Cristiano Ronaldo

[Username Required]

His contract at Juve runs out in 12 months. I'd offer him a 2 year contract and pay Juve what they want.

I am not seeing a downside. City have the perfect game for Ronaldo. Crosses raining in from either flank. And if defenders have to mark Ronaldo then it frees everything up for Sterling and our wide forwards. Ronaldo is not quick any more but he has good technique and good in the air. He is simply better than what we have. Just do the deal City. Why wouldn't you? Not seeing why some people think this is complicated.

Feelings; negative feelings towards him.

Can he score goals is the ONLY question.

That’s not questioned by me, he does score goals lots of goals, he’s a noted goal scorer.

Our success has come from playing as a team with goals coming from many different players and my worry is that the focus that he would demand would reduce the number of goals scored by the team in general.

Also, Ronaldo in a City shirt? Please take that image away!

Anyone hear the plonker city fan on talksport saying he wouldn’t attend any city games while Ronaldo is at the club and wouldn’t even celebrate if Ronaldo scored a last minute champions league final winner

wind it in

I remember when none of us wanted Bellamy and he got a standing ovation after his cameo debut

he’s scored pretty much a goal per game over his career and still doing it yet people don’t want him because he wore a united shirt 12 years ago.

I rated Bellamy

If we can get him for sub £20M on less than what KdB earns I’d take him

I hope so as well. But, I'll admit I'm starting to get a bad feeling about it.

Yeah me too. Been here so many times and always ended in disappointment.

But this if we pulled it off would break football. The piss boiling and whinging would be stratospheric. Heads would be blown. It would reinforce our status as top dogs

All for 25m euros.

It’s a no from me.
He’s an ageing yet still great player but him in a City shirt? It just wouldn’t seem right and IMO having everything set up to service him, which is what he expects, would goose the team dynamic.

I'm a naysayer myself (as I was with Kane) but the caveat, as always, is once they pull on the shirt all pre-conceptions about whether it would 'seem right' or 'fit right' go out of the window.
The idea that Pep would chuck the team dynamic out the window to shoehorn in an ageing galactico is ridiculous. It's not the early post takeover days when we were the 'desperate' party when it came to links with similar profile player.
The boot is on the other foot now .... fuck it I'm off to change my vote :)

Your mistake was listening to talksport

 

[domalino]

Without a renowned goal scorer.Can we congratulate Chelsea.

Yes.

Congratulations on finishing second, it was a close run race, better luck next year.

Why aren't the rags in for him?

Once bittern.

Some on here said the same.
