Activate Another Lever and Still Lose to a Madrid Remontada - The Small Teams Thread

He's not good, and cost a ton, but the memes are a bit too much, I wouldn't go as far as calling him the Harry Maguire of defenders

 

All the players Mpaypal tried recruiting rejected him and PSG. [emoji23] And Zizou as well.

Pele unresponsive to chemo.

Has been moved to end of life care. Prayers.

 

Everything you see your favourite player doing, Pelé did it first.

hmmmm, yes.

 

Wow

 

That is pretty incredible

 

🚨💣 Cristiano Ronaldo WILL play for Al-Nassr. It is a DONE DEAL. @marca #rmalive

The guy is about to be 38. If anything this worked handsomely in his favor because some Manchester fans credit him for causing the stir which forced the Glazers hand in wanting to sell and he gets to make an absolute killing playing friendlies.

He probably will still negotiate a deal where he finishes his club career at one of the remaining CL knockout sides as well.

The guy basically won

 

It’s neither a win or a loss (or it’s both).

Ronaldo was in a toxic environment where he was being given the scapegoat treatment by a manager determined to bolster his authority, so leaving was a win for him.

Failing to secure a CL club is a loss for him, but getting paid silly sums is not a bad consolation prize.

 

Who is you guys? Stop letting your hate for that man blind you. You act as if he offended you personally.

Xavi was 35 when he went there for a pay day. I have always been for players making the best financial situation for themselves; I have only been against it when they are young and in their prime and make their sole focus money.

Anything he does you consider an L because your bitter as ******** like some discarded old divorcee.

You can't even have a objective conversation about the guy yet rail on people who do the same for messi and other players you're soft on.

 

He went after the cash, and it doesn't look good for him, esp. after what Mendez tried to do in the summer, but then again he's close to 40, so it makes sense.

I don't care either way, happy that we've got nothing to do with this mess.

 

Yeah its a massive L. Yikes if true. I thought he was not happy with the level of ManU, believing that hes better than that. Instead he just wanted more money. Yikes.

 

Pipe down

Again, not true. https://t.co/bWeLo4IUvp

All very irrelevant IMO, watching the new talent on show ( and Luka lol)

 

4-5 sources reported about this deal. Guess it won't be officially confirmed as long as Portugal are in the World Cup.

Al Nassr official proposal to Cristiano Ronaldo is on the table, as called last week. €200m per year until 2025, but including sponsor deals. Documents are being checked. 🚨🇵🇹🇸🇦 #Ronaldo

There’s still nothing signed, agreed or approved by Cristiano. Focus is on the World Cup. pic.twitter.com/FUTxOnoDI7

The Saudis are trying to host the 2030 WC Finals. Is this a part of the plot to boost Saudi's profile in football? They already bought Newcastle.

 

Regardless of his destination, expect him to announce it walking off the field after they get knocked out.

No better way to deflect criticism.

 

He will announce it at the final so the attention is on him
