CR7 coming home!

Cristiano Ronaldo coming home?

Personally, I have mixed feelings about this.

For one, Cristiano is well-beyond his peak years. Yes, undeniably, he is still a goal-scoring machine, proven by statistics of his time at Juve, and before that, at Madrid. But with the current players to don Man U jersey, especially with the overwhelming number of strikers, where does Cristiano stand out? How can Ole fit him into the team? Cavani has proved that he is more than capable to be the main man, and Greenwood is also a very reliable deputy. Martial is also available, though he is only the third rank in my list. So the choice for strikers is not a worrying situation.

Secondly, Cristiano will be paid a ridiculous amount of RM2,769,600.00 per week. Equivalent to 480,000 pound sterling. This amount of money can easily cover two or three other top players’ wages, ie: a defensive midfielder at the very least. But my guess is Man U @ the listed company is looking at this acquisition as a brilliant investment. Definitely fans will flock back to the stadium, visit the merchandise store, watch the live coverage etc = making money : )

Do u know that a season ticket costs over 530 pound sterling @ RM 3000++. Sendiri mau ingat lahh!

On another note, I feel that this is more because of a sentimental reason. Cristiano did United proud when he played for them last time. So, that feeling still lingers around and the management and the fans can’t help but to feel a bit nostalgic about past events, thus the reason of having him for a second time. They hope that Cristiano will help them achieve past glory again. And also Man U can’t bear to see him wearing the blue color of Manchester. No way Jose! But from a business perspective, It is Cristiano’s right to choose which ever team that can afford him. But if he were to choose based purely on his love for football (I mean, he has enough money to live forever) he wouldn’t just choose any team. He would choose a team that adores him, which is definitely Manchester United lah!

I hope he will do well in his second stint at Old Trafford. And for that, all D best Cristiano!!

Fightinggggggg!
