And rightfully so...and this is exactly why the release will never be granted. Instead of selling to a rival he would go for free. Thats madness...
He has always been a twat in fairness. We took him back like idiots and he completely fecked up our season.
I would probably enjoy watching Havertz and Mount's stats go through the floor because Ronaldo is constantly occupying the space they want to move into.
Hope we wouldnt be stupid enough to let that happen.
Given the sheer lack of interest from the Elite for someone of his stature and caliber over the last 2 summers, I'd say we're in a lot closer place than you think
I knew it.
It was reported by that Man Utd fella who has ties to Ronaldo that he had an agreement with Chelsea already before Tuchel personally vetoed the move. Think a Chelsea move is a nonstarter even on a free since Tuchel rightly believes it'd be a wrong fit and would have negative ramifications in his dressing room
The Sainz bloke? Wouldnt rule it out still as Boehly wants to make a marquee signing apparently.
We signed him on a 2+1 so we should activate the 3rd year now and put his fee up tell Chelsea we’ll see for £25M plus Kante that’s a good deal
What are the odds that Barca nip in and nick him from Chelsea like they did with kounde and raphinha?
Yea I wrote Man Utd and it got changed to Man Utd automatically
If you start letting any player...let alone Ronaldo...out of contracts you cant sell so they can move on for free anywhere you are opening a massive pandoras box for years to come. I would actually imagine other clubs would be pissed at the precedent.
I just dont want to see that move happen at all.Yea I wrote Man Utd and it got changed to Man Utd automatically
Don't think Boehly would impose a signing on his manager yet, he's already learning the hard way how the football business is this summer.
I doubt Tuchel is there after the World Cup anyway, Chelsea are having a shocking summer and look woefully underprepared for the new season and in saying that I am basically paraphrasing Tuchel himself. If Boehly can get a brand name like CR7 for free to market his new team back in the states he is going to tell Tommy to have a coke and a smile and shut up.Yea I wrote Man Utd and it got changed to Man Utd automatically

he won’t suit their system at all
He'd hurt their system more than help it and cause dressing room unrest as he'd demand to play anyway
Spot on
We've replaced Rudi with Koulibali. We've replaced Lukaku with Sterling. We've replaced Saul with Gallagher.
Well if he’s going to end up there anyway (and I agree it’s more likely to be there than Atlético or Bayern) we might as well get a fee.
Most of our fans like to live in the delusion that we've not had the worst summer of the top 6.
Great, perfect fix for us then
Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of hand-wringing going on by some of the more muppety Chelsea fans because we don't sign every single player we are linked with.
Yeah definitely, he's not moving Ronaldo on without a huge fee for himself. So a mutual termination becomes the best option for him. Doubt anyone is paying a transfer fee, the bonus he'd be after, and Ronaldo's wages and probably a sign on bonus for him too.
Arsenal haven't had a summer to write home about
We should let him go because he's a virus to the team morale, on 400k a week, and doesn't fit the new manager's style.
Yep, can’t cave in on something like that, shouldn’t even be an option.
Agree with you both. Reality is risking him going to Chelsea and it's power to the agent who takes what would have been a transfer fee.
