I agree that he looks heavy when he runs, he looked lighter and faster in his first stint here. He bulked up. Before he seemed more like a wide forward, attacking with pace from the sides, the way he moves now still looks like it but without the pace. More of a CF with how he can create space with his body, but his touch isn't that of a great CF imo. He seems to struggle in tight spaces centrally.
It’s common knowledge that it was Ronaldo who forced a move last minute. Now you can say that Cherubini should’ve blocked it knowing the quality of the team we had is terrible, and that is reasonable. But Ronaldo’s financial burden was too much that I understand if Cherubini did not have the last word on that matter.
Cherubini or Agnelli it's all the same. Ronaldo can't break his contract. The list of examples were players were made to stay is endless.
The burden was either too much or it wasn't. That doesn't change throughout the preseason. If the burden of his contract was so high then you sell him early to get rid of it, not wait till the last moment.
This is amateurish planning and it created a toxic environment in the club and fanbase right at the start of the season. The whole excitement of signing a top coach and a very promising midfielder was crushed just like that.
