TBH, I still fail to see the big picture of CR7's arrival. Yes, I know about his online presence and so forth. But if that was the entire point we could have signed Brad Pitt. I suppose on-field success was where the stakes were at. Surely COVID was not expected, and with hindsight we wouldn't have pulled it off...
Anyway still don't understand the point of trading players, without a significant upgrade of the team's quality and then putting a CR7 in front to solve it all.
The owners must either choose to continue the short term project 'Win CL win CR7' or start building a younger team. Either way it will cost a lot, but thats the norm these days. I am talking about the CL in particular - Italy we could probably handle as we are.
