Still want him gone? :baus:
i guess most of those who want him out have no issues with his goals, they have issues with his age, salary, privileged untouchable status, freekicks and stuff like this

if we had a healthy dybala it could have been a different season with both ronaldo and morata getting more rest, fresher legs, and kulu with a much more comfortable learning curve. but it is what it is.

It's Cristiano fucking Ronaldo, he has earned it.

Pointless mentioning his scoring record and comparing to others. He is simply one of the greatest and earning what he does is well deserved.

However...as a club we are financially crippled due to covid and in a summer where we need to improve midfield and make so many changes...how can we justify keeping him?

If you earn $200k a year and your wife spends like you earn $500k a year...you cancel her credit card and change internet banking passwords.

It's unfair for us to have this player at a time where we can't afford him.

It's not about the financial part that I want him gone.
He doesn't participates in team's pressing. The game has changed. We need all 10 outfield players run and press like madman getting forward and defending. Ronaldo doesn't do that and this hurt us in big games.

I still appreciate what he has done for this club but he doesn't get any younger. Best time to sell him before his value totaly decreases.

fair enough, generally people dont dislike Ronaldo. At least thats my assesment. I think its more about the team, his role and the financial future of our squad

Agreed but neither does Dybala. Best to sell both of them in a year or two and build a team with a more modern outlook.
