The Premier League thread

We don't need another Cavani type, I think is the point really. It's not like Ronaldo is going to push Matic or Fred out of the lineup. I worry for the likes of Greenwood, Rashford and even Sancho with this. It's more short termism.

Quickest signing ever!

Unless he starts this weekend sky and bt not showing the match. lol

I know he's not what we need but who cares, it's Ronaldo!

At least he's mentality will give some players a kick up the arse.

Because everything indicates he only wants to join Real.

Its ok guys, looks like all the noisy City fans on social media never wanted him anyway because he’s shite and they don’t need him and never made an offer, don’t know what you’re talking about

You would hope if nothing else it will give the players an immediate boost. If we come out against Wolves pondering around at 5mph before falling behind just before half time I think I might have a little cry.

Yeah I´m a bit dumbfounded by the speed of this, not really sunk in yet but it is a bit special.

Just another reminder how much of a cunt Jose was too.

Not really, Ronaldo would never of gone to Juve if Jose didn´t veto his signing, seemed to me that that was the end of his good relationship with the board or at least with Woodward. Things noticeably went downhill after that window, Woodward was practically brought in for that specific job and Jose shafted him, it is certainly around the time the normal toxicity surrounding a moo show kicked in too.

Also I think the odd random reminder every now and then is a good thing.

You've got to laugh that all they've ended up with is a player even deemed a luxury one at International level.

It's certainly good news for the profile of the Prem. Not that it needed help mind you. I'm still slightly suspicious about the claims that City really aren't going to go back in for Kane. Their hand has been weakened by the fact that Kane caved and returned to work, so maybe it is really dead, in which case why haven't they gone for whatever backup option they had in mind (surely that backup wasn't Ronaldo, he and Kane are very different).

Anyway suddenly it's the Utd half of the city that are playing Championship manager. Suspect both will be watching Chelsea dominate this year but it's made it more interesting.

I think they genuinely thought the gentleman's agreement nonsense was going to make it plain sailing for them and everything we've seen from them since has been desperate flailing to try and make the window appear a success. It's been great watching Levy make them look like utter tools by doing absolutely fuck all.

Did you hear him regarding Kane:

Pep on Kane: "Tottenham did not want to negotiate. They didn’t want to talk, so we didn’t talk. We tried to open the door but the big master of negotiations, Daniel Levy, who knows everything, wouldn’t. Maybe I would do the same if I had Harry Kane."

What a child.

I imagine Pep going into his office and Levy with his fingers in his ears "Lalalalala I can't hear you"
