⚽️THE FOOTY THREAD:

Fabrizio Romano talking about the behind the scenes on Twitch right now.

 

[Bosa]

I feel like robocop shaking. Wow!!!

 

[El Argentino]

He taking 7 back? Cavani lol

I hope so. Otherwise he takes 17 off Fred.

 

[lovehateself]

CR777

 

[jmeisreal]

This is insanity

 

[jape]

It’s crazy. City passed on Messi and ronnie for 30 million to try and get grealish and Kane for 250 million

 

[Sinner]

So apparently, Sir Alex and Bruno were both involved in persuading Cris.

 

[Bantz Lord T]

You really going to ignore that he was a pen stroke away from City yesterday? Your ex-players had to pull a move that reminds me of that time DeAndre Jordan got locked in his own home to prevent him from signing with the Mavericks

See what I mean. And you’re a Chelsea/RM fan.

And you’re copping the CR United kit.

United will make money off this, it’s good for their brand. But they need to finish assembling the squad. 4 days left. Let’s see what they do.

This is true. My Ronaldo love lingers from his RM time.

But any PL fan cannot love this prospect. It's too Romantic.

Time makes certain things more poignant too. In retrospect, you have to love that 06-08 United side because it was just a good thing for football generally in the era.

I just cannot cop a non chelsea PL kit at all. That feels so wrong

I don’t mind copping PL players’ National/non PL kits tho

For example, I copped Messi FCB, CR7 RM, Egypt Salah & France Pogba kits

I still would likely not kop a Messi PSG kit. *shrug* Certain thing stay with you. RMs my first love. I arrived at Chelsea after about a decade of neutral EPL fandom.

Gonna be wiiiiild watching that counterattack. But please get Lingard/Fred/Matic/Jones out and some midfield bolstering and preferably a right back that can play a pass forward.

 

[sonoftony]

 

[michael ballack]

Cuadrado gotta be stoked he can finally get his number back

 

[Beans]

Man I don’t even have the words..
While I’m glad he’s not going to city this does not at all address our issues and probably costed us haaland.

Speak for yourself. This is football, not some romcom

 

[d3si]

I feel like robocop shaking. Wow!!!

What about Giant Ronaldo?

 

[aepps20]

MAN U LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. SWEEEEEEEEET CAROLINE. I WILL SING THAT AND FOOTBALL IS COMING HOME NOW THAT RONALDO IS COMING HOME.

 

[sonoftony]

LETS ****ING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFBROFBDKRJFKFVDKDLFJ

LFFFFGOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[El Argentino]

Speak for yourself. This is football, not some romcom

It's poetry. It appeals to human nature's desire for mythic resolution and archetypes. Prodigal son coming home. All that stuff.

 

[atransta]

CR7 United kit will be copped

 

[El Argentino]

CR7 United kit will be copped

Long sleeves, assurredly.

[rolaholic]

Even though there were more pressing needs, I can't lie and say I'm not hyped as hell to see him back at the Theatre of Dreams in red

 

[Barbados Slim]

hold up hold up. Is this official!?
The transfer window has been mad.
