We will never replace Ronaldo, just like we've never replaced Stam, van Nistelrooy or Beckham. IF Fergie gets the money, which I hope he does, I trust him to bring in a new player which can develop United. We lost Stam and (eventually) got Ferdinand and Vidic, we lost van Nistelrooy and got Rooney, we lost Beckham and got Ronaldo.

No one player is bigger than United, if they're heart / soul isn't in the club, then for me they can f*ck off.

I'd rather have an out and out winger so that Rooney can stay up top, look at how he played there last night for example.

Villa, Silva, Ribery, Eto'o, Benzema and Valencia are the main names been touted ATM.

I agree if he does not want to be here then he can go, given us great service and the money we are getting is phenomenal.

However with Tevez likely to go it means we need two top players plus we need to sign a third to improve our squad from last season.

Valencia or Arteta; who's better?

Arteta all day, but obviously I've seen more of Arteta than Valencia. But what I have seen he's hardly been immense.

Ljajic?

Will he be arriving during the summer, then?

That spelling looks better, Nemanjic got it right, mid season I think.

But thankfully for United, he has bent over for Madrid at the beginning of June, so we have got plenty of time to look for a replacement(s) instead of him leaving in August/September and leaving us no time to replace him. Tosic is ready to step-up.

Too many "ic"s for my liking.

I agree, but he'll be given a lot more first XI opportunities this season, IIRC he only played around 20 minutes last season. Next year could be a massive year for Nani. He simply has to step up or he can f*ck off as well.

Good business from United, obviously he will be a loss but I think others will take on a more prominent role i.e Rooney, I expect Valencia to replace him and Benzema to come in.


Thank you Ronaldo for 6 great years. Viva Ronaldo.

Yanks were never going to turn down 80mil so this should help your debt interesting to see who you bring in but good business imo.

Do you not feel that England and the Premiership has just lost arguably its greatest ever player?

I don't doubt he is a fantastic player but it's nice to see him leave Utd for a big club
