Cristiano Ronaldo

[lazerblue]

Never mind, Kayky arrives in January

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

The stench of bullshit wafting in from this years open transfer window is truly overpowering.

 

[ManCitizens.]

How many more wingers and forwards do the Rags need?

Seriously, where is he going to play?

Where is Grealish going to play for us?

 

[Pollocks OG]

Just a thought, is there another spin on this that Pep didn't want Ronaldo and execs have gone in for him over his head? ie the comments about Ronaldo playing wherever he wants to play. Just another angle perhaps.

For the record, I'm not reading anything into either Ole's or Peps presser. Just enjoying the absolute meltdown on here.

 

[kdbrise]

If City are relaxed about bringing him in and United are only doing it to effectively stop us then that shows the difference between us and them.

Going to be some back tracking from that lot though. Not to mention pigs head orders being cancelled and shirts wishing they hadn't been burnt.

I'm afraid it won't be painted like that by the media, we would be seen as losing the bid to the scum. Fingers crossed we still got this and that was mind games by Ole.

 

[Cityinmud]

Would be pretty embarrassing to lose a one horse race tbf.

No. They will probably offer him more wages. We are not willing to do that for 36 year old. If he wants to join for sporting reason he is welcome. If it's MONEY he will sign for united

 

[Tugay One Cup]

“CR7” fanboys starting to get upset yet?

See so many people on here calling United fans Rags, but begging and preying for Ronaldo to sign!

He’s openly said he’s a United fan……he’s a rag!

"But he'd be our rag."

 

[supercity88]

Pep came across as managing expectation, whilst also distancing the club from any breakdown of a deal.

Shifting the onus on to the player deciding, gave us all we needed to know.

"It won't be our fault" - it smacks of damage limitation and at least knowing United have made a counter offer of some description.

It's more likely he doesn't expect it to go our way.

It was surely always going to go this way... I'm surprised we even bothered speaking to Mendes if United hadn't had their say already. It's a pretty obvious move for Ronaldo and the fallout from coming to City was always going to provoke the rag board into action because that's what they're like. Either City were fooled or they have just played a game to get the rags to pay over the odds for him. I doubt it's the latter!

 

[andyhinch]

This is our pride at stake here, we can't lose this to the scum. Heads should roll if we bottle this, wanting or not wanting him is completely irrelevant now.

The same heads that had to roll because of Harry or do we need new ones ?

 

[kanovic]

In a weird way, it may benefit us next summer if he goes to the rags. We may have a clearer run at Haaland but I'm clutching at straws here..

Haaland is not coming to us. Forget about it.

 

[chaddblue]

Nobody think the rags have to be seen as at least trying to get him,rather than just letting him come to us?
No backlash from the fans etc.

No, because if the rags went for him as a show for their fans and he ended up at City, that would look even worse on them

If they are really in for him they are serious

 

[mattyb]

Most here only wanted him because it seems a good deal and its better than no striker. I personally wanted kane but with that Ronaldo is a good short term back up.

Most people on here are embarrassing mate, honestly begging for us to sign Ronaldo.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

As if we're going to sign Haaland. Not a cat in hell's chance our board can be trusted to even come close to getting that deal over the line.

 

[jrb]

So, instead of closing the deal ASAP, we’ve f*cked about again, allowing the Rags to enter the transfer negotiations.

 

[bluebanana83]

Fuck him.

let’s bring in Erling and get Gio Reyna.

they are blues. Follow in their fathers footsteps.

 

[Dribble]

So watching OGS's presser again, he said ManUre didn't think Ronaldo would leave Juve, but Bruno Fernandes has been speaking to Ron & reiterated that if he ever left Juve, ManUre would "Always be there for him."

But OGS doesn't want to comment on speculation, but he & Ronaldo are close & in touch with each other. \0/

 

[Lancet Fluke]

Is Dusan Vlahovic still available?

 

[kun]

A lot of posters with suspiciously low post counts are loving this thread…

 

[cheekybids]

Then why doesn’t every team do that? Becuase goals win games

we were top scorers last year.

 

[Keeper!]

If this one fails and the window closes with just Grealish, our Chairman is going to look a tad foolish after his end of season address.

I would think he will be fuming at the lack of progress on the striker front.
