When he was at his prime, playing for Real and he could deliver no one would blame, but the game was always about himself. All the tactics were made for him to score more and be the star. It worked given the players Real had, he has done his job. But now he's old if you build a team like that Real teams were, just foor him to take the responsability to win matches, you will fail, and all your player will be wasted in the function of just create for Ronaldo to score. It's what happened to Juve and to United, they became far worse team with him in the squad and I doubt it will be different everywhere he goes, the game is just about himself.

‘Lost that DNA’ – Ronaldo accused of disrupting Juventus ethic
DECEMBER 24, 2021 - 10:07 PM
Gianluigi Buffon has blamed Cristiano Ronaldo for changing the dynamic of Juventus squad.
The Old Lady have been on a downward spiral in recent seasons, dropping from clear title winners, to narrow winners, and onto simply scraping into the top-four last term.
This season isn´t looking any better than the last at present either, and while I would intimate that the constant managerial changes have definitely played a role, Buffon believes that the signing of Cristiano was the major change for the club.
‘Juventus had the chance to win the Champions League the first year he arrived, which was the year I was at Paris Saint-Germain, and I couldn’t figure out what happened,’ Buffon told TUDN.
‘When I returned, I worked with Ronaldo for two years and we did well together, but I think Juventus lost that DNA of being a team.
‘We reached the Champions League final in 2017 because we were a side full of experience, but above all we were a single unit and there was this competition for places within the group that was very strong. We lost that with Ronaldo.’
While it is hard to disagree with Buffon, the decision to sign CR7 stems from the top. The dynamics of the team land on the head of those in charge, and the reality is that he did his job in front of goal.
Does Buffon appear to be blaming Ronaldo or simply his time in Turin?

Brighton and Hove Albion prepare to sell Bissouma for £25m to Spurs
Brighton and Hove Albion are expected to sell Yves Bissouma to Tottenham Hotspur for £25 million, according to The Times.

Levy knows Bloom (Brighton owner) and its MD, Paul Barber, used to work at Spurs so its assumed Spurs will have had access to confidential info re the legal position before buying.
Seeing as the club will be competing in the league, caribou cup, FA cup, and some silly little European cup there will be plenty of games for 4 or even 5 forwards if we have quality options.
Sixteen players play next season. The dynamics of football are changing. This obsession with starting 11’s is RIP
Bissouma is a great signing, really happy.
What I do find funny though is that does anyone remember Levy's line of "it's not as easy as fans think to sign players", clearly it is when you pay the money!
Just kidding, great day all round. Onto the next one.

odd his contract is only to 2026 - 4 yrs, most are for 5 yrs. academic though ?
Exactly. Unless we are getting rid of one of them it won't happen
Better for your health if you try not to get used to it to be honest.
Not just paying the money, it’s removing that thoroughly
Unlikeable weird dwarf from negotiations. Less charisma than Fred west
Let that problem figure itself out. The best sides don’t think ‘we’ve got someone there we like already’, they bring them in and let them compete. Look at Real for example, fresh off a CL and very strong in midfield (both with current starters and future prospects) and still whipped out €100m for Tchouchameni or however it’s spelt.
4 into 3 is not a difficult ratio to keep happy

From his perspective it just means there's scope for one last big contract in his career..... If we tie him up til he's 30 that's potentially gone.
true but/many most other Spurs contracts 5 years often with option for a further year.
The difference between us and Chelsea in 2013 was quite significant in terms of wages we could offer, CL, manager, clout. The gap is significantly smaller now between us and the big teams.
Which is why there was nothing to worry about.
