why not...what has stopped messi's Jersey from selling with number 30 on it?

sorry pal but M10 is not as popular as cr7

ThothHermes:
He was pressured.

Ronaldo was not this big when he went Madrid and Raul was a club legend by any standard.
Cavani that fought with Neymar over free kicks and penalties...?
Ta... He had no choice in the matter.
Penaldo could have rejected it, but we know he won't. Watch how he will come and start fighting with Bruno Fernandez for penalties now.
He has to pad those goals.

yes he called you and told you he was pressured.. Agege Di Marzio.

Legendrysailor:
Hell yeah !!!!
Cavani is so matured.

Yes, Cavani is mature but CR7 is immature.

Kingpele:
Fake and proud goat everywhere ,the only reason I like messi was his humility on and off the pitch,neymar offered number 10 Jersey to messi when he was coming to PSG but messi refused...This shows a good leader with respect for his teammates ...This Wil even spur neymar to work hard for his team but this cavani,, though he is laughing it off ,I know he will feel inferior to CR7 which will affect his phyc and performance on the pitch ...I see cavani leaving manu on January nobody want to live in the shadow of another person

You got this wrong bro. There's what is called mutual respect and history. Ronaldo wore that number before Cavani, that's not the case with Neymar and Messi. Ronaldo has history of the number with ManU, that's not the case with Neymar and Messi. Ronaldo brand is CR7, that's not the case with Neymar and Messi. Cavani did himself a lot of good handing the number back after all he wants to be remembered by the ManU fans for ever. Cavani has sense of history and stoop to conquer.

bayelsaowei:
and so he must wear the number 7 Jersey abi? Is it a must?

No, it's not a must...but he will rather attempt to have it to maintain brand equity than outrightly not trying.

That's what you are asking him to do...

If MTN begins to sponsor Super Eagles they will make an attempt to have their brand colours as part of the Eagles apparel...It might be a single line or logo design...They won't spend that money and don't want brand equity in return.

Ronaldo has contracts that is attached to the No7...to maintain that he needs to try and wear no 7 as much as reasonably possible, and not just carry one No 21 for back without making an attempt to get his brand preference number.

Bro dont get it twisted. It's more about the brand than history. Was he the first player to wear that shirt number? He never played for Juve before he took the no7 shirt from Cuadrado. Thierry Henry never collected his 14 shirt when he returned to Arsenal. No matter what team he goes to, he will definitely insist on the no7 shirt. Even if he moves to the MLS or even the Chinese league. This is more about the brand and not any damn history.

so when he retires what then happens? Wearing the shirt isn't the ish...what he is is what matters most..and that's his brand..

So if cavani refuses then his brand dies?

I can't school you more than necessary.

When he retires, the brand won't die...But he would lose loads of brand value.

This is common sense marketing!

I understand all of these...but my point is this is beyond brand for Ronaldo.. its an attitudinal problem to always crave for attention..

The moment he stops delivering or scoring goals that brand your yapping about won't matter anymore..

When Henry went back to arsenal he didn't go for the number 14..he wore the number 12 instead. You have to respect your teammates too

Okay boss.

Yvdo u messi fans like comparing ur little puppy to the Emperor....anything Ronaldo achieves , una go run compare am with messi....Ronaldo broke the international record 2 nights ago , and a messi fan quickly created a thread that messi is about to equal Pele's scoring record against Venezuela last night.... Argentina won 3.1 , but messi failed to score or provide an assist despite subbing all offensive players and leaving him for the whole duration

The fastest way of getting broke is by developing the attitude of arguing over successful people.

I like Messi more than Ronaldo...but that's just a personal preference. But you will never c me arguing about any of them or doing some rigorous comparison.

Messi and Ronaldo have made it in life. For them, for their generation. I don't have the energy to waste on their Mata.
