You should have kept it to yourself until next March!

Hey @jimharri a forum ain't a forum without a good old topographic error lol.

Now..... about the thread title, is 72 the new 67?

Ronaldo, although being supremely talented, nowadays makes the rest of the team worse.

He may add in 25 goals a season personally, but he takes out 40 goals a season that would be shared by the team, as the team have to play to him, rather than with him.

Rags without PR37
- 2nd place.
- CL qualification.
- 73 goals, +29 goal diff.

Rags with PR37
- 6th place.
- Scraped through to the EL.
- 57 goals, 0 goal diff.
- Captain mutiny and dressing room split.
- 3 different managers.
- Plays when he wants, tantrums when subbed off.
- Desserts off the menu.

Pep apparently said: “If we sign him, I’m off.” Can’t vouch for that but interesting gossip.

I imagine there's pro and anti stance between signing comitte member whether we should sign Ronaldo or not, Pep will always have the highest authority to decide whether we bringing new guy or not but he can always be convinced if new guy can bring good to the team even if his impression is not keen of the idea at first.

But that always moot, even if Pep did reconsider that signing Ronaldo is good thing. The moment rags join the bid it's over for us so eventually we decide to back out from the deal.

Kind of ironic that the rags saved us from making terrible mistake if that scenario above happened without the rags intervention lol.

Well spotted. I've fixed that title now.


And no; it wasn't me who put pg 72 in the first place, before you ask/imply!

I just read that as Captain Muttley!
Mind you, who'd notice the difference?

Wonder if he's actually got any balls and starts using 'Slave' references again?

Should be an amusing break from our transfer threads until the season starts.

As it is they're still in deep shit and reverse gear even with a new CEO & Poundland Pep with players legging it like lemmings.

Existing players fucking off is just what they need to cleanse their toxic dressing room. It’s who comes in that will determine their immediate future.

Far be it for me to cast any such aspersions.... perish the thought, hope your keeping well old pal.

 

[jimharri]

How bad do we really think it is?

People saying we're fecked if Ronaldo leaves have to realise that keeping an unhappy Ronaldo is an even a worse proposition. Let him on ffs.

Challenging next season, apparently. Wow.

You got the old bit right! Yeah, not so bad. Yourself?

They each have their own.

Yeah, but who’s is biggest?
