deflection tactics when he KNOWS he f*cked up in this thread

WE prefer to talk about CR7 instead of talking about being 7th. Hope you get OUR book on Dec 7.

WE prefer to not mention Bale, Kroos and Modric anymore....after all the gra gra last season

:lol:

If CR7 ends the season as the top scorer in Serie A, will he become the first player in history to be the top scorer in England, Spain, and Italy? Heck, has any other player even been top scorer in 3 of Europe's 5 elite leagues? (England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France)

There are other, more important things to think about, though. Results had improved under Solari, overtaking Julen Lopetegui in terms of points gained, but while they won, they didn’t win many over. On one level, at least, that’s not surprising. He arrived 10 weeks into the season, a temporary coach formally made permanent a fortnight later yet never really backed as a fixture, always likely to be the weakest link. While it is forgotten amidst their European success, he also inherited a team that finished third last season, 17 points behind Barcelona. There was a reason Zinedine Zidane left. Lots of them, in fact. And Cristiano Ronaldo departed soon after. Lopetegui lasted 138 days.

I would sincerely love this to turn into an honest appraisal of how the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo CR7 has affected Madrid.

Zidane not that much because managers have always come and gone at Madrid. But I think papa ohsee would love that angle and I'm willing to dabble with that one

That would be some feat man. Especially at that age.

It would. I think the closest anyone else has come to it are Luis Suarez and Ruud Van Nisteelrooy (who were stop scorers in Holland, England, and Spain).

Of the currently active strikers who can feasibly emulate Ronaldo - Messi, Lewandowski, Kane, and Aguero would have to move countries twice more in their career to do it. Not likely...
