My dad said it best when he scored the first 'half your team just scored'. We'd be out of the race for CHL if it wasn't for this guy.

When we did have a fully functioning peak team that went up against Barcelona and Madrid, having Ronaldo then would've won us those 2 CL titles because he would've been that little extra something that we needed. Until we get that midfield sorted we need to keep Ronaldo or we'll slide into mediocrity fast.
No, you can't win anything with mediocre players. Even Chelsea and Porto had some outstanding players when they won CL, surrounded by good players but not mediocre by any means. Solid teams with some magic players like Drogba, Lampard, Deco, Carvalho and so many other excellent performers - we are only comparable in defence but not midfield or attack considering that only Ronaldo scores. We need that quality midfield to make this team work together.
We might not win next year, true. I am not saying that. But with CR here we will not win CL either, we'll just be defeated by a team of medicore players like the last 3 years. In the long term keeping CR here will not do any good. We have performed worse as a team since he came here, that's fact. That will not change if he stays, so in order to have a long term outlook on getting back to winning ways, we need to part.
You don't know. we can only immage what our team looked like without CR and maybe the whole was in synsergy.
The only thing that the Cagliari match showed is that someone needs to piss of CR before each match.

And a hundreds of other greats in the past.
Why are people trying to justify a ronaldo sale based on his performances or how he impacts the team? The justification is purely financial...we have no money and he costs 60m before taxes.
If we had money we'd bring in 3 world class midfielders and win the treble with ronaldo leading with 50 goals followed by dybala with 30 goals.

Conclusion based on watching the entire match. We weren't that good. We certainly can't do without Ronaldo for an entire season. Selling him would give us what... 29M? Can't buy shit for that money. The wages would decline massively.. true that.. but we can't buy a WC striker in the next mercato one way or another
People really don't seem to understand that CR has an large impact on the team, both positive as well as negative. In most matches CR was rested we saw some nice link-ups between players, like Kulu, Ramsey and Chiesa, for instence the first 30 minutes against Genuao or against Lazio last week. With CR playing most games, we could never test what would come out of those link-ups for a longer period as the way we play is drastically different when CR plays.
You can not state we will play bad without CR for a whole season because no-one knows. The last time we played a whole season without CR we were still the scudetto and coppa winners, and players like Dybala and Higuain scored +50 goals together.
We might get back to that form without CR. But with CR for the 21/22 season, I foresee a copy-paste of this season.
Would we be kicked out of CL by Dortmund if we have not CR? Don't know, but I'm interested to find out.
Would we be kicked out of CL by Dortmund with CR? Based on the last seasons, that's really likely.
