Cristiano Ronaldo

[BobKowalski]

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 . . .

Behave. Love baseball. Watching Angels v Orioles right now.

Angels having a mare...

Ronaldo would have had 5 by now

It's in a uefa conference qualifier lol.

I’ve never really understood player negotiations. Why can’t City, Juve and Mendes all meet up in the same City and get an answer by the end of the day. Is Txiki scared of flying?

So we’ve agreed personal terms, didn’t want to make a bid but now we’ve stumped up the cash?
At the risk of also sounding stupid, why is mendes in Paris?

Seems he's meeting City there.

If I had to guess, Paris is a nice midpoint where he can get to wherever he needs to go ASAP.

Can CR7 play left back?

Mendes cutting round Europe by private jet like the Kersal Massive heading to town with a new Daysaver

Do we think peace frog us up to the part where Mendes lands in Paris. Our dreams in tatters because we've been duped and he's off to PSG ?

It’s definitely employment law and also a principle enshrined in our legal system.

Obviously I don‘t know the terms of any City player’s contract but there’s also such a thing as unreasonable contract terms. That would potentially invalidate an unfair term, even though it’s been contracted and signed.

I’m not a lawyer, btw, but pretty sure of my ground.

I'm not a lawyer either, but pretty sure you are bang on.
