You can probably at least try to argue that Ronaldo's case is unique enough and doesn't really set a club wide standard. Of course if it can be used as a leverage, then you'll end up feeling the effects way longer than just the Ronaldo contract, so maybe it's still better safe than sorry on that aspect... If they really need a hasty stop-gap solution here, it definitely doesn't seem like a bad one. CR7 gets to leave Utd and gets a solid shot at one more UCL run, Bayern gets at least 12 months to fix the striker issue and even United will be compensated quite nicely probably. CR7 also could be a league winner in 4 biggest leagues in Europe. Sure, but you replace one of the most complete forwards in the game who does a lot without the ball with a guy that does not press or defend at all. | ||

Yeah, it could be rough on some parts, but I think Bayern has enough flexible and hard working players to cover up for one Ronaldo if necessary. The other option is to force Lewa to stay and hope that his work rate and performances stay up, which doesn't seem like a guaranteed thing either. Finding an actual replacement is cool too, but it could be tough. Juventus, Liverpool and City just took away three highly valued targets and they seem to valued around 80 million or more in current market. | ||

And Nagelsman is known for not loving heavy pressing. Ronaldo and Messi are pretty unique cases in they have such a storied profile and such rabid fans of them as players, it’s really difficult to see them come in and be a useful squad player. I just think it causes more problems than it fixes. Aside from anything else Bayern have been reluctant to give some of their long serving older players longer contracts on similar money, because of their age profile. If I’m those guys and you bring in Ronaldo on crazy money, who’s older than me, my nose will be a little out of joint. This is Bayern Munich, I’m sure these guys would enjoy the chance to play with him but they’re not going to be so starstruck or in need of inspiration as say, a club like United who haven’t been a top, top club in a while. If Lewa does go, and there’s not a like for like similar level of replacement on the market, I’m sure they can just get a stop gap player or even loan one to cover. Either a classic target man that acts more as a pivot for Sane/Gnabry/Mane to work off, or some kind of Werner-esque pressing machine, or a player in the mould of Firmino that’s as much a creator as a goal scorer. Or play Mane through the middle rather than rotating him around the wide positions. He’s proven to be basically unpurchasable, and unlikely to be prized now away given he’ll be playing in the Champions League but down the line if only for a few years Bayern could do worse than pick up Harry Kane. He’s one of the most consistent goal scorers in Europe and is very creative to boot | ||

wow and cronaldo is really forcing a move out of united....there goes the love for the club bla bla bla...united were the only takers with a CL spot at the time. Bayern would be dumb to take him, his impact on the squad is a lot more than people realise, just look at our national team. | ||

Sometimes it could be beneficial for the club to stay quiet to improve their position when negotiating for a replacement for example. At that point it's respectful from the player not to go public with their intentions right away. I can absolutely see the players being fickle with their position and having change of heart overnight on some things, but I can also see clubs trying to keep multiple options open for their own safety. It would be amazing to be the fly on the wall on some of some of the more dramatic transfer sagas. For example the Mbabbe saga must have had some outrageous talks going on when even the public part was madness. | ||

Maybe he decided to leave after seeing a month of nothing happening at the club? the expectation was that he would stay for the next season. thats what was known to the public before all of this. naturally then we have 1 less forward position to think about, instead of 2 if we had known he was going to leave earlier. or perhaps ten hag would have to seriously consider relying on the likes of martial again. the lack of transfer activity is a pathetic excuse imo. did anyone actually believe that we would be getting the likes of haaland to this club? or that we would go and sign neymar because hes a big profile and he is seemingly unwanted at psg? imo the current situation at the club has been clear for everyone since we dropped out of top 4 last season. pretending like theres been some new revelations since then that has made it clear the club is unsuitable for ronaldo is bullshit. truth is he is just getting cold feet at the thought of actually having to play in the europa league and would rather chase his records then end his career with the club that gave him everything. | ||

The Premier League club of the footballer arrested on Monday on suspicion of rape was made aware of a rape allegation against the player last autumn, the Guardian understands. The player, who is not being named for legal reasons, continued to play in the first team last season. The player was taken into custody by the Metropolitan police in the early hours of Monday before being released on bail on Tuesday until August. A statement from Scotland Yard on Tuesday read: “On 4 July, an allegation of rape of a woman in her 20s was reported to police. It was reported the alleged rape happened in June 2022. On 4 July, a 29-year-old man was arrested at an address in Barnet on suspicion of rape and taken into custody. “While in custody, he was further arrested on suspicion of two incidents of rape that were alleged to have been committed in April and June of 2021 against a different woman in her 20s. He has subsequently been released on bail to a date in August. Inquiries into the circumstances are ongoing.” The club declined to comment. Source | ||
