Their squad ‘market value’ is three times higher than their closest competitor and accounts for 1/3 of the whole league combined. Their owners are worth more than all of the other clubs in France’s top two leagues, combined. It’s a one team league in every definition and a once in a blue moon season where they change manager and go through a bit of a transition doesn’t remove that.

Doctor Zaius Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Achraf Lazaar has signed for Portimonense in Portugal.

Guest HTT II Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 If City sign Ronaldo, I may struggle to keep my 7 year old from supporting them, I’ll trade that in by taking him to watch his hero live in any given match, as much as I hate all things NUFC, my boys know they only have one club and even if they don’t like football or care for it, their club will always be Newcastle United.

toon25 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 PSG or City will be the last chance for Ronaldo to win titles. Also think £170million for a player out of contract next season is typically mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 How much do we think CR has left in the tank and haow much desire too? He's still in great shape at his age and Pep will be gone in 2 years. Would he also call it quits then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I doubt desire is an issue with CR7, he wants to be the Goat. He’ll be doing everything he can to outdo Messi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 If he goes to PSG then Messi will probably never equal or better his CL winning record. It'd also be another one of the top 5 league titles in the bag. Makes the most sense unless he wants to walk to another PL medal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
