Cristiano Ronaldo

[Summerbuzz]

That plane's heading for Portugal.

I had it there where three private planes leaving around then - two headed for Portugal and one for the south of Italy.

The question I'm not seeing asked or answered is why would United want him?

They've got Mata, Lingard, James, Cavani, Martial, Rashford, Greenwood & Sancho already fighting for 3 spots. What exactly does Ronaldo add to them on the pitch? It's not a stop gap goalscorer that they need, they literally signed Cavani for that reason.

I find it hard to believe they'd sign a 36y/o on mega wages to purely stop him going to a rival - and if they do, so be it, likely doesn't change much for them on the pitch and hampers them going forward.

 

[Damanino]

Anyone who arrogantly proclaimed that there was no chance he'd go to United and sneered down at those who saw the possibility that he might can absolutely fuck off. Especially after Sanchez.

of course its a possibility he goes there. seems 100% he leaves Juventus, so PSG, City, United are the 3 main options for him left.

i even said yesterday of holding back giving it both barrels to rags at work only to end up with 5 big eggs on my face when they present him...

 

[oddfellows]

And meanwhile what is happening with Berni?

Don’t like Ronaldo, but he’d have scored the goals from the chances we create and have filled our gaping striker shaped hole. We go into this season without a striker, we are finished 3rd/4th. Happy clappers will deny it though.

There’s happy clappers, and there’s morbid moaning cunts who aren’t up for a fight, and there’s those of us who just don’t like whinging mard arses

I had 20+ posts shouting me down first thing this morning, just because I said there were reports saying Ronaldo had been offered to PSG, ManUre & others yesterday.

I hope he comes to City, but regardless it's hard to comprehend how emotionally invested some fans can get, & the abuse they can dish out if things turn to shit.

Anyway, lunch over. Back to work. :-)

Don’t forget the striker who now wants to play as a winger. Think some at city are drunk on their own success

Well yeah I didn’t include him because well he’s a winger now

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

So Ronaldo is flying to Lisbon

Whoever he signs for he can’t play for them now for two weeks. A few days holiday in Portugal and prepare for International duty will be the aim now.

 

[DrBlueBob]

Surely there's one striker in world football who wants to play for us ?

Ha ha, it sounds bad when you put it like that.

 

[Del_Bosque]

City trying to avoid paying a fee ffs

 

[colesy]

How come the rags can have a 32 man squad, and we struggle getting people out just to get one in????

 

[TheRubberRing]

Not arsed about Ronaldo, just find it crazy we are still without a striker.

clubs ego is daft

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

We’ve been left with our bollocks out again it seems.

God I hate those bitter, small time rag cunts.

 

[Octavian]

Unless there’s a buy out clause we are so poor when it comes to being ruthless in the market.

Player going to decide on his own future shocker

To stop him going to City is literally the only reason.

Alternatively, United are being entertained/floated to force City's hand.

He will score more goals than all of those mentioned and it will appease the fans. The glazers want to get back in their good books and this is perfect pr for them

They’ll have asked the same question as to why have we signed Grealish when we have so many options

Sign for us or United, then go off on International Break. He isn't going to play for anybody this weekend anyway, so why not stay in the sun for a week?
