You don't know that at all You're trying to bolster a rubbish point with nothing but 100% conjecture If/when people can show the options messi turned down then people might take their idiocy about "the easy option" with some level of credibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Anyway, Ronaldo coming here is very exciting. He got 29 goals in Serie A last season, so I would be expecting similar figures in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all idle speculation. For all we know, Ronaldo may have jumped at the chance to join PSG. It's not like Messi is the first world class player to rock up in Paris.

Guest Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 8 hours ago, Orlando_Trustful said: Absolutely. Ronaldo comes back to test himself in the most competitive league in the world, whilst Messi cries off to walk a few Ligue 1 titles in a joke league. There’s only one GOAT for me. Ronaldo went to a team that wins their domestic title & cups with more regularity than Celtic did in the same period - and left after they lost it for the first time in a decade!

Apart from Pep and Man City I can’t see anyone else tempting him and I don’t think they would have broken the bank to sign him on his wages.

Bit like if Spurs fans blamed Kane for them not winning anything in the past few seasons? Of course I'm not blaming him totally. He was part of the team though. Not a team that were in self-destruction like Barcelona, who signed costly failures aplenty. Juventus were unchallenged in Italy since 2011, they won less in the period after they signed Ronaldo than in the same period before it and regressed in terms of Champions League progression. He is the 2nd best footballer of his generation and I expect him to do well for Man Utd but I don't think the Juve squad will be devastated.

Would be valid and correct to say that Ronaldo and Kane have disappointed in big games in recent years yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
