EnderMB Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I can definitely see him leaving, purely because he's won everything he can win. He's won the league. He's won the Champions League. He's defended the Champions League, and he's won every other cup competition he's been a part of. Individually, he's played for footballs greatest managers, he's the all-time top goalscorer for his club, and he's scored over a goal a game. Personally, I can see him reversing his career and going to Man Utd, with a final stint in Porugal when he retires. He's 32, and despite still being at the top of his game surely it's too late for him to carve his name into history elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 This is all bollax. If there was any truth in this, the estate agents in Portishead would be going into meltdown. I've not heard a whisper from them all summer. The deal is dead. tfj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put pressure on the Spanish Government to back off on the tax alleged evasion stuff. 2. Get the club to pay the alleged tax liability to the Spanish Government if it is proven that it is due. Toys out the pram moment and I am pretty certain he will still be there when the season starts. Course he will be.

When Trowbridge were in the Conference they had a midfield trio who had all played in the 1st Division (Prem to you young uns). The problem was, they'd hit te ball through to where someone of their standard would be waiting for it. The Trowbridge players unfortunately weren't, so too many balls were gifted to the oppos.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Isn't he still under contract?

JoeAman08 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 I don't think he'd join anyone in England not Man United. So that's one in England. Barca can afford him and couldn't see that even if they could. Juventus loses players over wages so couldn't afford his. Bayern maybe could swing it but they don't normally shell out huge world record type fees for players. That leaves PSG as the only other option to Man U in Europe. Then there is China or the MLS and I don't personally think he's ready to do that at this stage. He's still the best(or second) in the world.
