Cristiano in his Russell Westbrook arc :youngsabo: Mendes' finally has to work to earn his money with Ronaldo.

That move would confirm something I always knew about Ronaldo, this dude doesn't care about any specific set of fans or legacy at any club. Since day one he's always just wanted to be the best and never really mattered where that happened.

He would probably seriously consider a move to Liverpool if Klopp was interested.

Can't really knock that about him as the concept of loyalty in football has always been flawed and very one sided

(Good) players are expected to be loyal to the club for as long as their talents justify a place but as soon as you fall off, it's the door for you and you'll be lucky to get a send off:camby:.


Hopefully what this will do however is dispel the myth that he ever "loved" United.

I think the guy doesn’t have enough time to assess everything, and doesn’t want to create a massive headline before the season. He’s trying to keep things as low as possible. Hell Flex asked an underhand throw, and he pivoted away from that.

ten hag: "martinez brings some of that south american attitude and .... " :picard:

yep. creh is definitely not an urbane sophisticate like klopp (became) or tuchel.

if things take a wrong turn the press will bar-b-q him.

So no one talking about United being priced out from signing Antony!?

We are Manchester Fukin United. We generate the most revenue in world football but we get priced out from signing a player that our new manager really wants in his first season in charge?

Everyone can just fuk off!

by all accounts we are still chasing FdJ, a RB and a CDM.

My guess is ETH is planning Maguire and Martinez as his 1st choice CBs. Varane will come in if Maguire performs poorly.
This is a bad guess because

-They're both left-footed

-They both need to play with a more mobile complimentary half.

-CB was not a very high priority at United yet we've gone out and signed someone in Maguire's positional profile for a considerable amount of money

If we're playing Martinez/Maguire this season something has gone very wrong.

Varane and Bailly are made out of toothpicks.

The first few games of the season are going to be painful before it gets better

ok ye of little faith ....

like dybala would ever play for spurs ...

No one wanted him this time round breh. Juve bushed him to build the team around Vlahovic...Inter opted for Lukaku..AC Milan not interested and no one from the rest of Europe was interested bar Sevilla who wanted him to take a huge pay cut

This is more of an L for Dybala
