Don't do it, man. He's said in interviews before that money isn't everything and he wouldn't go to City. I hope that's still true for him. I know we didn't get his peak years here and he's scored against us since leaving etc etc but I just really don't want to see him in a City shirt.

Not the paper ones?
Definitely looks like that after this latest about Mendes in Paris.
Have Spurs put in a bid yet?
Will be kind of funny to see Pep’s very visible rage and annoyance at seeing Ronaldo not pressing and working super hard for the team.
He’s going to score a shed load of goals for them but he just seems like the opposite sort of player for a Guardiola team.

Why though? During the same years Charlton played a more complete game(often deeper) while putting similar numbers, Charlton greatness isn't just about longevity and consistency, his peak was also very high.

At this point I'm rooting for the Qatari's, the amount of prestige they would get having Ronaldo replacing Mbappe to team up in the same side as Messi with the World Cup coming up there next year would be worth more than the 30m City are reportedly unwilling to give up
Stupid move for him imo. Bigger chance of winning the CL but it wouldn’t be as impressive as doing it with Juve.
The Premier League is no place for a 37 year old. He’d almost be 40 by the time he leaves. It’s a huge risk for the longevity of his career for a small increase in percentage of winning trophies since both the Premier League and the Champions League are very competitive.
Watching him back at the best league in the world with Guardiola coaching would be entertaining at least but if his goal is to increase his legacy as much as possible then I don’t think this is right at all

Have you been living under a rock? It's what he shouts when he does that poser jump and land goal celebration.
Even the fact he let his agent reach out to City makes him a cnut.
It's Mendes who works for Ronaldo and not the other way around.
It's just an easy excuse for fans to point fingers at agents as if they can do anything without their clients' approval. Nobody can force Ronaldo to join City and if he does, it'll be his decision.
Oh right, I knew he did the jump thing but I didn't know he had a catchphrase.
Well, I find the thought of him ending up at City quite exciting. I’ve never felt a particular affinity for him so don’t care if he’s at one of our rivals.
It'll be shit but only because he's way better than Jesus and will take them up a level. Never understood the worship of a player who left us after a lot of drama to give his best years to Real so dont care much about Ronaldo the "legend".
As opposed to spreading United rumours to get a fat paycheck at Real. Which was a non-cnut-ish thing to do
I managed to convert my 7 year old from a City to United fan this summer. His favourite players are Cristiano and Grealish
I tried I guess.Sorry mate.
To be fair, I only found out about it in the past couple of years on here. I don't pay a lot of attention to goal celebrations.
When Denis Law shifted to City, the dynamics were different. I know plenty of City and United fans who watched home games at the other club. The rivalry wasn't as intense. As for Ronaldo moving at this time, it's is a bit mental, but he's never really been a Red. And it's bloody hilarious.
This is a freaking tough one for me. I said earlier in this thread I don't see him moving this year, he seems emotionally involved with the Juve team, even last game he was 100% in with the team, even dishing out instructions and rallying other players from the bench. If he does move... To City...
My heart will be conflicted to mother hell and back. I love Man Utd since I was a kid and saw that 1999 CL final, and I love Ronaldo just as much as Man Utd, but I have maybe a bigger passion for the dude, for my own personal reasons, blah blah. To each their own. Seeing him in a City shirt would be stuff of nightmares. Absolutely everything I don't want to happen. I'd rather he joins PSG at this point.

As somewhat of a neutral, it would be pretty cool to have Ronaldo back in this league.
If he joins City he can go to hell as far as I am concerned.
Damn that sucks man.I managed to convert my 7 year old from a City to United fan this summer. His favourite players are Cristiano and Grealish
My little cousin pretended to be a City fan for years just we wouldn't take the piss out of him. He was finally brave enough to admit that he loves Arsenal.
Yep. Feck him!
Did it? I can’t say I’ve heard that.
Bang on. As soon as he compared himself to a slave to get his move I’ve cringed a bit whenever united fans even entertain the idea Ronaldo might still give a feck about this club. The fact he’s still worshipped by many is a bit mad tbh.
Charltons peak was good as any player.
That's like saying Madrid weren't an elite club back in 2009. We're clearly among the world's biggest 4-5 football clubs. Barcelona, Bayern and Madrid have no sort of exclusive club. But please carry on snorting "CR7"'s backside to delude yourself of the stature of this football. I mean, it's sortof weird that Madrid fans (who are inferior in every way to the older lot) are coming to a Manchester United forum in droves when we aren't one of the biggest clubs on the planet. Weird, that. And no, a footballer cannot compare in terms of stature and importance to these clubs, they're all on a different level to one individual.
I understand the sudden outrage because of the City rumour but his loyalty to United ended when he left for Madrid. That was a clear sign he was moving on. What I don't understand is when a player moves on why can't people just remember their contributions and stop getting butt hurt whenever they make a decision about their future. Instead, they get dragged through the mud and everyone totally forgets all the contributions they made towards us winning games. He used to light up OT when he was here. Can we all just remember that and wish him the best of luck wherever he goes. Hopefully the team he ends up with makes their way to OT sometime soon and our boys give them a good old trashing
Worst thing about this?
The Bruno chant is ruined... came from Sporting like Marcos Rojo doesn't have the same ring to it.

Ronaldo has probably looked at Messi's move to PSG to build a super team and now believes that he needs to make a similar move to ensure that Messi doesn't over take his Champions League trophy tally. I'm using my narcissist thinking cap to put myself in the shoes of a narcissist.
Came from Sporting like Nani
Do the bin dippers have a RedCafe Goes Into Meltdown thread?
Yeah no.
Think he will cause all sorts of chaos at City and really upset the Apple cart - Pep will fall out with him like he did with Ibra - once he says that Messi is the better player Ronnie will have a fit……
Seriously - not sure this is a good fit for him……his age and longevity will seriously be tested now in the EPL
still reckon he could end up at PSG yet though!

Well speaking as a City fan, no, I don’t want him.
I’m not knocking him as a player but I wouldn’t want him in a City shirt and that’s got nothing to do with him playing for Utd 12 years ago and everything to do with the cult of Ronaldo that follows him around.
I think it’d be a distraction to the rest of our squad and I’d much rather have a younger, less famous but more of a team player like Martinez for instance.
If we do get him then I’ll give him my support but I don’t even want to dwell on that right now because it’s a lovely sunny day and not deserving of uncomfortable considerations.
btw I didn’t want Kane either, he’s a prolific scorer of PL goals but just soo boring.
To be fair, the only person Cristiano Ronaldo cares about is Cristiano Ronaldo.
You think all clubs pulled out of the Super League after 2 days because they were afraid UEFA were going to sue them? If this is the reality you subscribe to I'm not even sure I can tell you anything from reality you'd believe. The CL and Super League is nothing alike. The Super League is a American franchise system where clubs have the right to participate in the league, it goes against everything that is assosciated with football and sporting culture in Europe. The fact that Real Madrid still seems to be insisting on it is revolting. You compete through achievement, not like a insecure loserclub that needs to have their competition ensured by contract.
I've made several posts on these very forums explaining exactly what my stance on a government fund or government owned entity taking over the club: I want absolutely nothing to do with any club owner that breaks every human right under the sun before christmas. So you know, get bent.
