Cristiano Ronaldo

[burning blue soul]

Well it's being mentioned on a City board, by City fans before he's even signed, or being linked to come by anything other than Twitter/SSN.

I was referring to the msm.

On here we have a brutal honesty. No fucker is allowed to get away with anything!!! :D

The £25m isnt for Juventus its to pay the remainder of his 2 years left on his contract , his agent then wants "only" £250k a week for another two year contract with us , probably a total cost of £50m for two years , which for a player of his stature isnt stupid money , despite his age.
Its just the thought of his name being on the back of our shirt i can't get to grips with , the saving grace is imagine the pain the Rags will go through when he scores a last minute winner in a derby game at the Swamp , that would be priceless.

I just look at it in simple terms that it increases our chances of winning trophies, and gives us a bit of breathing space to find the future striker. He is clinical, and in our team wouldn’t need to do too much running around, and imo is a far better player than Harry Kane, even at 36, and would be ideal for Pep’s final 2 years with us.

If we've offered that(230k), considering what he earns now, there are probably some big bonus incentives to make sure he hits the numbers City want(have you been reading my posts Txiki?).

Probably gets to keep all this city related image and commercial income etc but I knew it would be a reasonably low wage because it's Ronaldo and Mendes doing all the chasing not us. They came to us !

Probably a fair assessment, I'd have thought.

So that fits in with it costing £25m on the books

Bernardo has never played in Spain. I think it’s more a case of he’s not a fan of the Manchester weather anymore… that’s what I took from all the stories.

I could be putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5, but Bernardo announced he was in a new relationship in the middle of 2020, then that summer he asked to leave, and obviously still wants out a year later. My guess is he is madly in love, she hates UK life and he has decided to move for her. So Spain, Italy, I don’t think it matters too much as long as the lifestyle suits them as a couple. Could be wrong though but it adds up to me.

I agree... we were looking at Kane who was also a temporary fix (because that suits Pep) so why not do the deal for CR, boil a ton of piss in Salford and add goals... No brainer for me IF Haaland is simply out of reach.

United still feed of the Ronaldo legacy in marketing terms. Just look at their Merchandise. This signing would deliver a huge blow to them in real financial terms. It's a yes from me....
