I think he’s pissed at Florentino Pérez courting Neymar. Nothing 10 or 15 million more a year won’t cure.
Cristiano Ronaldo - performances 2017/18
- Thread starter SirAF
- Start date
Anyway he's 33 not 34 
Maybe. If there's truth to what he's saying though, I reckon it's MLS, China/Japan or a shocking retirement. I would be more shocked if he signed for another european club.
Just watched this, thought i'd share, it's a great watch and just to see how unplayable he was at times is breathtaking, i'm 26 so this guy was my footballing idol growing up (along with Henrik Larsson) and he was just genuinely on another level, imo the greatest player to ever play in the premier league all around
It's crazy that he was doing it at such a young age too. Took the responsibility and pressure of being the main for United at 21 years old. We rave about young stars like Sane, Sterling in the premier league today but he was genuinely operating in a different stratosphere.
Wonder how much 21-23 year old Ronaldo would go for in today's market knowing you would get 10+ seasons of otherworldly football out of him.

If Neymar is worth over 200m, Ronaldo at 23 should be worth 500m+
What Ronaldo did for Utd in his 6 years here is equal or better than most top players' whole careers. On top of that, he's got another 9 years at Real Madrid, fecking hell.
Those weren't too bad either
Those 9 years alone are better than almost all the footballers ever.
Basically his time at Madrid has been so good that if he started his career when he moved there at 24 and none of his United career even happened, his position amongst the greats would hardly be any different.
Or if he retired at 24 after his United career, he would still be in the conversation for being one of the best players of the generation.
His peak at United for example despite not being his ABSOLUTE peak, was still better than someone like maybe Henry at his best.

If you're basing that on his 2.5 - 3 world class years at United, I disagree. That debate has been had on the Caf.
The greatest player to have played in the PL? Yeah probably. As much of an all time great he is, says more about the PL that he's the only one to have played here for a significant amount of time.

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! @FC Ronaldo
Penaldo
Amazing performance so far.
Playing really really well. Every play by him has been good. Don't really seem create as much as he does with Madrid as he does with Portugal, nice to see that he still has that creative side in him at his age.
Again!! SIIIIIIIIIIIII @FC Ronaldo @Cal?
Different breed
His speed on the breaks they had was incredible.
Proving age is just a number.
FFS, what a killer he is. Kind of wish he was spanish as we only lack a very good forward like him to put the ball in the net.
fecking brilliant so far. Carrying Portugal on his shoulders.
Happy for Ronaldo but feel sorry for Dave...
What a man!
Has been brilliant, lot more involved in the NT
WorldViva x2
Poor Dave
Just getting the mistakes out of his system for Spain
If he hadn't scored a single goal, it would have been a great first half. His one touch passing is underrated
GOAT
He's not doing too badly is he!
Viva Ronaldo
Great Ronaldo!
Suck on that, you diving ....
A dive and a terrible shot with DDG having a clanger is not a great performance.
He’s plaued better
He’s plaued better
He may regret that wink since the player he cheated scored that beauty.
He scores three goals and nobody gets surprised.
Legendary player.
Legendary player.
