Cristiano Ronaldo

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

there was a report yesterday while the Ronaldo shit was going on that City we’re looking at Aubameyang from an Arsenal journalist

He doesn’t suit our style of play at all. Can’t see it happening

 

[Burtonblue]

If we’re not signing him there must be a very good reason.
Time to trust our management.
They’ve not exactly let us down yet have they!

 

[Beanhead]

I’m really not sure how we have let this happen. Complete circus.

 

[inchy14]

City forcing the rags to go in and pay ridiculous wages for Ronaldo probably rules them out of Haaland or even Mbappe next season.

 

[Hoghead]

So who will take the penalties for the rags?

 

[swinton blue]

The way I look at it
Would I have paid 25 mil for Ronaldo?
Yes I would but maybe that's why I am not involved with football clubs and transfers
It looks like the money wasn't the problem and it was some of our people not convinced he was right for peps team maybe even pep himself might have had doubts
Most of us were taken in by all the twitter bollocks but it looks like we were never as close as what was being said

Yes.

One horse race to sign Kane - failed
One horse race to sign Ronaldo - failed
Turned our nose up on a free Messi who we’ve chased for a decade
Gave Chelsea a free run on Lukaku because we were naive enough to think we’d get kane.
No striker for 2 seasons running.
Incompetent.

Very hard not to agree with all of the above....

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

It is a succesful negotiating tactic only if it works, which it repeatedly didn't. Sometimes you have to pay extra money or you lose your targets and if you keep losing targets, results on the pitch will be affected sooner or later. The board has to be realistic, we are not Real Madrid, players look to us as an atrractive option but no more than that. We keep behaving like that in the transfer market and no player or club will take us seriously.

I swear to god some people on here want the buzz of signing galacticos over the buzz of having a team and squad who actually win trophies.

Champions of England?

My main annoyance in all this is fucking Ferdinand knowing this morning and getting something right.

 

[Gumzy97]

Fcuk me, surely we aren't that desperate ?

 

[kun]

Now yes but when we signed them:

KDB: was seen as Chelsea reject who had an amazing season at Wolfsburg. He was on the up but wasn’t a top tier player at the POINT of purchase.

Sterling: same he had a cracking season with Liverpool, but wasn’t top tier category.

Mahrez: you can state or debate was already Players player of the year with the title
Winning Leicester.

KDB was Bundesliga PoTY, and was desperately wanted by Bayern Munich and PSG.

Sterling was Golden Boy and a-list (for a youngster).

 

[Super-Barwuah]

We’ve got pep for another 2 years, not really sure a season of transition is where peps head is at. This summer was supposed to be about getting a striker in and we haven’t for various reasons. Couldn’t really give two shits about ronaldo, but I know pep will not be happy going into the season without a recognized striker. Still hopeful this season will be successful, but if it’s not then it’s really a fuck up on our part not giving pep the right tools.

Let's hope city shine but I do think we've not learned as champions again to improve especially letting sergio go ....unless delap is a gift

 

[City14]

Kane did say he's staying "this summer" and not I'm staying at Spurs so maybe we will go back in for him at some point? I don't know.

I mean do you take a 29year old Kane, Levy would probably still want 90M+

or do you say fuck it we are all in for Haaland. Which I doubt.
Hence I think we will go for a tier 2 striker like Isak or Martinez. Around 50 to 60M.

Perhaps this thread should be locked and deleted?
Save those red cunts from gloating

Get fucked. It's a classic thread.

 

[TonyM]

Who's this Ronaldi guy people are talking about? Some 36 yr old geeza?

Mbappe is going to madrid

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Turning down the chance of Messi AND Ronaldo in the same window, fuck me, we really have arrived haven't we?

Oh, and 'arry.

Don't forget Ings.

 

[Bald fraud]

That went downhill quickly. On a positive note, Pep has gone from definitely leaving in 2 years to maybe staying for 5 years. Perhaps that was the trade-off.

I honey don’t think pep wanted him. Hence his comments today. Sign him and I could be off in two months. Or let me bring in who I want and I could be here another five years
