MEN: Cristiano Ronaldo holding the Manchester United dressing room together as players question Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Are you really that stupid? There is no point in arguing with people like you. If you can seriously say that Ronaldo is the root of ALL our problems then you are obviously not in your right frame of mind.

And again when did I say that he is the root of all our problems? I never said we were well coached or we had a perfect midfield or perfect defense :wenger: but what happens when you put a 36 year version of Ronaldo in that who can't do any defensive work and changes all attacking way that United were playing because he is only a poacher - it becomes a big problem even if its not the cause of All of our problems.
 
This is just personal pride of players knowing they have to band together to get the results, regardless of the manager who they may believe is incompetent.

Its a good sign we have the likes of Ronaldo doing this. He had all the money he ever needed by the time he was lifting the Champions League trophy in Moscow. It’s all about trophies and winning and that will permeate throughout the squad. There’s probably a bunch of other players in that squad who have that mindset anyway. Personal reputation and pride overrides collecting the weekly pay check for the boys at the top.

It makes perfect sense if you don’t have to sacrifice the productivity of every other player to serve theold boy goals in a plate.
He’s been a truly wonderful player, he’s had an amazing career, he still has a fantastic shot on him and wil score pals for you . . .
But he won’t run and won’t pass so you need to build your team around serving him and the sacrifice exceeds the benefit by a country mile.
Can’t you see that having Ronaldo makes you less of a team than you were without him?
You were already a good side, you came 2nd last season (5 points ahead of Liverpool and 7 ahead of Chelsea) and adding a couple of hardworking midfielders would have transformed you into a very effective unit.
You’d have won pots this season but you bought him instead and you bought him so that the Glazers could take advantage of a temporary boost to your share price.
There was no football sense in it whatsoever mate.

You're taking the piss with this and you know it. Citeh fans were creaming their pants at the thought of signing Ronaldo before we swooped in. Now suddenly "we never wanted him anyway". Guardiola, himself, when asked if Ronaldo is gonna sign for City or Unied said something of the vein "Ronaldo choose who he plays for" and basically insinuated that Ronaldo gave him the snub. Ronaldo himself in a private conversation said it is up to City or United. Now, as far as how useful he is a player, our playstyle is atrocious, so jury is still out. I definitely wouldn't blame him for anything so far, though. He saved our CL group and won us 6 points already. You insinuate that last season we were good before we finished second place, but that is utter nonsense. Last season we were the same shambolic side as we are today in terms of performances, only somehow we continued to be saved by Rashford, Greenwood or whoever. This year it is the same thing. And maybe Ole can get another top 4, but this is simply not good enoug given the amount of money he spent, the squad itself and our lack of clear and defined style.

No I don't need to ride a player who left in his prime to join some Spanish team and has come at the age of 36 and everyone I still pretending like he is in his bloody prime.

Of course you won't. You're too busy riding wum city fans on here.

And way too busy with your anti Ronaldo agenda that just made you tell a troll city fan account he made a "good post"

I do think Ronaldo has created a few problems for us but he could also he useful. You're really stretching it with the whole City weren't really interested conspiracy theory. Pep wanted a Cf and didn't get either of his targets.

What he is achieving at 36 you and the city scum will never achieve in your whole lifetime. He is no ordinary 36 year old.

I'm way past 36 sadly and you are right. I won't. Of course he's not an ordinary 36 year old, most players are long retired by his age which is incredibly impressive, but acknowledging he's getting on isnt an insult and I'm not sure why your getting so angry about it.
 
HerbT said:
Nope, our Pep Guardiola is my idol of a manager wasn’t willing to pay £200m for the highest scoring forward in the PL and that’s why we didn’t buy him.
It’s a fact, you should check it out.

And Harry Kane actually runs and presses and tracks back and tackles and provides lots of assists for his team mates.

Aside from the above, on a personal note because you chose to attack me personally, I’m here to give my opinion, and you should respond by tackling my opinion if you don’t like it and leave out the abuse - it’s childish, it’s uncalled for and it lowers the standing of the forum.

Grow up eh?

How about telling the city scum to shove his opinion where the sun don't shine?

Imo it's blatantly stupid and ignorant to call another poster scum just because he or she support a rival football team and has a different opinion with you of which you can't attack or have nothing to say against so you chose to attack the poster personally instead.

It's quite pathetic tbh.

What's pathetic is defending a city fan coming in here typing this.

