Ronaldo started in all 6 CL finals he played, Bale played in 4 and started only 2 of them. One of Ronaldo's goals is a penalty in the 120th minute against Atletico who they were already 3-1 up against at that point also.

He is probably the best low cross winger in the premier league and he can do it with his first touch as well.
I have no idea why you think Brennan can't cross but you are flat out wrong and that's not an opinion.
We're not signing David as well as Solanke and keeping Richarlson
And you are absolutely right about this.
That Kulusevski cross cutting in from the right onto his left foot suddenly becomes a factor again.
I accept your criticism but still am completely unimpressed by Johnson. Hope he comes good but can’t see him ever being the creator winger we want to see out right.
Glad to see we are spending again and still hoping we can add at RW.
IMO he’ll be a backup 10/9/RW til at least Jan.
Skipp slightly on the low side but probably due to not being part of the first 11 much.
£60m is pretty normal for an attacker who is the best player at their club. That is just the going market rate be it Solanke, Eze, Neto whoever. Only when the contract is close to done like Bissouma or Maddison do you get cheaper deals.
Having a legit aerial target for our guys to aim at is going to be a revelation.
He had 10 assists in his first season at 22 years of age. I guess it depends on who else we sign as winger and how many minutes Brennan gets but even if you are right that he's far from a 1v1 dribble creator, he will still be creating more than 10 goals for other this season IMO and probably scoring close to 10 as well.

This is how I roughly see our A & B team.
Obviously Skipp, Reg, GLC and Solomon are surplus to requirements and will be moved on.
In the first team it seems we are planning for a new RW so Johnson would move down the pecking order.
In the second team the clear weakness is at LCB/LB and there have been rumours we also want to fill that position.
Forster is a poor backup but I don't think we will improve there this summer.
Tough decisions will need to be made on Devine, Lankshear and Donley. All have great pre-seasons but will get very few minutes if they stay. I think Donley will be kept until (and if) we bring in another left-sided defender. So I expect Devine and Lankshear loans to be announced soon. They are both good enough to get top-end Championship loans imo.
Absolutely and with Lankshear getting some time too.
Spence? He would be the back up RB and maybe even LB at a push for me
Feels a bit like the old schools Spurs days having similar level CFs battling it out.
For so long it's been the Harry Kane team with no serious competition.
Yes that definitely doesn't count as a goal.
Ah yes that's the one I forgot!
He could be used on either side I suppose but the question is also where you fit Gray in. He's shown at Leeds he can play RB and in pre-season he's played CB, 6 and 8 for us.
On paper I think our best 2nd team defence is probably:
Gray - Drag - Davies - Spence
Could make an argument for:
Spence - Gray - Drag - Davies
You are overlooking that at any one time at least 3 players will be unavailable due to injuries and suspensions.
Spence will be the first rotation RB IMO. Also wondering if Phillips might stick around and get Davies rotation minutes at CB. I get that Gray struggled vs Bayern but I'm still willing to bet he's breathing down Bissouma's neck for that #6 role by the end of the season.
It's really one to watch the point you make about the youngsters and the 3rd rotation role for a few positions. Is there really minutes for Lankshear as our 3rd CF? Evidence on last season is probably yes but if it's City away where Ange needs Lankshear as our 3rd CF for any reason, is he really giving him the start? or shifting Kuklusevksi/Son in there? If the answer is no, then Lankshear needs to go on loan.
Has Ange played Gray at RB yet in preseason?
Not sure he sees him as an option there??
Think Gray will play as a 6 or an 8 and take Bentancur spot in the squad
I also wouldn't rule out playing them together as if there's one thing Richy is good at, it's creating space for other attackers
So only Reguillon, Lo Celso, Skipp and Solomon to sell.
