Cristiano Ronaldo

[burning blue soul]

I feel homeless..

I can't head to the Messi thread,
I can't head to the Kane thread,
This thread is fubar as well.
I can't even resurrect the Isco thread for fear of the Hammer of Ban...

Where the fuck do I go now?

Let’s get real, was we ever really in for him? A proven goal scorer? The genius that is txiki has decided that signing a midfielder will solve all of our problems so who am I to argue

 

[Колобок]

Have City actually made a statement saying we have pulled out or is that the media?

the guy who as i learned from posters on here is essentially a mouthpiece for City brass tweeted it out.

"Chelsea are now better then us" eh? They're quite far behind in my opinion and will be by the end of the season

I hope you are right mate, I really do.
they have a template which is a bit like catnip to us since Tuckel rocked up. Btw results since he did suggest they aren’t that far behind us. They have strangled us in the last three games. We can bang on about our team selections but they can only beat what is in front of them and they have three times on the trot. One of the reasons they beat us is our missed chances in tight games. That is why I felt it was important for us to get a clinical striker for this season. In a close season where Lukaku, Messi, Ronaldo and Ings have moved club already. Kane and Mbappe want to, Haaland who knows because Dortmund haven’t had a serious offer. And yet we haven’t been able to close anything for a striker.

maybe We will sweep all before us but our rivals have strengthened without a doubt.

City actually tricked United into signing a 37 year old.. hahaha.

We was his first choice but once we said no thanks he chose the desperate cunts.
I'll run with that, it's almost as good as the rags crying he was coming here.
Beautiful.

PR for the Glazers. A death sentence for OGS. They wont deliver their expectations.

Ronaldo will run the dressing room and he won't allow the little fella to mess it up

Just having a nice cup of freshly ground coffee from some poncy company that cost me 6 effing quid for a bag of beans. Whilst watching this thread burn through poor old Ric's bandwidth like my missus goes through a a pot of haagen dazs when it is half price at the shop.

Hope you are well old bean.

Ronaldo would have cost £25-30m and we fuck it off,
sometimes I wonder if the powers that be have a clue what to do when it comes to signing top players

No, they dont. We cant quite get top tier players yet. We will, but not yet. A champs league win wouldve helped

Fully admit the post was wrong and I am sorry for that. No excuses it was wrong.

Nobheads.....take a leaf out of this lads book!

Nice one

If anybody thinks Ronaldo wouldn't have hugely improved our team and won't hugely improve their team, they're deluding themselves and being blinded by their hatred for the rag twat

Unfortunately we've somehow allowed ourselves to be left behind by Chelsea and the Rags having productive transfer windows and by Liverpool having key players back from injury, whilst we've sat still or some may suggest actually gone backwards

Maybe Pep will come up with something again but at the moment it looks like we're in a top 4 fight to me

That assumes City and Utd have similar squads. We don't.

Man Utd have Greenwood, Cavani and Rashford competing for the central striker. City have no one other than kids who are central strikers. City have fantastic wide men in de Bruyne, Mahrez and Grealish who are the best in the game. We would have created loads of chances for Ronaldo. He wont get that at Man Utd.

no doubt we are, but many games we need a focal point and someone to put the ball in the net.

The false nine system stands or falls on being able to limit and control the effectiveness of teams on the counter. This can be achieved by us most of the time but better teams appear to find a way around it. If our defence is not 100% solid as it was last December and January we often find ourselves in trouble.

It also robs us of the type of blistering counters which were common when Sane was around the place and Kun was the focal point of attack. Look all this stuff is well known and I am not stating anything that we have all heard before. But I find it hard to accept though that playing most games with a false 9 particularly big ones is the optimal approach to winning football matches. As things stand currently we look set to find conclusive evidence as to whether this is a good long term strategy this season.
