Called myself Falcao as at the time I was genuinely buzzing when we got him, unfortunately he was still not over his crucial ligament injury. He reminds me of Marcelo Salas who we almost got back in the 90’s and was a class striker. As you know with Aguero there’s something special about a pure South American number 9.
Yeah South American forwards have really worked a treat for the rags in the past such as Alexis Sanchez, Diego Forlan, Falcao, Angel Di Maria...Oh and Carlos Tevez who joined us and held up an R.I.P. FERGIE sign!
You'll probably come back with "Cavani"...He can score as many as he wants at the end of the day he has 0 trophies to show for it with your lot.
 
Yeah can see that. Ronaldo and Messi have always been best mates. It’s inevitable they’d want to play together. That bromance had to end in playing together.

So out of the two, who gets to be top dog as they battle for the Balon whatever, or be top scorer, or Ronaldo is having a bad game, you reckon he will want to get hooked off for Messi, or Messi wants Ronaldo bellowing ‘SUII’ or whatever the fuck it is, in his ear every game?

Ronaldo has to beat Messi and vice versa . Each has to carry their team to ultimate victory and they can't do that if they are on the same side. Neither is the sharing type.
 
I’m surprised that so many people are in favour of him coming, smacks of desperation or wanting to annoy rags.

Knowing that we were in desperate need of a striker didn’t we have a better back up plan in the event that Kane / Haaland wouldn’t come than a fading galactico ?

Any 5 yr old could pick Kane or Ronaldo as transfer targets - where’s the scouting, the in depth knowledge of the market, where’s the hidden gem or unpolished diamond ?
If we aren’t in for one of the two best players of their generation for £21m/€25m, who is willing to take a pay cut to come here, who seemingly has asked his agent to sort out coming to this club, when we need a striker not on a long term deal and he’s a striker who can give us a short term deal; we are fucking stupid!

The scouting happened when we got Delap into our academy and just gave him a new contract to 2026.
 
Have you heard anything more concrete whether it is actually City he’s coming to at your end?

Nothing concrete regarding City, what's almost certain by now is that he won't stay here at Juve. Romeo Agresti, who's not that bad as far as transfer journos go, teased at City in his posts, but there's nothing concrete right now. I personally think they're just waiting for someone to make an official offer at this point.

Yeah, pretty much.

I’m not coming back with anything. Just because some may not have worked out at United doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate them elsewhere! Di Maria and Sanchez aren’t pure strikers. Tevez wasn’t really either at United.
 
We are replacing our best striker ever, our top goal scorer. Forgive them for wanting to do it properly rather than buying a Samaras. We can’t rely on Jesus, delap and an unpolished diamond. Would be suicide
I want us to do it properly. With our vast network of scouts on several continents the best we can come up with is a fading 36 yr old who comes with huge baggage ? Where’s the joined up thinking ?

Not sure this is fair at all.

1/ Gabriel Jesus was this buy, they planned for Aguero's succession years ago. He starts for Brazil.

2/ where indeed? The fact is there isn't a candidate good enough out there. Which of our rivals is pulling uncut gems you've never heard of out of the bag? PSG = Messi, Real Madrid = Mbappe, Rags = Cavani, Chelsea = Lukaku.

3/ Remember these are the same people who brought you Ruben Dias, Zinchenko and have masterfully developed Foden.
