Wow... I didn't think he'd go for that much, I thought Kaka's deal would make Ronaldo's in the 60-65 range. That is a massive price tag.
In terms of what's next, ManU is probably going to bring in that Serbian striker they are high on. I'm not sure what they are going to do for a winger. Maybe they'll get Ribery, maybe not. I'm waiting to see what happens with Tevez.
Not too surprised by this, to be frank. And £80m is just to sweet a deal to refuse. Assuming they would have in the region of £20-25m, plus the transfer of Frazier Campbell (£6m) plus a couple of others, we're looking at around £110-£120m of spending for United this Summer. Step 1: bring Tevez back. It's the only thing I've ever seen United fans really get unhappy with Fergie about, so I think they have to do it. That will leave £80-90m on new talent, so it should be an exciting Summer. I also think they need to replace Ronaldo with genuine star players. Probably 2 genuine stars, plus another 1 or 2 players with massive potential. Who knows, but that's what I think. Also, they signed Ronaldo for £12.25 million, sold him for £80m. Add in the service he has given them, and that's some great business. I just hope Glazer does use the money to service the debt that he amassed to buy the club. He'd better not anyway, or the fans will give him absolute hell.
Damn... I wanted Ronaldo to stay put... Ronaldo vs. Kaka would be awesome... However Ronaldo AND Kaka is just like Wade AND LeBron LOL
Ew, another basketball analogy. United will be fine but Ronaldo is irreplaceable. They'll get some big names this summer, though.
I expect at least 3 star players being signed by United. (book it) lol Like Chingy said, thats some damn good business, getting a guy for 12 mill and then turning the investment into 80 mill.
I love hearing those words from rival clubs, Cristiano Ronaldo is truly irreplaceable he is just a huge threat from 50 meters and in that is why he is better then Messi, Messi can't score a goal from 50 or 40 meters like Ronaldo can on free kicks or just kicking it that is why Ronaldo is more deadly and he does everything what Messi can do but better and stronger. I love you Ronaldo and I will still have your Manchester United picture in my wallet fuck Real!
