Football wise signing Ronaldo is mere image but...

Business wise very canny.

Apparently the "value" of Un*ted on the NY stock exchange has rocketed skywards on the news of him signing.

For their owners that is all that matters... sod the crap football.

Means nothing unless the shares are sold and the money wont go to the club Unlike Mansour selling a stake to Silverlake with the proceeds reinvested into the CFG

Sanchez all over again

It’s like when Paul Scholes came out of retirement….

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Sanchez all over again

Regardless of how this works out for them, that is an embarrassing way to conduct a transfer policy.

Said earlier that the Ronaldo thing smacks of a united ploy. It's paramount to that club to make it seem that every transfer is a personal victory against us. But it worked pretty well with Fred, Maguire the liar and The World's Most Expensive Hair Cut On Legs.

They're a great team, on paper. But still led by a puppet squirming as Fergie lubes him up, and a real prima donna player culture. They'll still needs var, pens and snookers to stand a chance.

They will get their customary soft VAR and penalty decisions, as well as snookers, friendly refs and very, very late goals but they still won’t finish above us.

For the three forward positions they play with they now have 10 players;

Ronaldo, Cavani, Rashford, Greenwood, Sancho, James, Diallo, Lingard, Mata and Martial.

Even if they shift a few, signing Ronaldo has only made it worse, as they will likely have to play him almost every game to justify buying him and to get any value out of his huge wages.

Bizarre that Ronaldo has gone back there, does he know who they have as a manager and has he seen the football they play. He is in for a shock if not.

They were looking to loan out Diallo but he's now injured and therefore the loans called off, so instead of a reduced wage bill it remains the same and as you say another player wanting a spot.

“As a Saints fan, I don't begrudge a player like Theo Walcott leaving us to make his name at a much bigger club, then returning in the twilight of his career to give a nostalgic leg-up to the tinpot little outfit that gave him his first break.

In fact, it reminds me of Ronaldo”

Great work by us, then.

Effectively they appear to be falling for the rope a dope each and every time............
