Never realised how big is ego is. Madrid unwilling to say how much they fully paid for Bale as it appears according to Spurs that it's more than they paid United for Ronaldo.

Going back about a year ago he had a conversation rate of around 5%.That was one of the worst percentages for regular free takers in the top 5 leagues.
I think he was only getting around 20% on target.

It seems he has a good record for his clubs but terrible for his country.


Statistics from Opta reveal that Ronaldo has taken 34 free-kicks (18 at the World Cup and 16 at the European Championship) and failed to convert any of them in 28 major tournament games.

Worryingly, only eight have even hit the target. 

Of the remainder, 13 have been blocked and 13 have missed the target.

MOST DIRECT FREE-KICKS TAKEN AT MAJOR TOURNAMENTS (Since 1978, European players)
34 (scored 0) – Cristiano Ronaldo
27 (0) – Gheorghe Hagi
25 (2) – Michel Platini
22 (0) – Ronald Koeman
21 (2) – Zinedine Zidane
18 (0) – Wesley Sneijder
18 (0) – Francesco Totti


MOST EFFICIENT DIRECT FREE-KICK TAKERS AT MAJOR TOURNAMENTS (Since 1978, European players)
20 per cent – Thomas Hassler
15.4 per cent – David Beckham
11.8 per cent – Hristo Stoichkov
9.5 per cent – Zinedine Zidane

Well aware of that, but it shows that his 5%/8% record isn't that bad when compared with other freekick takers. He gets a lot of bad press because of all the fanfare he goes through every time he takes a free kick.


Posted By: MC Hammered
Date Posted: 20 Apr 2017 at 11:25am
I'm not sure about those stats. 
An 8% scoring rate from free kicks shouldn't be too bad. That's scoring 1 in every 12 approx. A team like Real should be getting about 2 or 3 direct free kicks per game I would imagine. So, if he was taking all of them, he should be scoring a free every 5 or 6 games. Given he plays about 45-50 games a year allowing for injuries, he should be scoring about 9 free kicks a year which he is never close to doing. 

Obviously, if he is converting 5% then that skews the stats. That's scoring 1 in every 20 attempts. Using the above template which I just made up anecdotally, he should be scoring about 6 or so every year.

your views are based on "should be getting", an assumption of how many free-kicks they get within shooting distance, against a statistical value which is based off accurate data. genuinely how often does one team in a match get up to 3 shooting range free kicks?

Yeah I totally made up the figures but given that Real dominate most matches, is it unrealistic that assume that they get 2- 3 free kicks within striking range per game?

From an interesting piece on transfer myths a while back, with Zlatan used as an example.

Despite the nonsense you may have heard about  https://www.theguardian.com/football/zlatan-ibrahimovic" rel="nofollow - Zlatan Ibrahimovic  shirt sales generating £50m for Manchester United, which would far exceed his wages, it’s simply not true. In fact, United don’t even automatically receive the 10-15% industry-standard royalty payment, no doubt because the up-front £75m annual payment is so large. United’s royalty payment only kicks in once a certain number of shirts are sold.

Just under three million Manchester United shirts were sold last season. As a case in point, let’s assume that Ibrahimovic helps sell an additional 300,000 shirts. A 10% increase is a very optimistic projection, especially considering Ibrahimovic is a Nike athlete and won’t be engaging in any Adidas promotional activities on his own. His image rights deal with United will almost certainly allow the club to feature him in Adidas promotional activities, as long as he appears with at least two other United players and the activity does not imply that Ibrahimovic is giving a personal endorsement to Adidas.


Additionally, while many United fans may choose to buy an Ibrahmovic shirt, over, say, a Chris Smalling shirt, a lot of those fans were already going to buy a shirt in the first place.

Let’s also assume that United’s royalty kicks in after three million shirts are sold, and the club receive a 15% royalty on each subsequent shirt sold. Assuming a price of £70 per shirt, that’s an additional £21m in gross sales from 300,000 shirts. Manchester United’s cut of that would be just over £3m. Now, £3m is not an insignificant amount, but it offsets less than 20% of what Ibrahimovic will likely cost the club this season (wages, agent fee, signing bonus, image rights deal).

So, at best, United are likely to see around £3m in additional revenue. While certainly not a paltry sum, it doesn’t come close to covering his costs, let alone help United earn an additional £50m. Put simply, there’s a reason why Adidas has earned more in the last six months than Manchester United, one of the highest-earning football clubs in the world, has earned in its 138-year existence.

I would have thought its a reliance on league wins, and potential European Cup victories, and the prize money that flows. Ronaldo could make a serious difference on the pitch.

But I agree, I wouldnt be overly happy seeing my club pay that amount of money for a 33 year old player, even one in the condition and skill set of Ronaldo.

Juve share price gone up nearly 25% in last 4 days circa €150 million.

Once Sarri hopefully takes over at Chelsea in next few days there is strong talk of Higuain going there to link up with his old napoli manager who he had his best season with scoring 36 league goals an all time Serie A record for €60 million.  And Danielle Rugani a really good centre half who I think Juve will regret selling and I would be sorry to see him go as I would prefer to sell Benatia going to Chelsea for €40 million.

Think 3/4 of Ronaldos wages are been covered by FIAT/Ferrari as a global ambassador.

But the big plus is the interest it will give people to actually watch serie a which not the league it was in the 90s but still much better than the general perception.

It will also ensure pjanic dybala and Douglas Costa will not look to leave Juve and I think Dybala will develop and learn a lot about hard work behind the scenes from Ronaldo. 

And if unlike the past Juve having to sell stars Pogba vidal bonucci to get the replacements.  I think they now can keep these players and add to the overall squad every year. 

Also it is good for Italian football as other bigger players maybe will start going there again  

On the flip side what price is Icardi to real madrid

I'm hoping Rugani stays too, lot of rumours about him leaving unfortunately. Having said that, Caldara is coming in this summer, and he has been excellent with Atalanta over the last couple of seasons.

As has been said by a few, this is a huge signing for the league. It's the biggest overseas signing since Ronaldo in 97. What a sign of intent from Juve, but they have to turn that into European success.

It’s a huge boost for the league and should increase the demand for live matches overseas.

I think it was the right time to move from Madrid. He went out on a high.

It’s likely going to trigger a number of transfers now.

The fact his lawyers haven't followed through on their threats to sue Der Spiegel make me think he is in real trouble with this claim

Sure he admitted himself she said no and told him to stop

Unhappy

There was a payment of 200k or something, never a good sign.

The leaked documents on their own obviously don't look good, but it could be questioned how legitimate they are. It's those, plus the fact Ronaldo's side haven't been able to shut the story down that makes me really believe it actually happened.

175k extra for anal? She's a bit precious!

Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands.

The fact there has been threats from Ronaldo's lawyers to sue Der Spiegel but nothing has happened at all in that regard (think Der Spiegel first reported on this over a year ago) points towards there being a lot of truth in this. 

This is one that I don't think will be going away anytime soon

I'd I'm not mistaken they were leaked before, he threatened to sue and didn't follow through, says a lot.

Can't help wondering how much RM knew about this considering the speed of the transfer to Juve.

I think it’s true but I am basing this on him in the report supposedly saying “She said no and stop several times” and when someone has paid someone a lump sum to stay quiet it doesn’t look good.
