Cristiano Ronaldo | Signs for United! Fcuk City

[Leethal]

Any outlay will be made back commercially ten fold.

Stop worrying about the financial aspect; we will probably turn a profit just off marketing him.

 

[Ixion]

I don't like him but I did not like the idea of him disrespecting us and Fergie by going to City and them winning the league with him so I'd rather dislike him in a United shirt. I thought it was the right call to focus on the development of our young forwards but it is what it is, him going to City would have been a massive slap in the face.

Sssssiiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

[The Brown Bull]

Ronaldo being better than Roy Keane? Uhh this one?

Balls. Ronaldo was a better goal scorer and winger than Keane. Keane was better at everything else.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Even if he's a million years old, Ronaldo playing for United again is awesome. And I don't even like Ronaldo.

 

[IhabX7]

Nostalgia pouring in right now.. @IhabX7 still around? I loved the compilations he made around 08

I will reupload them bastards if we get him back. What a turnaround this is..

 

[Giggs86]

Wait what? Last I heard he was considering City? What's going on? Is there an actual chance of him signing for us? Is this really happening?

 

[SirMonteyne]

Buying him at this phase seems wrong, but who cares I'm awfully happy.

Nobodies getting a bit of work done today

I made one attempt to keep my screen from auto locking but my laptop has now just been discarded and anything that needs doing will be Tuesday's problem. This sort of thing makes me so glad to be working from home.

 

[lex talionis]

Do those who are skeptical of the wisdom of this move — and let’s be clear, it’s always right to ask questions — seriously doubt that Ronaldo is a significantly superior attacking force today than anyone else on our squad? The PL?

 

[Erics_Collar]

Omg imagine the unveiling video. fecking solid gold piano.

 

[pratyush_utd]

Ole pull

 

[Devil81]

Rio has posted a Instagram post that says it all........

Viva Ronaldo

The "big issue" being that Ronaldo told City and the fraud (bald) to feck off when he heard we were interested?

WTF HAPPENED!!! JUST GOT FREE FROM WORK. WHAT HAVE I FECKING MISSED!

 

[RedTiger]

feck sake. i’ve spent the last 15 hours making a ronaldo effigy out of rat parts and cat shit.

So similar to his current statues.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

I always knew he was going to end his career with us. He's after that United Legend status.

 

[kentafuji]

So how many texts do you think Ronaldo woke up to this morning from the likes of Rio, Rooney, Evra etc telling him not to go to City

 

[Deery]

Seems like Ronaldo turned City down by what Pep is saying..

 

[Red Shorts]

I can’t help but feel like In 2 seasons we will look back and think of this as another expensive player we probably need to get off our books before we can free up cash and advance, and we mostly moved because city were interested. They end up looking smarter by adding 3 up and comers for the same wages. Only 1 needs to come good.

Hey I hope ronaldo leads us to the league and CL but like Juve and Portugal recently I can just see a lot of parked busses and frustrated prima donna on the biggest money ever earned in the PL.

Thats the spirit!

 

[reelworld]

I think the same. It basically means we have to win now and I'm not confident that will happen, I had hoped we would continue to build a team properly (maybe a midfielder and a striker next summer while looking at potential keepers) but instead this is now throwing everything at winning in the short term.

You can have Ronaldo now and still trying to get Haaland next season. He apparently willing to take a wage cut to quit Juventus, and he's not gonna cost much.
And lets face it, 36 years old Ronaldo is still leagues better than what Martial can offer. This is a no brainer

 

[Galactic]

Imagine how inspired our youngsters will be. Money can’t buy that. We may also attract big names who “just want to share the dressing room” with him

 

[RDCR07]

WTF HAPPENED!!! JUST GOT FREE FROM WORK. WHAT HAVE I FECKING MISSED!

Everything. The prodigal son returns!

 

[JoaquinJoaquin]

Imagine an attack of CR7, Bruno, Pogba, Sancho, Rashford and Greenwood.

And then you have Matic and Fred behind them

All upper body, no legs

 

[largelyworried]

It's odd, before he went to Juve I was dead against re-signing Ronaldo. At the time I thought that he would just be a distraction from the rebuild that we needed. Now, if anything, Ronaldo is less of a player than he was three years ago, and yet I think this would be a good signing. Now we're in a very different place. He's a luxury signing still, but one that we can incorporate because so much of our rebuild has almost been completed.

Of course, I'd still prefer a proper midfield solution. But such is the transfer market, sometimes things come at you in slightly the wrong order.

 

[Hanky panky]

Skybet offers 1/4 for Ronaldo to United. Paddypower only 1/18. He is coming home. Btw, Bluemoon is funny to read currently.

 

[JTW95]

How can people not want this to happen? Would people would rather see Martial up front.

Don't care that he's 36 he still scored 29 goals for Juventus. More than anyone in our team has managed. He's going to improve us and City will will have egg on their face. If we sign him it's a huge win!

 

[Ali Dia]

I agree. We've been burned on Sanchez and to a lesser extent Falcao and should have learned our lesson.

But it's Ronaldo.

RONALDO.

Emotions are destined to get the better of us.

It’s true. My 9 year old nephew is dancing around the house here all afternoon.
I feel bad. He came into me at about 11 this morning and goes I hear Ronaldo is going to United and I told him naaah he was on the way to city and just cause you like a player doesn’t mean United can sign them all. Little fella was right after all!

 

[SamVimes]

Have we learned nothing as a club?

This is silly IMO. I'm happy we get Ronaldo since I always want him or Kane as our no 9 if we are signing no 9 this season but that means Cavani's extension contract was pointless.

No, Cavani will be needed, we play 50 to 60 games a season.
Funny how many people are complaining about City’s depth while thinking we need only a good player per position.

The info coming out is its a 2year contract. So, dont have to worry about offloading him at the end of it.

biggest orgy in redcafe to date, CR7 is coming back home!!!!!!

 

[Coops73]

I take a look at my phone at work a couple of hours ago, said to a mate “it’ll kill me to see Ronaldo in a city shirt” I get home, come on here and all hell has broken lose.

If this happens…football, bloody hell.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Scoring against them is worth more
