Ive not mentioned it as its a bit ‘bloke in a pub’ sort of thing.
I do work for a guy who does bits of legal work for City. Hes given me bits of inside info in the past, and whilst the info hasnt always come off, as he told me , “just because we didnt sign a certain player doesnt mean we werent in for him”

anyway .. he told me Ronaldo was a done deal. ‘Ronny’ was ready to sign, fees ageed etc.
but it was very much a club signing and not a pep one and it came down to a strong NO from pep. As strong a no as you can get

Good info, thanks. I am sure Tkixi would not push for a signing where Pep says NO

Fence sitting bugger you are.

I was indifferent myself erring to the side of not wanting him. The only reason i disregarded my own strong gut feeling was Pep has shown he really does know best so if he did want him who am i to stick my armchair manager oar in. I personally think Pep was, at best, "meh" about him coming regardless of how strong the reports of him coming here were. Just seen a post from @marcus and i can very very easily believe that to be the case, he doesn't strike me as a Pep player at all.

Seeing him now i am ofc very happy we stayed away. Every issue/piece of baggage most of us thought he would bring is happening. He is a great poacher certainly but these days a poacher is very outdated. That is largely down to Pep taking English football up a large notch since his arrival. Every team tries to play total football now to an extent. Defending starts at the front and an immobile striker is poison to that ethos, If one player up top is not in sync with the press the whole play is useless.

He would need to be scoring 3 a game at least to counter his total lack of involvement outside of having a shot. His lack of press enables teams to have a firm footing to play out from the back. Add that to his attitude, namely sulking and whining like hell every single time a play does not result in him scoring it makes for a problem, not a solution.

Soon enough the players in awe of him who are cowed by his hand throwing and glaring at the rest of the players will turn into said players thinking "hold on im fucking sick of this, he can fuck off". Bad vibes will be generated if they are not already.

tl;dr Fake Ronaldo causes more issues than he fixes.

I have PM'd a couple of MODs to allow me to triple like this post. One like won't do it credit.

Have to say I didn't want the **** anywhere near our club and for the reasons you have outlined above. It's all about him.

Didn't want the Barcelona dwarf either, although he'd probably have been a better fit for us than Ronaldo.

I have yet to be impressed by Greenwood. I wonder if he was at Watford or somewhere would anyone even notice him.

He is bang average at best. Redcafe would have you believe he is on his way to becoming the greatest striker ever to wear a pair of boots.

The word "deluded" gets used a lot in footy forums these days but i really struggle to find a more accurate term for that place. They have a thread where they are trying to convince themselves our footy is boring and they don't like it nor would they want it at their club. It is one of the funniest threads i have ever seen on any footy forum. It is the pinnacle of invidiousness. Pretty sure some of them are typing their posts in that thread with tears of rage and dejection pouring down their face whilst mumbling to themselves "it's ok, it's ok".
