I swear 10 years ago you’d have been castigated on here for posting Caught Offside or Tribal Football, everyone knew what shite they are. Now every single source or twisted tweet from an aggregator account seems to barely be questioned?

Sporting have a favourable Champions League draw. I wonder if CR7 sees an opportunity to extend his CL goals record and has been waiting for this draw
I'd say it's quite difficult - Europa League winners, 2nd best French team and Spurs?

Yep, 3 teams he’d almost certainly sees as easy picking for individual goals and a reasonable chance of qualifying as an underdog on top helps.

Yes, the global brand Cristiano Ronaldo will give up on his guaranteed £25M salary and Premier League exposure to play for.... Sporting Lisbon, when their highest earner is Trincão with £3M & play in a league that averages less viewers than Sky Bet Championship. Makes sense.

When it's advertised that he's willing to cut his wages to play Champions League football.... it's not by 80%. Maybe 20%, at most. There's a very small list of clubs who can pay his wages. That's why all these rumors about him being rejected by the likes of Marseille is funny. It's not even on the table for them to reject.

People here just go with whatever report they want to be true. It could have been written by a kindergartener and they’d believe it if it suits the right narrative.

Sporting are lacking a quality 9. Paulinho's a 1 in 3 guy for Braga and Sporting which is not very impressive for a 9 on those teams in that league.

IF he takes a massive paycut, it's not completely insane.

I think he would definitely take the pay cut.
He turned down a huge offer from the middle east and could just stay at United if he was just in it for the money at this stage.

They also got a good group stage (Frankfurt, Marseille, Spurs) that gives them a chance to quality.

I guess he could also move in January or last minute accept the big middle east offer for the money if there's not a good CL move on the table.

Somehow certain news outlets will twist this to him being rejected even though his words depict the opposite by mentioning Halaand and KDB.

Spending the Antony money on Leao would be amazing honestly. He's a future world beater

So just a story of Mendes trying to get Napoli to bite rather than the other way round. Nothing in it, they won't be so stupid.

He's all out of options.

Aurelio, you old slag. It's the Mendmeister general. Have you bought a striker yet? No? Good, don't bother. I've got the man here. He's perfec'. Will he do pressing? He invented pressing. [winks at Ronaldo and does the Pinocchio growing nose gesuture] Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's good around the dressing room, yeah. We'll get a highlights reel over to you this afternoon. I'm seeing you Sunday, aren't I? For my sins? How is Kalidou? He left you yet? ......... Yep, alright, see you then. (Hangs up the phone) He has left him. I forgot about that.

Please get a deal over the line, it's clear that it's best for all concerned. He's still got a lot to offer in the right system, and he's far better suited to Serie A

Part of me wants fecking rid of him.

The other part of me wants to see his sour puss as we play him against AEK Larnaca so we can rest our starters.
