Already wears CR7 underwear so give him the shirt too.
Viva Garnacho!Are they singing viva ronaldo?
Nice to see Martinez was there celebrating with him. Captain material.Someone's enjoying their birthday:
I don't see Martinez but I do see Drake.Nice to see Martinez was there celebrating with him. Captain material.
EtH said several times that he needs to up his game and earn that. Would indicate a high believe that he can do it though.If they give him the No 7 shirt wouldnt that be ab indicator that hes going to be a regular starter?
Bottom leftI don't see Martinez but I do see Drake.

I get what you're saying but as a Canadian I'm obliged to state this is the worst number you could have picked to make that point.If we're talking about legends, why don't let them make their own? wear 99 and be the best player in the world their not mutual exclusivity.
WTF!?Someone's enjoying their birthday:
Was he though? Garnacho is probably the closest thingNo. He is not ready for No.7. He is still very young and I think he needs at least 1 more season to develop.
Ronaldo was a different beast.
For those here on the caf who never saw Ronaldo match after match in his first season at OT, he was spectacular to watch -- especially those multiple stepovers -- but was wildly erratic. The law of the football gods is such that it's hard to see Garnacho ever reaching the height Ronaldo reached, but at the same age Garnacho is better than Ronaldo. Ronnie took at off 20 and never looked back and what exactly he did to grow from boy to man we'll never know (has to be more than hard work I would think) but at 18 Garnacho > Ronaldo. We'll see about this upcoming season as defenders will be wise to him and no doubt will have a few raised studs waiting for him.Ronaldo definitely wasn’t ready when Ferguson gave him No.7 20 years ago. I think the story goes that he wanted No.28 but Ferguson was quite insistent on No.7.
Garnacho’s stats last season aren’t too dissimilar to Ronaldo’s United debut season stats. They both had some bright moments through largely uneventful periods.
Seeing that Garnacho idolises Ronaldo, he’ll probably see getting No.7 as the biggest confidence boost possible. The club then have to make sure his feet are kept on the ground and that he doesn’t fall into complacency, because as a teenage footballer I imagine it can be really easy to get carried away and think you’ve made it if they give you Ronaldo’s No.7.
Yikes.Someone's enjoying their birthday:
It's like some of you cnuts were never nineteen and wanted to hire midgets and hookers for birthday.WTF!?
Are those guys his friends or did he… hire midgets…?
If so… how, Why?
Nice to see Martinez was there celebrating with him. Captain material.
Couldnt agree more!He fits the 7 perfectly. He's cocky, he stylistically fits it as a player, potential wise is good for it, don't think he'll crumble under the pressure of it.
People are all scared cause other players struggled, but that was either mentality based or just the wrong players. Garnacho is the kid for it.
Yeah I agree but less can definitely do too for the 7 shirt. It’s not like Ronaldo’s come around regularly. But Ronaldo also had some years before he turned into the Ronaldo we knew, where it was up for debate whether he’d fulfill his talent.I know it was many years ago but Ronaldo debut at Man Utd was something else. From his first game we knew straight away that he was going to be superstar. He was very exciting to watch. Wonder kid with wonderful skills.
SAF and the team saw him play for the first time vs Sporting in a friendly and all of them urge the club to sign him asap.
I don't follow. They're not children, they're perfectly capable of setting up a party.People realise 19 year olds don't organise their own birthday parties, right?
Some fly under pressure. We should overrate that numberUnless he's going to be a bonafide starter from match 1, there is no point putting unnecessary pressure on the kid.
What if the midgets are the hookers?It's like some of you cnuts were never nineteen and wanted to hire midgets and hookers for birthday.
Sheesh.
Nobody is saying he can't, but it's highly unlikely a 19yr old lad organises their own party, especially a professional footballer, who is likely to have more hangers on than your average teenager.I don't follow. They're not children, they're perfectly capable of setting up a party.
Nice teenagehood you had.What if the midgets are the hookers?
