Swapping Ronaldo for Sterling might be the worst deal in the history of the club

I’d consider it if it was Ronaldo +£100m for Sterling.

Then we can bid what we like for Haaland next summer.

 

[samuelyeboah]

it's all done except for the whole "they want money" thing. curse you, capitalism!

 

[BringBackSwales]

Just imagine how Foden, McAtee, Palmer etc feel when they'd come to training and are playing against one of the best players of all time.

They already do

 

[mcfcsamm]

Do the people who don’t want him not want him because he’s an ex rag, or because of his ego? or both?

I'm really surprised about some of the replies on this thread.

I'm no fan of United, but I give credit where it is due. I don't think anyone can accuse Ronaldo of not giving his absolute all into training, playing, looking after himself - just look at him.

Ronaldo is one of the greatest players of all time. There's absolutely no questioning that at all - he's proven himself in England, Spain, Italy and on the international stage. He's got 674 goals in 897 games. These are the kind of figures that players in the 1920s would get - only Messi gets anywhere near that. That's the level we're talking about. Aguero is my all time favourite City player, but even if he stayed fit he wouldn't be near Ronaldo's records and Aguero was only ever a striker. Look at Ibrahimovic, Eto'o, Weah, Ronaldinho, Shearer etc - they are miles behind.

It's not to belittle Aguero's achievement, or anyone elses, but to show that Ronaldo is - along with Messi - a level above every other player who's played football for the last 30 years, if not ever.

His goal scoring record is absolutely phenomenal and his ability to score big goals is too. If he signs, put money on him scoring on his debut. And in the next game. And the next.

He isn't some 36 year old who's washed up and looking for cash. Look at his physique, he is absolutely ripped and still has pace to burn.

This a guy who wants to play at the highest level for as long as he can. He knows he hasn't got much time left and wants to win as much as he can. He wants to make sure that his name is mentioned along with Pele, Maradona etc in decades to come. That's Ronaldo's calibre and we don't have any player in our squad who is at his level. He will love to work with Pep and Pep will know that if he can't have Messi, Ronaldo is absolutely the next player who can turn games on their head. He would've won us the CL last year. He knows that if he signs for us then he has the chance, with Pep to win 2 Quadruples and that will him Ballon D'ors - it will rankle him that Messi has more.

We know this summer there's not the money in Europe and we know Bernardo wants to go to a warmer climate. That's fine and he'll go with my absolute best wishes as he has been a great player and model pro. If we can get Ronaldo in for free, send Bernardo on loan for a year with a £30m fee after it, it's not bad business. We get one of the greatest players of all time, we've replaced Bernardo with Grealish and get a fee in a years time. it's not my ideal choice and I'd value Bernardo ordinarily at £70m. But we're not in ordinary times.

Honestly, look at Ronaldo's stats. Tell me that you're unimpressed. He's absolutely capable this season of scoring 40 goals no question. We need a guy who can finish, head the ball, take penalties. His free kicks are off the scale as well.

We haven't got Kane, but Ronaldo for 2 years would be more than good enough.

Just imagine how Foden, McAtee, Palmer etc feel when they'd come to training and are playing against one of the best players of all time.

I hope the club sort this out.

And imagine how fucking gutted the rags will be hahaha

 

[HaalandEffect]

Imminent

If he really has reduced his wages to fit into our structure he can be welcomed with open arms in my opinion. Pep will obviously have spoken to him too and hopefully told him we're not a 1 man team

 

[Summerbuzz]

I choose to believe this

I believe it too.

This is really a crazy little scenario. I can't read anyone's hands. Mendes is involved in so many parts of it, Raiola too. Raiola has got what very much what he wants this summer. Mendes hasn't even started. Now it looks like the best bet is that he complete's Raiola's work at PSG by sending them Ronaldo. And doing it right under City's noses, when he is a perfect fit. Because Juve would love to take Icardi/Kean, Raiola has all the cards lined up. Let's see what the other Super Agent pulls out of his stack.

Yeah, I mean Sterling and boat load of cash (which they don't have), maybe, but even then I can't see that one making any sense.

Better just to bung them £25m.

Sterling needs to move for me. The deal isn't good enough on the face of it but it's hard to find Raheem another club. But I'd definitely fancy another player or cash. They've got a lot of interesting players. Sandro springs to mind. Out of form, but the pedigree is there.

 

[Cityinmud]

If we back out from this deal for 25M now , we are certified bottlers this summer. Messi gone, kane gone now ronaldo

 

[Blue Smarties]

Are we putting the blue cones out?

 

[leo_city]

So it's not done.

 

[Pollocks OG]

Haha, I've been waiting for this, I'll post the collection!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!

 

[City10.]

SIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Oh come on? Really?

Ibrahimovic for example, at 36, played in the MLS.

...and at 37/38 was scoring for fun back in Serie A

Keepers and CB's are able to play longer than strikers - so strike those too.

Well don't make statements like "At 36 no one is able to play at top club level in Europe" then

Totti? Serie A - 2011-12 - 27 appearances, 8 goals; 2012-13 34 appearances 12 goals; 2013-14 26 appearances 8 goals

Totti offered far far more than just goals. If you ever watched him play you'd know that. That's like saying David Silva wasn't incredible because he only averaged about 7 or 8 goals a season.

2 strikers looked at and totally bunk. Stats for midfielders are very hard to judge. Goals for strikers is an imperfect measure but is at least indicative of performance.

Ibrahimović bunk? Totti?? Del Piero?? Aduriz?? Give over.

Fucking hell you are hard work.

 

[JustAnotherCityFan]

So Portugese media are saying its done but all the Italian media are saying we haven't agreed anything with Juve yet.

 

[bluemoon32]

???

Kane was a done deal too....

Moise Kean is an Everton player, plays for a club who don't want him. How does that concern PSG?
