Cristiano Ronaldo

[Centurions]

I can see both sides to the arguments for those who wanted him and didn’t want him

unfortunately we look like complete idiots for not getting ANY striker this season when everyone else around us has improved. Many talk about how only the prem matters, but then Chelsea are now better then us. If any of the games we have lost in the past few years have shown us anything it’s that we need someone to put the ball in the net when the rest of the team is having an off day. Ronaldo could have solved that, hell messi could have as well and he was a free. It is most definitely a huge disappointment to not add either of those two when they wanted to play here. It’s not like we signed a young striker that has a lot of promise like haaland or even vlahovic. We’ve come away with no one to put the ball in the net

Talking of complete idiots, how does Chelsea getting Lukaku suddenly make them 'better than us'. This is the self same Chelsea who finished 19 points behind us last season and we've added Grealish into the mix as well.

never happening Bayern want 50 mil doubt city would pay it

Exactly. £25m/£30m for Ronaldo is a much better deal than £50m for Lewandowski

We had a striker for 95% of those trophies

With 4 strikers: 5 years, 4 trophies
With 3 strikers: 1 year, 1 trophy
With 2 strikers: 5 years, 6 trophies
With "0" strikers: 1 year, 2 trophies

Relief we had the sense to steer clear

Piss can still runs the rags.

Nah. He’s stuck in the past & has wrongly advised OGS to buy Ronaldo just to stop us. No sense in the purchase from their point of view but he would have shored up our attack. But you don’t fall into the trap of buying players just to stop them going elsewhere

I never thought i would say it, but this club lacks ambition to be the best version of itself. Do the people running this club genuinely think other clubs would respect us because of our holistic ethos? Fcuking naive at best.

All on our refusal to pay Juve's 30m demands apparently. I guess United probably are. What a weird window.

It's such a fcuking slap in the face to go after Harry fcuking Kane for that exorbitant amount, and then refuse to pay Juve for one of the best and most marketable players in the world.

Our transfer policy has been dogshit for the last couple of years, and so has our scouting team.

As i have said before City are the best equipped team to play with a false 9.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Why couldn’t he go beforehand ffs!

Think it was the excitement of having such a legend in the rear that triggered him.
You must recognise this problem.

 

[Keeper!]

At the end of the day we have spend 100m on Grealish, without doubt a very good player, but a 100m pound player in this market?

Yet we are reluctant to spend big on our biggest priority, a high class striker, sorry but I find our business and attitude this window very, very strange.

Well it's pretty fooking obvious everyone at the club would of known

She didn't say he didn't know. She said he would have been upset by it.
