Cristiano Ronaldo (167 Viewers)

[Snobist]

We did get a substantial increase from Adidas for 10 years. Jeep money was increased too. The shirt sales was not much. For the first 2 years I think we sold ~30m more than usual, according to financial statements (I could be wrong about the exact number but it’s in the ballpark)
It’s true that we couldn’t get the benefits we expected, but it wasn’t a terrible business by any measure.

Compare to 100m fee and 60m salary we got peanuts.

. Always feel we are not good enough for him etc..

In reality the quality ofJuve talent wasn't, they gave him for the most part a sub-par CL title contending group to play with.

Terrible managers as well bar Allegri

The management let him down big time with some of the amautuer decisions since he arrived , so i can understand why he wants to go and i dont think he signed up for a rebuild.

Giving the team a manager last year than never even managed a sunday kids game down the park last season was a huge joke and almost ended up in total disaster.

Iirc Adidas money was a ~27m increase per year. Over 10 years that’s peanuts?

Covid raped us of cash too the past 12 plus months.

100m Fee and 90m in net wages over the past 3 seasons...Ronaldo shouldn't be the one complaining here...or am I miscalculating something and have it all wrong.

 

[Salvo]

If covid didn't happen we would've been fine but yeah it worked out so poorly for us. But yeah I just want a resolution, pass the reigns on to Chiesa and Dybala and get Vlahovic

Paratici was the real covid. Not the virus.

You are wrong. We paid Real 110M and 60M x 3 = 180M for Ronaldo over 3 seasons. 30M is the net wage.

Ronaldo must really be unhappy if he is willing to take that big of a pay cut.

I've had enough of this circus tbh, if it's true he should've said he wanted out a long time ago. Not now.

Maybe he doesn't like the direction the club is heading?

It might be hard to swallow, but there could be legit reasons why he wants out of this place. I could probably name a bunch.

For me everything looks very simple. He wants a CL winning calibre club. We are clearly not of that calibre right now.

That could definitely be a legit reason.

He may have legit reasons to leave and we may have legit reasons to let him go. But I think staying for one season more wasn’t harmful at all. Yes, probably we will not win the CL. But Real Madrid wasn’t expected to win it in 2015-2016 after the Benitez’s disaster. I’m sure he wants to leave because he believes that Messi has a great probability of winning the CL at PSG and he doesn’t.

Messi moving to PSG surely messed with his ego. The midget got a real shot at CL/ballon d’or glory again while Ronaldo playing for this poor ass Juventus would be lucky to reach the quarter finals.

This. He doesn’t wanna be remembered not winning shit at the end of his career while Messi could be the best in the world for a number of years.

 

[X Æ A-12]

He doesn't want to play in a side that isn't competitive in Europe and we can't afford to pay his wages. Its shitty but CR7 and suitors got our balls in a vice grip. .

I wouldn't be surprised if we tried to sell him but other clubs knew all they had to do was wait us out.

I don't see a way that this ends particularly well for Juventus.

Who's taking the freekicks at City?

 

[Espectro]

You know whats funny...

I never though I'll see the day where somebody propose an exchange between Gabriel Jesus and Cristiano Ronaldo and the other part said.. naaaah I prefer to keep Gabriel Jesus...

Talk about a strange transfer window...

It’s not even just direction, positive or negative overall. Even if we’re getting younger and building a more promising future than we had a couple years ago, so perhaps a positive in that sense. We are a big negative from the perspective of Ronaldo as we don’t align with any version of a Ronaldo timeline for being a top CL contender.

Lol when I saw like 30 new pages in the thread. Best luck ever CR7, however we shouldn't bend for city or CR7
