If he's able to deliver the CL for Juve, that will be a big thing for them. They've only ever won in Europe twice. Last time they won it was over 20 years ago. That's why they want Ronaldo. They're European record isn't great considering how long they been a dominant force in Serie A.
I highly doubt Ronaldo has gone for money and to retire. He'd have gone to America, China or the Middle East if he wanted more money and to go into semi retirement.
I guess if Shahid Kahn is chucking around bids to take Wembley of the FA's hands then he must have some kind of ambitious footballing plans too, right? Maybe he's managed to turn Seri's head with a lot of big talk (as well as the standard sack-with-the-dollar-sign-on-it full of cash, of course)? Wouldn't be the first time it's happened.
Plus it's not a bad part of town to live in either, I guess.
Also, maybe no one else actually bid for him.
Liverpool signing Shaqiri.

Bit of a comedown from the Fekir hype.
Don't know what to make of Shaqiri. Clearly a player with a lot of ability but he still hasn't really exploded.
His shirt nearly exploded.
Fat fuck
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
I've always thought transfer windows should be looked at in pairs if the genuine need to spend more than is desirable is there. Allocate 50 million per window (for instance)which is more than achievable for a sell run club with a sustainable business model. You pledge not to spend a positive net in January then make this windows signings.
You then bring in Stephen L at right back (if you want...but he isn't my cup of tea), Torreira and Oblak who in my view is in the top 3 goalkeepers in the world and only mid 20's so would retain a resale value and perhaps (and I hate to say it).... Johnny Evans.....a cheap reliable player to steady the back line.
The fact there is any debate anywhere that Leno will start and that it might be Cech starting speaks volumes. If you ignore the fees then it's spending a record Arsenal fee on a goalkeeper on a player you are unsure of but hope will step up......vs signing a world class keeper at a great age who will retain his value. Only reason why you would choose Leno is money...and given how big an issue the positiOn has become through years of neglect and a shoddy defence I would opt to add 1 world class player to the back line.
We would be talking a lot of money for Oblak but I don't think we could name many players the world over we could pay that amount for who would virtually guarantee that level of quality in any position. Maybe Aubameyang before we signed him......and we were particularly fortuitous on that one.
