Cristiano Ronaldo

[Keeper!]

Aggressive must've meant buying a player with a release clause and a ridiculous one at that. I think the writing was on the wall for this window when we hadn't made any signings until after the first week in August.

Paying that 100m set a marker, and we seriously expected Levy to let us have Kane on the cheap after spending a 100m big ones on Grealish, just WOW

 

[Kippax1973]

I'll be well pissed off if he bangs in 30 odd goals for the scum this season

Luckily there team ain't on a parr with ours,, thank fuck or yes he would deffo

 

[homerdog]

Awful management if true.

But it isn't, so get over yourself!

 

[Tugay One Cup]

The only thing stopping me from enjoying this moment half as much as the CAS verdict is that half of you aren't in on it.

We're literally the best team in the country and when the second best player of modern times came crawling on his hands and feet begging to join, we shrugged our shoulders and acted with indifference.

Hopefully we sign a striker. I'm not arsed at this point as long as he doesn't look like Peewee Herman with abs.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

The same team that beat us in the final added to their squad a piece they needed. We added grealish to a team full of mids that already play his position. If you can’t see Chelsea are just as good as us then I don’t know what your not seeing

I'm not sure where this Lukaku is the world's greatest striker has come from. Awful player if you ask me

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Biggest mistake this summer isn't missing out on this **** because make no mistake he is a **** but we'd have sucked that up if palying for us, we didn't move for Messi who I think would have been less successful here however, as I started to say, the biggest mistake was spending all window on fucking Kane with no chance of an outcome.

I'd have brought a lower level (Ings) type player in as soon as Levy dismissed our first bid. We'd no longer be desperate and would have been in a better negotiating position however we looked at.

As it is any bid for anyone now is going to have City tax x 3 added.

 

[Super-Barwuah]

Just proves all the bullshit in the media itk etc. Spurs we didnt even bid for kane or Ronaldo so apart from Grealish nothing else was even Going on lol

We need swales back lol he would of paid ronaldo double his fee and wages no doubt and paid his taxi from the airport

 

[Father Paul]

Fucking hell,this thread has more pricks than a pin cushion.

Some of the comments are genuinely abysmal,proper sad as fuck.

Ahh lads are just a bit down after the events of the week. To be expected.

 

[Half time draw tickets]

“City reject
City reject
Allo allo..”

This is quality - get it out the bag for the derby

 

[DrBlueBob]

Are we allowed to say we can't stand the twat again yet?

Well he's gone from being a magnificent physical specimen who is the best in the world to an overpaid no end product show pony overnight so I would say yes, we can.

 

[Horlocksleftpeg]

Lol. I bet the rest of the world are shitting it in the hope we don’t replace our incompetent staff with a competent transfer team so we can actually start challenging for things & maybe even win something

Pmsl

Another one happy with Torres upfront next season

 

[kanovic]

"Chelsea are now better then us" eh? They're quite far behind in my opinion and will be by the end of the season

Not a chance mate. Chelsea will be right up there and imo are favorites. You can’t compare lampard Chelsea with Tuchels. The guy is a hell of a manager and has proven it so far. They have been amazing with him and know how to grind out results. And now with lukaku they will score even more where Werner was missing sitters

 

[paulchapo]

Talking of complete idiots, how does Chelsea getting Lukaku suddenly make them 'better than us'. This is the self same Chelsea who finished 19 points behind us last season and we've added Grealish into the mix as well.

Last season they stuttered for half of it with Lampard in charge. Once Tuchel came in they were a different proposition, as we sadly found out. Add Lukaku and they are stronger and more than closer to us.

 

[Centurions]

The same team that beat us in the final added to their squad a piece they needed. We added grealish to a team full of mids that already play his position. If you can’t see Chelsea are just as good as us then I don’t know what your not seeing

You said 'better than us', not 'as good as'. And they still finished 19 points behind us.

 

[Super-Barwuah]

Probably because they beat us three games in a row including the biggest game of all, then added a proper striker, while we still have no decent finisher at the club.

Word

 

[Fordyboy46]

So the rags will now have Ronaldo?, Greenwood, Rashford, Cavani whilst we have Delap. Absolutely ridiculous to not strengthen up front

no we did not, we tried to sign him on the cheap, the rags got wind and they paid the asking price.

Us pulling out was PR, nothing more

 

[Zinchilla]

Probably naive, but the only pure 9 we have is Delap. Play him every game, accept there will be stinkers but fuck it, surround him with love, the lad will be surrounded by world class creators, build him up. Haaland didn’t suddenly become a £150m player the day he joined Salzburg. Delap looks strong physically, just play him and be patient for once. And fuck the rest. Fuck all the crap we get, I don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks, I support City, I love the club. Don’t have a pop at the board. Use all this shit to come together and channel it.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Seems like the Kane situation on repeat. Lots of media speculation, but as Pep said, no offers made because they didn’t want to negotiate. I am sure the CR farce was just a ruse to embarrass City because we all know he wanted to return to United. These fake news stories do lasting damage though, an elderly relative who has since passed away talked for years about City ruining football by spending all that money on Kaka. Despite many conversations I still never convinced her that City never signed him.

 

[Dax777]

Wouldn't be like a super agent to use city to get a better deal at another club would it?

Don't think it has to do with the agent. United just couldn't bare us getting Ronaldo so cheap. So they bid. Fair enough.
