Liverpool dramatically overperforming imo.

Supposedly they wanted to pay United a 20 million transfer fee and then give Ronaldo a 2 year contract for 500 million. I'm not sure if that was in Euros or GBP, though. Dunno if that's still on the table, but uh, yes please if it is. The thing is I doubt United even rejected that transfer in August, Ronaldo just wasn't interested in going there.

he's probably good enough to play the Darren Bent role where the point of the game is exclusively to pass the ball to Darren Bent, but he's not good enough any more to justify a big fancy club that people talk about on the internet playing that system for him plus he's not willing to drop to playing for an uncool club that nobody likes and for a sensible wage

the irony is that he had a lot of goodwill at United given his history, and we'd likely have given him Ronald wages for another couple of years and maybe a coaching role or something, but I guess he's really angling for that player-manager at Villa role

He struggled to do much of anything in EL matches against Moldovan and Cypriot clubs. Switching to a mid-table PL club with less skilled players crossing the ball to him isn't going to help.

Maybe he can work in a striker partnership where the other striker does all the work and Ronaldo just sits in empty spaces waiting for a pass but he can't actually do anything else.
