The Hammers boss has very definite views on the Madrid giants this season where he had one season finishing second with 96 points.
He feels Ronaldo made a mistake swapping Madrid for Turin and Juve saying: “Madrid have lost a lot of goals; Cristiano took too many goals with him when he left.
He should have ended his career in Madrid and I was surprised they allowed him to leave,” he told Spanish radio show El Larguero.
“There is a difference between [Gareth] Bale and Cristiano, who has made the difference for the last 10 years.”
But he appears to believe that a move for Chelsea’s Eden Hazard would pay dividends saying: “He is a player of great quality. He is playing at an extraordinary level and making the difference. He can play at any club in the world.”
