Negotiation 101, don’t show your hand in public.
As I say, United don’t sell to PL rivals. If you think they’ll suddenly do so fair enough but I’m just looking at the past. We aren’t Arsenal.

United won’t want to give Chelsea the 15-20 goals they were missing last season as that would essentially limit our chances of top 4. They also won’t want to lose status or the additional value he offers to a rival.

United aren’t strapped for cash. They don’t need to sell on disagreeable terms.

We all love United
True. Seems to be a club who don’t know what they’re doing at the minute. Might even tease 20m and go for 25 at the last minute. Good chance they’ll fall for it. They’re spending 45m on Ake who had 9 league starts last season after all
Wait, what? Chelsea are buying Ake for 45M?

We can agree to disagree mate. Ideally they wouldn’t want to obviously. I personally don’t really care where he goes as long as we get rid of him. I think he might force a move through though. Players have all the power these days. Especially one such as Ronaldo

If Chelsea are the only club interested, or the only club willing to pay £15m+,we'd be stupid not to sell. That money plus the saved wages would go towards a replacement and put us in a far better position than keeping a sulking dickhead who will fake family issues to get out of playing.

Wait how do we know he’s faking personal issues?

He’s literally taken over negotiations from Maria
Negotiations is different from the identification and scouting of players. The guy is at the table working on the transfers set by the club and Tuchel. But he also is flanked by lawyers and club support who are keen on the deals, what needs to be done and what is necessary for it all to be registered with FIFA/UEFA/PL.

Mendes offered him to Chelsea. No scouting involved. Also, it’s Ronaldo. How much do you need to scout him?

He was a co owner of the Dodgers, but not the majority owner. He's very far removed from the actual player acquisitions from his time with the Dodgers. And the Dodgers have always brought in big players and big salaries, but they've developed so many good players from their own system...again, not because of Boehly. He's a smart guy and knows investments and acquisitions, but you're all giving him far too much credit in terms of incoming and outgoing for Chelsea.

Acquiring any transcendent sports player is any team's dream, for the most part. But even the owner knows there's a large cost benefit to signing Ronaldo, especially when you consider what Tuchel wants from his squad.
You do understand Mark Walters is the majority owner of the Dodgers and is a partners with Boehly at Chelsea and is now on the board of directors at Chelsea? The two work as a team.

He might force it but it won't the club which will be pressures to sell to Chelsea at any cost.

It is on a Chelsea board from a member that usually posts legit info. I asked him where he quoted it. I will post it when I get a reply. Not meant as a wind up, but it will look bad on me if it is crap.

Couldn't give a toss if he went to Chelsea personally.

City and Liverpool - no. Anyone else? Meh,

Can't see us selling to any PL club. He will go to Bayern or back to Italy.

While I agree with you, I also see @Berbaclass point. If only Chelsea bid for him, we might resist it until the transfer deadline day but we would eventually sanction it Imo.

We just have to hope Bayern shows interest because if they do, Ronaldo would definitely chose them over Chelsea even if their offer is less. Should Bayern not be interested though, then keeping an unhappy Ronaldo against his will would totally destroy our season and set back ETH project.

In overseeing the club, yes. But my point is the fact that you, other Chelsea supporters, and the media are overstating his influence in terms of transfers. He's the chief negotiator on behalf of Chelsea, very good to have, but it's a position that requires much more support and specialist.

Mendes going directly to a select number of clubs soliciting his player's service and understanding interest is fine.

But in terms of being a football director typer person, he's not it, yet many are treating him like it.

The bit about the medical in that article is interesting. Considering that he seemingly lied about his whereabouts anyway.

Bayern possibly would offer Ronaldo a 4th title of the 5 tops leagues and more Champion League goals

I think he wants Real Madrid as they always have the best chance of winning the Champions League
but he might not play as much in the league games, can his ego take that?

Could if we do a deal with R Madrid get Hazard in a swap?

Chelsea would be a last resort that would depend on Ten Hag giving the OK too

Either way whoever gets him the players in that team have to remember to follow him to the corner
when he scores his goal and celebrate with him - this i couldn't stand about him - a lot of me, me, me
yet when a team mate scored and there wasn't many i agree he was usually last to celebrate with them

Mendes did offer him to Chelsea and a few other clubs that can pay him and offer him a chance at CL and trophies.

But again, Ronaldo being purchased by new American owners just because he is a "marketing dream" doesn't align with Tuchel and the sporting side. This version of Ronaldo has glaring drawbacks and they would be amplified under Tuchel because of his optimal football style.

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"
Why is your reaction here to denigrate the journalist?
Do you feel any concerns or misgivings about the players in question? The ones that downed tools for Ole even after he gave them everything they wanted.

At this point, I've no patience for players. Ole pointed it out in his first few months that half of them didn't deserve to wear the shirt. he toned it down to keep his bosses happy but no reason the fans should once again get hoodwinked.
Think you’re under a preconception that I’m pro players? I think this lot are the worst I’ve seen in decades of supporting us… and have said so on threads.

But Castles is useless (as are a lot of the players) imo.

Why would we want to do that :houllier:

Not bothered at all where goes. It's clear as day that despite his goal return and occasional outstanding performance, he effects us negatively as a team.

Get a functioning, hard working striker in his place and we'll be better as a team, I'm sure of it.

I agree he doesn’t fit. I’m not sure it will stop them though. The new owners of Chelsea are in it for the money. Ronaldo brings that. Quite a tempting proposition for them. Will say a lot about how much they value Tuchel, although he might fancy him. We don’t know.

I think if they sold Lewandowski for €40m and got Ronaldo for €20m they'd take that a 1 year stop gap while they figure out their long-term no9 target.

Maybe PSG might come in for Ronnie? He will get to play in a farmer’s league and have Champions Lg experience
They haven't declared their interest, and Mendes hasn't reached out to them. So far, Mendes has only reached out to Chelsea and Bayern Munich, whilst Napoli are interested but haven't necessarily made any advances as of yet.

Not "pro players"...just seemed distracted. I agree Castles is useless, much like all the journalists. They're all self serving. Except maybe Nurse who won't understand how to manipulate for clicks and retweets for another few years

If he goes to Chelsea and is successful it's pretty much the exact confirmation that Ronaldo wasn't the problem.

Also interesting that Tuchel would go for him - another sign to me that ETH saw the value in having him as well.

Before people complain, check the OP.

United's women's team sign their first ever Canadian player on a 2-year contract.

@MUW4Eva This is a great signing for the team. She's a versatile forward who's a constant runner and able to be in the right place at the right time.
I still don’t agree with it. It should be in its own forum
