collier Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 The hate towards Man U can be felt through the screen in this thread!! So far Ronaldo has put Fernandes on the scrap heap, He has dived and won a boat load of penalties and also managed to lose United a ton of money, also he managed to set up a fight with Pogba. All without actually signing yet!! The truth is that Ronaldo is one of the best players to have ever played the game and will easily help United get closer to the title this season. His signing will generate a good amount of income for United in terms of merchandising and global coverage. He scores goals and always stays fit even for a 36yo. Look past the hate for United and realise this is a good signing for the Premier League and for the club. I also really doubt he was ever contemplating Man City seeing he still had a decent relationship with sir Alex and the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Pretty cool. Will be really interested to see how he does. His move to Utd and Grealish to City both have caught my imagination and I don’t usually care about the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Rashford is fit I just can't see how the likes of Greenwood and possibly Sancho are going to get regular games. Probably affect Greenwood the most and I've always thought he could really come good for England as long as he keeps his United place. They are going to learn so much from him. Its good for the England team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 He'll help improve players around him, not make them worse.

Messi is a different person, he has a wife and 3-4 kids, he would have quite happily played for one club throughout his whole career. If you class that as the easy route, then so be it, he has nothing to prove to anyone. Him and Ronaldo are poles apart as people, one enjoys the hero worship and glamour, one is happy being a genius on the pitch, and enjoying his family off it.

However he's actually not streets ahead of everyone else in terms of shot conversion, and actually in some seasons his shot conversion % is distinctly average. He's good enough at finishing that when he takes loads of shots he scores loads of goals. Same kind of freak statistics as someone like the late Kobe Bryant in basketball. Bryant scored tons of points, but he also missed the most shots of any player in some seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify are you saying it’s harder to stay at a club when you had the great Barcelona midfielders and then kick up a storm when things are not great or go to other countries to prove yourself to win things like ronaldo did,both are geniuses let’s be fair but if you are a family man as you say messi is why is he playing for in France and not Spain for let’s say A.

That’s why statistics are misleading, and the only one that counts for a striker is how many goals they score and for Ronaldo that is most definitely not average! 674 in 897 games at the top top level winning everything you can pretty much as a player (bar the World Cup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't say he's not a great goalscorer. He's just a fairly average finisher who gets himself into position to shoot very very often. He's an incredible player.
