Always grateful for the 3 great years. He isnt even the problem, but we need to look for other options. He was brought in to get us the CL and it hasn’t happened due to no fault of his own.
Wages of Berna, Rugani, MDS, Dybala, Costa, Rabiot, Ramsey, Bentancur, Bonucci, Arthur etc. cover the payroll of 10 WC players.
Ronaldo is past it, not the guy anymore, but I sure as hell would rather have him than these 10 together. They leave, we replace them with good players, then can worry about CR's wages.
Ronaldo did his part. He did all he could for three years. Our budget is small with him on our payroll. Ironically Beppe would make the most out of that budget. Paratici is a scumbag and terrible at his job. He can’t do a lot with a little unlike Beppe. Paratici will go down in history as someone that underachieved tremendously with the greatest player ever.
He's usually so reliable and focussed in a CL knockout tie but seemed the complete opposite. Don't know what was up with him, maybe playing Portuguese team or against Pepe or he didn't have faith that we'd do it.
