And? Ronaldo isn't any good either right?

Of course not. But he doesn't have to prove anything.
You implied Rom's not a bottler in a league where players go to retire.
I love Rom. But wouldn't stick him up with the best due to that he does bottle it on the big stage. Jose said it, did well for us, flopped at United, scored a pen and a winning OG in the Europa League final.
Should be hitting his peak now. So let's see what he does.

Jose said it like that means a single thing. Honestly anything Jose has said in the last 5 years is probably the opposite of the truth.
Rom didn't flop at United fwiw. That team wasn't very good and he still scored and assisted. His help aside from Pogba was guys like Young, Valencia and Lindelof. He got blamed essentially for not making an average team great and then was sent packing because Ole thought Martial was better. Ole got saved by Cavani on a free.

You think he's flopping at Inter right now so I'm not sure this is the right conversation to jump into

He always will score and assist but they spent £80mill to improve an average side. His flaws for us shone more at United cos the spotlight was on him. Touch of a trampoline, couldn't hold the ball up, not a target man, hid in bigger games. He then got a cob on.
Ole got Martial and Rashford to hit career high goals without Rom (17 each) when they sold him.
I don't though; I think he's doing very well for his level. Right at the limits of what he can do.
My point regarding him is how he's a liability to the team, particularly in continental competition outside the farmer league he's in, or any cup competition really.
Hence why they're out of their domestic cup and embarrassed themselves in the Champions League.

None of these things are true anymore. Maybe he just needed a real manager not Ole and the current burn the place down on the way out version of Jose.
My opinion is he was their best attacker in 17/18 and they blamed him for not being amazing the next year when they stunk as a team. As a supporter base that loves to blame our good players for the bad players not being good enough we should he familiar with how that goes.

I like how the only way for people to argue against him right now is to say it isn't the PL.
And he was great in the CL in case you didn't watch any of the games. They struggled in a game he was injured for and threw away multiple games with errors at the back. I'm sure those were somehow his fault but whatever.
They'll win the league this year and you'll still be saying how teams can't be successful with him I'm sure. It'll be good fun.

They still are. He just gets away with it more in Italy.
And as for the previous point of Rom being in a team with Ashley Young etc...he ended up at a team with Young, Sanchez, Darmian all ex-united driftwood.

Yes but none are key players now. Sanchez and Darmian are backups and Young is a utility player.

Mad that growing up Serie A footy seemed like it was on a different planet. The best of the best in that league, used to love watching on a Sunday. It's absolute garbage now. Had an acca on a few months back that only needed Juve to win away at some clowns and they lost. Watched it and the standard even from Juve was so bad. Ronaldo wasn't playing to be fair.
Tbf, I'd have to hand it to him if he won the league with Inter. I thought the only domestic trophy he had a shot at was a one-horse league like France
What's all this about the competition being garbage because Ibrahimovic is scoring goals? Like Suarez, Messi and Benzema in Spain, Vardy and Aguero here, Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic in Italy, Lewandowski in Germany, and so on. So many of the best strikers in the world at the moment are well into their 30s. The "past it" of yesteryear isn't the past it of today.
