Cristiano Ronaldo

[Manchester_lalala]

This is going to cause some serious grief.

What do you think the reaction will be at away grounds around the country? They will boo him wont they, but I don't think it will be hate. It will be a madness.

Grealish and Ronaldo are going to get boo’d at pretty much every stadium.

His mum must be 90 based on his age. She won't want waking up at this time.

So she had him aged 54 impressive. Fitness must run in the family.

It’s the lack of forward planning that’s worrying. A striker to play with / phase out Sergio should’ve been bought in Summer 2019. If signing Ronaldo is such a good strategy why weren’t we interested in him then or last summer ?

Who was available?

 

[BolinCell]

why are we all of a sudden interested in a player that make us look like the Harlem globe trotters. I thought that was safely PSG's area of expertise.

 

[manimanc]

What's the crack with that mate?

Fuck knows.
Might be 2 for 1's at Lineker's.

Could be a red herring and mendes and Ronaldo are on their way to Manchester in Ronaldo's private jet.

I know people are worried about PSG because of the potential Mbappe deal and the flashbacks to Dani Alves, but after this summer, I don’t believe any conspiracy theories anymore. I’ve seen enough of “Barcelona releasing Messi is a bluff to make Tebas fold,” “Grealish is using the City rumor to get a better contract with Villa,” and “The Kane deal has been secretly agreed and is just undergoing PR” this summer to only believe what we’ve been told, which is that Ronaldo wants to leave and City are supposedly going to put in an offer (that is, if Di Marzio is right about this one).

Was he ever sober.

Probably not, but he was slurring so much there that he sounded like a meths addled tramp.

Went to make a sandwich before, was barely 10min, 50 fucking pages i was behind when i got back. Taken me an hour or so to catch up. Knackered now, still fuel in the tank to read redcafe mind.

What a mad as fuck last few days eh.

 

[Eoiyflem]

Moise Kean about to sign for juve, city's bid of £25m incoming. Even sky know it's happening

And that's just off the city fans :)

Maybe the case is reversed - I don't remember hearing any serious grumbles from the Ronaldo camp about leaving until the last couple of days. I think similar to Messi, that if there had been sustained rumours of availability most major clubs would've been chomping.

Perhaps the Kane deal falling through offered Ronaldo/Mendes the opportunity to push for a move to us. As such not a case of lack of preparedness from our side.

Just playing Devil's Advocate

So out of the two, who gets to be top dog as they battle for the Balon whatever, or be top scorer, or Ronaldo is having a bad game, you reckon he will want to get hooked off for Messi, or Messi wants Ronaldo bellowing ‘SUII’ or whatever the fuck it is, in his ear every game?

Ronaldo has to beat Messi and vice versa . Each has to carry their team to ultimate victory and they can't do that if they are on the same side. Neither is the sharing type.

Whereas to his credit Ronaldo has done it in the hardest league in the world and wants to prove it (hopefully) again in the prem Messi went for the easy option in France

Until I see one of these I ain't convinced of anything ;-)

Because he is exactly what we need.

An absolute master of putting it in the onion net.

 

[Bernard20]

If he does sign it's not just what he would do on the pitch, off it would mean so much more for our global appeal

This argument is always a struggle for me… you saying that a 36yo Ronaldo does more for us commercially than say a Foden or a KDB. I just don’t buy into it.

I’m not against the signing, as he’s going to score goals. I just don’t buy that he’s a bigger pull than Grealish or Foden or KDB, on a marketing side of things (…Peak Ronaldo is a different thing).
