Cristiano Ronaldo

[talkativesprout]

Yes.

The guy just represents everything our team is not about.

Absolute panic station purchase.

Serial winner doesn't represent what City are about?...ok mate

People can’t stand Ronaldo because he played for the shite. The majority think Messi is the greatest player ever. Messi is 2 years younger. If you watched Messi and Ronaldo play last season the difference was huge in terms of general play as Messi still looked head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch in the majority of games.

Personally I’d have taken either but wanted a striker desperately. Now Kane has fell through signing Ronaldo could we’ll be the difference between losing and retaining our title. Ronaldo will score shitloads and will also give us the aerial threat we badly miss in the last 20 minutes of games when our passing game has failed to open teams up.

It would be nice to have a striker who can score headers, when you consider the amount of crosses we fire in to either nobody or a 5'7 midfielder.

Mike Summerbee's friend in football was George Best. Certainly a good friend. Alex Stepney played for City. Brian Kidd, assistant manager. The past is the past. Many of us have fathers, sons, brothers and mothers who are Man Utd and loved Ronaldo. Were they wrong to do so? he simply played for their team, and hopefully he'll play for ours, and if he does, their memories are destroyed not ours.

Alex stepney never played for city. Was goalkeeper coach but never played

To be fair it's not very often you see us just lob aimless crosses in compared to a lot of teams, but yes I agree he brings something different to a game and can be a defenders nightmare when he gets the right service

If we don't crush the rumours today via our media mouthpieces then there is definitely something in this.

But we did have the opportunity to do so last night so looks like it could be true...

Lol, did you cut and paste this from the Kane thread mate?

 

[Ruzzles]

If he comes, you gotta remember he really wants to then as he will have to dramatically reduce his wages. I see that as commitment, besides that he also has a elite mentality think he'd be great

We do it whenever we fail to break teams down. Last 20 minutes of games like at Spurs last week we put loads of aimless crosses in. Basically the last 20 minutes of games we lose it happens. So most times against the shit these days. Pointless with our usual forward line but wouldn’t be if Ronaldo is in the box.

You know he would have to have number 1!!

 

[mattcity5]

He would score goals for us, but so would younger 'lesser' players due to the possession we have and the chances we get. He is clinical though and is a top professional.

However, the age thing... Yes he looks after himself, but if Pep didn't like how Aguero was defensively then he'd hate Ronaldo. He saves himself for when his team have the ball.

These were from a year ago. He's not going to have got any younger or fitter since then...

I stopped looking at the Kane thread as soon as he announced he's staying.

I'm guessing you wrote something similar?
