I understand the argument for us not signing him to an extent but it’s a signing that makes a lot of sense in many ways. He’s a ‘clutch’ player (I hate that term) and as long as you have him in the side you always have a chance. Had he gone to City god only knows how many points they’d have gotten as even in games they lose they’re often the best side and create loads of chances. He’d likely already be on 10-15 goals this season imo.
We may still end up with nothing to show for his goals this season trophywise but the alternative is worse. Imagine the pain of seeing that siuuuuu celebration every week while he’s firing City to a quadruple
Sometimes you just gotta step in and stop a nightmare scenario from happening. Thank you SAF for your service 👏
Imagine if City had gotten Ronaldo?

That’s a deal, that’s a steal.

He’d have obviously caused them issues in terms of their pressing and fluidity, but City really do lack a clinical forward that can dig them out of a hole in tight games. It’s been a problem ever since Pep’s been there, and one of the reasons they’ve failed in the CL.

Shame Aguero left City in 2017 and didn't score 91 goals inder Pep.

Also a shame he was a crock and didn’t do much in the CL knockout stages for Pep either.

I'll settle for the 5 league titles he's helped us win.

Well Carrick joined Man Utd and won 5 league titles in his first 7 seasons narrowly missing out by 1 result in the 2 years we didn’t win. He never played a single game for England at a tournament after he was a Man Utd player. Played in 3 CL finals but not one single second at an international tournament. Scarily he only played for England once at a tournament and that was in 2006 KO win where he was MOTM. That turned out to be England only KO win until 2018.

They'd carry him and he'd score goals for fun, I was very worried when they were linked.

City would be a far better team with Ronaldo up front, pressing or not.

Imagine if City had got Pogba, Maguire, Sanchez or Fred.
