Just got my Authentic Ronaldo shirt. Looks fantastic. BUT i actually ordered the cup printing shirt as well (was going to return the authentic) because i like the lettering and numbering look. I ordered the cup version from United Direct, they charged by credit card, but i did not get any email confirmation as i did with the authentic shirt and i cannot get anyone to help. Chat is always "nobody available" and the phoneline is the same. Basically i've been robbed by United Direct.
Player Issue?

He has been at Madrid for 3 years now???
This guy...
Crazy that he keeps scoring but today, he missed 2 sitters. Should have got at least one pen though
Those stats are crazy without comparing them
Does anyone local know if they've restocked the megastore with Ronnie 7 shirts yet?
Am up there Tuesday, and just wondering if a quick nip in was worthwhile, rather than risking the scrum at the Villarreal game.

Aged 36 years and 226 days, Cristiano Ronaldo is now the second-oldest player to score in consecutive Premier League appearances for Manchester United, behind only Ryan Giggs (39y 86d).
the guy is fuking magic
If youre referring to his shirt being out of stock then it’s bigger than that. I never even got an order confirmation email and no hint of getting the shirt

Err yeah, that certainly won't be happening in the current climate.
But that is only because Hazard does not like to score goals. If he wanted to, he would score as many as Ronaldo and Messi.
Also if he was more consistent, he'd be Messi 2.0
I am surprised to learn he is earning 70m USD from salary alone. I know he is still earning lower than Messi and Neymar who are both at 75m USD per year. If that’s the case his reported contract of 480k pounds per week, must be after tax figure, which is in fact around 960k before tax. And that’s around 52m pounds per year, which is 70m USD.
Can't believe Cristiano's back in a United shirt. It's still surreal.
Nah, there's no way we're giving him a million a week. 480k per week pre tax sounds correct.
Sure but it just doesn’t adds up. He is earning 500k after tax in Juventus (1m before tax), and I heard he took a wage cut of around 6m per year after moving here. Now Forbes is reporting he is earning 70m USD per year.
Forbes know feck all, I’m surprised people still assume they’re always right.
Assume Forbes got it wrong, Ronaldo yearly salary should be 35m instead of 70m (before tax), his total yearly earnings would be around 90m then (35m salary + 55m endorsement), he would be 3rd behind Messi (110m) and Neymar (95m)
Hazard looks a bit like Ronaldo Lima in this photo
I bet his name is Damien.
It would be nice if he started scoring from freekicks again. In his first stint with us he scored alot of them, and often beautiful ones.
You wonder why at Madrid his freekick technique declined.

The first 2/3 seasons he was still scoring them. I'm not sure if it has to do anything with new ball designs or what but I suspect is also because him trying to score knuckleballs from every angle and distance.

Ball manufactures designed the ball to kill knuckleball goals.
Yes way we’re giving him that much, our wage bill for the upcoming year is projected to go up by around 20%, which equates to around a £60-70m increase.
It wasn't the other way around? There was one world cup and euros I remember goal keepers crying a lot about the new the ball designs and how it made the thing move unpredictably for them, there were also some amazing long distance goals in those tournaments. Maybe balls are back to normal again, haven't played football in a while and wasn't very good so I really can't tell the difference.
Hey, you were right!

He really needs to use a more conventional technique now.

Nah it’s the other way around nowadays. Every press release over a new ball are always banging on about having truer flight and other such nonsenseIt wasn't the other way around?

And still you know people will insist he was going to City until we came in.
As if we just casually chucked a massive deal in at the last minute, rather than planning it the second we got wind he was moving.
Oh you have a nike ball in the premier league, always liked those better than the adidas, except for the design they use in the champions league. I still think Ronaldo needs to try to hit the ball normally, I'm sure he's capable of scoring like that.
Even if we with dip swerve balls, the way they keep rolling out new balls for tournament with significant changes, freekick takers still need to adjust to have more control of their knuckleball freekicks. So the window between the end of club season and the beginning of the tournament, there is not enough time personal training with all the recovery, training to gel with teammates, and prepare for different scenario during the tournaments...It wasn't the other way around?

Even heard how City decided not to go through with the deal so he joined us instead.
But Ballbag said he was going to City. Im sure he knows better than his mother.
Yep, City PR machine damage limitation job.
Makes it even sweeter if he continues like he has done. They are on their way "to have rejected" a 30+ goals per season striker.
