Its just a theme though, isn't it? Not to compare the 3 players as footballers, or the roles they would have in the team, but they didnt really push for either Messi, Kane or Ronaldo, despite all the cash that they have.

Guess they are just happy with the squad they've got.

That was my impression also. They splashed 100M on Grealish when they could have went all in on Kane first.

 

[Rassvet]

LOL, but that's just stupid. The man had a year left.

I think they didn't actually wanted him.

maybe Pep knows he's finished and baited United into signing him

They didn't go for any of the other really big signings either, so you could spare yourself the obvious dig this time.

But remember, Ronaldos brand is fake and not nearly as big as Messi's, i remember someone here saying it, but not who, unfortunately.

The ManU share price rose by ?138 million within an hour of it being confirmed !!

There's that, of course. There's also the salient fact that they couldn't possibly have foreseen that events would unfold as they did. If their goal really is winning the CL in the short term Messi and CR are proven winners and gamechangers, adding tremendous value to squads no matter their age.

Kane possibly less so. Grealish is just full of promise at this point.

Grealish has been proven for years .. he has been carrying Villa on his young shoulders all this time .

Yeah, overall i think its quite a safe signing for City, and one for the future.

DemBouZ was one for the future too Look how he panned out

Hope he does magically mend from now on. Prove me wrong.

 

[Luis Suarez]

Grealish looks like someone who gets caught up in the lifestyle.

 

[Morten]

You don?t rotate in the first game of the season when there isn?t another match for 7 days

I will concede you the win here, Rassvet, you deserve it, my friend.

 

[magicomessi]

It?s L and they gonna regret it 😂😂 finished player .. and with their squad we gonna laugh all season long

Since 2019 we've been very reliant on him. He still had loads of inconsistencies up until then though. Obviously he is living up to that promise now but it's rewriting history to say he was carrying us "all this time". In fact 3 of the last 4 seasons he actually missed at least 12 league games in each.

 

[Rassvet]

Georgina commented underneath the post of his signing: "I hope Ancelotti won't come out to deny this too." Seems like a Madrid return was his first choice given that he got Edu to push the rumor and seems pissed that Carlo rebuffed it.

 

[Rassvet]

^Ronaldo probably writing from her account though

That was when he was young but he settled down since and was rewarded with the Captains armband after not reacting to an assault on him on the pitch by a raging opposition fan .
