Cristiano Ronaldo

[Blue Maverick]

It’s only the older the supporters than dislike Ronaldo, just look at when Grealish signed they had kids with his haircut in the ground in City tops, from a marketing side it’s a no brained the PlayStation generations and you tube kids will lap it up, he’s second only to Messi. From a footballing perspective he is a machine and is probably fitter than most 28 year olds he doesn’t need to do all the running we have youngsters to do that. Do I like his arrogance absolutely not but that is celebrated in other countries in the USA they lap it up, us Brits like the Messi type on the pitch but he used us to get what he wanted so at least we know where we stand with Ronaldo. I say sign him and bring Delap on over the next two seasons to replace him.

Has Mendes woken up yet?

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 :)

12 years though since he played for them.

Pep wants to win the Champs League, for his own ego and for providing the owners with the one trophy to elude us so far. He’s not particularly arsed about the league any more, we’ve won it often enough, and I think Ronaldo would provide us with a far better opportunity to win it than Harry Kane would, due to prior experience and also turning up in the big games.

No brainer for me.

They have had plenty of opportunity in the last 48hrs....

Because we’re waiting to hear from Mendes how much Juventus are willing to wiggle. It can be over very quickly if they won’t let him come for free! As things stand it is a possibility, so we won’t shut it down. But at the same time it could easily be over by tonight, we’ll just have to see!

The problem is that the only player Juventus seem interested in is Jesus. If they wanted Bernardo this could have already been completed both ways.

Mendes only arrived in Turin yesterday!

Negotiation.

Our forte.

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

You are probably right mate, but if wages can be sorted I see no issues why this can't go a head.


Well apart from a few City fans who just don't want him.

Has Mendes woken up yet?

There will be two phases. Ronaldo has to agree to our offer/conditions first. Only then mendes will deal with Juve. That's when news will leak to reporters.
I don't think we will hear anything until late.

Something doesn't sit well with me. If Ronaldo is prepared to reduce his wage demands why has he not been offered to other teams. Utd would be the obvious team to finish his career with or a return to Madrid.

Our forte.

Haha, made me laugh. True true. £30mil it is then.
