Cristiano Ronaldo

I think it would be a good deal if we are within 80-90m including wages. 40m/year for a striker who can bring in 40 goals in our team seems reasonable tbh. Not to mention the commercial aspect + piss from the united fans etc..
 
Obviously Ronaldo has been a phenomenal player but I think he works best working off another quality forward. That was one of the issues from what I saw of Juventus in the champions league, he's their focal point they look for at earlist opportunity making him easier to mark. Leading our line at 36 is a big ask. Seems clear we want someone very dangerous attacking crosses, teams couldn't afford to sit so deep leaving the flanks free with the quality of delivery from Mahrez, Cancelo, Phoden and KDB etc. Thinking about it this signing would fit being "disruptive" from the Chairman's comments more than Grealish or Kane.
 
"surely he has to get approval of Fergie"
The others are boring but this is gold. Acting like he is a 12 year old that needs to ask his alcoholic father for permission.
"we have to match whatever City offers"
City offer a genuine shot at winning every single trophy we compete for under the leadership of the best manager around. How do the deluded fucks think the bus driver matches that offer?
 
As a legacy blue/bert I will find him signing as piss funny for several reasons and would be in tune with city I love as it's a bit left field especially after tears of links with messi and then shunning the wanker, annoys our booboy section of fans, annoys the rags, will probably annoy the pundits and journos, and really will be a year or two of another world class player and athlete for our youngsters to gain knowledge from.

This is fuck all like when we signed kanchelskis, because we were desperate, we do this one because if the wage/fee is right it works.

Still if it don't happen I won't lose any sleep
Pretty much where I am. Upsets all the right people and when you look beyond the preening and past associations he is still a world class footballer.
The key is were not desperate like with Kanchelskis or even looking to lay a marker down like Tevez. On the face of it he needs us more than we need him so what will be will be.
 
For me it's a yes because I couldn't think of a better stop gap until we find another striker based on being at this point of his career. Haaland won't happen.. but the next couple of seasons I'm sure we will find another young target coming through the ranks maybe delap can alternate before ronaldo leaves to use him as a mentor. The service he will get here will be phenomenal and he will knock goals in week in week out.
