Anyone thinks he's gonna make problems re free kicks? I mean both Pjanic and Dybala are superior but CR is CR and...you know.

I think the freekick taking competition will be hot next year, I think all three of them will have a crack at it, hopefully they manage to discuss it like adults when all 3 are on pitch. Often enough only 2 of them will play though, Ronaldo got rested plenty in La Liga last year and Dybala usually misses a lot of games through injury
I expect Ronaldo to take all the crappy, not-likely-to-score freekicks from 30+ meters out or from sides of the pitch, he always tried those at Real and Portugal while the good ones sometimes went to others as well, Bale and James are pretty solid freekick takers too

What I expect regarding Free Kicks is that at the beginning he might try first few shots, but if it doesn't go well, he will probably shoot the ones from larger distance, but positioned in center, so he could still score a goal. He has a dynamite in his feet.
Whet your appetite:
Look at those f***ing distances!!! Amazing player!!!

for sure he's going to take some of them as well, especially if he's the one who draws the foul. which sucks a bit, because Pjanic and Dybala indeed are miles ahead when it comes to Del Piero zone freekicks, but then again we expect Ronaldo to be the leader and taking responsibility with crucial freekicks comes with that
Hoping he doesn't turn up with a belly on August 1st like our previous record signing did 
Heh, if anything, he would probably show up more fit and prepared than most of our players. Someone here said that while he is/was in Greece on his vacation, he was getting up early and started to warm up and train at 6:30 a.m. Dedication, professionalism... Hungrierthanever
talking of which, we need to sell Higgy fast, I'm worrying he might be in a really bad shape mentally and therefore physically after Argentinas exit
Also not to forget how Ronaldo influences the team he plays for. You have to know all Juve players also recognize Ronaldo as the best player in the world and now he will be their teammate ! Wouldn't you yourself also want to put 120% efforts in playing better? I dont want to bring up Ronaldo to 'king' status, but I do truly believe that his teammates want to perform better, just because they feel honored to play with him together and want to prove that they are also the best!
Meh. Success rate of 6.25%
To compare: Pjanic has 14.47% and Dybala fucking 21.05% (!!!)

Agree, he should be the undisputed number 1 penalty taker. Regarding free kicks, there is another matter - to most of us, Pjanic and Dybala are better free kick takers than him, and rightfully so. Ronaldo would see this with his own eyes in training, and giving his nature, his constant fighting spirit to be the best at everything, I bet he`s gonna work really hard to imrpove his FK`s and eventually take some. I think the first few free kicks will be his, both Dybala and Pjanic would give him the ball, if he misses them, I guess Cristiano would be the one to give the ball back to them. We`ll see...
