Saw this thread about Fred's medical a few days ago, then find out today he's now got an ankle trauma. Think you may have jinxed him @Matth_2014
Thank Christ CR7 has signed for Juve - that puts to bed any ridiculous notion that we might have parted with silly money for a player of his age. It also should mean the end of any talk about the old crock Bale leaving RM. Win win.
Correct, was thinking the same myself. The Ronaldo bit anyway, I'd take Bake in a heartbeat but the fact is we really don't need a player in this position when we have Sanchez and then Martial and Rashford, not to mention Lingard. All of these will improve again next season, it's not the positions we need to address. Centre half (×2), right back and, maybe, another centre forward. That's it.
Are we only saying that because we didn't get him? Ronaldo would be as close a guarantee as it's possible to get of winning the title for the next three years. It would have justified the silly money.
No, we're saying that because we can't be arsed with the circus, he's 33+, and perhaps we should move on.
