Cristiano Ronaldo

[Chi-town blues]

United fans are pathetic with their takes on Ronaldo being a legend, and he’s a traitor for switching sides. But then in the next breathe calling us a plastic club that isn’t their main rivals because we haven’t won enough trophies lol

i really don’t understand why rags are making such a big deal ?


i really don’t

I thought this was absolute far fetched nonsense 48hrs ago......but it seems not,and i reckon we will know if this is actually happening by the end of play today.

I'm all for it ;-)

Certainly grown on me :)

This signing is a masterstoke. What an impact it will have on on the club. Unreal. Opportunistic yes, but wow.

Jeez it is the middle of the day over here, usually a time when things go quiet on this forum, I step away for an hour or so, another 200 pages added.

Loving the piss boiling that will take place if this does happen. The PR this will bring to the club will be another level, and realistically I prefer this to Kane.

How many people will be saying it is a bad window now? We should really wait until it closes first.

I thoroughly believe over the last decade that Milner was the only player that left the club without any motive.

Other than an unspeakably large signing on fee he leeched from the Red Scouse, you mean? Which was only available because Milner, the overrated snake, was out of contract.

I never considered Ronaldo a legend at United. Yes he won trophies there, but it was only 6 years, and he was really only impressive in the last 3 years.

They always seemed to me like his development club like Birmingham were for Jude Bellingham.

He spent 9 years at Madrid, and that's when his goalscoring really took off and his accolades as well.

He's a legend for Madrid, not for United.

Great post.

Did you also get a Chris Rea one done?

Last weekend I watched an interview with Fernandinho here for a Brazilian channel in which he spoke about some things with his usual brilliance, like about the UCL final. He also said that internally players do talk about the team PSG is gathering up with all the stars and how tough it would be to play against them in head to head UCL games. Then today we draw them. I think with them losing Mbappe and us getting Ronaldo this late in the window, we’re probably establishing a psychological advantage over them. It’s been accidental but it’s working well.
I do hope in January we go for at least a DM or LB, however unlikely it usually is for us.

Yep, I think we’re gonna have to try to be more active in winter cuz next summer is about a longer-term solution up front — and trying to get Pep to extend despite his recent comments I suspect. Add LB and DM and that’s a lot of business to take care of.
