Cristiano Ronaldo

[Gundog’s Gundog]

Delap is the potentially unpolished diamond.

Ronaldo is Ronaldo, potentially the greatest stopgap signing ever. At a bargain price.

People may soon start to realise that signing Ronaldo could well increase our chances of signing Erling Haaland next season...

City seem to finally be getting the hang of this 'marquee signing' lark. Long may it last!

That was my next question. What does ronaldo do to the dressing room dynamic and how does he impact future strikers coming. Where does he even play now - right up top ?

 

[thereWasATime]

I meant positive news as in pulling out of Kane deal and mendy arrest ..

ohh lol, my bad fellow blue I read that wrong :)

Ronaldo-Delap-Kayky front 3 v Wycombe let’s gooooo!

This might tip the tramps at ole Trafford over the edge. I see a future of pitch invasions, m&s carrier bags and zebra pants. Cunts.

All you miserable gits that just want to come on here and spout "It's not going to Happen! Der!!, do us a fucking favour and sod off and stfu. Let the rest of us have fun and hope.

If for some reason it doesn't happen you can break your arms patting yourselves on the back about how smart you are.

I'm probably after the fact here, but calling @applecentral to the thread.

Hang on I just have to pop into the local and put some diesel in my Time Machine. Then we are good to go.

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..

Mbappe is off to Madrid? I read they made an offer but it was rejected?

Look whatever happens at least we've been able to read things like this:

I am waiting for the photoshop skills of someone here to do a blue 'Welcome to Manchester' with the wink. If only for shits and giggles!

 

[not my fault!]

Hate to be that guy but has is it all but confirmed that he's joining? Few hours ago it was 'we don't want to pay a fee' so now we do want to pay a fee?

We drew PSG in the CL group… Those two games alone will bring in the money to pay the £25m they want! It’s a no brainer

He should pick up a dressing room that is probably a little flat after the CL final and hopefully drag them to another, like he has done for over a decade. His mentality and attitude seems pretty unmatched, if even 50% of that rubs off on the likes of Grealish and even people like KDB we could see something special.

I don't see any strikers on the horizon and if a superstar comes out of nowhere, they are likely a young lad who idolizes either Messi or Ronaldo. Easy to get them on board if you say you have Ronaldo as your teammate for 12mths.

Mbappe is off to Madrid? I read they made an offer but it was rejected?

They made a second offer 180m

Spot the lurking Rag.

Viva Ronaldo!

Welcome to Manchester.

Help us out mate. With my eyes and thus tiny phone it just looks like a joy division album cover.

In a team he doesn't quite fit in a notch or two below this City team. We've got two years of him playing in the box, with the energy and pressing of Foden and Jesus in a front three alongside him, and the passing of Grealish and Kev slightly deeper. With Mahrez and Sterling to come off the bench.

Holy moly will this be fun

 

[Claytop]

Appreciate his knowledge of things that I could never understand but Stefan seems a pretty negative/pessimistic guy! Comparing signing Ronaldo to when we signed Andy Cole or Weah…

Yes I was pretty cool on signing Ronaldo but any move which upsets the United fans so much can't be all bad.

 

[Gobshiight]

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 ?

How is a guy who scored 60 league goals in the last two seasons not a good back up to the Kane deal falling through

 

[samuelyeboah]

I'm coming round to the fact that this might just work.

I've been dead against it but I know that he'll shoot me down with stats off the chart for us.
I remember laughing when the red mardarses signed ibrahimovic thinking fuck me he's past it. For that first year he owned it.

If we get one year out of Ronaldo and he bangs in 30 odd goals and we win the league again and get to the champions league final again then we've pulled a rabbit out the hat.

He's a poser and a bighead but for the next two years he's going to be our poser and bighead.

Let's fuckin have it.

thing is, ibra was them trying to make a nonsensical "marquee" signing to a squad that had very deep issues and needed a massive overhaul. a typical united signing.

this isn't that. he is *exactly* what we need in an already incredible squad.

Do you reckon when Ron blows his load he screams out SIIUUUU!!??

Suck It Up?
