Scosha Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Bit of a surprising move. I always thought Real Madrid would keep him until retirement and make him a number 9 the older he gets. Maybe he fancies going and trying to win everything in another country. He's dragged RM to 3 Champions Leagues in a row, if he did the same with Juventus just once there would surely be no doubt that he's the GOAT? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 £20m profit on a player who'll be 36 in just over 2 years. Madrid must be pissing themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are they going to get who'll even come close to his output? Mbappé would make sense in the long term, but if the Hazard rumours are true, I suspect we'll be thinking Juve got the best of this transfer saga. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I wonder what Juve are expecting. A similar output (more than a goal a game) over the four years? Couple of 40-goal seasons before a bit of a drop? For him to win them to Champions League. He's certainly capable of doing any of them, and if you're going to spend £100m on a 33-year-old, he's a decent pick. I like Italian football, but there is plenty of shite in the top flight that he could pump. 25 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: I'm unsure.

Mbappé would make sense in the long term, but if the Hazard rumours are true, I suspect we'll be thinking Juve got the best of this transfer saga. Mbappe's probably the only one who I can think of who could come close to 450 goals, if he stayed there for as long as Ronaldo. Lewandowski could probably match his tally from the last couple of seasons (mid-40s), but I can't see him reaching a great Ronaldo season, and he's also picked up a bit of a "bottler" tag. Neymar would be fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Pretty cool move. It’s a shame though because it just means no one else is winning Serie A for the next couple of years at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominique Malonga Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 It’s a lot of money but Juventus can now say the best player of all time plays for them. Think he’s still got a good few years in him as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo is a fantastic player and athlete but he should slow down a bit and take more time to recover from injuries. The big question is whether PSG's financial fair play problems will require them to sell Mbappe on to Real. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefan27 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I think for Juve it’s basically going all in for the Champions League. Beaten finalists twice in four years and probably only Ronaldo away from knocking out Real last year. If they get two years out of Ronaldo and win the CL in that time then I think they’d consider the outlay to be worth it, then they can wave him off to China or MLS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggysBeard Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 €100m is a drop in the ocean compared to the commercial value of having Cristiano Ronaldo at your club. Juventus will make enough money to cover the transfer fee and his wages for the duration of his contract and a lot more long before the end of his contract and will reap the rewards long after he leaves the club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the share price has rocketed in the past week. Won't lose out certainly. On a personal note, just renewed my Lazio ST, €70 deduction so only cost €200 this season which is pretty reasonable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
