Ronaldo to Man City is a done deal according to reports in Portugal

Fascinating for a few reasons if it happens.

• Utd fans reaction

• How's Ronaldo going to take being benched every other week by Pep?

• And why are City getting increasingly desperate? Is it because Guardiola has hinted he's off at the end of next season when his contract runs out?]

You think there's a chance that Ronaldo is being misled like Robinho was 13 years ago? I mean, stranger things have happened.

Robinho : "I thought I was joining Manchester United. I was misled by all involved. I wasn't aware there was another Manchester club."

Not much stranger

And why are City getting increasingly desperate?

Here's why ...

Winning the Champions League was the declared objective when the Qataris bought the club!

Considered starting backing Ronaldo to City above 3.0 couple days ago when Fabrizio Romano (the "HERE WE GO" Italian journo guy) streamed live on Twitch and offered his views and updates, but market was very thin and bigger market makers never get involved with these cuz they don't like the risk I guess so end up small markets overall, besides some iceberg odrers here or there. Took a nibble later on.

For those that dabble in transfer markets it's probably worth following Fabrizio a bit on Twitch, think he said he'll be streaming every day until deadline day, top source imho.

Monday piling in for Man Utd now. Ronaldo in his private jet on the way to Manchester.

I reckon a lot of this movement is just wild speculation.

[Kai]

I think a bit of an overreaction to the OGS presser, saying he's in for Ronaldo. Some desperate stakes out there, couple of my own as well

[Kai]

This will be devastating for United fans if he doesn't end up joining them now, it's always the hope that kills you!

Blown my earlier profit, was far too casual about my approach, I give up.
