Is that true? Saw it was all doom and gloom never checked the interview myself. Hope we can get him to stay for longer fear we will have a rocky few years when he goes. As for Ronaldo he is a knob but if the deal is doable I would go for it he knows where the net is and knows the league he offers us an aerial threat which will allow us to mix up our game, if pep wants him hope we get it done we need someone and I think he is the lowest risk option.

He was one of those runon Pep sentences that he does when speaking in English which had two or three different clauses making it hard to know which one leads from the next. The meaning was pretty ambivalent and changes depending on whether you add comas or full stops, but ultimately doesn't mean much.

How is he a United legend though? Genuine question. He arrived at the club as a kid and left at 23 having repeatedly undermined the club by stating his dream was Madrid and tried to leave on 3 separate occasions. United fans can delude themselves into thinking he's their legend but he's a Madrid legend who developed at United. That's it.

Indeed. He started looking to Madrid at 21. At 22 he handed in a Transfer Request and Madrid had £55m lined up. It was refused, although Fergie told him if he signed a new contract for United he’d sell him a year later (with the new contract being a tool to earn a higher transfer fee), and he obliged.

I don’t think he was arsed about United all that much. Was always about being a Madrid player for him.

Cmon City do it!!! Would be fantastic we welcomed Tevez with open arms been 10+ since he played for that lot doesn't owe them F all. Sure he'd enjoy it here with the Portuguese lads my mouth waters at prospect of KDB, Mahrez, Sterling, Gundo, Grealish, CR7 & co.

Christ, we welcomed Terry Cooke with open arms!
 


His goals from last season.

People forget how good he is in the air. those that were all over kane yet dont want this guy need to look again.

Forget abuot his rag connections and look at him as a player.

Yes he is older - but he is a physical machine and his fitness levels/tests have shown that he is at the level of someone in their mid 20's
He is fantastic int he air.
he has pace -he may not be as quick as he was but he is still rapid
He can play anywhere across the front 3.
He is a very intelligent player....he wont have problems against the packed defences that we face.
he knows the pressure of the prem league.
He is a a genuine world class finisher.
He has the ability to win a game on his own
Playing with KDB, foden, Sterling, Grealish.....the supply line to him like people said about Kane.
We dont need to play him every game and can rest him

It will be a short term option allowing us freedom to go for further targets next summer or the summer after

Off the pitch, like Messi, he pays for himself.....
Like Grealish - he is still the poster boy of football for fans across the world.

It's a case of United fans attaching themselves to him rather than his love for United. He evidently does not care about them hence why he's trying to join us.

I don't think it will happen either because Man Utd will move. But if Pep didn't want him why are we in for him. I think we are wary of Utd so unlikely to happen

Its my opinion about pep, if we do go for him then that opinion will be wrong, but as yet there is no proof we want him.

Tbf he was arguably the best player they ever had (even if he did leave at the first opportunity), if we're talking about peak performance. It's easy to get attached.
