Pretty good return for a 33 year old.

Typical McInnes to miss out on this boy.

Good shout @the boofoon. Source comes through again!

1/2.

 

Spanish boy deal dead I think.

[Dynamo]

Quite a clever move from Ronaldo I think. Financial aspect aside the Italian league being traditionally a bit of a slower game should help him keep scoring as he slows.

I heard the same.

The Basque lad deal still on?

It's in suspenders

No point signing him if he’s deid!

 

Can’t believe we missed out on Ronaldo with DNA cash

[Chewie37]

Would have paid him for a week.

Should noise him up for an AberDNA membership or ten....

[Bluto10]

Would’ve thought the number bods at Old Trafford would’ve been all over this.

[beer gut]

Spunking that much £ on a 33 year old doesn't make financial sense to me. Real Madrid will be laughing like fuck at that deal.

[Proud9]

They'll make a shit load from shirt sales and merchandising. Unless they've gave him a ridiculous amount for his image rights in his contract

[Pash]

I hate football.

[StandFree1982]

 

Yeah, it's hard sometimes. Juve will have done their sums and won't be losing money.

 

Merchandise / Shirt sales and the huge marketting potential will quickly recoup the money they are spending. That and he's also not a bad kicker of a football.

[Reed or deed]

That'll be because you don't understand finance I would think

You couldnt finance a trip to poundstretcher.

I know he's a 33 year old and his value will only decrease so they have basically spunked away millions.

His resale value will decrease, but that's about all.

 

For some teams spending money to improve your playing squad is considered a good thing.

FIAT are apparently helping to finance the deal and their workers and furious. Its just weird that the big hitters PSG / Chelsea / Man City / Utd didn't even look a him. Tells me they don't think he's worth it. Could be a master stroke. Could be a disaster. Time will tell.

Italy have lower income tax than France, Germany and the UK. It may only be 2% lower but when you're earning 120m over 4 years its still 2.4m over his contract, 600k a year.

 

Ronaldo had his pick of where he wanted to go, he's went where he's financially best off and can still win trophies. He could've went to China for a really big pay day and he might still do that in 2-3 years time to put another whack in the bank before he retires.

[Don Fonte]

Think it's also fairly obvious Juve want to be seen as one of the big European clubs. They've won the Italian league many years in a row and want to push on. The publicity and spotlight on their club is worth it for them I guess.

 

In other news, who really gives a fuck.

 

cool

 

beers

 

Fucking sign someone Milne you teuchter cunt.

Majority don't even bother to pay their taxes.

[tightbreeks]

Kane and dele alli off to madrid

[Just Dandy]

Can't see this ending well.

 

The Italian players will not respond well to the concept of Cristiano FC.

 

He'll be just another player there, expected to do his bit, and he won't like it.

[shut up meg]

Kane and dele alli off to madrid

 

Based on the last few games, they would be a waste of money.

Kane was like Adam Rooney today, slow as fuck and a waste of a jersey.

Thats why they flee the country and and up in Italy.
