Think he needs a new challenge. A few around him have said he's destined for England, but I can see him going to PSG and then eventually the MLS. A personality like his - with his grandeur, marketability and image - would surely relish and thrive somewhere like America.
Apparently he bought some apartment in the States for $20 odd million so that must be his final destination.
Will go PSG next year I think. Although I would want him back, I think he'll want to test his trade in a new league.
Maybe they do bottle it, but Pep's Barca were arguably the greatest ever club side, so no amount of spending (like you mentioned) was gonna fix that. They were simply too good.
Perhaps my feelings for Ronaldo are clouding my opinion of Real a bit and making me overly harsh and critical of them. As a Utd fan, I love Ronaldo and I will always want to see him succeed, win trophies and individual honours and seeing him win only 1 league title with Real annoys and saddens me. I hate Real with a passion but because Ronaldo plays for them, I want them to do well (until Ronaldo leaves that is).

Ronaldo alone can't compete with them Barca teams.
Joined an unfortunate time where Messi & co were running the La Liga show.
Prior achievements disregarded, Ronaldo's no shows in the big games this season have been pretty consistent and stark. Filling the bucket with 5 against Espanyol and 4 against Molde doesn't hide that.
He's obviously not had a poor season, but poor by his standards, for sure. And whilst poor by his standards isn't worthy of any criticism, his awful big game performances can be criticised.
He talks a good game Neville, but even if this venture doesn't end well, won't harm him too much. I think it will take a while for his ideas and plans to come to fruition. Sounds like as much as he's trying to give youth a chance, he needs some wiser heads around
