Football wise signing Ronaldo is mere image but...

Business wise very canny.

Apparently the "value" of Un*ted on the NY stock exchange has rocketed skywards on the news of him signing.

For their owners that is all that matters... sod the crap football.

Means nothing unless the shares are sold and the money wont go to the club Unlike Mansour selling a stake to Silverlake with the proceeds reinvested into the CFG

Sanchez all over again

It’s like when Paul Scholes came out of retirement….

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Sanchez all over again

Regardless of how this works out for them, that is an embarrassing way to conduct a transfer policy.

Said earlier that the Ronaldo thing smacks of a united ploy. It's paramount to that club to make it seem that every transfer is a personal victory against us. But it worked pretty well with Fred, Maguire the liar and The World's Most Expensive Hair Cut On Legs.

They're a great team, on paper. But still led by a puppet squirming as Fergie lubes him up, and a real prima donna player culture. They'll still needs var, pens and snookers to stand a chance.

They will get their customary soft VAR and penalty decisions, as well as snookers, friendly refs and very, very late goals but they still won’t finish above us.

For the three forward positions they play with they now have 10 players;

Ronaldo, Cavani, Rashford, Greenwood, Sancho, James, Diallo, Lingard, Mata and Martial.

Even if they shift a few, signing Ronaldo has only made it worse, as they will likely have to play him almost every game to justify buying him and to get any value out of his huge wages.

Bizarre that Ronaldo has gone back there, does he know who they have as a manager and has he seen the football they play. He is in for a shock if not.

They were looking to loan out Diallo but he's now injured and therefore the loans called off, so instead of a reduced wage bill it remains the same and as you say another player wanting a spot.

Fuck him !

“As a Saints fan, I don't begrudge a player like Theo Walcott leaving us to make his name at a much bigger club, then returning in the twilight of his career to give a nostalgic leg-up to the tinpot little outfit that gave him his first break.

In fact, it reminds me of Ronaldo”

Great work by us, then.

Effectively they appear to be falling for the rope a dope each and every time............

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

When we had the "welcome to manchester" posters for Tevez the Rags and baconface called us small time / noisy neighbours , and now they have done exactly the same , we are inside Rags & Dippers heads 24/7 , the Liverpool Comic (Echo) has every other article mentioning us.The lastest being all Dipper fans think Merlin's statue is really Kenny Dalglish , the Dippers are constantly on the wind-up , for such a "boss" football club they do spend a hell of a lot of time referencing everything we do.
Tomorrows Dipper Echo headline "Pep goes for a shit" , and their will be 500 comments of diarrhea like comments from the cult followers , sad wankers.

Not bizarre at all.

[manimanc]

Absolutely sums the red mardarses up and what they've become nowadays.

 

[baggy]

They are selling James as a result but wont be able to get rid of Lingard, Jones, Mata, Pereira and Matic.

PE Teacher refuses to play DVB and insists on playing Fred & McTominay.

They can no longer afford to bring in a holding midfielder they are (really) desperate for.

Yes, i wouldve taken Ronaldo but as stated, U*d never really wanted him and panicked at the thought of him coming to City and swooped in.

If we'd got off our arses and paid Juventus the fee we might have been sorted before the rags came in but Ronaldo can't create his own chances so this might actually backfire on them once the fanfare dies down and they lose a few matches after poor performances like at the weekend against Wolves.

Regardless of who they sign, they still have a woeful coaching team and OGS at the wheel...

 

[Blue Smarties]

How on earth have they convinced Leeds to pay £30m for Daniel James?

 

[sd33]

city were asking 40-50 for bernardo and they are no bids but leeds are willing to pay 30 mil for daniel james

 

[big gaz]

They can have all the help they can get from officials, they can have all the media they want publishing fluff pieces to the masses of clueless cunts that follow them, they can have pundits and commentators blowing smoke up their arses for performances that anyone whose familiar with the sport will know was shite and even after all that they will finish below us and have to watch us lift more silverware whilst they convince themselves that ole will come good next year.

They are a fucking farce of a club that only exist to mug the millions of deluded followers they have into believing the good times are only around the corner.

Fuck'em.

Great post but you missed one word out, SCUM ;-)

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Surely there must be allegations of financial doping in the pipeline?

I mean, are Leeds inadvertently looking to fund 'Manchesh Yoonated' by completely overpaying for an average player?

Answers on a postcard folks............
