But the silence on his shirt number speaks volumes IMO. It's a clear sign that there are some conversations being had behind the scenes. If they had it ready to go they'd have announced his number and fired up the printing presses immediately. The PL are at least entertaining the idea of allowing it.

Gazred Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 I don't thiink there is a better header of the ball in the game today. Two quality finishes and another record for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 I'm sick to death of the press creaming themselves over this one. Yes he's been a great player throughout his career but the hype has been crazy. As I posted in another thread recently, Naga Munchetty on Radio 5 described the arrival of Ronaldo as "one of, if not the biggest transfer in British football history". Really?

stephenkibby. Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 i can only hope the Manu, Ronaldo thread can keep going. Maybe every time Ronaldo converts a penalty this season we could all wax lirecal. Nothing gives me more pleasure than the thought of Manu returning to the top of English football.

That said i dont believe its as gravitational as having the guy with the most goals in the game coming back to where he started the brand. Its a huge story and dosnt happen often.

No they won't, clubs get very little of the shirt sales. Probably why prices have increased so much, especially for the likes of us who obviously sell relatively little compared to the big teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midred Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 17 hours ago, Rob k said: Overall package of 75m for the best player ever seems a good deal to me I always think "ever" is a bit strong! If some of the players from years ago had had the opportunity to play as many games as they do now rather than every tournament having mini leagues to progress through or playing friendlies every year then perhaps they might have upped their goals scored. Yes I know that the game evolves but that's why "ever" isn't necessarily relevant. As for Salford media city being camped not far from Old Trafford this may explain the constant love in that the beeb has for Man u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
