We were much less secure in possession away at Newcastle and Brighton at the end of last season. It’s much easier to retain the ball when the defender sits back and doesn’t have the crowd yelling at him.

Only if you believe Sam Lee’s version of events. I do not recall, at any time, anyone from City saying we were interested in Ronaldo. It was all press conjecture.
In that case, City should have killed it dead. They didn't. Why?!

I honestly don’t know but we never do. Pep could have killed it in his press conference but instead chose to play word games.In that case, City should have killed it dead. They didn't. Why?!

Imagine if clubs denied every transfer rumour they were embroiled in!In that case, City should have killed it dead. They didn't. Why?!
my take on this was that we were told he was available and theoretically interested until the wages got mentioned. I bet Kev, and maybe Raz and grealish, have new signing pay equivalency/rise clauses

This. I can’t believe people don’t understand this.. last season was like a season played competitively behind closed doors. Technical players can do their thing without added pressure.. home advantage is a real thing you know.. over 120 years of professional football has taught us that. Every fixture was based purely on the football played without the crowd influencing proceedings….

There is no way you could possibly know what. The only words out of the Club were this afternoon when they said we were not interested in signing him.Grow up man, of course we were fucking interested.

Because for some reason our owners and the people who work for them have decided to keep quiet and not to engage with the press during transfers.
If City weren't in for Ronaldo, City could have killed the media bullsh*t dead starightaway. They didn't. Which means City were in for Ronaldo. But United, via, Mendes, via Ronaldo, all f*cked City over.
One more thing. We must have known Ronaldo's wage demands. If the rumour is true and United are paying £400k+, where did City pitch Ronaldo's wages at? We have repeatedly stated we will never break our work structure.(Sanchez) United know this. In that case, why go after Ronaldo along with his wages and contract terms?
