need to do the other things.

 

[BayernFan]

United signing this guy was purely out of emotions and because they could get him on a discount. So short sighted.

What is he gonna do if they miss out on the CL?

This is such a hard pill to swallow if you take his salary in consideration.

Im glad that this chapter is over. Was really cool seeing this legend in our shirt but it’s undeniable that it’s very difficult to implement him in your team. Basically everything has to be perfect in order to serve him with chances and cover his low workrate.

Man Utd have no excuse because they have tons of money. Had Juve the same amount we may have built a team around Ronaldo.

Yep. They invested the double of what we invested. Crazy difference.

with tici in charge? come on. we had enough money and he spent loads on mediocre players. we could have had players like barella for less than we spent on our shitty mids.

 

[JuveJay]

We'd have continued to waste money the way Woodward did, but the difference is they can do it for the next 15 years and eventually will get it right.

They've been one of the biggest spenders. Its crazy to think that they still can't get their act together.

instead of paying big salaries to Ramsey, Bentancur, Arthur and Rabiot we could have bought 1 or 2 quality Midfielders. Players like Ramsey, Bentancur, Arthur and Rabiot really dragging juve down.

Tici had tons of money too and he blew it

Truth however if JJ did it for the next 25 years they still wouldn't get it right

Its not that easy in the EPL because there are other teams that can spend the same so you also need some footballing knowledge to win there.

a pro tip to rise again would be to stop buying inflated shit from EPL and rob other leagues flexing their economic muscles.
That's what I'd do.

So butthurt the arrogance of this guy
