Absolute terrific today. When will we see nice offensive football ? He would scores braces and hattricks with a good team behind him like in Real Madrid and in Portugal.
As great as it is having him here, I fear his purchase may have been a mistake due to the money required. €60M a year from the club is crazy money, I hope we still have some wiggle room.
I guess it could still work out in the long term, which is always better anyway.

Again, if you have CR7 and you don’t win ECL, you are considered a footballing failure of the season. Last year we got that title. This year, I hope it is different.

I disagree. Now the big thing is fan retention which is built off attaching his fans to other players on our squad. For me I started watching because of Edgar Davids but very quickly Nedved became my favorite. At some point you start to be a fan of the team.
I dont think we are doing a great job of getting fans to stay with our play but also bringing in a top talent will help that a lot. I dont think its out of the realm of possibility
You need money for long lasting results. You need players for results. You need marketable p[layers for money. Vicious circle but at least we are now on the merry-go-round instead of on the sideline hoping. Once we are big enough we can make big purchases regularly.
It's because they had CL success once. You gotta keep winning the competition alla Barcelona and Real Madrid to retain popularity. A rare CL win doesn't mean much. People forget quickly.
