I know where you are coming from. City have an expensive squad, but not sure there are many egos in there. Now they are signing one of the biggest.
Cristiano Ronaldo | Signs for United! Fcuk City

Ronaldo can't even teach his son how to say his own name to be fair. Terrible father. Imagine having a billionaire dad but you cant even spell. Barney the dinosaur makes a better dad.
Come on PSG, make it happen.
I bet he's got nothing to say about Madrid's majority advantage over all La Liga teams except Barcelona in terms of TV rights share between 2000-2017. If it weren't for the disparity of TV rights money, both Madrid and Barca wouldn't have been able to create a two-team hegemony in the league, and subsequent guaranteed CL participation money every single season which reinforced their position in Europe and dominance in the league in the first place.
Says a lot about my feelings for him that I don't really care about him going to City, although I'm slightly annoyed of the possibility of having to see all the weird stuff about him more often, including his fans, celebrations and face.
Im still not sure this will happen. I just dont think City will want to pay £25-30m for a 36 yr old, and wont swap Jesus for him.
They wont get him for free apparently, so while all the personal terms are agreed etc, i think it'll fail to happen.

This actually a great move for both parties. City anyway dominate the league and come close in the CL. All they lack is a proper goalscorer. For Ronaldo he doesn't have to be that involved in the buildup, gets to play in a team that create a lot and works under Pep. On paper it's a great move. But a kick in the teeth of the Ronaldo obsessed United fans.
Come on Real, hurry up buy Mbappe now which gives PSG a good reason to buy Ronaldo.
Its what his obsessive fans spam in here when he scores or some shit
Can’t believe we are now rooting for a Ronaldo-Messi tag team at PSG.
Got major apathy towards this if true. It's all just a bit of a shame really.
I don't feel that strongly about this. Ronaldo was an incredible player for us once upon a time but he left 12 years ago. It feels like some haven't moved on from that, but that's a long time ago in life and in football, and a lot has changed since then. It might be a bit of a dickish move if he goes to City but it's Ronaldo. We all know what he's about by now, he's in it for himself and he doesn't care about public perception.
In some ways, it'd be interesting to see how it goes if it does happen. Guardiola and Ronaldo feels like a huge clash of personalities, and the way he plays is more or less the antithesis of Pep's philosophy.

The gift that keeps giving. Which mod is responsible for this one?The fact that you don't know means that you are doing something right.
Feel pretty sick by this to be honest.
Definitely hurts.

He always said how much he loved to play at Manchester
Ronaldo 5 yrs ago? Theyd have walked the league, i dont think they will with him at 36
Why are Juve so useless now? are they skint?
Ronaldo to PSG rumours now?
I think whoever buys him he will go. I hope it's PSG at this point.
I wouldn’t be happy to see Cristiano at City, but let’s be real…
Times are different. Players are brands now, and a lot of fans follow players, not teams.
Ronnie wants to play, win trophies and make money. If his agent approached us and we had no interest, which reportedly happened, but City does have interest, why should we, as fans, be upset with him?
His respect for SAF will never fade.
I understand the “Death to Ronaldo” camp, but the man is 37, at the end of his career, went to us first… Don’t you think you are being a bit irrational about all of this???

Why? Because he’s already said in the past he’d never join another English club because United was in his heart, that’s why. But if he does go there then that was obviously a load of old bollocks.
feck him, wherever he goes.
This is just nirvana for city fans, if he goes there it just highlights the power shift and exacerbated by Utds refusal to even at least enquire over a potential return.
Utd do have other pressing positions to fill but surely they could be seen to be at least wanting to compete for the best players, especially Ronaldo.

not sure i can take this
Ronnie to City with KDB and Mahrez creating chances would be criminal, even on the eye he looks not right for a Pep team.
On the other hand, the UCL will be interesting:
- psg with Neymar and Messi
- City with Grealish and CR7
- Real with Mbappe
- Chelsea being Chelsea
- us with Varane and Sancho in form
Might be an interesting season ahead.

Surely City will pony up 21.4M for him.
He didn't do too bad at the Euros for a 36 year old. You don't think he will score goals in the BPL for fun now?
It would have hurt if he was in his prime (2013-ish) but right now I'm not so bothered as he will be lucky to be there more than 2 years.
He's more of a Real legend now than a United one anyway, though we remember him very fondly.

That's easy to understand. He is a player who came to us at a young age and then became good player here and then became a legend with multiple Ballon d'or.. Which is why he is worshipped.
If he did not go on to become a legend of the game, people wouldn't have cared.
Or he's just toying with city to get psg to hurry up?
Deery me. His legacy will be tarnished in my book by going to a rival like City, and especially a rival like City. I knew he was an egotist and narcissist but i reckoned he at least had a bit of loyalty about him.
No it's not considering if we won that game against City, we would of gone down anyway
Aside from one of the class of 92 turning up there, I can't really imagine a worse player to join them.
At least it's not Liverpool being the only tiny consolation.
Still don't see it, but it's not boring off still.

Disappointing if he goes to City, I thought he would have some loyalty to us & not go to them. Guess it’s all a business at the end of the day.
he did alright at the euros yes, my point was more that at 36, he quite obviously isnt the same player. I do not think theyll walk the league, no
This is it 100%.
Karma is obviously a Liverpool supporter, so now we are getting back for signing Owen
Still a cnut. Just not as much
