Wouldn't dembele at Celtic be a better gamble then mbappe for 100 million im surprised no one has gone in and flashed 30 million at Celtic and bought him yet i think someone will this window.

A fit Bale is the third best player in the world. A dream signing.

jayo26

Would be a dream signing. Something like different training regime or adapting his game could help a great deal.

Glad to say i sat in the stand tonight in cardiff and witnessed imo the greatest player ever to play the game. A utd legend, a real madrid legend. A portugal icon. Prob never see the likes of him again. Ronaldo

Messi is better

He is in his hole better.

Ronaldo has it all and then some. A leader, an icon. One of the worst things that ever happened this club is selling Ronnie to those ****ers

Anyone not like Ramos?

Love seeing Ronaldo and Fergie together. It's brilliant to see.

I actually have the utmost respect for Christiano Ronaldo. What an amazing player and can anybody tell me a bad headline in a newspaper about him off the field?

Have to agree, as much as I love CR, Messi is just that little bit better.

Still, two phenomenal athletes and we are blessed to have seen both of them at the same time in their prime as well as havinf one of them play for us.

Is that CR's 4th CL title?

Think that ties him on top of the all time list foe individual medals along with Seedorf.

Lord TSC

Lads, it's match day. Kinda.

Seeing Fergie back at the home bench. So excited for this.

Bale is pushing 30 and seems to be a walking sick note which we have enough of in the squad already. I don't think he'd be worth the fee he'd command.

The Barcelona lads like Messi, Xavi and Iniesta would have won it four times too plus you've got Costacurta and Maldini who have won it five times.

Edit: Bit of googling and Francisco "Paco" Gento won it six times with Real Madrid in the 50s and 60s

He's still 27. 28 in a month. "Pushing 30" seems harsh...

I was actually messing I prefer Ronaldo all today long but i don't subscribe to the who is better argument anymore I think it's like arguing is the black Ferrari nicer then the red Ferrari...

Two of them are the two best footballers hands down the things that make each one good or bad can be dicided by team tactics and individual playstyle I prefer to just say they are both best in the world.

DARK-KNIGHT

the thoughts of Ronaldo coming back will be with me til he retires, I know he wont be back but I would give my left nut to resign him

DARK-KNIGHT

Sergio ramos is one player I don't think I would like to see at our club, he is just **** stirring and in peoples faces constantly.. maybe he would be different away from madrid but by god from the game last night I was willing someone to lash back at him

DM_7

Ronaldo is gone longer than he was at OT. Time to move on.

Wonder if there is any chance of him stopping by Manchester on his way back to Spain today, to play under Fergie one last time. If he does, the crowd can shower with the adoration to beg him back :P

Drumpot

Messi is a superior footballer , ronaldo is a superior athlete.. They are both great footballers, having seen them both play in the flesh I believe Messi has a more instinctive footballer technical ability that ronaldo doesn't have. His close control and getting past players is exceptional. Ronaldo is more speed and power.

It's impossible to say who is "better". I think Rooney could of been as good as ronaldo had he the same application... I believe that was one of the reasons why SAF fell out with him. Not just the contract negotiations but the fact that he didn't really deserve what he wanted. Ronaldo is the perfect example of a footballer who has maximised his potential with amazing drive and practise.

DARK-KNIGHT

so transfer talk who do you really wanna see signed? I cant see real or barca selling players so outside of those two

True, but with his injury record and his reliance on pace he is at the beginning of a downward curve. I would steer clear of him to be honest.

He does have an outrageous left foot to be fair, but I think his pace really sets him apart and makes him unplayable.

Bale is amazing but he's not worth the risk of a big money transfer imo.

RobertKK

Ronaldo has won the biggest trophies in two countries and won with his country. Tell me who currently around who is better that has done that?

btw wouldn't want Benzema if Madrid were to sell, one would think Real Madrid would have a better number 9.

I would love Bale if I was not concerned about his fitness over a season.

Disagree. He's worth the risk.

For those who dont rate Martial or Rashford good enough to lead the line for us would ye be happy with Jose spending €100 m on Mbappe ?? And would ye trust him as our centre forward ??

Nope €100m after 1 season is way too much.

Id rather spend considerably less on a player like Lacazette.

He has the quality, when he's available for selection.

AC Milan bit 60m euro I think for him so that may be where the figures are coming from

Should be €70m+ Morata

De Gea is a €100m player in todays market and we shouldnt be bending over to Real.

yabadabado

Real can have DDG for Bale .Job done.

Anything less they can piss off.Why United would sell DDG for anything less than 100m is baffling to me.

Would absolutely not make that swap. Bale is a quality player but is too injury prone and has likely 4-5 years of his peak left even if he keeps healthy, DDG has no injury problems, is a proven quantity in the squad and has 10-12 years left at his best. Bale is also not vital to them, DDG is to us and has been our best player over the last 5 or so years.

Bale plus 30mn or morta plus 60+. Or Bale and mortality for DDG and around 30mn leaving our account. Doubt any of those happen though, swaps in deals are fairly infrequent.

Nope. And there's very little chance of that happening so doubt we have to worry about it. Mbappe is Real Madrid bound I bet.

I think I read somewhere about if he'll only go to where first team football is guaranteed.

Don't think that would be the case at Madrid.

GSPfan

Im not gonna argue on this because I have nothing to back it up but from watching Morata and Lukaku if I was to want one or the other Id rather have Morata. I just think he would suit us better. I think he would be cheaper than Lukaku which means we still have money for a superstar signing.

Only problem with wanting after Madrid players is why would any of them want to leave?!

Would agree with Morata. Think he is a great player from what I have seen of him. Much better link up player than Lukaku IMO.

No. It would be stupid to spend 100m on Mbappe.

Jayop

Yeah I'd value DeGea over Bale. DeGea could and should be a worldie for another 10 and more years. The very best keepers have all had long careers at the very top.

pjohnson

I'd take Mandzukic all day. He is a natural target man but this season as a left striker has shown he works like a demon and is very unselfish.

Lord TSC

Lampard out of today's game the panto villains are all falling (Gerrard pulled out a day or two ago).
