It's great to be rid of the muppet!

But 80m for 1 player will surely push the transfer value of all players up. Tevez will probably sign for Utd now that he will probably get more of a look in.

With Chelsea, Man City and Utd all hovering around the best players we wont get much of a look in I think. If we were to get any top class players I think we should have tied them up by now.

Not looking good. I think we will have to take a chance on some lesser known names.

It's more important to hold on to the spine of players we have at the moment, we were close last season and the Mancs are on the verge of losing two players who are probably worth about 50 goals and the same amount of assists between them a season, be very hard to replace that regardless of money.

ok yes they will miss ronaldo , but with the money they will get he goes and buys a top quality replacement for van de sar , a top right back and ribery and or benzema so , it like when rush left for juve ok could replace him with one we had to get 3 or 4 to make us better .

I think it depends how they replace him.

On the face of it its great as they've lost one of their best players. I 'd say they've sold him for more than he is worth. Ronaldo is a great player but not a better player than Kaka, who went for £65m.

I thought he was fantastic two years ago but disappointing in the first half of last season although he had a better second half of the season. Yet having said that he did score 20 goals from wide which they'll certainly miss. I also think at times he's not a team player- ie Champions League final- apart from behaving like a spoilt child a lot of the time.

So they lose a great player but they have £80m to get a replacement or two.

Unfortunately I think they have the potential to become a better team without him.

Of course another plus though is that they appear to be losing Tevez.

To lose one player when you've got as good a squad as Utd doesnt make that much difference, even if its Ronaldo, but two with Tevez as well, should make it a bit more difficult to keep the continuity going :-)

They also of course have to buy the right players to replace him which is easier said than done.

the question is whether fergie will get to spend all that 80mill? they have huge debts to pay off after all

Losing the diving moaning clown will hurt them. He gave them an edge and pace on the wings where united was probably the strongest in Europe. Scum's weakness was in the centre of the park and that means that they would be significantly weakened in two areas not one next season.

even if they buy Ribery who is a great player but lets see how he handles the premiership. they is no guarantee that he will be as good as ronaldo or as effective.

let them buy Benzema who i think is overrated.

hard to think that one player is nearly the value of newcastle united

i cant see united getting either ribery or benzema - ribery wants a warmer climate than here coz he is sick of the weather in germany and benzema wants to play in spain too

He has been their top scorer for the past few season and even beat Bests record a couple seasons ago.
New players will take time to adjust, wont be easy to replace him.

As much as I hate the pratt, he was the reason they won the title for the last 3 seasons at least. Without him they wouldn't have scored anywhere near as many goals.

It's good news because they wont get that many goals out of their new signings as they will need time to settle.
