Best post of the thread. It ain't happening IMO.

If it's true that Real Madrid made the 80million back they spent on him in the first year from shirt sales and so on then FFP would not be a problem at all.

Not trying to be a buzzkill here... but comparing Real Madrid's shirt sales to City's is a bit.... meh?

The thing with Ronaldo is he has a worldwide following anyway so people would buy a MCFC shirt even if they weren't already fans. Coupled with our expanding global image I would expect shirt sales to double or even triple if we signed him..

God knows I'd buy a few

Beat me too it, While FFP will be hitting, if it's a marquee signing that will help increase revenue to a massive extent then its viable and could be justified to Uefa ( they probably wouldn't listen mind you )

If its going to happen it's got to be this summer as we're still only in the monitoring stage. If he came and made back his fee in 1 year like at real ( according to the other post, I dont know if thats true ) then it could actually go some way to alleviate FFP by the time it truly kicks in.

However, I dont want him to be honest. he's just got a face you want to slap!, although his goals and skill would be welcome thats for sure.

Edit: Im torn by this, I dislike him, he comes across as a smug shit, he has face I just want to slap, but the thought of him in a city shirt is starting to thrill me. I cant see it happening though so it's not an issue.
 
Remember the transfer fee ammortized over length of contract, so say he signs a four year deal we only need £20m annual revenue growth to cover the fee.

Then there's the wages though...

Not gonna happen imo
 
I hope he is not coming.

Instead of paying him the reported 400,000 Pound Per week, I would rather sign 3 POTENTIAL world class players ( Hazard, Martinez, & someone else) instead.

I'd rather have the guy who will guarantee us atleast 30+ goals a season.
If we had him this season we would have this league won already.

We don't know that, all though it's not very unlikely.
The thing is though, if he gets an injury... we're fucked. If we could get Hazard, Martinez and let's say Higuain for the same amount Ronaldo would cost us, I'd easily choose the three and not the one.
