Ronaldo or Bale

This isnt just a question for us great man utd fans. For all fans except Real Madrid ones. If you were offered both (at the price which you value them at) who would you rather get . We ALL know about Ronaldo from his days with us before but now he's blossomed into the ultimate goal scorer and shows no sign of slowing down as long as his ego is appeased and he's happy playing. His goals to game ratio is outrageous and Rooney and Di Maria know his game better than anyone so that as a front three could cause mayhem in tandem.

Bale we also know from his days at Spurs and on his day he can be just as rampant but is much more a team player so weighs heavily with assists, also at five years younger would be a great long term investment. He's now adapted his game to play on the right, left or just off the striker so his adaptability allows changes in formation during games depending on the score.

Messi is better even our manager thinks Messi is the best ever.

The point isn't who's a better player now; it's who's a better signing right now. Which one would you rather take for your team.

Ronaldo's 30. No real signs of decline but I'd be surprised if we didn't see some soon. I also suspect that he'd score less goals in a team that isn't Madrid. And I think Bale would probably thrive in a team that isn't Madrid, and he's five years younger.

Ronaldo could probably play as a centre forward from age 32 onwards, extending his playing career, but 5-6 years of Bale as your centrepiece seems like a better option.
Ronaldo is better than Bale. Ronaldo is also better than Messi.

Messi needs to change teams/leagues to prove how good he is. The Spanish game is played a lot differently to the English game.

Pretty much this.

That said, if Ronaldo was the same player as the Ronaldo that left Man Utd, I'd take him in a heartbeat.
Ronaldo anyday

There was a time when it was arguable. Not any more.
