Don't bring talk of that crap in here. (Ps it's a total pile of crap, RTS with only one unit, wtf is that shit).

Maybe Ronaldo wants to go beat up people in the MLS. Won't make mega wages but will look like a god and live in the US which he might like.

All of it doesn't matter, this is the football thread and it's for football, not for Dota. There is even a whole board here on TL just for Dota 2, so, there you go.
But does it djent?

It is reported that Ronaldo has made it clear to the club he is not happy, with Cadena Ser de Radio saying the main issue is a falling out within the squad between certain players and that he does not feel 'valued' by the club.




is that from some Barcelona loving newspaper though?

where the fuck would Ronaldo go anyways? PSG? Citeh? that Russian club with loadsa money where they pay 400k a week?

Also maybe he just can't stand the competition with Messi. Who could anyway.

Every media outlet in Spain leading with same story Barca based, Madrid based and everywhere else xD

Also SkySports chipped in too. IMO if he wants to play top level football still (which he should) City or Chelsea his only options who could afford him. Ofc he would probably go back to united but they cant afford him now, they fucked financially. xD

Barcelona without Messi or Madrid without Ronaldo would still be among the best teams out there.


I'd debate that. Messi and Ronaldo's goals minus last season and well Barcelona don't look so good. Specially Barcelona without Messi, i mean imagine there back 4 withouth the option of Messi scoring 3 goals a game and saving them 3-2! Ronaldo does pretty much the same in a way for Real.



I would tend to agree the original statement.

They of course improve their team drastically, but football is a teamsport after all and I would say they are amongst the best even without their big guns.

[image loading]

12 points in total lost for the last season for Ronaldo, would be interesting what Messis impact on Barcelona would be.
But given that Madrid finished 9 points clear of Barca, I would rate Messi more important for Barca than Ronaldo for Madrid, just in terms of competitive value, leaving aside any effects on brand, marketing, et cetera.

Yet still, even without their goals, both would have scored 80 goals during a season, which is still well within the range of the top teams of any league in Europe, and 20 goals beyond any other team in Spain.

I know this is flawed arithmetics on inconclusive data, just trying to back up my gut feel with some numbers.


On the Ronaldo Rumours/Quotes of today:

If he wants to leave Real (which I don't think, I think he wants attention of some sort), I wouldn't know where he would want to go to.
In Spain, there is only one team, and neither would Barca ever sign him, nor would he ever go there, given their mutual background.
In England, the only 2 teams that could afford him are City and Chelsea. I don't know how big his sympathy for his ex club is, but lets rule City out for that reason. Chelseas performance last season in Champions League I would count as a fluke, produced by the desperate horde of old warriors battling for their last chance. So Chelsea aren't good enough on paper to guarantee success.
Teams in Italy can't afford him, he would never transfer to Bundesliga, and besides, the only team able to afford him their, Bayern Munich, wouldn't sign him for their monetary policy.
Leaves PSG and Russia, which cannot guarantee the success he demands besides their monetary potency.
Therefore, he will remain at Real, and with his standing there, get his will, whatever it may be.

Ok i like you backed your statement up with facts, but, Ronaldo playing isn't just goals. It's running down the wing and passing to players leaving it on a plate for them xD

I'd like to know the games he missed, i know he missed the start of last season im pretty sure? Drawing to Ajax rings a bell in September.

Reading a little into it. Ronaldo injured himself in a 1-0 win against Dinamo Zagreb then the next 2 la liga games they lost 1-0 and drew 0-0.
He came back the following game and they won 6-2?

WIKI source


But personally i think Messi not in the Barca team is way more of a bigger deal than Real losing Ronaldo though personally.

Cristiano's most assists were like 15 in a season. And his passing is horrendous, he often passes to the opponents, lol. Just look last seasons game with bayern.

Just because someone is better doesn't mean that his passing is horrendous. You want horrendous passing look at players in the championship or some other second division. Ronaldo's passing may not be what he's known for, but it's still top quality in most games and only mediocre when he's not.

Everyone's forgetting the most glaringly obvious: Ronaldo wants to move to Benfica for the 90 Million that Anzhi was prepared to offer for Witsel, Gaitan and Rodrigo.

If he wants to be named the best Portuguese player ever he needs to dethrone Eusébio who was a legend for Portugal and Benfica in the 60s. Best place to do it is obviously Benfica.
