Cristiano Ronaldo

[Craig]

tevez was 25 and easily citys best player for 2 years. he played on loan (sort of) for man united for 2 years.

we shouldnt be targeting short term solutions, we never have. stick to the plan and recruitment policy that’s served us well.

Enjoy Chelsea winning the league then

Apparently we've offered them 25 mill plus Mendy on loan wages paid by us and we pay his train fare there. Juve will only accept the 25 mill.

This was before the rape allegation.

 

[I'm Blue]

Maybe we’re reluctant to pay a fee because we need a left back now?
Just a thought.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

Brian Close is better still

 

[Rammy Blue]

Surely this is already done, can’t believe we would piss about over a few million. It'll be our usual negotiation….

Juve want £25mil

We offer 0

Juve say £25mil or sod off.

We say ok.

This has gone too far for it to not happen now imo. Ronaldo desperate to leave and strikes me as a man who very rarely doesn't get what he wants. City would look foolish letting it not happen over £25m after missing out on Kane. Juve will just want Ronaldo gone now at this point. And poor Mendes grafting his arse off. Can't be for nothing!

What’s that got to do with anything?

 

[supercity88]

I think the papers and journos will run what we know so far but be tomorrow for more news i reckon

They'll be having a posh tea in Paris and working late I'm sure. Don't go anywhere.

Surely we don’t expect to actually get him for free?

MIBs race to the Alderley Edge home Ronaldo left 12 years ago with piss stained bed sheets proclaiming “Joyn Citeh and yur ded “

Zinc, Cancelo, Laporte, Ake? We don’t need a left back this summer

Feel like it could be a ploy to get Ronaldo to lower his wages also.

We’ve 100m burning a hole in our pocket

 

[citizen_maine]

It was for. Messi so why can we not do. It... From what we've been told personal terms are not the issue

but by many accounts PSG had been speaking to Messi for weeks. We've only just become aware of the availability of this player

We don't want to get a reputation for not being able to get big transfers over the line as well.. with Kane and Ronaldo in the space of a few days we don't want big players afraid to get involved with us next summer

 

[BlueRockape]

Just pay the fukin money.
We will make it back within months

 

[SamTheGuru]

We didn't even know this deal was a possibility 48 hours ago. At least give them another 48 to get the deal done before calling the club out. Think about it - a deal for one of the best players in the world concluded in 48 hours - that's what you're asking for/expecting

I am pretty sure we would have known about it for longer than 48 hours, as I am sure Juventus did not just work out that they need to get the £25m amortisation and £25m salary off this year's books 48 hours ago!

Cannot believe this might not be done because we wont pay up a measely £20/25M transfer fee.
The amount of shite weve bought over the years for stupid fees and the total lack of a proper #9 at the club. nothing short of embarrsssing if we bottle this.

Same price we bought Bony for!

 

[LevyBee76]

will that be it now untill tomo, 8-30 in Europe or could we hear updates till late tonight?

Wouldn't be shocked if there's more that comes out today, this does seem to be moving at some speed
