Haven't stopped smiling since.What a day to remember. A year later you'll still be able to tell this story.
It's football. It's a sport, ultimately emotions are a much bigger part of it than you seem to realise.It boggles my mind that a multi million dollar company decides to spend money based on emotions.
I’m ready for your posts mate. Chomping at the bit for them actually.Yes! Get in!

Football isn't an exact science. This move adds a lot of value to the team and the club.It boggles my mind that a multi million dollar company decides to spend money based on emotions.
And it made $280m out of it before he even signed.It boggles my mind that a multi million dollar company decides to spend money based on emotions.
Woodward actually did the deals. Rio confirmed. Woodwood leaves end of the calendar yearFirst transfer window without Woodward in charge: Sancho, Varane and CR7. Not bad
Jesus Christ. We've spent more on guys that can't even get into our starting eleven. Doubt signing the goat is purely out of emotion. And even if it was. This is football. And football is all about emotion. So hardly something that boggles the mind?It boggles my mind that a multi million dollar company decides to spend money based on emotions.
Hopefully you get about 20-30 reasons why by the end of this season.It boggles my mind that a multi million dollar company decides to spend money based on emotions.
Adding on a few more details (not a copy-paste) from above posts . They essentially say that Ronaldo to City was virtually imminent yesterday.. before Chief strategist Fergie and Co. finally "woke up" and went about a last ditch hijacking in the final 24 hours.
Glazers also saw it as a Brady - Tampa move so was given the green light.
It was an avalanche of affection that worked. It is believed Ronaldo had given his word to United by 10.30am that morning, before Ole's presser. Current squad are reportedly ecstatic to see him join!
Hard to make decisions without emotions tbfIt boggles my mind that a multi million dollar company decides to spend money based on emotions.
The comparison to Brady needs to stop
The impact this signing will have on the squad alone is priceless, not to mention the commercial aspects.Football isn't an exact science. This move adds a lot of value to the team and the club.
Yeah, but when it’s an employee who brings as much as Ronaldo on so many levels it also makes massive sense.It boggles my mind that a multi million dollar company decides to spend money based on emotions.
It's surreal isn't it? The whole window was... Even Varane still feels strange. It's beautifulThe impact this signing will have on the squad alone is priceless, not to mention the commercial aspects.
I still can't quite believe it's happened. I'm half expecting a tweet informing us it's fallen through and he's off to City.
'Ingsy' is a better fit than 'Ronaldoy' to be fair.Tweet

Nah. Probably waiting for Ronaldo to officially rubber stamp it, make his first official statement etc;Does anyone think there’s anything to read in the current squad reactions via social media so far? I haven’t seen a reaction from notably Pogba.
I’m inclined to think no reaction is a sign of not being too happy or about to leave.
Detailed story in Athletic saying Ole talked to inner circle and decided we had to move, and called Woodward who agreed immediately.Without the ex players we would still be monitoring the situation. Rio had to be the middle man to woodward it seems
- Fergie played a "major role" in the last 24 hours both calling Ronaldo and Mendes to sell them on United, as well as members of the United board
*36 for Juventus last season.29 goals last season - more of the same please Cristiano!
no. As Rio rightly put, Ronaldo off the field is going to be as valuable to the club as he is on the field. What players like Mason, Sancho and Rashy are about to learn from will elevate them to another level in terms of professionalism, dedication, hard work etc. If he was like Higuan as an example, there's no way we sign him, but he's up there in terms of GOAT and he's not shown any evidence of falling Sanchez way. His finishing, movement and heading ability are things that will extend his career far beyond most players.'Ingsy' is a better fit than 'Ronaldoy' to be fair.
Thinking about, we may have made a big mistake here.
Rashford seems chuffed and I think Bruno posted a cartoon of him as a little boy idolizing Ronaldo. I reckon Pogba is probably pretty pleased to be playing with Cristiano Ronaldo.Does anyone think there’s anything to read in the current squad reactions via social media so far?
