Brace yourselfs for the Ronaldo media w@nkfest to reach a climax this weekend when he makes an appearance at Trafford.

Already bragging how many Ronaldo shirts the rags are selling on Sky Sports

He isn’t the sharpest tool in the box, couldn’t get in the rags team last year so was shipped out on loan. So gets excited about more players coming in and pushing him down the pecking order.

Says a lot about Solskjaer's coaching ability, when Moyes has him performing at a much higher level.

The Torygraph are running with a campaign to stop football's Saturday 3PM televised blackout in the UK because ...

"Cristiano Ronaldo's return is for everyone to see."

What does Noddy do? Taggert is on tactics, Phelan makes the subs and I imagine Carrick takes training? Or does he get commission for mentioning 99?

Cue all the rags saying that the cost of Ronaldo's fee and wages will be more than covered by shirt sales which is a myth they trot out whenever they shell out too much for a player. (Think Pogba).

Firstly, the rags sell around 3 million shirts a year and that figure doesn't vary much up or down. Although they may get some additional sales the bulk of the shirts would go to rags who would have bought one anyway. It's just that they'll have the name Ronaldo on the back instead of Lingard, Lindelof or McTominay.

Secondly, most clubs get only 10%-15% of royalties from kit manufacturers on shirts they sell. However, the rags' kit deal with Adidas is so front loaded with basic sponsorship cash they get only 5%-6% royalties. Say shirt costs £70. Sales of 3 million would gross £210 million. 5% of that is £10.5 million which wouldn't cover his transfer fee and would only cover about 4 months wages.

[Big Swifty]

If City re-signed Aguero in a couple of years, how much media frenzy would there be, I wonder.

No. I don't wonder - I know. Don't tell me.
