It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Well we won’t be doing the deal for Ronaldo for the shirts sales, according to the wags on Twitter we have no fans, and the few self respecting blues that do attend the empty stadium on free tickets would never have that cünts name on the shirt.

Being used to get a contract at his former club no doubt

Upset a few?I don't want that preening twat here for many a good reason.

Too many Blues who would want it for nothing more than bragging rights and an influx of fucking Johnny come lately fanboys.

If I was Sergio and saw that deal happen, I would die a little inside.

If Sergio could keep himself fit we wouldn’t be looking for another striker , love him as much as the next man but he was finished 18 months ago.. not kicked a ball for Barca and already out for another 3 months

Told ya it would be something like that.

Mendes always wants double bubble.

I'm scared.

Last summer Dias Otamendi swap both his clients.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

In this story L'Équipe saying City doesn't want to pay fee, and they saying swap could be option Laporte or Bernardo.

They are asking £25m for Ronaldo.

If Bernie is involved, they would owe us £25m!!

Dias and otamendi last seasons turned out well

Of course prefer kane but if levy isn't budging, can see this happening and haaland next year ( I know he prefers Madrid)

I knew mendes would do something like this. He always does when city's deals fall through. He engineered the dias-otamendi swap. Wont be surprised if this happens. At city they love mendes.

If we can’t get Kane I would be all for this .. wouldn’t pay him a penny more than Kev though I know that

If nothing else, I am at least reassured to hear that like you suspected, it's unlikely to be kane or bust, and they are preparing alternatives (even if ronaldo wouldn't be ideal).

Ronaldo is a divisive character no doubt and the sideshow that accompanies him is unfortunately part of the package. He does know where the net is tho and his past achievements suggests a very driven professional player.

It’s late in the window, a stop gap might be the way forward. Try for Kane in January.

You don't add someone like Ronaldo to your wage bill and then sign Kane in January.

We sign Ronaldo, and that's us on the outside looking in for the next two years, because that will be the minimum deal he would get.

United could sit tight until next summer and pick up Kane for less than £100m.
