Papers reporting that Jose doesn't buy CR7's availability and believes he is just angling for more money from RM. Whether he believes that or not, it's a smart move from JM as it removes United as a leveraging party, without closing the door if he's wrong and CR7 does want to move.

Still think we should sign him if possible, but this way we limit how much we can be strung along as leverage for Mendes to hold RM over a. barrel.

Good post mate, though not sure we should sign him if he becomes available; JM clearly has a plan for next season and knows what players he wants to fit the system. Signing Ronaldo would throw all that out of the window and require the team to be built around his needs - then in a few years when he's gone, there would be no structure, just a bug CR7 hole.

Hope Jose sticks to his plan and not gives in to Woodiz craving for a megastar: would be very happy with a DCM, attacker and forward.

With Jose now called out about tax issues in Spain, if I was a player I would think long and hard about going to Spain. For you guys DDG may stay and Morata and Ronaldo may want to move ASAP. Looks like the TAX office are going after easy targets - this may back fire.

Wouldn't surprise me if RM themseves were behind the Ronaldo rumours with the intention of complicating the Morata deal and ultimately getting a better price.

If Ronaldo does leave to another European country and is convicted in his absence of tax fraud, what happens when he has to return to Spain to play a Champions League game, would he be arrested as he stepped off the plane.

Naymar, messi, ronaldo, jose, all big names and earners, coincidence? Who next bale, Suarez, no Spanish looks like a witch hunt to me and nobody has broke the rules more than Madrid.
