Ronaldo loves himself ....... Could it be confidence growing within him, he might well be realising a lifelong dream that spreads across the geordie nation..... If he is another home grown talented striker I would much rather we give him the chance now rather than pay another record transfer to bring him home , I'm not making comparisons here but you never know . If he has the confidence then throw him in, give him 10 games to see what he is capable of ( should have been this season |), his 1st goal against Juve was ok !

I would sell him while some people still think he has the ability to score a lot of goals, rather than wait for him to prove either way, we could be relegated waiting for him to put some effort in. Not convinced at all, if we keep him I hope those of you who rate him can tell me how wrong I was.

There are probably a fair few more who will do everything to keep him focused on what he's supposed to be doing. He still has a very long way to go, if he's going to be a Premier League Centre Forward!!!! One thing for certain, KK wont hesitate to knock him down a peg or two if he think he needs it.
