Cristiano Ronaldo

I would hate his wank goal celebration, makes him look a right arrogant twat.

Nothing wrong with arrogance if you have the skill to back it up. Imagine that goal celebration when he smashes one in past the rags or scouse twats.

I'd sure you would get over it if he did it 40+ times for us this season? ;)

I'd take him in a heart beat. Great short time solution and won't stop us from getting Haaland next year.

No chance Utd will sell him to us midway through a loan to Juve

I have a personal aversion to any player who turns to celebrate a goal on his own. Much prefer a congregation as it signals a greater collective strength..

If just one player doesn’t press then we don’t have a press and can’t win the ball back high up the pitch which means that our high line has to collapse back into defensive mode the moment the ball is lost and then build out right from the back again and again.

Sure you’d have a player stood goal hanging, with our team effectively reduced to 10 in every defensive phase, but I kinda like our brand of football with a full team of 11 working as a cohesive unit.

Whilst I agree with the sentiment - having a "cohesive unit" doesn't win matches - goals do... and they are something we are severely lacking at the moment. You don't need 11 men to "press" the ball when we loose it

If you sign someone like Ronaldo you adapt. We would have to change how we play and I watched a few Juve games, he is still more than fit enough to press and chase. He just plays in a different system there.

He very rarely acknowledges the assist player for his goals. It’s everyone look at me, take a picture.

Worth mentioning Juve just finished fourth and failed to win the title for the first time in a decade with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring 29 goals. Not done their CL ambitions any good either.

Meanwhile, our top scorer last season was a midfielder with 13 goals.

I'll take the cohesive unit.

Doesn’t necessarily have to be one or the other though, just our amazing team with a proper goal scorer would be such a sight to behold. It’s all we lack.

Whether it’s Kane, Ronaldo or Lewandowski, we’d be almost unbeatable with one of them actually finishing the chances we create.
