Ronaldo agrees £3.3 million a week contract with Al Nassr

[WATP]

Good on him, at this stage in his career he's f*ck all left to prove.

Coast his way into retirement with some tax-free oil money.

Exactly that, he’s hopefully realised his time at the very top is up, as is Messi’s. Let them choose where they can enjoy life now with their families and be safe in the knowledge that their grandkids will want for nothing either, in fact probably their grand kids grand kids!!!

 

[dt17]

Never seen such an insecure superstar as Ronaldo. Incredible talent, got the looks and the body, gets adored throughout world but you always feel that he’s not happy and lives his life comparing it to others.

He’ll probably sign for the Saudis just to show he can get paid more than Messi.

He was boasting to Piers Morgan that he had more social media followers than Messi.

Count the Ballon d'Ors buddy.

[permatan]

So he goes full nuclear at one of the world's biggest clubs, claiming that they lack ambition and standards, only to move to Saudi Arabia?

 

[dt17]

18 goals in a woeful Man utd side last season. That´s a very decent return.

Still has plenty to offer high level clubs in europe.

Have you watched him in the World Cup? He's trying to do step overs and falling over the ball.

At this stage in his career he's basically a penalty box striker. Nothing wrong with that, simply that age has caught up with him. Still a deadly finisher and excellent in the air.

 

[Scarface]

Incredible deal for him financially.

As if he needs the money.

Absurd amount.

 

[WinkieWATP]

3/4 of a Billion over 3 years.

Nice work of you can get it.

 

[Ross_]

I thought he would go back to sporting Lisbon as well.

But 3m a week is mental money even if he’s playing in a sh1thope of a league.

 

[Bristol_bnose3]

Probably thinking that if he moves to the desert he can save on his heating bill this winter.

Smarter than he looks.

 

[Caskie]

Come and play football for us for two years and your grandkids’ grandkids should never have to work a day in their lives

Wee Billy- ‘Bolt’

Comments like this take the posters personal experience and apply it to Ronaldo.

He’s not some normal guy, he’s already worth £500m, and has multiple businesses and investments bringing in millions. His grandkids already won’t have to work a day in their lives, especially as his sons look to be following in his footsteps footballing wise.

Ronaldo defines himself by the records he sets and holds. Being the highest paid player is his motivation, as it’s the only way going forward he can claim to be at an elite level.

No, he’s been offered £340m to play football for two years at the end of his career. Doesn’t matter how much money you already have… that’s an offer no man can refuse imo

 

[willieorwont_he]

I read that he had been offered this, but not that he agreed. I suppose they have to wait for the end of the WC

 

[WBD]

As if someone, anyone, is going to knock back £3m a week FFS.

Who cares how much money he has already. This is a guy whose career at the top level is clearly over yet he has done it all in the game. There's nothing left for him to prove so why not go and make that ridiculous amount of money in semi retirement?

Not like he is pissing off at 27 having won nothing in Europe.

He has more money than he could ever spend. Trust me. If had the money he has. I would knock it back. No doubt. Not everyone's life is ruled by the coin.

 

[Pirlo]

Imagine being that disturbed over a footballer, especially one as good as Cristiano Ronaldo.

I think it’s hilarious that yourself, Dynamo (and a fair few others) get so wound up by my thoughts and opinions on a footballer that doesn’t play for Rangers. My mere presence in these threads seems raise the blood pressure a lot. It can’t be healthy

 

[Scrubs UK]

Might help him pay off a few more court cases.

Ah, the old turn it around tactic.

You are definitely the healthy one in these threads mate.

 

[Mr. T.]

Nonsense

It’s only nonsense if that’s the type of mindset you have.

 

[QueensferryCR3Bear]

Just when you think you hate him enough.

What a boy though

Why would you hate him, we'd all do it if Rangers didnt put an offer on the table.

 

[Pirlo]

Ah, the old turn it around tactic.

You are definitely the healthy one in these threads mate.

Tactic? Some of you seen mildly obsessed by my thoughts on the player, you’ve just been so focussed on me you’ve failed to spot the irony. But I hope you get better mate.

 

[Boab4]

It’s only nonsense if that’s the type of mindset you have.

No one in their right mind knocks back £3m a week ffs.

 

[Souness86]

Tactic? Some of you seen mildly obsessed by my thoughts on the player, you’ve just been so focussed on me you’ve failed to spot the irony. But I hope you get better mate.