And you, a football supporter who knows how City play and who knows that all City players press and nobody gets guaranteed game time, could be naive enough to believe that comical little rumour that Mendes put out to panic United into agreeing a ludicrous salary? :lol:

And, even funnier, you’re now stuck with an old boy who’s become so lazy that he’s the football equivalent of a one legged man in an arse kicking competition :lol:

And, even funnier than that, you didn’t even learn the lesson from your panic buy of past-it Sanchez :lol:

It’s like Groundhog Day - you’re the gift that never stops giving!
 
HerbT said:
No City were in for Kane. There are club statements to prove that but Levy wouldn’t sell Kane for his market price so he stayed with Spurs.

Go on then, amaze us all by proving that the silly rumour, that City were in for Ronaldo, wasn’t just another Mendes ruse that was grabbed at hungrily by the Glazers as they could see that they could use it to squeeze some more money out of your club.

If you can’t see that a static old boy like Ronaldo was never going to get a game at City, and that you bought him for nine footballing reasons, then you’re so deeply naive that it’s not even worth discussing the topic with you.

I’ll agree to differ with you on this one.
After all, we have so much in common, you like Ronaldo being at United and, as a City supporter, I’m delighted that Ronaldo’s at Utd.

We’re both very happy with the same thing so why do you get so angry?
Click to expand...
Do you think clubs put up a big sign for every player they try to sign?
This is a bit of an odd way to talk about a guy you have no interest in signing though...




Don't think anyone outside of yourself cares about that.

Hey mods please do something about this guy.

@golden_blunder sorry I don't know it's you who are responsible for this or not but I can't remember any staff/mod but you.
 
Bebestation said:
We are now like 18th worst in the defence this season :lol:

We were never perfect but we were simply not that bad last season and the only thing that changed? Varane? No. Hardly. Sancho. No. Hardly. Oh...

feck it. City fans can see it. I was talking to him and not you haha.

I see what you mean, things like Maguire and Shaw running into each other wouldn't happen if they weren't constantly confused by the amazement of having Ronaldo in the team.

I'll defend him if I think he's right and other poster have mistreated him.

And there's no need to use that much bold you know. Make it very hard to read so I don't bother at all.

Perhaps if you could "bother" to read through the thread first you would understand why Scarlett got annoyed but then again maybe you wouldn't. Perhaps you're one of those who think blatant wumming on the boards are okay.

So you're calling me stupid and ignorant for calling out a city wum and reporting me for the same. Are you really that stupid ? Yes you are. I will continue to call a city wum exactly what they are and hopefully, the mods send you with him to wherever he's headed.

Wrong.

I don't call you stupid and ignorant. Your action though.

Hey mods, I thought this is a civilized place. From when calling another poster stupid is ok here?

That I would know because if yes I'd bloody love to call some.

Dont think it ends well for him here if Conte comes.

Probably wants Ole to stay.

That’s actually almost the only reason I would want Conte to come. Either make Ronaldo work hard or bench him.
People want him to be captain whereas under Conte he might not even play regularly.

Well you'd be happy to know that neither of us give a damn about what you think is pathetic anyway. :lol:

Just let it go now and stop replying about it and crying to mods.

Fine go ahead. As far as I know there's no rule against defending another poster here, regardless of which team he or she supports.

And when exactly did I harrash anyone?

Guess I'm a little old school and I do get wound up when a city supporter thinks they can just come on our turf and talk shit about our players.
 
Well considering Ole gets paid millions a year and still has no clue, needing some one else to back him, save his ass with last min goals etc is pathetic. He‘s a humble guy but sometimes you just have to admit when youre not up to the task. I quit my high end World of Warcraft raiding group yesterday as i just couldn’t cope with the playtime they put in each week and the high skills they demand. I quit admitting that im not good enough. He should do the same.

Or to personally harrash and attack another poster only because that poster support a rival team and said something you don't agree with?

I got a good suggestion for you then. Place me and the other poster and whichever other posters you think are "pathetic" And put us on ignore. Keep doing this every day until 2030 and perhaps the forum will have become "civilized" enough for you! :)

It's mad how City fans who say Ronaldo at 36 has caused problems for our team is supposedly a scum or a wum :lol:

Literally football news channels saying the same shit about Ronaldo and its the City guy who is the scum for telling the truth. Bloody hell :lol: literally everyone can see it who isn't a down right Ronaldo supporter.
 
Blaming Ronaldo when the entire team being dysfunctional is a bit like bemoaning your acne when you've got leprosy.
