Cristiano Ronaldo

[birchwoodgingerste]

I'm not a betting man, but reports out of Italy are saying Ronaldo has cleared out his locker in a bid to force through his move.

HOWEVER, reports are creeping through that if Mbappé leaves PSG as expected, that's where Ronaldo will go. This makes more sense than him coming to City.

Gutted, but I've got a feeling this is what'll happen... :-(

Rooney just said the same on ssn

Do we need to sell a player to sign ronaldo? Are foreign spots filled?

Nope, because Mendy's toast. Be shocked if his contract isn't terminated and he sure as fuck isn't going to be registered in any squads.

Such a stupid boy.

Heya guys, as expected your thread about him is already going fast; ours in 2018 reached the 2000 pages if I recall correctly, still one of the most exciting transfers I actively followed.

As things stand I can't wait for him to leave, wherever he ends up, and not because he's a bad player nor because he's acted in a bad way. He's an excellent professional, as you all know. It's just that our team, especially with Allegri, is much more balanced when he's not playing, even if he obviously does provide one more serious threat upfront.

But it's just our own very particular situation in which we can't find the best use for him and I think the balance of the overall performance of the team is worth more than having him up there. Also it will be something of a financial relief not having to pay his wages.

But yeah it's mostly for our formation and team fitness; we're obviously happy to have had him here and he carried us through a bunch of matches, sometimes he looked like the only pro player on the pitch and I even felt frustrated in his stead. I'm just sorry we couldn't really use him to the best of his potential, and that's probably a regret many Juve fans share, but I think we all agree that now is the right time for us to part with him.

How do you think he'll do as the striker in a 4-3-3? That's typically how we play.

Mate this stuff is hundreds of pages back in the thread, that news broke hours ago. A PSG senior exec has already ruled it out.

If he was signing for his last pay day he’d be asking for more wages not cutting his current wage by 50%. He’s openly said he doesn’t need the money anymore and wants to win things still. If he wanted a pay day he’d be going to China or Quatar etc. But agree, I have some reservations too but not due to his wages.

I expressed my reasons for reservations 100’s of pages back. Seems like years ago.
But if half of what we are hearing is true, regarding wages, and who we may keep as well if he comes, then I am increasingly thinking that those on here that were saying we should have had a plan B for the Kane deal, are looking at it now.
This all seems to me like it has been there in the background for quite a while and that City were well aware of the huge repercussions and shockwaves it would send out in the football community at large and not least among its own supporters.

I think we had a lot invested in the Kane transfer and not least our word to Harry perhaps.
But, we always had a line in the sand regarding to what his worth was and I’m inclined to trust that our management team are quite diligent and thorough and in fairness we have been doing quite alright with their methods.

I’m inclined to believe this is something that Mendes/City had advanced discussions about while Harry was dithering.

I’m willing to reserve judgement on this Ronaldo bloke, if City deem him worth a punt.

Beer and then some more beer.
It helps me.

Or four. Incidentally when writing numbers it is tradition to spell them up to ten and numericalisate them thereafter.

It's because after ten the numbers require more letters (.., nine, ten, eleven, twelve,..). Around here we break after twelve for the same reason.

Source re creeping through?

This is going to cause some serious grief.

What do you think the reaction will be at away grounds around the country? They will boo him wont they, but I don't think it will be hate. It will be a madness.

He's always seemed the type to be spurred on by booing

It will be outrageous if this happens, in a good way. He is one of best players in history easily. He lives and breaths it and to be honest I've never felt any bitterness towards him especially after watching documentaries about him. Even at 36 he will give us a new dimension and he will give the other players so much confidence. CR7 at City jeeeez its mental. Praying it happens now
