The more I think about it, Juve just seems like the perfect place for Ronaldo. Free league title for the foreseeable future, if Di Natale and Toni were winning top scorer at 33-35 it shouldn't be a problem for him. 2 recent CL final appearances. Plenty of old timers to share the memories with. Damn. It's almost too perfect a fit.
By Kidjr Go To PostWhile I still feel the same (that original Ronaldo was a better player) I find a hard argument to justify these days with current Ronaldos output. Nostalgia is like a poison to objectivity.90s Serie A was a completely different universe from the past decade of La Liga. Statistical comparisons are irrelevant.
90s Serie A was the galácticos league. I owned a Fiorentina shirt ffs. Every team had stars.
I'm sorry Ash, but no one is buying a Viola shirt these days. It'd be like buying a Burnley shirt.

i really wanted the nintendo fiorentina shirt back then, couldn't get it in kids size
i still have my inter milan shirt

Of course. Batigol and Nintendo. Was there ever a better combination?
Maybe Titi and Dreamcast (if you ignore the Arsenal part).
By Auto Simeone Go To PostHow many Champions League did OG Ronaldo win again?2 world cups tho
I mean I enjoyed fat Ronaldo just like everyone else but are we seriously still having this debate? CR7 leaped fat Ronaldo 2 maybe 3 years ago now.
By rvy Go To Post2 world cups thoHe didn't play in 1994 tho
World Cup is dumb anyways. Makeshift teams trying to play decent football.
By FligureSkatingFan Go To PostAdmit it: you bought the Fiorentina shirt because of the Nintendo sponsorship.When I played a tournament in Verona '96 everyone wanted some red Diadora shoes and an Olivetti computer. Italy was the shit back then.
What happened, Flabber!?
Just thinking about this furthermore:
Ronaldo gets:
better salary
guaranteed serie a title
another layer of prestige playing in another top club
a chance to a) make a solid CL run and b) possibly even win it
Juventus gets:
a top striker for at least 2 years
shirt sales
the allure to lure big names "look at us, top talent wants to play for us"
possibility of the much wanted CL title... since they roll serie a anyways
Madrid get:
100m (lulz gtfo)
It's clear to me who the winners are and who the losers are. I just don't see how this is a win for us. Who can possibly replace 50 goals a season? Guaranteed?

No way is Pulisic going for €50 million in this market. Can't even get a good full back for that money.
By Frustrated_me Go To PostJuventus gets:🤔
shirt sales

You could probably get Trippier for €50 million.
You can tell these Juve lads have never had to properly muppet before. The quality and attention to detail on some of these Photoshops is 2005 era.

Done deal.

By Bungie Go To PostPulisic. Kicker. €50 million.US site naming Kicker as source, despite Kicker never having written said article.

So neither the bid, nor the article exists.

Would you say it’s like 50/50 then?
I'm convinced it's all a scheme to divert attention & fan rage from the Darmian signing.
Surprised Ronaldo is going along with it. I guess he really did appreciate the stadium applauding him in Turin. Great human being, always liked him.

Kalinic to Atletico?
Refused to be a sub for his country at the WC, got a doctor note citing 'stress' to get him out of training at Fiorentina when he was trying to force his move to Milan. A proper Simeone player.

Pulisic is probably a €75m (at least) player in 2018. I would have said maybe €100m last season, so who knows, maybe at this rate Spurs can get him for €50m in 2019.
Bet a lot of you are thinking "Crikey, double khaki is a bit much. Not for me, even though I'm unattractive and have bad opinions about sports".
You're mostly right but fuck me look at those boots. People have been burned at stakes for less.

By Mushroom Go To PostSeems like Emery wants to bring Gomes from Barca while moving out Ramsey… Ehhh…Does seem like Ramsey is leaving, not sure if that’s the right decision tho
By Freewheelin Go To PostLaboured pls, let someone else post for once :lol
Triple posting is the sign of a real man, Dean.
By Mushroom Go To PostSeems like Emery wants to bring Gomes from Barca while moving out Ramsey… Ehhh…Don't think he wanted Ramsey to leave, this is more an emergency
