*January Transfer Window 2014/15 Season Rumours/Signings*

I'm willing to give Real Madrid a snickers, my old iPhone 5s and maybe £20 think that would be enough?

Are you a bit broken?

How can you look at the current transfer market and think he'll be worth less than that? Even in a year or two.

Am i broken? No.

How can you say spending 60mill plus on someone with their prime behind them who will have virtually no resale value afterwards be a good buy?

**** it im going to give luis fillio figo a call. Let's pay him 10 million a year and a 50 million signing on fee he's still got a year or two left right?
 
This thread won't stay open for long if the petty arguing continues. Stick to discussing possible January transfers and do so nicely.

Wow...talk about missing the point.

Ronaldo is still the best player in the world, probably be in the running next year as well. So why would his value drop next year by a dramatic amount when players like Di Maria and Falcao (he's 28) are going for the value they are.

Mental

Hit 30 and suddenly your value drops over 50%, hilarious

Papers are full of ****.
There's no way that Chelsea will spend the sort of money Ronaldo will command on a 30 year old now.
They should read the other crap they print before printing more.

Overpaying and panic buying seem to go hand in hand. How much do you think falcao would be worth at 30?
 
Ronaldo wont be going anywhere while he is still capable of scoring at a decent rate.

They will let him go when he stops producing, its the way of things.
 
In Courtois you have longevity and the GK i'd regard as the 2nd best around (Neuer is quite clearly the best). Well played by Chelsea.

IMO Cech dropped a level when he had his injury. He's never looked as good as he did before, which is crazy, since he's still pretty damn reliable.
 
Said it for the past couple of seasons that Courtois was an absolutely fantastic young keeper, many Chelsea fans on here were doubtful.

I would agree that Cech never looked quite as good post injury and I would argue too (as I have said at times) he's looked on borrowed ground for the last couple of seasons.

I'm not sure about Courtois being the second best around, but would agree he's up there as one of the better keepers in world football. Fantastic player and Chelsea (like Manchester Untied in that regard) have a first choice goalkeeper for the next ~10-15 years if they manage to keep them that long.
 
Ronaldo is super-fit and looks after himself. He's probably got 2 more years at the very top. Look how long Giggs remained useful even after being well passed his peak. Wages aside, 60M for somebody who's proved himself in the 2 top leagues and has good mileage left is almost a bargain.
 
They'd probably get £30-50m back in merchandise alone even if he was only there for 3 years.

And Ronaldo won't suddenly disappear. He might suffer a few more niggly injuries, but his strength wasn't his pace on the ball, it was his pace off it and mind on it, and what he loses in outright pace over the next 5 years he's perfectly capable of adapting to a slightly slower, more methodical approach - and dare I say it even more clinical (in terms of assists at least).

If it's an option to any club, you pay what you have to pay, because he'll pay you back both on and off the field.

For right or wrong I dont think Ronaldo will ever be good in regards to number of assists, he has always been far too selfish to have a massive assist count (not saying thats bad per se given how great a player he is, but still valid imo).

Emotionally I would love him to come back to OT - Im just not sure that money could be put to MUCH better use elsewhere in the team (although potentially wiht Ronaldo and ADM, Januzzaj and De Gea to name a few, Im sure players could possibly beg to join if/when CL games come back)

I didnt mention Falcao on that list just in case there is some Agent deal in place to "swap" Falcao with Ronny
 
Ronaldo game has always been about pace and power with amazing tricks and skills thrown in.

he's not like pirlo who can still ping a 60 yard pass after turning into a bit of space.
