Cristiano Ronaldo

Potentially the busiest day ever on Bluemoon? Hope @Ric and @mods have had plenty of caffeine this morning and have remembered to put 50p in the Bluemoon electric meter!

Got out of bed and did this into the shower

That gets banned for starters

The amount of crying that Twitter nonces that run "unbiased accounts" are doing is really making this whole experience worthwhile.

Out with some rag fans last night. All adamant there's no way he'd play for us, because he promised GPC he'd never play for another English team. Boiling piss is an understatement, half the cunts would spontaneously combust if this comes off

It's all over the place mate. Nothing concrete, just City aren't the only club being offered Ronaldo, but we're the only ones with the financial muscle, who're in need of a striker who've been mentioned....... That was until Real stepped in with two solid bids for Mbappé, meaning PSG are a striker short, & one signing away from a Hollywood front three of Messi, Ronaldo & Neymar for an additional £30m tops.

Something tells me this has Ronaldo to PSG all over it.... Can you just imagine the global fanfare? PSG will become football's equivalent of the Harlem Globetrotters. :-|

Cool story mate.

I have said from the beginning that I don't want him and that I think he's PSG bound.

But if that happens I'm not going to take the piss out of fellow Blues who genuinely wanted what's best for the club in their eyes and as long as I'm a mod here, nobody else will be doing that either

Football is not just about winning games of football, it is about those first few seconds when you wake up in the morning and you feel that rush of excitement in your blood and those last few moments of the night when head on pillow you close your eyes and are happy. Football is about entertainment and anticipation, it's not just about the 90 minutes. For that reason, I am thrilled that City seem to be signing Ronaldo, and thrilled for all the other City fans, especially the older ones who are still kids at heart. Ronaldo is larger than life. A genuine sporting and football icon.

Thank you Sheikh Mansour, Khaldoon, Txiki, Omar and Ferran for the last ten years.

I think every City fan knows Ronaldo is 36. We are not stupid. He is not going to move like he did when he thrilled the world at Real Madrid but he still scores an unbelievable amount of goals. I know a lot are penalties but still what does that matter? He scored 29 goals in Serie A from 33 games in what was a poor side!!!! And we need a striker. No wonder we dropped the Kane move. He would have cost us over £130m and it would have been a long term deal for a player who will not age that well imo. Ronaldo's cost, if we incur it, will be significant but not eye-wateringly so and genuinely we will make back that back.

I will also be interested in how our club will now be perceived in the media. Some people in the media whose background is football like Lineker, Ferdinand, Neville, Shearer, Wrighty are fair. Those from Fleet St with the exception of some BBC presenters are nasty, cynical and racist. I am not sure quite where we now sit in the world ranking of clubs but no longer can we be ignored and the commercial rationale for battering MCFC because they are the rival of MUFC and LFC now probably fades because we are becoming a more popular club than they are particularly amongst the young. You just cannot if you are a media organisation now survive by baiting MCFC. Sure some will continue to do so because it is ingrained in them but they will be marginalised. If Ronaldo signs for Manchester City, this will be an important symbolic moment for MCFC where we cement ourselves as one of the elite clubs of world football. The transformation is almost complete.

Now back to the news!

With talk of Sterling leaving is he PSG bound not Ronaldo

 

[Blue Maverick]

Just cant see this happening, PSG, United or someone else will hijack this, we get all giddy again and end up with nothing come the 1st September.

Oh shit, I forgot about that. Prepare for an influx of new "fans." It was bad enough when Dzeko played for us. Imagine the whinging from Ronaldo fans if he's ever on the bench.
