Cristiano Ronaldo

[the old abbey]

For one season only till we hopefully get haaland. All day long.

Wasnt he injured? saw him going off holding his shoulder with the physio.

He left early. Not shoulder but right arm issues.. Juventus fans were saying it's all fake and he probably got a call from Mendes. Who knows.

It's not a 37 year old Billy Sharp Karen. Jesus Christ.

When do we ever do that short term ? Panic mode if we do it

 

[Cellarite]

I'm thinking this too - his entire marketing revolves around the '7' (I'm not going to type it in full) so im very intrigued

It doesn’t though does it? He was 9 at Madrid. You’d have thought Beckham revolves around 7 but he changed to 23 at Madrid.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

My main concern would be when we're not in possession of the ball. Hasn't that always been a huge factor in playing up top under Pep? The ability to press the goalie/CB's. That's not Ronaldo's forte at all.

Horses for courses?

Yea ok, games where we need to press maybe leave him out, but those games where we're camped outside the opposition box trying to get a goal when they're all in their own area (and there are plenty), get him in?

Mendes will make this happen, it'll be Bernardo to juve who were interested in him but didn't have money, Ronaldo to City.

Given that Allegri went in front of the cameras the other day and said Ronaldo had told him he was staying at Juve, I don’t see where the traction for this is coming from.

Exactly,it’s about as likely as Kane signing.

 

[baggy]

We aren't PSG, hope the club rubbish this rumour asap and we have a genuine potentially long term back up ready to unveil.

 

[St.Pauli support]

@Ric can we have a poll to leave my "no"?

Ta, knew i saw something (timeline on SM is a bit nuts)

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

Really don’t see the point in signing him, he’s almost 37!! It would be a very short sighted signing.

He’s also in better shape than most 27 year old players. His age is irrelevant, he’s different gravy

 

[citymad]

Didnt say that ,hope we have a sniper for that naracistic goal celebration , nobody else here does it, makes me skin crawl

Maybe he'll have a new one for you Kaz. I've always liked the Benjani move personally.

Ronaldo leaves Juve training with arm “injury” which could rule him out of weekend game…

Cristiano Ronaldo leaves Juventus training with arm injury amid transfer exit speculation

Cristiano Ronaldo was a surprise omission from Juventus starting line-up in Serie A opener at Udinese on Sunday; Portugal captain came off the bench to score 94th-minute winner ruled out by VAR for marginal offisde; 36-year-old has been linked with move away from Juve

Ball hit him in the arm. It's all smoke ...

 

[Akai]

At least we might be able to fill those empty seats :)

We'll score from penalties!

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

If we sign him we are getting 2-3 years out of him. Easily. If not more.

 

[Asa's left peg]

His goal output would suffer with us. No way he's scoring penalties. It just isn't our thing.

 

[bobmcfc]

@Ric can we have a poll to leave my "no"?

It will be more yes than no imo. I'd say 80 yes 20 no

Mendes is trying to give Ronaldo to City by most accounts. Even the BBC have mentioned it in one of their articles but said we weren’t interested at that point in time. Juve apparently have financial issues and neither the club or player would kick up a fuss if it was decided he should move on seems to be the narrative.

 

[citymad]

36 ? that's mental and we thought 28 was too old:)

Agreed no brainer
