Cristiano Ronaldo

I know this will be lost on many of you non-Yanks who aren’t American baseball fans (derided as rounders by you lot — yes I know) but for those who might be, this scene from “Moneyball” pretty much precisely encapsulates how I hope the first meeting between Pep and Ronaldo goes, assuming he comes . . . Aging former all-star outfielder David Justice and general manager Billy Beane . . .

He needs to put a City shirt on and sing the "If I die on the kippax street" song, that should swing it

I can't believe how many aren't taking this seriously.

I hope he does

Rooney's quotes lol. "He won't move for financial reasons". Stuck in the past, just in denial that the last 10 years happened.

Fancy asking an ex rag about his ex colleague signing for their rivals?

I mean what was they expecting weetabix head to come out with.

Relax? Not going to happen.

All these travels might make Mendes lose a lot of weight by tomorrow. Good for him.

And why has nobody questioned why its Mendes doing everything on our behalf. Why can't txiki or this omar fella talk to whoever at Juve directly? Given the deal we had with the two youngsters swapping which was obviously an accounting thing and the cancelo and Danilo swap which again was an accounting thing you'd think we were friendly enough with them to be able to speak directly.

Unless they're really fucked off with us about the super league collapse, would make sense in that scenario but if that were the case they wouldn't want to let him come here regardless would they?

We should employ Mendes to handle every transfer for us. Look at the difference, shit gets done.

I am hearing rumours Mendes has a brother, Charlie who is taking over negotiations from tomorrow...

with the help from his younger brother murmur.

It's only 15 minutes more to London by plane. City have an office in London.

But they'll always have Paris.

The morning? He'll have done 4 trips between Turin and Paris by then.
