Yeah this will be awkward.
Who takes them for Portugal?

It has fantasy football connotations too :lol:

No he won’t. Bruno is amazing but Ronaldo is the GOAT. He understands that, especially since they are national team mates and friends

Feck that, Bruno takes a better penalty (and a better free kick) than Ronaldo. If he joins we're not bloody becoming Ronaldo Utd

Bruno has a better record, no? He seems to be probably the best penalty taker in the world currently, one of few players who has different methods of taking them, and successfully so. Would be odd to change that, no matter who it is who comes in.

Ronaldo
Bruno
Telles
Rashford
Cavani
Mata

If we just stick a mannequin in goal instead of de Gea, we might be able to win a fecking shootout one of these years.

Well the signing does come with problems like this. Im okay to have him PK taker but FKs should be Bruno.

Sorry to say but stretford end seats are bit old to face Ronaldo's FKs.

Should be Bruno but we all know it'll be Cristiano.

Tougher question is will Maguire still be captain?

Bruno until he gives us a reason not to.

He should be taken off free kicks but probably won't be for the same reason Real Madrid put up with him blasting it over the bar twice a game.
To be fair, Madrid also let Roberto Carlos spend years twatting free kicks into walls and the stands trying to recreate his France one. :lol:

It should be Bruno. He's better at taking them, but I expect it will be Ronaldo.

Ronaldo of course.

Bruno will leave it all to him just like the national team anyway.

He'll also leave the FK to Ronaldo probably but this one will be a mistake I believe.

Maguire will stay as a captain. We're not going to strip him off the arm band like that after the season had already started.

He absolutely shouldn't be on free kicks, but boy oh boy the feeling when we get one on the edge of the box and Ronaldo steps up for the first time... :drool:

only to blast it into space

It’s fine. The refs will give us two per game instead of just the one now. :devil:

If Ronaldo joins, do we remove Bruno from our fantasy team ?? Bruno is not getting penalties, neither freekicks.

It’s Ronaldo, end of. Bruno is nothing, absolutely nobody, compared to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Obviously Ronaldo.

Also, I'm happy to watch Ronnie sky a free kick 99 times in a row if he recreates that free kick on the 100th attempt on the last day of the season.

Ronaldo will take everything, even though I would prefer Bruno to remain on free kicks

Bruno and Ronaldo are good friends, i'm sure they will work something out.

Maybe just let Fred take them all.
