Not sure where the debate has dissapeared to but a poster stated earlier that Ronaldo signing would force Januzaj out of the club. Now, I can't agree with this and here is why. It would be good to have as many comments as possible on this!

For me, Januzaj will never be a number 9 and that is where I firmly believe we would see Ronaldo operate if he returned. He is getting older and with that, your game adapts - I doubt we would see the full pitch runs with the ball for too many more season. However what he does have his fantastic ability in and outside the box and like Falcao, he in the right place at the right time (not to mention set pieces etc). This makes him an ideal front man that can roam quite a bit with Rooney in the hole as the number 10.

Conversely, Januzaj is better either deeper, or wider. Di Maria, Mata and Rooney are the ones standing in Januzaj's way - not Ronaldo. Januzaj would he happiest at number 10 but he will struggle to get games there. He would also be good in the Di Maria role of the midfield 3 but he won't play regularly there.

Ultimately he has to force his way in past these guys but also learn from them. We cannot say we don't want the world's best player because we have Januzaj.

You're crazy, ronaldo dosent get tied down to one position and i certainly wouldn't expect it to be number 9 if he did, the team is built around him, he goes left, he goes right, he goes threw the middle, he just goes where ever he wants because he's numero uno.

Fresh mate, please tell me you're not going to bang on about Ronaldo for the next year. I'm not keen, due to his age and the on incredible financial sums that will be involved. I'm not convinced he is desperate to come back, he will want world record wages and there comes a point where it doesn't make sense. He may be the world's best player but that doesn't mean signing him is a no brainier. I'd rather develop our own to complement who we have bought. Our need is CB and CM, not another forward.

With all due respect, its a stupid idea to move Januzaj down the pecking order by bringing Ronaldo for that crazy money and few years. Developing Januzaj will give us a star for the next ten years. And then there is something called team balance. With half that money, we could sign a world beater defender and a midfielder which will give our team the perfect balance.
I completely agree with AJH. Spot on.
I would vote NO to Ronaldo, hands down.

Get over it Ronaldo won't come back every season Ronaldo isn't smiling he is unhappy he is going back to united its a pain in the a. and when he signs new contracts i'm delighted because he is not leaving for a little while

Without wishing to put anybody down (apart from the mother in law) all this talk of should we / shouldn't we vis Ronaldo /Januzai it all sounds rather nieve. How often would we be able to play our "best" eleven. Injuries, suspensions or fatigue would dictate not very often! If we get the chance to acquire the best player in the world GET HIM !! Would Real let him go - I don't think so. We are about building a quality SQUAD- Januzai is vital. LVG knows that!!
