Shit anyway, never wanted him. Rag ****.

With what's happened with Mendy, you can bet that during the first week after signing for us the press would be asking all sorts of questions about us as a club, because of the Ronaldo rumours.

We don't need it and we don't need him. Onwards and upwards.

Any developments in the last hour? Really buzzing about us signing CR7.

He was seen getting into a car at Manchester Airport, but his arrival has been apparently delayed due to the chauffeur needing to get out for a dump or something.

The happy clappers will deny it but first summer in a while it's felt like we've just not done what we needed to do.

We did exactly what we said we'd do because we're not ran on the whims of Twitter nonces and instead have a long term planned financial and recruitment strategy.

We said we'd get Grealish and we got Grealish. We'd said we'd get Kane or nobody and we didn't get Kane so will happily go with nobody.

That's what we briefed, that's what we did.

The very fact we have fuck knows how many scouts and board members paid millions and millions of pounds all around the world and the best names they could come up with as a replacement for Sergio aguero is Harry Kane and ronaldo says it all.

There has got to be a young too quality striker somewhere in Europe who would be perfect for us. The Scouting department have to do better

There’s a dearth of talent up front worldwide. It’s the most barren any position has ever been in football history.

Football has been so obsessed with training players on all the technical side of the game that the sport has forgotten how to bring through #9s.

There’s only one true potentially top class #9 in the world who is under 28 years old (most are over 30!). That player is Haaland (Mbappe isn’t a true #9), and he’s only come through with that potential because of his natural ability rather than anything any academy has done.

It’s all well and good saying we have to do better, but we can’t get some magic dust and sprinkle it over all the world’s academies to bring through a new influx of #9s. If they aren’t there, they aren’t there.

Pep: “There are 3/4 days left, let’s see what happens” soo are we in for someone else then?

 

[vmsuhail]

No striker. This is going to be a very difficult season, unless there’s back up to plan B

It's a difficult season regardless. There are 2 hungry teams desperate for that title - Chelsea and United. Let's make use of our talented squad, and who knows Torres and Jesus could really click this season.

Especially when the chairman promises big moves etc? He also said he understood the fans about the exterior of the etihad needing some TLC but done nothing about that either!

There's your problem right there, putting great store in what Khaldoon says in those end of season gimmick video's
