But could also be even worse than expected like Zidane return. Other than goals he’s declined massively, the few times I’ve watched him this season he’s had stinkers, worse player on pitch.

Arguably part of it is to do with how they play. He joined an Allegri side who weren't going to get better after 2017. It never felt like he has anywhere near the same understanding with his partners like he did in Madrid. But I didn't watch a lot.

I think he's an instant upgrade over Benzema if that was the 1-to-1 squad change to make. And if it could be negotiated that he takes a paycut in 2022 to facilitate Mbappe and/or Haaland, I'd take him for anything up to 50.

You'd need a good creative midfielder to deliver chances to CR though. Who do you have in mind?

What does that mean? Hazard, Fede, old Modrić, Odegaard. Plenty of creativity.

Should come to Barca if no chance to sign Haaland. Barca lacks mental strength and a poacher.

Ronaldo has declined a lot but he also gets no service. This Juve team is dreadful creativity-wise. Look at the heatmap of received passes in the attacking half for these players:

Haaland, Lewa and Ibra receive a lot of balls in the opposition box. Messi gets fed in his favorite number 10 area. Ronaldo looks like a left winger who just hugs the byline. Don't know what his xG is but 24 goals in 26 starts (Seria A + CL) is pretty good for someone with that heatmap given that his pace/explosiveness has deteriorated so he cannot create chances for himself by cutting inside as Mbappe does, for instance.

Great great pic ! Yes Juve's midfield is trash since his first season there. Nowadays he gets a lot more service in his national team than in club team. [MENTION=29773]Rassvet[/MENTION]

CR7 is usually pretty smart about career planning. He knew when to ditch United for RM...which is why it's surprising that he didn't ditch RM for PSG. Where he would have had much better chances to win the CL.

I think on the one hand he didnt want to go to a oil club like PSG and on the other hand he knew that ligue 1 is a farmer league. Even for golden boot you get only factor 1.5 instead of 2.

Edit: An another reason was that he wouldnt have thought that Juve is that bad. I mean before he went to Juve, they were two times in final in four years.

CR went to Juve because he thought he won Real Madrid their Champions League titles on his own and could do the same with Juve.

Only thing he did was mess up for himself and two teams.

that applause at Juventus Stadium tickled and pleasured his narcissism too much, he couldn't resist :lol:

I think they changed the rules of the golden boot, with ligue 1 being in the top 5 league, you get a factor of 2 instead of 1.5
