Not a bit signing Ronaldo would have jeopardised our transfer plans for the next 2 years also he is on a massive decline don't let his stats in Italy or his tap ins and pens for Portugal get in the way of that. There was a reason Madrid let him go 3 years agomorning folks, although them numbers for ronaldo are eye watering anyone else still feel abit deflated the way the last 24 hours panned out? From thinking we had a goal machine arriving and it was so left field it was exciting, watching the ex rag players and fans kicking off about it to the quick flip and now we still dont have a striker and we ware getting ridiculed for losing out? A forward was the ONE area we HAD to fill this summer and if we dont it is a fuck up on the boards behalf to not back pep to the max!

If Mbappé goes to Real, PSG will have a Haaland size fee weighing down their pockets, & an Mbappé sized hole to fill.The only one is Bayern, maybe can try to lure Lewan away, causing them to renew his contract with high wages...
Plus if we fail to sign him I think that makes the full set
:-)Haha as I predicted, we’re going to end up spending £80m on Richarlison aren’t we
Maybe we’re playing 12d chess after all….It would be Machiavellian in it's execution. Letting our rivals move first and give us a clear run at our main target. Almost certainly too good to be true, but we can live in hope!
What the actual fuck are you on about?It's like a child's patiently build sea-defence system built on sand in the face of the tide. We know it wont work but we do it anyway, and we even take delight in it, and at the end when the water runs amok we stamp all over it and run back to the tent one day older and really none the wiser? maybe some learn. But soon they will be in their deck-chair with brain cells dying. All that we can do is impact and contribute to this world while are here so that when our children inherit it it is a better world.
Richarlison ffs lol…Haha as I predicted, we’re going to end up spending £80m on Richarlison aren’t we
its relative......How can it have set us backwards considering we didn't have a striker last season either? Yes, the others have improved but I think the impact of Grealish is going to be massively greater than some believe.
Welcome to the world of Marvin the Marvellous.What the actual fuck are you on about?
This is some seagulls & sardines level shit...... :-|
Best bet from the outside I can see that. However I said it last night and having slept on it I ‘m even more of the opinion that Pep is the one determined to either get the right striker for him, or go with what he has.Best bet at this point is a loan deal for a forward
But the question is who is going to loan us a forward of any real quality and if they did they would screw us big time
We don’t know if they have improved yet. How often do we think a team has a good window and things don’t work, fairly often with Chelsea it even happened last summer. They do have a better coach now though, Wouldnt surprise me if united had a worse season either, collecting players not team building.its relative......
If we havent improved (stood still) and others have...we have slipped backwards. We cant continue to rely on false 9, other teams are stronger as well
I dont believe Grealish will have that greater impact unless it is thrust upon him and he grabs it due to the absence of KDB for long periods of time.
I guess it comes down to how much someone believes that Grealish is going to improve us....what I agree with is that he allows us more flexibility in our approach (ie for starters we dont have to play Raheem on the left)
Lightning doesn’t ,controlled explosions do.Lightning doesn't always strike twice.
