Cristiano Ronaldo

[Brad mcfc]

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.

Because they are bitter cnuts

i wonder what City owners think about this. had the chance to sign Messi, goes to their rivals from Qatar. had a chance to sign Ronaldo, goes to their club's biggest rivals. surely they've got to be proud enough to not let both of these things happen? they're only people after all.

Also shows what an absolutely phenomenal athlete Tony Book must have been when you consider he didn’t even play professionally until he was 29 or so

He was a smoker.

City trying to avoid paying a fee ffs

Its mental we were willing to pay 130 mil for kane and have paid 100 for grealish

 

[Summerbuzz]

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

Hmm, dunno. We could definitely have stumped up 20m, and immediately have it matched by Utd and others. We'd be in exactly the same place.

Something doesn't sit well with me. If Ronaldo is prepared to reduce his wage demands why has he not been offered to other teams. Utd would be the obvious team to finish his career with or a return to Madrid.

This yesterday

It’s a PR move from the glazers. It’s an easy win for them. And he makes them title challengers whether we want to admit it or not. He is going there.

That's exactly what they would do. Petty bastards.

 

[selim]

Still no official bid for Ronaldo
Great job, City

We deal in the transfer market like we are Real Madrid or something and everyone will kill themselves to play for us.

Classic lol Trying to bluff and outsmart the other party in negotiations and fucking up

 

[baggy]

If they only want him to stop him coming to city then we all know how that's played out for them in the past.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

What have people actually read that has led to this implosion of pants pissing?
Ole looks smug? I’d be if I lucked out in my life as hard as he is.
Pep being pissed? The guy who doesn’t have a ST yet, and his LB is in prison facing people he hates once again.

United literally HAVE to go in for him, and they’ll use all their dark arts and media connections to make it seem they’re winning. If Ronaldo doesn’t want to go he won’t. Maybe he does, but fuck it. I honestly don’t think some of you deserve to be allowed to post here

He could have signed by now before Utd could match it.

 

[Big-P]

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

You must hate going to the match then if you don’t like whinging mard arses

Since everyone is losing their head over one of the two tweets Romano posted, here's the complete view.

He tweeted them both in the span of 2 minutes:





So, 50/50, nothing set in stone, calm your nerves Mancs

PR , a cheap and fantastic get out of jail card for the Glazers

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

if Cr had a 25m buyout clause, Txiki would have sent the money already, look at Laporte, Rodri, Grealish etc., but when there is room to negotiate and haggle its different story, Kane, Koulibaly, Jorginho, Maguire etc.

A) Mata, Lingard, James and Martial are crap.

B) Nostalgia

 

[cjn]

I don’t want Vlahovic :cry:

Don't worry, there is absolutely no chance we can negotiate a €100M deal in four days.
