Barry was at least decent, half the posters here were pining for james Mccarthy.Glory days, where even someone like Barry was talked about as a decent signing

Agreed.Ronaldo has a minimum of 2 good seasons in him.
If he genuinely wants to leave and is open to returning for a year or two then I would find it hard to believe all parties couldn't make a loan happen - we pay his full wages but no transfer fee.Agreed.
That's why I wouldn't have a problem paying his wages, but a huge transfer fee is out of the question, for me.
Why would Madrid ever agree to that?If he genuinely wants to leave and is open to returning for a year or two then I would find it hard to believe all parties couldn't make a loan happen - we pay his full wages but no transfer fee.
Because he wants to leave and there aren't going to be any clubs willing to pay his transfer fee. We wont, PSG have FFP problems, and the others can't afford him.Why would Madrid ever agree to that?
That seems like very naive thinking to me.Because he wants to leave and there aren't going to be any clubs willing to pay his transfer fee. We wont, PSG have FFP problems, and the others can't afford him.
Completely agree.The Cafe's view on Ronaldo is just ridiculous. What's more astounding is that it was the same for a few seasons, and he keeps destroying teams. Season after season people are like too old, don't want or show a preference for far inferior players, and season after season he's keeps on being the best player in the world. It's one of the wonders of this site, surely? He'd probably rather stay/go somewhere else, so all this is mute anyway, but it's just funny!
For what Juve (20-25M in Euros after a 1.5M loan) paid, probably. For what we would have paid, nah.Juan Cuadrado looked good against Poland is he worth a shot.
For me it’s that I don’t like the idea of him spending his prime years at Madrid then coming back to us once they’re done with him. I’m also put out by the way he’s used us as leverage for new deals at Madrid over the years.The Cafe's view on Ronaldo is just ridiculous.

Yeah but Willian runs around a lot and occasionally does a good cross!!1!Willian is shite. I hope we stay clear of him. For a RW his output is nowhere near good enough for what you would expect from a title winning team. We don't score enough goals as it is now. The team needs someone capable of getting double figures in goals or assists from the wing.
For me there are two options:Yeah but Willian runs around a lot and occasionally does a good cross!!1!
Oh I agree with you fully. I was being sarcastic in my earlier post. Willian is not the player who will elevate us to major honours.For me there are two options:
Either we invest in a upcoming young RW like Pulisic, Malcolm, Bailey etc, we could've even pick Gelson Martins up on a free. There are a lot of options. Players with world class potential and develop them for the next 2/3 years.
OR we spend big on a marquee signing like Bale/Ronaldo ie the finished product and build the team around that player. Someone with the X factor. Someone we know that will be the star player in our title challenge. Something Willian has never been 5 years at Chelsea. They won the title twice in 14/15 and 16/17 and both seasons Willian was never automatic stater. The stars of 14/15 were Hazard and Costa and again in 16/17. How can you rely on someone like this to spearhead our title challenge? He is a squad player and a very good squad player but not a starter.
My preference is the first one.
All the title winning teams have had wide players that got into double figures for either goals or assists or both and a striker who does the same. See Sterling last season, see Hazard in 14/15, Mahrez in 15/16. When was the last time we had a player that was reliable like these players?
I know you were being sarcastic. I'd question your judgement if you wasn't.Oh I agree with you fully. I was being sarcastic in my earlier post. Willian is not the player who will elevate us to major honours.
Only a fool would say he's not worth getting him for a couple of years for that, alas it's goal.com quoting someone I've never heard of before
Source:It's all over here in Spain, in all the media: the source is Eduardo Inda from OkDiario, with close ties to Real's board and Florentino. I don't think Inda would say this if Florentino wouldn't want to. Tonight in El Chiringuito sure it will be confirmed or dismissed.
Offers are not lacking because he has four on the table: Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Milan , although the penalty imposed by UEFA on Wednesday to the Italians leaves them without options to sign CR7.
You need to remember that a lot of people on here are either very young and/or know very little about football. They honestly believe that a 22 yr old player is better than Ronaldo or Messi, just because of age and that once over the age of 24, the player is preparing to retire.The Cafe's view on Ronaldo is just ridiculous.

Oh yeah, I was talking about the release clause info itself. No news about an United interest at all so far.Source:
