OKAnd you, a football supporter who knows how City play and who knows that all City players press and nobody gets guaranteed game time, could be naive enough to believe that comical little rumour that Mendes put out to panic United into agreeing a ludicrous salary?
And, even funnier, you’re now stuck with an old boy who’s become so lazy that he’s the football equivalent of a one legged man in an arse kicking competition
And, even funnier than that, you didn’t even learn the lesson from your panic buy of past-it Sanchez
It’s like Groundhog Day - you’re the gift that never stops giving!

Who approved this fool's account?
And yet your bald manager was willing to sanction a £200m deal for the pressing lord Harry Kane. Why do we even have rival fans like this plonker on here? Fair enough if they are being respectful but this.. Just get fecking rid of them.And you, a football supporter who knows how City play and who knows that all City players press and nobody gets guaranteed game time, could be naive enough to believe that comical little rumour that Mendes put out to panic United into agreeing a ludicrous salary?

That’s right in the bulls eye Ali.
Ronaldo was bought to give a short term lift United’s share price, so that the Glazers could dive in and quickly sell a load of shares at an inflated rate before they reverted quickly to their former level.
They’re presently buying an Indian professional cricket team with the proceeds.
It was a scam to enable the Glazers to take £millions out of the club by saddling the club with the problem that is Ronaldo.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Woodward conspired with Mendes to lend credence to the joke of a rumour that City would take the old boy - thus making Ronaldo loving Utd supporters panic into wanting him without ever considering the implications.
Well the implications are now plain for all to see . .you’ve no chance of succeeding with modern high-press football against the better teams and you’re stuck with low-block defending and hoof-ball counter attacks due to having an almost totally static No.9.
With United being controlled by the Glazers, it’s not about the football anymore, it’s all about how they can take money out of the club.
Folk should wake up to this because there are many true United fans, really good solid supporters totally perplexed and trying to fathom why Ronaldo was bought because it doesn’t make any sense from a football perspective.
They should look at who made a bundle of money out of it!
agreed
Yeah, yeah that's it!
Give it to Ronnie till the end of the season!
A 30 goal a season striker doesn’t make sense?
Nope, our Pep Guardiola is my idol of a manager wasn’t willing to pay £200m for the highest scoring forward in the PL and that’s why we didn’t buy him.
It’s a fact, you should check it out.
And Harry Kane actually runs and presses and tracks back and tackles and provides lots of assists for his team mates.
Aside from the above, on a personal note because you chose to attack me personally, I’m here to give my opinion, and you should respond by tackling my opinion if you don’t like it and leave out the abuse - it’s childish, it’s uncalled for and it lowers the standing of the forum.
Grow up eh?
FC Ronnie
He’s been given the 3 games but there’s also a few reports saying if we were to lose the Spurs game they may be forced to act even quicker and sack him there and then. Which in my opinion would be the best scenario if we want a real chance of beating Atalanta and getting something from the City game but who knows what the feck is happening at board level as their incompetence knows no bounds.
Oh come on mate, City were never in for Kane. It was all rumours spread by Levy so he could look strong by turning them down.
It makes perfect sense if you don’t have to sacrifice the productivity of every other player to serve theold boy goals in a plate.
He’s been a truly wonderful player, he’s had an amazing career, he still has a fantastic shot on him and wil score pals for you . . .
But he won’t run and won’t pass so you need to build your team around serving him and the sacrifice exceeds the benefit by a country mile.
Can’t you see that having Ronaldo makes you less of a team than you were without him?
You were already a good side, you came 2nd last season (5 points ahead of Liverpool and 7 ahead of Chelsea) and adding a couple of hardworking midfielders would have transformed you into a very effective unit.
You’d have won pots this season but you bought him instead and you bought him so that the Glazers could take advantage of a temporary boost to your share price.
There was no football sense in it whatsoever mate.
Stop calling him old boy.
The weird thing is the same people are talking about sentimentality fc and jobs for the lads without any hint of irony. Ronaldo who left us in his prime is back in the door for 3 months and he’s holding the dressing room together? Fergie and Ronaldo (who was probably as much a Fergie signing as a Glazer one) are meeting with the players telling them to back the manager Wtf? That’s where the real problem is. Too many cooks, weak ass clueless owners and a horrible player turnover/contract issue.
We should have been shot of these “squad players” and Pogba coming into this season with hungry replacements coming in but they keep giving them new deals instead of investing in more suitable players on the way up and writing off bad transfers. It all trickles down from the top. We are a banter club that’s only about money. At least ole was trying to build something sustainable at same time as peacefully coexisting with those clueless muppets overseeing it and repeatedly foisting all these busted flush players on him, deal after deal. We handed over so much power to the most average players
