Cristiano Ronaldo

[Ajm1985]

I’m really so ashamed of what our fans have become.

Hope when it doesn’t happen, people take a long hard look in the mirror

I get that...but we don't determine who the club buys and I'm not the biggest fan of booing our own players. If they get Ronaldo, it will be ridiculous - a testament to poor contingency planning & overconfidence in dealing with Levy - but he'd also score a bucket. He's clearly not a right fit in terms of style or personality though.

2010?

That's probably as late as you could hop on the bandwagon without being a glory hunter. It's like you saw a rising stock price and pounced.

You nailed that perfectly. I didn’t know football at all but I hated the rags based off their coverage in America and wanted to get in to football. Didn’t even know the take over was a thing. Incredible read. Well played!

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.

Another plus is his experience of winning our owners holy grail , he knows how to get over the line in the biggest game in football , there are so many reason to sign him , but the Rags connection is an issue for me and proabably for a lot of our support.
It will soon be forgotten if we win a quadruple , where a fickle bunch us football fans :)

City snubbed for the 2nd day running, that's the headlines

Read between the lines.

No ITK input? Must know something?

That tweet reeks of rag fear, is he fuck finished. Joint top scorer in the euros, still scored shitloads for Juve last season. Even one season with us would be fine, gives us that figurehead up front we don't currently have.
Still think it's a really difficult move to complete in such a short space of time though

Mendes has been hanging around for a while though, so I think this will move quicker than we expect.

My point is that this is the best board in the 130ish year history of Man City and your baseline of it being "embarrassing" that we decided to only buy a single 100m player after almost winning the quadruple is ridiculous.

That’s so many assumptions that I never made. We’ve had our pants pulled down a few times now and many of them very recently now that we’re at the top of the table. I’ll be fine and city will be fine either way. I’m just saying I don’t think we’ll let that happen again.

I agree but are we really overpaying here? If he actually reduces his salary by 50% then I think paying €25M shouldn't be a problem.

Could just be City trying to test Juventus a bit too. See how low they go. Unlike Spurs with Kane, they need to sell.

Remember Ched Evans?

Let's not make allegations without the full facts.

Yes, let's re-sign him too.

Messi took 3 days...

I'm guessing that Messi took a lot longer than that and PSG did a lot of spade work in the months prior to signing him
