If we get him would it be fair to say he would be one of the most exciting signings since Ronaldo?
I thought so too and I'm still unsure that's why I asked.
They have. Would like me to look for it? I didn't want to break any rules or anything since I just got promoted.
You haven't got an Oscar chasing you with them bouncy legs.With that being said, I can't see a player making that type of a blunder.
He wasn't really that exciting signing either. We signed him mainly on the basis of his performance against us a few days before, I remember that it was a day before I went on holiday and he'd already been signed by the time I returned.Ronaldo was kind of a surprise if I recall. There really wasnt a whole summer of chasing him.
That was before the days of Twitter. Can anyone even recall those days?Ronaldo was kind of a surprise if I recall. There really wasnt a whole summer of chasing him.
I thought he was a pretty exciting prospect, that was shown with his first appearance for us. From all the reports before hand and the footage available it was very clear that he was going to be special.He wasn't really that exciting signing either.

No club, anywhere, would give such an assurance to anyone, which means the rest is made up as well.Just read on the daily fail that Chelsea are lining up Van Ginkel. Supposedly, he was given assurances for starting lineup. This could further mean that Chelsea are out of the race for Thiago who is also looking for regular football.
His first appearance, the 20-minute cameo against Bolton, was great and I still remember it vividly. Rooney was a more exciting transfer a year later though and since then we've signed players like Tevez, van Persie or Anderson whose reputation was much higher at the time of the transfer than Ronaldo's. No one really anticipated him to become that good, some people knew that he could go on to big things but not to such extent.I thought he was a pretty exciting prospect, that was shown with his first appearance for us.

Tito.You just got promoted? What kept you?
I just remember his fecking awful jumper.Ronaldo was definitely an exciting transfer. I was sitting at home listening to 5 Live and the report came in. The sense of intrigue was memorable.
We were scouting him long before that but wanted to leave him at sporting for a season. The players on the plane back from that friendly persuaded him to sign him up earlier and we enquired and found out Liverpool amongst others were interested. We didn't mess about and got a solid big in and accepted and the rest is history.Ronaldo was on our radar long before that friendly game. IIRC Fergie said that the club tied up the deal the day before the friendly match.

What's a radio, grandpa?I remember hearing about us signing Ronaldo on the radio. Remember radios? I remember being half-cut and was convinced we'd signed Fat Ronaldo, then spent a good 20 minutes trying convince my flat mate Fat Ronaldo still had game. It was a weird day, and at the time, I'd not really heard of Cristiano at all. I didn't have the internet or Sky in my flat. Only terrestrial TV.
Rooney was definitely a knob-out transfer, for me.
Is it fake, right? It must be fake, can't imagine Thiago doing a Hazard.

It shouldn't have taken that long, he was top scorer at the World Cup the previous Summer and scored ~30 goals for Madrid in the 2002/3 season! True about the radio though, being a transfer muppet was a completely different game before youtube came along!I remember hearing about us signing Ronaldo on the radio. Remember radios?

And the greatest of all, Ronald McDonald

I think he means wireless.What's a radio, grandpa?
It's as fake as Barcelona's buyout clauses. It's 100% photoshopped.Is it fake, right? It must be fake, can't imagine Thiago doing a Hazard.
