Cristiano Ronaldo

[Deleted member 77198]

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 ?

Fading? He’s scored 81 goals in his last 90 games.

A fading 36 year old that just bagged 30 goals last year? Yea that will do fine for 2 years

 

[bluenova]

well it makes you wonder funny how things turn out,i wonder what kind of odds that would have been before the draw

1 in 6? It could also have been Juventus, Real Madrid, or Barcelona.

Obviously not quite Messi v Ronaldo, but there was a 2 in 3 chance that there would be some history there.

This is down to trying to sign the best striker in the prem and it sadly falling through. He’s a back up and a lethal one at that. I’d rather that than an unknown who may or may not be good. We have that in Torres already.

Nail on head.

scoring more than Aguero ever did in a season

Never a dull moment being a blue is there?

Love it!

How the fuck will I sleep tonight

Never have I been happier to be on the graveyard shift, I'll be hitting refresh all night - I'll be finished at 7:30UK time, think the booze will be nicely chilled by that time.

 

[Blue back home]

So is this a done deal now? Appreciate its not been announced but my rag mates are livid, they’re shitting it. This feels like the real deal.

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

I think someone alluded to the fact that mendy's fuck up, if found guilty and sacked, will free up a space.

 

[nu774ll]

Genuinely more pleased with this than Kane. Let Delap have minutes as well all season and learn from Ronaldo. For a club with no history we haven’t half had a mad last twenty years!!

Been a mad last 20 hours Tbh, typical city haha

 

[mccity]

CorSport an italian publication first printed it in their newspaper. Everyone laughed at it

Fwiw, I think I read that the idea was proposed as far back as what we saw on page 1 (as you mentioned).

But there's been a new set of developments since whatever happened with Kane, and that's where L'Equipe were first to the mark.

he doesnt even have to be sacked. We could choose just not register him at all.

 

[dobingsdobber]

Lol being a blue is hard going at times typical city never goes away

Correct.I have visions of those twats putting in a bid of 31 million tomorrow,Ronaldo reminding Mendes that he will decide where he goes,and then Sly showing him arriving at the swamp with the piss-can standing with open arms and tears running down his desert-landscape cheeks.

 

[M Gaudino]

You’ve still got Phil Jones
We‘ve signed Cristiano

poor Phil. i feel sorry for the lad, memed to oblivion, cant stay fit and still being mocked in a city chant

 

[jamielowndes]

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.

Away grounds around the country are incapable of articulating a thought without resorting to calling us "oil money fc" and then demanding that their owners spend more in the transfer window.

I couldn't give a shit how they react.

Not being a doom monger but it is strange that mbappe is now off to Madrid and just a day before hand rumours of Ronaldo wanting out of juventus,some have already posted about PSG coming in for him or him heading there,on the other hand some saying he wouldn’t play in the same team as messi,well we thought messi wouldn’t end up at PSG,stranger things have happened,obviously I’d like to see him at City we could do with a bit of positive news at the moment..

 

[hello]

I hate him and have for years. My only pleasure here is seeing how much rags seems to be hating this becoming more than a possibility. That part will probably make it feel ok. Not sure how I can cheer if he scores for us. Am prepared to give it a try but it’s gonna be weird af if it happens.

If it’s a 2 year deal you will probably get 70 attempts at it, my 45-50 you should be ok

 

[lazerblue]

Fuck it, I'm gonna get me head down and hope I don't wake up to the nightmare that we've been had over, I've got a bad feeling we're being had

 

[Gumzy97]

Those stats fucking hell.