Player power is always going to be an issue when no manager gets long enough or enough power to move players on. Bailly matic Pogba Lingard etc should be gone if the next manager doesn’t want them either. This is the second manager they’ve basically stopped playing for. Chances of that happening? 0, unfortunately.
Ole was doing fine. All undone in 3 months. Back to Jose ball. Conte is going to sign 3x 28-32 year olds. Get us second, fall out with everyone and feck off. Round and round we go.
No City were in for Kane. There are club statements to prove that but Levy wouldn’t sell Kane for his market price so he stayed with Spurs.Oh come on mate, City were never in for Kane. It was all rumours spread by Levy so he could look strong by turning them down.
Go on then, amaze us all by proving that the silly rumour, that City were in for Ronaldo, wasn’t just another Mendes ruse that was grabbed at hungrily by the Glazers as they could see that they could use it to squeeze some more money out of your club.
If you can’t see that a static old boy like Ronaldo was never going to get a game at City, and that you bought him for nine footballing reasons, then you’re so deeply naive that it’s not even worth discussing the topic with you.
I’ll agree to differ with you on this one.
After all, we have so much in common, you like Ronaldo being at United and, as a City supporter, I’m delighted that Ronaldo’s at Utd.
We’re both very happy with the same thing so why do you get so angry?
Good post. Very easy to see what he brings and what he doesn't bring to this team and his team mates and what his team mates has to bring for him. However people have not realised Ronaldo is a different version to the player who even joined Juventus 2 or 3 years ago.
I value his goals and he would be a great player to be part of the squad- but the whole "build the bloody team to get the best out of a 36 year old" is absolutely nuts. Crazy shit. He has come here and said he will not tolerate being on the bench and he is too good not to play the full 90 mins - which I think is bullshit because he is a very basic poacher now that has the ability to do what is required in the last 15 mins of a game rather than spending the whole 90 doing shit all. The guy left us in his prime and has come back and people are treating him as if he is in his prime.
Everyone has turned to blaming every single other player in our club like a young diamond of a player like Greenwood just because of their protection of the one major difference to us last year.
What a coincidence that the largest media brand and presence is the hero in this story.
Oh come on.
So you don’t know that 36yo is actually old for a Premier League footballer?
We have Fernandinho at 36 and he’s an old boy too!
Haha, me too, I’d already got my rant ready in my head!My blood pressure went up...good thing I scrolled down to see if he's getting any abuse before I replied.
Yeah it must be Ronaldo causing us to be shit in every area of the pitch
Shhhh I admire your courage but you're at the wrong place mate
Tbf that doesn't necessarily mean they planned to play him. Money doesn't mean a thing to them and of course they'd love to slap us right in the face.City tried to sign him in the summer...
100% this. The most I here him get credit for is building a better squad (that he can't use) which I'm pretty sure is just as much of not more down to other people.
Manager in name only at this point.
We are now like 18th worst in the defence this seasonYeah it must be Ronaldo causing us to be shit in every area of the pitch
We were never perfect but we were simply not that bad last season and the only thing that changed? Varane? No. Hardly. Sancho. No. Hardly. Oh...
feck it. City fans can see it. I was talking to him and not you haha.
Agreeing with a city scum who is abusing a player on your team...nice. You all have sunk to a whole new low. Are you going to support city too when we play them?
You're very bold to think you can come in here and disrespect our players. Why don't you piss off to your City hole? Guess you lot are still a bit salty he didn't want anything to do with your club?
Agree. It is fanboi actually.
Actually a very good post.
But from a City fan, I don't know I should smile or cry, probably both
Jesus. Listen to yourself.
No I don't need to ride a player who left in his prime to join some Spanish team and has come at the age of 36 and everyone I still pretending like he is in his bloody prime. We were fecking 2nd and didn't have 18th lowest defensive numbers but oh let's blame every other player except bloody Ronaldo

This is the 4th article/video/stat/data/ whatever you want to call it that says the same thing - Ronaldo's lack of pressing causes us a big problem.
How about telling the city scum to shove his opinion where the sun don't shine?Actually a very good post.
But from a City fan, I don't know I should smile or cry, probably both
He might already be from Manchester tbf to him.
Well yeah, it's for the club and his interests this season goes well. He's at the end of his career so he expects to win things now, he might have next season at most at a decent level. If it was up to him he would had sacked the manager already but as a player he's very professional and is going to try to win every game despite who is the manager.
£300 bet you are over 35, banned from blue moon and came here to wum.I’m here to give my opinion, and you should respond by tackling my opinion if you don’t like it and leave out the abuse - it’s childish, it’s uncalled for and it lowers the standing of the forum.

Are you really that stupid? There is no point in arguing with people like you. If you can seriously say that Ronaldo is the root of ALL our problems then you are obviously not in your right frame of mind.No I don't need to ride a player who left in his prime to join some Spanish team and has come at the age of 36 and everyone I still pretending like he is in his bloody prime.

It's hardly the biggest insult in the world calling him an old boy. He is.
