Reply to comment by BeKindBabies in Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United have agreed to part ways by isanyonethere10

It’s of course a bit more nuanced than what the comment you reacted on said - but it’s also more nuanced than what you say. CR7 missed a lot of pre season because of family issues - understandable but not convenient when you have a new manager that wants to implement a new playing style. This wouldn’t have been any issue with Ronaldo from say 2010 to 2018 but current Ronaldo isn’t able to catch up as easily anymore. From that perspective he’s not absolute top tier anymore.

I would really be curious to see an alternate universe where CR7 showed up for first training under Ten Hag fully fit and mentally charged to go.

Top 3 scorer in the league last season, so are there only two top tier strikers a season or what?

You are completely correct - if you don’t read my comment at all CR7 is indeed still top tier and nuance is bullshit.

Conveniently, nuance is immeasurable and goals are a terrible way to rate the quality of a person in the goal scoring position.
