Can we please focus on our no 1 targets and get them over the line first please.

Also the Bundesliga would be good for CR7, as he hasnt played there before.

Can you see CR7 running and pressing against Liverpool for example like Havertz did well? Or any other world class opponent?

No he can’t, but Ronaldo can score you those goals we desperately needed. I actually see Ronaldo complementing Havertz game much better, Havertz doesn’t score enough to justify him leading your line. Adding CR7 would be good for him. 

The only similarity between Ronaldo and Lukaku is defensive work rate, Ronaldo scores against everyone, his movement is on another level to Lukaku. I see Ronaldo blending in much better than Lukaku. 

Honestly it is a disgrace to have both of them in the same sentence.

Don’t toy with my emotions!

the problem is you can not just put Ronaldo on the bench for games he is not suited to. he will moan, sulk, throw a fit, try to attract all the headlines and derail the team spirit. Because he is an sick egomaniac. Always was. this is a team sport, no one should be put on a pedestal this much. Teams put up with it bc he delivered goals. But now, he is not good enough anymore. We would just become a worse team trying to play to his waning strengths. as a consequence we would just regress as a team, depend on his goals and be left hungover when he leaves in a few months.

The one thing I would say about Ronaldo is, unlike Lukaku, he's genuinely elite and there is an unquestionable desire and thirst to be the best and be a winner. In the right environment, those characteristics rub off on younger players.

However, I would be seriously concerned about the ability to press teams high up the pitch with him. It was a huge issue with Lukaku last season where having just that one player not capable of pressing in sync as a unit left us a lot easier to play against.

I have real reservations that at the very top of the modern game (and bearing in mind we have to compete in a league with Liverpool and City) you can carry a passenger anymore, no matter how good that player might be.

CR7 for 15m quid ... to bang goals in for one season... 

It's a no brainer.

Just go watch his highlight reel for last season, playing in a terrible Man United side. 

The geezer is special. 

He would automatically be the best finisher we have had since Jimmy Floyd.

Ronaldo doesn't suit in a CF position... to static (same problem with lukaku)

Exactly Ronaldo will be Lukaku 2.0, another diva who won't suit our system.

This is why I don't want him. Not because of his ability but it all becomes about him. He will take every free kick because it is Ronaldo even though his conversion rate from free kicks is poor. Headlines will be thrown every time he is taken off or on the bench. Just would rather do without.

What held Lukaku back though, primarily, was his ability (or lack of) on the ball. 

Ronaldo may not press but we can't deny his ability on the ball.

And his refusal to adapt, Ronaldo is the same.

If Lukaku took the chances that were given to him, he'd still be here. There's a big reason why he failed so badly, aside from his lack of fitness.

Out of curiosity, are you against the idea of signing Neymar as well?

Again Lukaku's problem was his refusal to adapt, his ego is too big same like Ronaldo.
