Cristiano Ronaldo

[balotelli's back pocket]

You lot make me crease. Solskjaer looks smug - he always does. Pep looks worried - he's got a left back in prison. Mendes talking to United - it's called a negotiation.

Look, if Ronaldo goes there instead of coming here, I'd be immensely surprised. Immensely.

You got to laugh at this thread, the fluctuating contrasts on an hourly basis. Early morning high optimism, someone mentions the rags are now involved, pessimism starting. A tweet from an Italian journalist, yay back on again. Utd's odds coming back down, shit, pessimism again. It's been great so far, as you were guys

This is the best part of a transfer saga, the final unknown before the big reveal.

 

[Blue Maverick]

If Ronaldo goes to United it could end Oles reign, if he can’t do well with him in the team he needs sacking.

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

So let me get this straight.

up until the very minute he was on the plane to manchester he was ours.
Suddenly he’s in the air and he’s agreed to go to United instead? That doesn’t add up to me to be honest.
Maybe I’m wrong but this reeks of United damage control to me

His agent messing us around. We should look elsewhere for a striker while we still can.

 

[Summerbuzz]

Still optimistic, but, there is a worry that the timing of the Mendy news couldn't have been worse for the club.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I don't want him and he's going PSG.

On a lighter note, I've got the 1989 City kit replica delivered today and it's better quality than I thought it would be

Won’t make you 32 years younger sadly….

 

[Centurions]

You are hedging your bets , surprised you dont know either way

I suspect only Ronaldo and his team know for certain right now Kaz.

 

[Leeky]

sounds like we've been mugged off

 

[Del_Bosque]

Yea it’s over

Txiki, Omar and Ferran can all fuck off

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Redcafe seem to think he's going there. And the media seem to be clickbaiting them

 

[Blue warrior]

This just shows how quickly a transfer can change and well informed posters/journalists can get left with their pants down. Speed of wrapping up deals rapid can lead to high jack.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Now that they are involved he will go there. City have been hesitant all along, unwilling to pay a fee initially, a significant wage reduction for him to join. I don’t think we are convinced we want to sign him but we have panicked ourselves into saying to Mendes if you make it attractive, we’ll do it. So it would be quite easy for rags to gazump us on fee and wages. I don’t see City competing too hard on that.

[CWMCFC]

An absolutely monumental fuck up by the board if they have screwed this one up too.

No defending them if they fail to sign a number 9 with the funds they've had at their disposal this summer.

 

[bluemcr]

Going the scum oh well

 

[DMA's]

The only thing good to come out of this is that Utd don't need a striker.

Against Southampton they have martial up top. Ronaldo will improve them it would be stupid to say otherwise not to mention the lift it will give their players. Sanchez all over again

 

[TheThirdDeano]

His agent messing us around. We should look elsewhere for a striker while we still can.

You mean the agent with 4 high profile players under big contracts with us? Yeah I’m sure he’d do that

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Even if Ronaldo has no intention of going back there, the Rags would have to put an offer in and make Ronaldo the bad guy for turning them down just as a basic PR move

 

[Dax777]

He's the worst manager they've had since Tommy Docherty. He's spectacularly out of his depth.

I have never managed a professional team. I can incorporate Ronaldo. It's the least complicated thing one can do. Take out Cavani. Insert Ronaldo.

That is the length and breathe of the complexity.
