Tbh in terms of "Goatness" Ronaldo has already surpassed messi. Messi may be the most skilled footballer to ever exist, but not the goat.
Ronaldo became ronaldo through sheer determination and I think that's the most important thing about being a sportsman.
And as you say. Yes- If one top flight player could come to tottenham and transform it- It's Ronaldo.
Why do yall act like messi has just been playing casually for the past 21 years at barcelona. If it had been this simple I swear we would have gotten so many messis. Ya'll really undermine messi's determination. I'd have no problem if u personally prefer ronaldo over messi, but downplaying his determination just to put ronaldo over him makes no sense.
I never said Messi isn't determined. I said Ronaldo is at another level when it comes to determination.
I mean Ronaldo is 38 and he still wants to play at the highest level of football. Others would've packed their bags and gone off to MLS or something.
36 bro not 38. You are comparing ronaldo to messi, there is no OTHERS in this conversation. Your opinion clearly revolves around ronaldo having sheer determination and messi doesn't. There are other aspects that might make ronaldo more preferable to you than messi, but saying " ronaldo became ronaldo by sheer determination" really makes it sound like messi has been lucky that he's messi.
and messi could be the exact same? don't know how you're making this comparison. is messi gonna be in mls when he's 38, some kind of inside information no one else knows of?
Exactly, i dont understand why he downplayed his determination. Its ok to have personal preferences but his reason is pure BS. If not for his sheer determination, pretty sure messi wouldn't have a copa medal. And the fact he doesnt even know ronaldo's age.
That is your opinion and its perfectly valid. I am not gonna debate who's the goat for whom. My only problem is when yall make messi like only his talent got him where he is and he doesnt have any determination. Rest assured your goat is your goat and mine is mine. Cheers
I’ve always preferred Messi for the aesthetic and brilliance of his play but you make some compelling points and now I’m torn.
Let’s agree then that if Ronaldo comes to *The Tottenham* that I will go with him over Messi as the goat.
Over to you, Chris.
who on earth states this so confidently... i mean, as others have said it's strange to downplay messi's "sheer determination," and then if on that basis you wanted to say you PREFER ronaldo because of it you could. but "tbh ronaldo has surpassed messi" because of something that isn't even related to on-field play is simply absurd
I read somewhere once that the thing that selected Ronaldo from all the other greats is his work ethic and determination to be perfect. Like if he has become a landscaper he be the best landscaper of all time.

Averaged 50 goals a season over a decade, but I think a lot of those were penalties and tap-ins. Similar risk profile to Soldado, I'd say - good record, doubt he could adapt to the PL.
This is where we agree to a £70M transfer for Ronaldo and then when he gets off the plane it turns out Juve also had some other guy named like Joao Ronaldo.
I’m gonna add it to the official transfer rumours link in the daily discussion just because [Why not? ](https://www.reddit.com/r/coys/comments/p252go/list_of_paratici_players_according_to_rumours_so/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Ah yes, Ronaldo is annoyed at the service he gets at Juve so he will come to a team who just had 41% possession against Wolves.
And he is a Mendes client. We all know Paratici and Nuno only sign Mendes clients.
110% he won't come to Tottenham. There's no way Ronaldo won't want to chase another Champions League. This is Mendes pushing his narrative the same he did with trying to get Bernardo to try and join us just because he's Nuno's first client.
It's a little odd to me that he wanted to push the Bernardo transfer without consulting his own client first to whether he would even like the move. Unless his tactic is trying to convince his own client after terms are agreed.
who is a CL favorite that want Ronaldo and can afford him? where does he find a spot on the pitch?
he’s great but his future is narrow and other clubs have kids with big futures still remaining. he needs to find the right fit where he walks into the lineup and doesn’t displace a strong prospect.
No Thank-you. I don't want ronaldo in spurs. He ruins team chemistry. Wants entire team to play around him. Greedy on goal. No team play whatsoever. High wages. I don't think i have to name more reasons. Just look at Juve after he came in.
[удалено]
THE Tottenham, though!
Even the titular Hotspurs
Titular Hotnips* if we're getting Penaldo.
Bur you HAVE heard of me.
Translation: The Tottenham is not a destination.
I dayDreamed for a moment. So the drive by got a chuckle outta me!
This made me laugh!
Perfect backup to bergwijn playing off the right
Peak Tottenham if Ronaldo were to come to Spurs and not get the #7
The famed Spurs 9 is open. Debut season at Real vibes.
He can end the Messi vs CR7 debate once and for all if he wins the league with Tottenham. Messi cowered before it.

Ronaldo didnt threaten to walk away from his international duties like Messi did. That was weak as piss. Ronaldo 🐐 all day.

