simple get rid of useless martial and get his ridiculous £250,000 a week Off the books. Ronaldo would score more goals in 2 seasons for us than martial has scored in his Whole united career. Cavani is great but can be injury prone.
Cristiano Ronaldo | Signs for United! Fcuk City
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

We will give contracts to half of those and then send them out on loan.
20m from above lot is max I think we will get at the end of their manutd career.
That's.... quite optimistic.
I'd sell Martial then use that money and wages to get Haaland next summer. Signing Ronaldo back and our wages budget simply won't be able to afford Haaland. We're not those oil clubs.
Some of those figures are batshit insane. The idea of a team paying over 20m for the likes of Andreas or Bailly
If Chong has a brilliant loan this summer we might get an ok figure for him next summer. But chances are we'll randomly keep hold of him instead.

When you acquire a player like that it's normal to have expectations, however I think he neither succeeded nor failed, because he did deliver, 2x player of the year, top scorer , people like to say he only scores goals but goals win you games, and he won a ton of points for them. If he won them the cl then it wouldn't just be a success, he'd be the undisputable GOAT.
If his time in Juventus is considered a failure, Messi at Barca in past 6 years is also failure, according to your standard.
We should just do a swap with Juve.
Lingard, Bailey, Pereira, Jones for Ronaldos right foot.

You guys aren't looking at the bright side here. We have no chance of winning the league. At least Ronaldo to City all but seals Liverpool not winning another league title for the foreseeable future. City isn't our real rivals, they are just an oil team.
It’s what ronaldo shouts during his goal celebration
Don’t read blue moon 
Can anybody tell us why we are not even making an attempt to try sign him? I just Can't believe we'll let Cithe have him.
Sorry have to disagree. It was really fecking pedantic
Well according to Portugese Media Ronaldo called Sir Alex and wanted to return but the Glazers said No
big moves for cristiano and mbappe from city and real could be a blessing in disguise - there would be noone left competing for haaland and he will be the star of the show for the next 10 years. hope fletcher is preparing the powerpoint slides allready
The losses to Ajax, Lyon, and Porto in his time there were definitely not part of the plan. He then lost the league in his 3rd season with barely making the top 4. His time with Juve has been a massive failure, it's one of the reasons he wants to bail out now.
Stinks of desperation from City.
Half a million quid a week for a 36 year old.
Does he fit a pep philosophy? Not a chance !

His massive wages I think. I know our wages budget is pretty fecked up but signing him back would only make the matter much worse.
If we had spent the full summer chasing one striker, even turning down Messi, then tried to buy a 37 year old Ronaldo on a 2 year contract, i dont even want to know the reaction here. Thered be excitement of course but overall it would be called a panic buy with no planning
Nothing conservative about getting 25m for Pereira.
Confirmation from Fabrizio that he did come to us first!

There is nothing in that suggest he came to us first.
His agent is shopping him around and there are only so many clubs who can pay his 500k p/w salary.
What’s more worrying is RAWK seems to be a voice of reasonDon’t read blue moon
What suggests he didn’t? It’s more logical that’s what happened than anything else.

You want both Mbappe and Cr7?
Too early in the day to be playing FM mate.
This is not like RVP went to United, during the peak of his powers.
Come on lads, this is Ronaldo collecting his retirement money and taking the easy ride for the title.
Pretty much like Lampard to Citteh.

Harsh to call someone in their mid 30’s a massive failure for not winning the champions league for a team that is pretty meh (especially when he bangs in 30 goals). I know people will say that’s why they signed Ronaldo, well that was Juve’s own stupid fault.
I think Ronaldo (and Messi) any more UCL’s is a bonus and not really an expectation anymore.

Why on earth did we reject a proposal from Inter Milan for Martial who's on enormous wage, when this has been made known to us, I just don't understand this club.
It seems to me people downplaying this move either don't care because they stopped liking Ronaldo years ago, fair enough. Or they like Ronaldo so much and are trying to justify it to themselves so they can still act like giddy school girls over him.
That may be his justification when asked. Since you did not want him, he had no other option
To be fair Juventus has this stupid obsession of signing old strikers for massive amount of money. Weird bunch.
70 odd million to Higuain,
100 odd million to Ronaldo.
Stupid.
I do think our strategy of strikers will keep Cavani / Greenwood / Martial in that position this season and try to get Haaland next season with rediculous money. Cavani will not demand a "MUST' startup strikers position but Ronaldo will, no matter what form of him.
Also, aged Ronaldo with mega salary will repeat Sanchez's case. Maybe SAF will but i don't think Ole will do that.
Strange signing if he ends up at city. He will score goals no doubt but coming to the EPL at 36 will he be able to cope with pace and physicality of it? Or will he be nursing injuries and niggles all the time because of it?
And he is very much not a Pep player, he is an individual with a big ego who doesn't play to much of a structure or with discipline he kind of does his own thing on the pitch.

he left United 12 years ago calm down.
personally it would've properly hurt if he left us straight to City.
but will he tarnish his legacy? 100% no question

Juve didn't lose to any team better than them on paper in the last 3 years, they definitely failed there and he was awful in the games against Porto. They lost the league last season and finished behind Atalanta, that was mostly due to Pirlo but it's a failure nonetheless.
Ronaldo is one player who brought my late grandfather great joy on his last days. ‘Best United player since George Best,’ he would repeteadly say. Him moving to City feels like a massive betrayal personally.
Juve have suffered overall though. Not just due to Ronaldo obviously.It's hilarious reading through this thread and seeing people make claims that Ronaldo is "past it" or "finished" or "won't improve City"
His goal return in the past two seasons is 36 and 37.
But yeah, he's shot to bits!
But you must understand the difference between personal stats and team dynamics.
