Definitely thread of the year contender. “What if it was your son?”
Some absolute classics in here.
Well he's never played for Bayern and he must have scored about 20 goals against you so it's not going to be hard is it ?
When else would you enjoy anything he's done?
I'd be happy for my face to be as red as a baboons backside, anything to ensure this doesnt come to fruition.
I agree the reactions are over the top, but tell me seeing Henry at Spurs wouldn't hurt.
I was talking about the Utd part
It would have sucked and I would have been somewhat angry about it but I would have probably stopped short of cheering when he scores for them and comparing my fanboyism towards him as a father son relationship.
Good read this lul

Damn that poll

Damn that poll
It's the fans and publicity he will get City that worries me more than him actually playing for them, they are already ahead of us on the pitch regardless.
Obviously I'm still going to hate his guts and boo his every touch but what a fanfare signing it would be around the world. It will really cement what is quite obvious to every man and his dog, they are the top team in Manchester.
Ah well, let's hope Pep hates him.

He didnt say he wanted to retire. He wanted to move abroad to slower pace of football and lifestyle.
The intensity and pace of life at United left Schmeichel burnt out towards the end of his time. He left at the age of 36yrs old a Treble winner.
Spent a couple of years in Portugal with Sporting
Then a year at Villa
Then at the age of 40 a year at Man City before retiring.
Big deal
End of the day, he spent his peak years at Madrid, so he’s always going to be a bigger legend to their fans. And he will always have more of a connection with them because of that.
We probably got 3 of his best years tops, the treble PL run, with a champions league to boot of course. But obviously, in those 3 years, he pretty much was the best player in the world, so there will always be United fans who revere him. And they’re not wrong to do so.
I think there’s always going to be that club feeling of: “we took a chance on him when he was a diamond in the rough, so he owes us”, but I don’t believe that should be the case. He was on the radar of other clubs at the time.
Personally, I wouldn’t be that arsed to see him go to City at this point in his career, can still offer something, but can’t see him as the second coming.
I still remember Phil Neville pretending he didnt exist in the playertunnel after that.
And most importantly City were basically like Burnley back then.
Local, but zero threat in any way.
You remember it, yet remember the wrong brother!
He probably shouldn't have done the cartwheel though.
Happy to see I voted nope.
Man Shitty
"34 years feck all" or whatever the number of years without silverware it was
That was mainly a garbage reply to a garbage poster.
I see. Carry on!
imagine being so sensitive about a shit somersault
Thats not the best part, the amount of likes given for posts like " cant believe people think he aint a legend, he won this, that bla bla bla" hahahah
Don't even remember the poll but I voted Nope apparently. cnut has been dead to me since 2009.
Nah he’s obviously part of that Gary Neville is dead to him crew that hangs about this place.
Proud about my "nope"
Theoretical question is, if the big man called him and told him "to forget it" would Ronaldo take that on board...
Kind of hilarious how we begged Cavani to stay one more year and he's off to play for Uruguay despite the inevitable isolation, oh and he hasnt played for us yet this season.
Meantime arguably our greatest player ever is joining our arch rivals and we havent lifted a finger. I guess players are happy to shit on you when you arent a very good football team.

I blame the Glazers if this happens.
They run this club so bad. If we where win a better position then we may have got Ronnie back and or not even needed him.
And to top it all off City might be getting Ronaldo and we can't even get a Midfielder.....

I hope that crazy fanboyism stops now finally. He left too soon to be a United legend
Damn, I think so much about Phil Neville I forgot he's not Gary
To sign Ronaldo, it looks like you will be paying somewhere between £20m and £50m fees. The club who sign Haaland will be paying at least £150m, and probably closer to £200m, to Dortmund, the player and his representatives. Their wages will be similar enough per annum.
If you believe Haaland can be justified by resell value, then you aren’t paying enough attention to what is happening with big players and their agents, specifically when Raiola is involved. The club that signs Haaland will in effect be leasing him for 4-5 years, at which point Haaland will be 26 or 27 and at his absolute peak. That club will then be in the situation we are with Pogba now: to get Pogba/Haaland to re-sign you will have to basically start all over again and outbid clubs with a package of footballing prospects, fees and wages. Neither Haaland, nor any of Raiola’s biggsts clients, are going to sign their financial value away for a football club wield.
He could come here for less stupid money if he wanted. If he is happy to go city for whatever reasons then feck him
Roy Keane has never spoken to him again haha
This is so utterly depressing. Can somebody bloody get SAF on the phone to Ronaldo.
FFS. Please don't let this happen.

Only with our ribs splitting in laughter
Yeah, the liberties we are giving Cavani are another subject. Basically playing for us part time. We’d laugh him or a similar profile player getting that freedom from an MLS club.
There's something a bit sad about all this.
The sight of Ronaldo being desperate to move clubs but nobody really wanting him or being able to afford him,

No. I can justify it by the fact you’ll be getting at least 6 years of a far better player. This isn’t prime Ronaldo - it’s old poacher Ronaldo and literally nobody would be suggesting we sign him if there wasn’t the emotional attachment to him. It makes zero fecking sense from a footballing perspective. But then this the forum that went into fecking meltdown when we didn’t sign Bale last year so it’s not a huge surprise.
We don't know that. According to one report we where offered him and don't want him.
Anyway I'm not too concerned with Ronaldo in that he hasn't players for us for years.
I am concerned that we are neglecting the team yet again and falling short of the mark before the season even starts.
Always do things in half measures
Some of us who never cared for Ronaldo after 2009 can’t be bothered really. He has always been about himself and nothing new here. I just hope he doesn’t score against us and annoy us with that fake apology celebration
