Manchester United are weighing up a late bid for Cristiano Ronaldo worth up to £80 million.
Mourinho is unsure whether to spend the majority of his budget on an aging player. (Daily Sport)

Daily Sport? I don’t know where to start.

{Ed001's Note - I had no idea that still existed.}

05 Jul 2018 19:59:50
They actually do sport in the daily sport?

05 Jul 2018 20:34:14
I thought it was just pictures, mostly of nipples.

05 Jul 2018 20:52:50
We’d have to be tits to spend that on an old man.
He fits Italy. slower pace and he will get a stack of goals.

We need to look forward!

Once you've got past the headline of the day which is usually along the lines of"hamster shagged my greggs pasty" there is lots of reliable football info. honest.

06 Jul 2018 07:17:02
Never ever did i think i'd ever live to hear the words 'daily sport' and the word 'honest' in any form of association, man alive you'll be telling me next they really did put a man on the moon, you cheeky scamp!

{Ed001's Note - they did, he was driving a London bus, I saw the pictures in the Sport.}

Is that the one where he was racing lord lucan riding shergar? i lost a tenner on that, the useless feck that he was! -got it back though on elvis winning the grand national on 'a burger done for me belly big time'-strange name for a horse, but i'm not judgememtal the therapist told me!

Must be rubbish, spending most his budget on an ageing player. works better for Jose than Viagra.

07 Jul 2018 15:16:31
Daily sport is quite good at sports reporting. But I get it for the nappies. See ya 😆😆.

09 Jul 2018 23:34:37
That "aging" player is still twice as good as anyone on our team. The delusion on this site is mindboggling. What is in the Manchester water that people don't want Ronaldo but think United will ever win a major club trophy relying on Jesse Lingard or Ashley Young.

I swear, this board can be infuriating at times. Ronaldo scored more goals than all of our forwards combined for goodness sake!

10 Jul 2018 18:28:02
Ironically England could win a World Cup with Lingard and Young.

That means NOTHING to me. Drama? Sure. Quality? Not so much. The WC is terrible football played by teams with semi-pro players in some cases and with only a fw weeks of playing together for the quality squads. I'm not bashing the entertainment value, especially for casual fans, but the quality of play is awful, which is prob why Lingard and Young look ok at the WC but look like jokes in the CL and PL.

Also another good time to repeat, RONALDO is better than anyone on our team. Letting him go to Juve is a mistake we will regret. And most of you will have to answer for your completely moronic takes on the issue. MIC DROP.

C'mon KG, gis a kiss and a cuddle.

Papers now linking us with Shaqiri.

Him and Shaw would be unstoppable in the cafeteria.

05 Jul 2018 11:33:52
If Shaw got in first. There would nothing left in the cafeteria.

05 Jul 2018 11:49:42
I’d say they both try to go through at the same time, and just get stuck.

05 Jul 2018 12:29:46
Leave the jokes, guys. For 12mln tell me a better quality right winger who happily will be a squad player. And do not forget that we are playing without right wing for years.

{Ed001's Note - happily be a squad player? He left Bayern because he refused to be a squad player.}

05 Jul 2018 13:09:07
I mean his career has been a litany of failed auditions at big clubs. He ended up at Stoke where he put in no effort. That’s about his level - struggling EPL club where he can get by on natural ability without having to work.

05 Jul 2018 13:22:55
Not sure he wanted to leave, more like Bayern wanted to sell.

{Ed001's Note - yes, because he refused to knuckle down and be a squad player.}

05 Jul 2018 13:55:28
A simple question. what if a gamble clicked?

05 Jul 2018 15:38:35
Always tried to back jose and give him the benefit of the doubt but if the rumours about Shaqiri are true I’ll have lost all faith, don’t care if its 12 million or 12 bob he’s not worth it, i watched him against the swedes and i bet he didn’t run a bloody mile all game and that's at the World Cup.

05 Jul 2018 17:32:01
Absolute no to shaq IMO. Wont be happy with what we probably wpuld offer and he'd be leaving again next season.

05 Jul 2018 19:54:58
He’s failed everywhere, why on Earth would we sign him?

05 Jul 2018 20:02:26
Make a good door stop?

05 Jul 2018 20:51:35
Last week some folk on here were saying shaqiri is better than mata and jessie. 😂😂😂😂😂😊.

06 Jul 2018 01:06:08
Talented player but needs a team to be built around him, and he's not talented or applied enough to get that at a top club. Plus, he personifies the opposite of a "Jose player"! I wouldn't pick him ahead of Lingard, Alexis, Mata, Rashford, or the pre-slump Martial. I'd also rather Pogba play further forward with another midfielder in behind him than in a 2 with Shaqiri as 1 of the attacking 4. A big fat no from me. He'll probably end up joining a smaller club. Liverpool perhaps?
