I did to be honest. I thought he'd be a good 12 month signing, as did Txiki and a few others, truth be told.
In hindsight, I'm glad we didn't get him, obviously!
Let's face it, he wasn't awful in his first season back at the rags. Indeed, his goals probably kept them out of a relegation battle.
His decline this season has a lot more to do with his bruised ego than his ability. Messi would probably have had the same problem if he'd come to the PL. No one player can be bigger than the club.
He'd make a good Piñata. When I heard he'd built a museum for his hometown and community, I thought " good on him, nice gesture". When I realised it was a museum about Ronaldo I thought " What a twat". He joined United in a vain effort to surpass Messi's CL goals tally. Messi, a man who goes about his business saying very little, just producing the goods and holding a lifelong ambition of delivering the World Cup for his teammates and his country. Ronaldo has always been about individual goals, which maybe admirable for some. I think he's a twat.
