Yeah,him getting sold this summer wouldn't be a shocker. He'll be 31 and 5-7 months and it's the perfect time to sell him. We can still get some nice money from him and you know what they say "You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain" (or something like that). I think it's better to do it while fans still appreciate CR and we'll get used to a Ronaldo-less RM faster. We already have Bale and Benzema and we could buy somebody else and we can easily scrape by. If the donkey Bale was getting the same treatment like Ronaldo did,he'd also score a lot. Ronaldo is completely different from 2-3 years ago, he's still amongst the best but there are players who could do a similar job for us. I'm personally surprised that we didn't go for Depay/Martial, they seem like natural replacements for CR. It makes me feel like the LW/LM spot is already taken . I expect us to look something like this next summer:
Navas/DDG/Leno
Danilo- Varane- Ramos - Marcelo ( I think we'll sell Pepe and get somebody expensive like Laporte/Mustafi but we can also go for some riskier and cheaper prospect)
Modrić-Kroos
James-Bale-Isco
Benzema
Even without transfers our squad is still amazing and It could work after some time but it would be SHOCKING if we didn't buy a galactico for 2 seasons,especially if we sell Ronaldo. I think I could see something with Verratti and Ronaldo happening. Ibra is gone next summer and they won't have a huge name player. Ronaldo could do them wonders in terms of marketing,shirt sales,ticket sales etc. Surely Cavani won't be their big name,that woud be just ridiculous. Other huge names are already taken and I don't think Aguero would be willing to join them. I'm not sure anymore if Hazard is worth 100 M and Chelsea could even ask 150 in this retarded market. If Isco doesn't improve his game drastically then his hope of first team spot is as good as dead,even if Ronaldo is sold.
