Cristiano Ronaldo

[Beanhead]

Anyone that thinks this is good needs their heads read. Us not getting him or an elite striker is not good and the Rags getting a 30 goal a season one is even worse.

Need to throw £200m at a Haarland deal

 

[bluemoon32]

Hopefully someone new will come through this season and when Haaland turns us down, we can go after the new kid on the block whilst pretending we were never in for Haaland anyway

So the club should do bad deals just so City fans don't get laughed at by their rag mates? Maybe don't dish it out to your rag mates until deals are done in future?

Anyone who sent any messages, pics or anything 'rubbing it in' are very stupid.

 

[Legal Alien]

Spend 40m on Nathan Ake no question, but 25m for the second greatest player of all time? Too expensive. Txiki Birgistain that.

I maybe wrong but i doubt the transfer fee was the problem, i'd guess it was the £500k a week for two years!

 

[Lavinda Past]

I miss Danny Ings now.

Honestly.

Oh well, never mind...It's pretty certain that Txiki would have bottled out of the move as soon as Villa joined the queue

I wonder if we're going to bid for that 6' 9" lad now...? Last chance saloon.

Not a new toy. just a competent striker personally

Yeah same. But a lot of fans are upset we didbt get Messi or Kane. If our club was in the game of giving out toys like Utd are they'd of done something like sign Ronaldo even if they thought it didn't make footballing sense.

Ah well, back to looking for a striker with a few days to go then?

 

[wolviedinho]

The whole Twitter reports nonsense is now confirmed as bullshit click bait. Let’s remember that for future transfers. Literally everything reported was a lie.

We won the league last year without one. Will be fine

I know that but everyone has strengthened, Chelsea have a competent coach and a guy that can put the ball in the net, Liverpool have Van dijk and are in for ocampos and Bissouma, united have Ronaldo maybe, Varane and Sancho, we have bought Grealish which is brilliant but we don’t have a person that can finish chances Tottenham Game for example created chances couldn’t finish a striker finishes that Mahrez chance.

this seems like the season when we did not replace Kompany. And we suffered because of that big time.

 

[Blue Elmo]

Of course we don’t know what the ins and outs of all these deals have been, but surely the people up top (Txiki, Ferran, Berrada etc.) must understand how awful the optics are for the club. They will frame it as not even bidding for Kane or choosing to walk away from Ronaldo, but ultimately it looks like we’ve been beaten/bested in both scenarios. It’s that that irritates me more than anything. You go into a new season having already felt like you’ve taken big blows already and are somewhat up against it.

Add in the fact that everyone around us has strengthened, both domestically and on the continent too. Momentum and positive performances can indeed be bought by getting certain players in. I have an awful feeling we’re going to fall well behind because we have missed out on doing just that.

We’ll still piss the Carabao though.
