Why didn’t he instigate it through Utd? Let’s think….Kane pulled the plug on the Spurs deal. How extraordinarily convenient. Almost as if City let the Kane camp know that this is what was going down so he could resurrect his relationship with Spurs, and then the moment that happens, news of Ronaldo's interest in MCFC breaks. If so, how decent of MCFC.
I think City realised that Levy was not credible and reliable and triggered Plan B.
I think we should be cautious though because I think there is a very strong possibility, in fact probability, that Man Utd will react to this and make a counter offer. If Ronaldo was to sign for City it will be emotionally devastating for Man Utd, however one thing reassures me in this regard: if the Ronaldo camp wanted United, why didn't they instigate this through Man Utd? , Hello Alex, this is Cristiano, I'm yours. That hasn't happened, or we assume not.
I think this really is happening blues. I much prefer this scenario to Messi and MCFC because as a team City will be less effected by the lack of running power basic speed of a centre-forward. I don't think it damages City's game if our no. 9 is somewhat static and pedestrian. His touch and power will still be there. All we need is for him to get on the end of some of our crosses and pull-backs. If Ronaldo wants to come back to the Premier League and play for Manchester City how extraordinarily brave as a professional this is. If this goes down, he needs saluting for that. Into the lions den!
Oh and this would mark the end of the media hostility towards Manchester City. You now need us more than we need you. Dear old little City. I remember you. How you hurt us. Don't do so again!
Of course like any blue I also have that nagging feeling that it will all go wrong!
Not me. We got burned on Messi, burned with Kane, and we haven’t squashed the links. Mendes is our man. It’ll happen quickly.It's tiring just to think of the drama ahead. Thank God this news story broke yesterday and we have to live through only one week of it. Good or bad, the story doesn't have long to run. I expect some twists though.
I haven't read that but I did hear yesterday that the wage offer from City was net of tax? Surely all this has been agreed with the agent and now it is down to City and Juve and anyone else if they want to buy himSo the DM says City will offer a 230k a week contract, from 700k at Juve. Will he really accept that?
I said yesterday I can see him accepting reduced wages here, then going to NYCFC as their star player on mega money. He would monopolise the States and earn a fortune. He'd take that financial 'hit' and shop at Aldi for a couple of years i'm sure.So the DM says City will offer a 230k a week contract, from 700k at Juve. Will he really accept that?
Hope so but Juve might have something to say particularly if we don't want to pay a feeNot me. We got burned on Messi, burned with Kane, and we haven’t squashed the links. Mendes is our man. It’ll happen quickly.
Depends how much he and his sponsors value another possible CL, golden boot and Ballon D’OrSo the DM says City will offer a 230k a week contract, from 700k at Juve. Will he really accept that?
I am cautious (trying and failing!). One thing that reassures me though is that if he wanted Utd, why do this? He could simply contact them and say come and get me and he hasn't?Why didn’t he instigate it through Utd? Let’s think….
Looks like a done deal to City, no one else lined up. Last day of window OGS swoops in, Ronaldo says he could only ever go back to Utd, he was never serious about City. The press lap it up, and the words City and Snubbed are synonymous for over a week. Let’s hope not, eh?
48 hours max. Have a feeling the sheik will make this happen. The Pep quotes about leaving amplifies this tenfold for me.Hope so but Juve might have something to say particularly if we don't want to pay a fee
He's not that good any more? But he would score goals as our No. 9. That's enoughDepends how much he and his sponsors value another possible CL, golden boot and Ballon D’Or
I loved his calves. Was ambivalent about the Player.For all those saying how much they dislike Ronaldo, how did you feel about Grealish before he signed for us?
Scores goals but not good enough to win a golden boot and Ballon D’or? Weird argument to make considering goals are what win those awardsHe's not that good any more? But he would score goals as our No. 9. That's enough
I think he's still got it, fitness wise no issue at all. I personally think he could play until he's 40He's not that good any more? But he would score goals as our No. 9. That's enough
