What did he win in his second United stint?
Cristiano Ronaldo - 965/1000
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
Piers Morgan's friendship.
Nah, I just like him as athlete and footballer.
And I hope he sends me money for defending him on the internet
On a serious note - yeah, every story has two sides to it. So I'm willing to forgive and forget and just enjoy the football part.
It's kind of a spiritual journey, letting go of irrational hatred for random billionaire athletes. One step and the time
Don't be weird.
Ah, the prize all footballers dream of.
Surely then he'd be wanting to play as often as possible so that he can hit his tally quicker, rather than avoiding a few games because of this pointless strike?
You’re absolutely right in saying that he thinks of nothing but himself and hitting 1,000 goals, but I don't quite understand his mentality here.
Yeah well the narrative isn't precise with that. It's just..played in England, won the league. Played in spain, won the league. Played in Italy, won the league. Played in Saudi, won the Piers.
Not really sure how that makes sense when Al Nassr are stronger than 95% of the teams in the league and he’s topscorer in the league basically every year. If it was about goals, he wouldnt be missing games, losing match fitness while he only gets older and older. It’s very obvious and logical it’s because Al Nassr are 2nd tier to the likes of Al Hilal.

Heehee you were literally writing "feck EVERYONE" in the matchday forum a few weeks ago when we were losing a football match! There's a very cute, try-hard "
" energy about your posts here.Wait and watch his fans tell you how big it is if he wins it this season.
Teammate just did his celebration as a tribute so along with the fans, they seem to agree with him aswell.
He is one of the greatest ever if not the greatest, he has and always will be a spoilt brat but Saudis need to remember and realise with out him there is no Saudi league.
Part of me thinks thou Ronaldo is bored doesn’t need the money and is possibly angling to get out of his contract to go to the states. Messi vs Ronaldo again or messi and Ronaldo vs the rest?? It’s the dream?

Dream for whom? Watching washed-up athletes certainly ain't a dream.
Yip. Was a dream 10 years ago. Not anymore.
Seeing stories they're considering selling him for 40 odd million. Unless they're paying him out and he goes on a free, I don't see how they'll shift him.
To be honest he is a very hyper competitive guy, has to have had that mentality to reach the heights he has, so not a surprise he values it as much.
Didn't agree with him enough to boycott the match themselves. Then, I suppose somebody has to go and try and win this title. You can only realise so much ambition by sulking in your compound.
That's his release clause I believe.
Most people don’t seem to understand that when Ronaldo signed his last contract at Al Nassr, he essentially became part owner. The club made a lot of promises to keep him that just haven’t been fulfilled (which is not a fault of Al Nassr itself but the broader federation). Everything going on is simply far beyond the other players.
Like Jordan and even Messi, it should be evident that at this late stage of Ronaldo’s career, he’s no longer just a player.
This is a summary of everything:
It’s hilarious reading all the responses from people in here that know absolutely zilch but will comment to itch their own agenda.
The fact remains that Al Nassr has much bigger wage budget than all the other clubs.
I don't think spending is the issue. I think Ronaldo is issue himself.
Maybe he should ask them to sign him Messi so he can finally win something in Saudi Arabia.

For what it’s worth, that timeline may be accurate. I won’t deny that at all.
But getting it from a Twitter Account that has Ronaldo as its banner may not be a great place to prove a point.
43m release clause
He will have to pay it himself if he wants out. Nobody will want him for that money, absolutely.
It is the same thing as when he was leaving United. No sane club wanted him, Ronaldo was world class only in his own head by that time.
Selling him where? MLS only chance, but who has the money?
This is Maticmaker levels of propaganda.
You are the one posting with an agenda, I'd say...
What’s the correct story then? Enlighten us.
Ronaldo is a narcissistic little prick who's throwing his toys out of the pram yet again.
So Ronaldo is kicking up a fuss because PIF are not skewing the competition towards his own team??
Embarrassing really.
This also says a lot about how corrupt and pointless the Saudi League is.

Phew there is captain penandes. Great goal.
The fans are fans of him, not the club. If he went to another Saudi club, most of the fans would follow him.
They agree because they are brown-nosing Ronaldo fanboys.
He's not ever going to live in the States. He may find some legal documents on his door step if he ever did.
Not doing himself any favours if he wants 1000.
Yeah I agree. Thought he'd be wanting to play as many games as possible.
Incorrect.
I thought exactly that myself. Nobody in their right mind is paying £40 million on a 41 year old.
They have infinite money.
I was talking about them selling to a European or American team.
Now that him and Trump are pals, yeah he is in the clear
No, that is not relevant. Both the criminal case and the subsequent civil suit were dismissed years ago (2019 and 2022). However, the myth that Ronaldo "can't go to the US" seems to die hard among some posters on here who keep parroting the same lazy misinformation.
