Cristiano Ronaldo

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

We just need MCRJON to pop on and post "Done" and then disappear back into the unknown.

No-one it seems. He'll join such City legends like Otamendi, Pantimilion and Nery Castillo who all have wore the hallowed number 30

Huge boots to fill

We must sign a decent, proven striker this window to have a better chance of the league and Champions. If that means signing Ronaldo, I will be supporting him as he has our crest on. I'm not his biggest fan, but thast does not matter. Some on here forget where Tevez, Cole, Schmeichel where before coming to us, with no issues (bar the golf scandal!). Who cares, as long as they are professional and give all for our club. Kane is gone. Let's see what happens, but we need a KUN replacement and I for one am not looking forward to a false 9 all season...

I was also vehemently against the signings of Andy Cole and Peter Schmeichel too.

Thankfully hes the best agent in the business. This deal has also been in the works for a lot longer, we were seeing Ronaldo rumors weeks ago but the reply was "City interested in Kane only".

All relevant parties will know what the deal is, it looks like we might have just decided to go with it.

Fair enough, but till it's done you never know ain't it? Super agent Mendes should make this work, only worry is it could make us even more reliable on him for next windows, we'll probably be locked in with him for Nuno Mendes as the left back option, who's knows maybe the DM situation as well.

I have got mad respect for him now. At this age he wants to move to PL and win trophies. Not ready to settle

Agreed. Regardless of what people think, if reports are true he's not afraid to test himself at the highest level, gotta respect that mentality, am sure Pep being someone who admires courage and experience would certainly respect it too.

 

[Nicholas van Whatsisface]

On red cafe last night some bloke called him "evil" for even considering it.

Hahahaha - that’s fucking brilliant.

All this ‘he loves United’ bullshit is such simplistic, reductive nonsense.

He’s a gun for hire - I’m not soft enough to believe he’d love City if he did end up coming to us.

He plays for himself - always has. Anyone who believes he’s in love with any team clearly hasn’t been paying attention over the last 20 years of his career!

 

[northstandgiveusasong]

At lot has to be said for the fact he's 36 and has the balls to still want to challenge himself back in the prem. There will be loads of scrutiny on how he'd fare in a second spell here and he seems well up for it.

He has clearly looked at Messi moving to PSG and fair play to him, is up for the challenge. Personally I have more respect for Ronaldo than Messi (who in my opinion, took a very easy route out). Ronaldo has done the business wherever he's been (including internationally let's not forget either). I'm sure our owner(s) are looking at this as a huge opportunity both on and off the field as well as well as looking at what PSG have done in signing Messi and thinking it is definitely worth a go. I certainly think so anyway.

Cant see why City wouldnt pay 25million euros in this day and age it's almost a free !

 

[ejdmcfc]

Just a thought. If Ronaldo does come, I wonder if United fans will have some kind of protest as a means of trying to sabotage the whole thing? Sounds silly but they've got form for stupid shit like this.

God I hope so. Not to stop the move from happening, but it would be tremendous content.

 

[oakiecokie]

If he signs, then anyone using CR7 in posts should be banned, taken outside, shot & their body dropped off at OT

Even worse I`ve seen a few on here calling him Cristiano !!! Probably some of the same people who would have called him T..... Boy etc only a week ago.

Probably to cover his wage demands.

Agreed, it should be CR(whatevernumberheendsupwearing).

I spoke to a mate of mine on the phone this morning; long term United fan, going to matches since he was a kid. His Dad has a tattoo of United trophies covering his entire back and they've been going home and away for decades.

He's absolutely fuming. Going on about how the "Men In Black" stopped Rooney from going to City and how if Ronaldo goes to City then the United fans will riot and get the Glazers out (?), and how Ronaldo would need physical security around Manchester. Sent me some screenshots where some Red Issue types are going off their fucking head, some saying he's a traitor and they're going to throw things at him if he scores at OT and celebrates, others in a massive delusion saying that he loves United and he'd never go to City and that actually this is a conspiracy/"come and get me" plea to the Glazers who refuse to pay his wages (?).

So I'm enjoying that aspect of this saga if nothing else.

I had a conversation with a mate of mine who is a season ticket holder at the swamp last night.

Told me he wasn't arsed. Insisted he didn't care. Then spent the entire evening trying to convince me via text why the move doesn't make sense, why it'd be a poor one. Why it wouldn't work.

The "not caring" about City thing really isn't a meme. Lol. They'll all be in an asylum soon. Everything they told themselves for decades and grew up believing is proving a lie and/or bullshit.

 

[Ethan23]

Just pay the £20 million and get him in. The bloke could win us the Champions league

 

[domalino]

@Damocles I did try to reply to your comment but it seems the mods are removing any and all mentions of Ronaldo's legal issues.

You think we need to wait and see what his squad number is first?

Schmeichel celebrating the goat's goal in the derby still boils piss to this day.
