ponsaelius Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 2020/21 Man United scored 73 league goals and finished 2nd. With Ronaldo 2021/22 they scored 56 and finished 6th. So the 'where would they be without Ronaldo's goals' is obviously deeply misguided. This is groundhog day with discussing Ronaldo at Juve last summer. A team built around and to serve a singular goalscorer who doesn't press from the front. It's hardly a criticism of the player to point this out so I can't understand why the fanboys get so defensive. He's 37 ffs - it's understandable that there is limitations.

What in the fuck Man Utd have been doing signing dinosaurs like Zlatan, Falcao, Cavani and Ronaldo, I don't know. The Man Utd I knew, hated but respected used to sign the cream of the crop, who were about to hit peak. SAF had a history of signing experienced strikers too. Sheringham, Larsson and van Persie off the top of my head. Edited July 2, 2022 by Pata Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t really say no when the second greatest footballer ever and a club legend wants to come back? I don’t really see how it’s any different to what SAF did. They were an extra to what they had and I would only class Falcao as a flop and he was the one that was supposed to be in his prime. Man United have been bad enough for a decade now that you don’t have to make things up to have a laugh at them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I’m not saying RvP wasn’t a good signing, just not exactly a up and coming young striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 The RVP transfer was about going to your main rival and taking their best player and the leagues best player, because you could. It wasn’t building for the future, it was ‘fuck you we’re Manchester United’. They can’t do that any more, not a single big 6 player would see them as a step up.

When Man Utd signed the 3 you mentioned, they had other world class strikers around them, when they signed the ones I mentioned, they didn't. It's fine to add an experienced ageing striker as someone who can bolster your squad but it's not fine if they are brought in to be the main man. Where are Man Utd in the hunt for strikers? I haven't seen them seriously linked with any. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
