Ronaldo to Real Madrid

[-V-]

They have to replace Ronaldo, Tevez (probably), Giggs, Scholes, Hargreaves and Nani who's ****. Most of all they have to replace 40 goals from Ronaldo. I don't care how much money they get from Real Madrid, its an almost impossible job to replace him. He made the difference for them and now he's gone. Woohoooo. Berbatov is **** btw and Rooney doesn't score enough

That's how Mrs B says "Gary."

Ironically enough, as well as Garay, Madrid have a young Uruguayan centre back called Gary who played the last game of the season.

On other news, I'm delighted he's on his way, biggest **** on around. Although concerned where Man Utd will splash the money. Also concerned that they'll benefit from not having a prick like him in there squad to unsettle the dressing room. Ah well, I still think we'll be alright, hopefully. We can't be worse off anyhow.

Ronaldo to Real could be our best transfer of the season

this are fantastic news. i'm just afraid who's gonna be next Scum. :/

There's no way they'll be a weaker team next season.

£80m

if they chip in a further £20m they can buy the whole of Newcastle United

I just don't understand how anyone can say that. Of course they'll be weaker. He's scored about 60 goals over the last two seasons.

Just as a point of interest, who sanctioned this transfer....the Glaziers, or Ferguson? And how much of the money will be set against their mounting debt?

how does selling your main goal threat and the person who won the title for them 2 years ago....and probably this season too, not constitute them being weaker next season?

So what if they bring in Ribery, Silva or Villa they still have to settle and do you think they will score 20+ goals from Right mid? i dont

102 goals from tevez and Ronaldo the last 2 seasons.......thats some task to replace

68

102 with Tevez to !!

102 with Tevez to !!

Do you think that there's perhaps a chance of Tevez staying now?

I don't think there's any "of course" either way. Ronaldo wasn't as effective last season as the previous one. Man United have £80m (or at least a substantial chunk of it) to replace him. I rather think the deal doesn't come as a complete surprise to Ferguson - he might have been planning what to do for months. Perhaps he even wants to be rid of him (although I doubt that).

So it all depends on whether Ferguson can get in replacements who will strengthen them.

Change is inevitable - while consistency is useful, there is as much danger from stasis as from upheaval.

I have to say I will be made up if united lose Ronaldo - the guy is a cunt but he has been vital for them, it's like us losing torres or gerrard for £80m - great we've got £80m but who the **** do we bring in to replace him!

Firstly the only players i would be concerned about united signing would all appear to be unavailable - the likes of Gerrard, Torres, Ribery, Kaka, Messi etc etc - Now ok united have £80m too spend and i think as someone has mentioned above, with ronaldo going, and the likes of giggs/scholes career on the tail end and rumours that nani is off and hargreaves could be finished and they may even be losing tevez!!! ****ing hell £80m in the bank or not I'd rather be in our position right now than theirs!

Ok so they have the potential to strengthen their squad as a whole - but all of sudden the guy they earmarked for centre mid for £8m costs £12m, etc etc as clubs will want their slice of the £80m ronaldo fee.

Do you think that there's perhaps a chance of Tevez staying now?

I don't think so, I believe they were using his fee as just an excuse.

I believe Fergie will go all out and get Benzema and probably Ribery.