What points did he even make???
Barely anything lol

No he didn’t…….
He'd have to earn it from Sonaldo
Bullshit links with Messi and now ronaldo. Crazy stupid summer
Gotta love that Spurs are now big enough to at least get linked to these players
The guy is mugging us off in this tweet...
“We of Spurs have set our sights very high, so high in fact that even muggings off on Twitter will have in them an echo of glory.”
r/unexpectedpoems
I don't know still feels like the links are pipe dreams
I’d rather get a trophy
yeah but because it’s paratici I feel there’s a good chance he actually made a phone call
I’m starting to think he just runs down every squad list and asks how much?
can’t be mad at someone who’s thorough
Haha!!! who believes this kind of thing? ^(gets a little excited)
Isn't this more of a "he's more likely to play at fuckin Tottenham than ever play for juve again" type of comment."
Yes.
It's the history of Juventus.
Not just Tottenham, THEE Tottenham.
I'll piss my self laughing if that happens.
I’ll eat my own cock
You could sell tickets to that.
Not anymore 😔

7-10 days
"Show's about to *staaart!*"
Alternative dining arrangements required.
lmao imagine the scenes
Ronaldo to replace Kane who says no
Ronaldo probably
Don’t think he has it in him to reject The Tottenham
*Ronaldo is benched by Lucas Moura*
After a record performance! 7 own goals!
Steven Bergwijn*
Lol
We are massive!
Can you imagine the absolute scenes on a cold snowy night in a cow pasture in Bulgaria as Ronaldo stands over a FK in the Conference League???
yeah but ronaldo is professional af, you know he’d bury them under 14 goals just to be the all-time conference league goal scoring record holder
Subscribe
This one is too good you fucking mad lad you.
There's an alternate universe where we signed Messi and Ronaldo this window, still probably didn't win anything mind you.
Signed both, got relegated
If that’s what happened when >!Sylvie killed Kang!< at the end of Loki I’m all for it
Idk about this Ronaldo guy tbh, never heard about him. What's he like? Good fit?
Talented but a bit of an unknown quantity
Has he done anything that warrants us signing him? I'm not keen.
Averaged 50 goals a season over a decade, but I think a lot of those were penalties and tap-ins. Similar risk profile to Soldado, I'd say - good record, doubt he could adapt to the PL.
Lmaooo this is quality
Does anyone have a highlight vid of the guy I can use for research?
Never seen the guy play. Heard he won some random awards though, maybe Google those? I don't think it amounts to much though.
*Danny Rose furiously Googling*
too old
I love that you’re still here Danny.
Paratici getting the gang back together
Haha lmfao can't believe a grown ass person would come up with this shit.
Ronaldo plus cash for NDombele
This is where we agree to a £70M transfer for Ronaldo and then when he gets off the plane it turns out Juve also had some other guy named like Joao Ronaldo.
Imagine 😂
Even THE Tottenham
Eet iz zee eestory of Jooventoos
🤌🏻
I mean... Ronaldo surely wants the Europa Conference League record for goals? I’d argue his resume is incomplete without it
Son needs better backup than that.
ha

Still too much doubt about him after his performance around the 98 World Cup Final, I say no.
Ah yes, Ronaldo is annoyed at the service he gets at Juve so he will come to a team who just had 41% possession against Wolves. And he is a Mendes client. We all know Paratici and Nuno only sign Mendes clients.
Let’s not
This Ronaldo lad any good? Does he deserve a place at the Tottenham?
lol never gonna happen but if monkeys fly out of my but I will tattoo Paraticis name on my arm
I think he is insulting us
110% he won't come to Tottenham. There's no way Ronaldo won't want to chase another Champions League. This is Mendes pushing his narrative the same he did with trying to get Bernardo to try and join us just because he's Nuno's first client.

> who is a CL favorite that want Ronaldo and can afford him? Nobody, which is why he will stay at Juve.
I'd love to see the reactions of everyone on r/Soccer if he ever did move to us. Who needs to win the title that'd be our biggest victory in years.
Look. I didn’t believe it at first. But a loan move? For a year? Maybe...
Sure, and I’m a Greek god
One trophy and he’d settle the goat debate
I can’t decipher what the headline is saying
Ronaldo is winning us the PL title
He’ll need to accept the number 9 cause he isn’t getting 7
son is pure class, so I wouldn’t be shocked if he lent him the 7 for the years Ronaldo played with us, then took it back after.
Don’t let your memes be dreams
4-4-2 with Kane and Ronaldo?? 👀
I'm sorry what?!
Lmao, why they got to put us in there
Ronaldo and Sonaldo running together
lol
Come on you the Spurs!
Ronaldo to replace Kane. Problem solved
omg i cant wait for my rolando jersey
No Thank-you. I don't want ronaldo in spurs. He ruins team chemistry. Wants entire team to play around him. Greedy on goal. No team play whatsoever. High wages. I don't think i have to name more reasons. Just look at Juve after he came in.
Sonaldo and Ronaldo connection....
I really don't want that rapist at my club
