In the news they reckon Mourinho is offering De Gea in part swap for Morata and Ronaldo plus £180M.
Bargain rolleyes
Will be if De Gea is going anyway. If he has said he wants to leave, he is worth very little to us.

All that said,I think there is almost zero chance of Ronaldo leaving RM.

It will be very sad if De Gea goes. For all the talk about Romero, he has had several good games but mostly had nothing to do. It is supremely optimistic to think he can replace De Gea.

I think as a short term stop gap he is a very good keeper and can do a job for us. Only IF we lose De Gea.

Real will love this. If we show any interest in the mega swap deal it'll really screw with Dave's head again irrespective of whether Ronaldo is serious or not.

Ok i'll be first to go....

Whats your thoughts on Ronaldo potentially coming back? I'm reading this morning about a 180 million deal that is Ronnie and Morata our way and DeGea the other. Personally I think we're on the better side of the deal with that and still have time to get a keeper in, if needed at all!

Ronnie might be 32 but he is an incredible athlete who has at least another 3 years at the very top and like Pogba, merchandise etc alone will no doubt cover that over a pretty short period of time!
I'll be indulgent. I'd take the swap and try to sign Schmiechel.

It'd be nice if Ronaldo showed a bit of respect to United and didn't use the rumors to have his tax bill paid off which is where this will end up.

Agreed.

I really do think it's sheer quesswork to say Ronaldo has lots of good years ahead of him. He obviously looks after himself, but there is a huge element of randomness to when a player wakes up to find that his legs have given up to on him.
It is rarely before 30 and rarely after 34 so he is smack bang in the zone.

To be fair we have no clue who is spreading the rumours. Clubs, Newspapers, Journo's, Player, Agents. Could be anyone.

Every season big names get talked about as part of a swap deal, and every year they never happen. Rather than stop talking up these nonsense deals they've doubled down and added an extra player or two!

If I was represented by Mendes I'd be getting a bit worried. That's Falcao, Ronaldo and Mourinho that are being investigated now.

Messi is currently serving his 21 month sentence on probation as does anyone who gets a sentence for under two years for tax evasion.

It's a horrible thought but it had occured to me too.

Hopefully we're both wrong frown

Well those Ronnie rumours have sunk quicker than a bag full of kittens in the Leeds and Liverpool canal.

Just as well really, its the disappointment that kills you in the end. We should be looking at achievable goals only.