Aye we're all obsessed with you Spooge hahaha. Absolute weirdo.

 

[bluestory]

Why would you hate him, we'd all do it if Rangers didnt put an offer on the table.

Because the boy is a weapon whether he makes this move or not.

 

[Mr. T.]

No one in their right mind knocks back £3m a week FF

Maybe not many, but definitely not nobody.

 

[Sandbear]

There isn’t a single person on this thread who wouldn’t take that. I’d be buying out Elon Musk at Tesla afterwards.

Of course we wouldn’t but we are not multi millionaires many times over.
He could retire now and it would make little difference to his lifestyle.
Everyone on this thread could retire after a week of that money and it would change their and their childrens lives forever.

 

[Pirlo]

Aye we're all obsessed with you Spooge hahaha. Absolute weirdo.

Yep, you really are

 

[Sandbear]

No one in their right mind knocks back £3m a week ffs.

£3 m a week to live in Saudi or 20k a week to live in Lisbon when already extremely rich say, olá, estou em casa.

 

[UncertainSmile]

He could have signed the pre-contract in a few weeks. No need whatsoever for the cringe interview. Sensational player but a complete throbber of a guy.

 

[club175]

At least move somewhere that isn’t a complete toilet . Chosen one of the most miserable countries in the world with a junior league to retire

 

[Scarface]

Fuckin mental!

I dont get why these guys need a vast amount of money to live on.

Nice house, cars and property which we can only dream of, but they always seem to draw a commanding fee and contract.

Suppose that is what the agent is for.

Not giving a shit about a client, just furnishing his own pocket.

 

[GourockBlue50]

He needs something for his retirement.

 

[Super Cooper]

Bedroom tax sorted now then.

 

[DJ Blue]

Knows he doesn't have the game to play at the highest level anymore and that Messi is a superior player so cashing in.

 

[LowryRfc]

Over £3 million a week, what the damn hell, Saudi Arabia too ffs

 

[4KHDTV]

No ones ever catching his goal records now, will bang them and stat pad his record to the extreme in that league.

 

[Byson]

Jesus Christ , £5.45 for a second fart

 

[Ced's Atomic Dustbin]

At least move somewhere that isn’t a complete toilet . Chosen one of the most miserable countries in the world with a junior league to retire

So he is coming to Celtic, then?

 

[Ianis 4 the 55]

He'll score 100 goals there. Nobody will ever pass his record. Happy ending. Netflix documentary material.

 

[Tino_Col]

He'll do decent over there. League not up to much imo.

 

[calibear1872]

Good on him, at this stage in his career he's f*ck all left to prove.

Coast his way into retirement with some tax-free oil money.

Plus will score goals for fun to cement his records. Could have done that with us too for 3.3K a week

 

[roadster198]

Bet he’d be pish on December up in Dingwall though. Billionaire or not

 

[SamEng]

As a wise man said,you can't eat principles.He's got all the tin medals he needs.Good for him I say.The big handsome lucky bassa!

 

[_BlueNose_]

Sickening

 

[Aragorn]

TBH still a decent player but I think this WC has shown us and CR that age catches up with everybody eventually.

 

[Randomscotsman]

3.3 million per week? Typo, surely!!

Probably not, some of the liv golfers got crazy money to join plus they still earn prize money.

 

[rtid]

At least move somewhere that isn’t a complete toilet . Chosen one of the most miserable countries in the world with a junior league to retire

“a complete toilet”…how many times have you been to Saudi mate ?

 

[bear wi nae hair]

That is basically double Al Nassrs entire annual revenue on a single players annual salary.

Surely the Middle East financial fair play regulators will be all over this?

I heard they were mate, so the risk family had them executed and the deal was back on

 

[Manc Bear]

stupid move, already so minted the money doesn't even register.

Stupid move? £13.2m big ones per month, tax free for 2 years. A crazy move right enough

 

[vinnie]

Probably not, some of the liv golfers got crazy money to join plus they still earn prize money.

That’s fair. It is difficult to comprehend.

 

[Manc Bear]

£3 m a week to live in Saudi or 20k a week to live in Lisbon when already extremely rich say, olá, estou em casa.

It’s Saudi all day long by every man on here

 

[Henry Hill]

You can see now why he would want ouf of that low paying gig at United.

He has played Piers Morgan for the tool he is ...

Aye Piers will be gutted
