Default Ronaldo goes for £80m!

Where do Madrid get the money from??

A good deal for Man Utd though, unless City put in a counter bid.

That's big money, but who do Man U buy to replace him? Kaka?

I guess it will be Ribery or someone cheapish.

Hang on a moment: didn't Sir Alex recently say that he "wouldn't even sell them a virus" or something nice like that?

gone are the 9.9s for his diving and cheating. you can't bleat about it, most man u fans wanted rid and you've got 80m for him.

dont worry, torres will fill the void minus the rolling around of course.

seriously though, who the **** are they going to get to replace him? not good business if you ask me, anyone that man utd go in for now will have there prices inflated cos they know they have 80 mill to spend.

it is funny how he has left to go to a bigger club

Plenty of players will shine through young Steven. Fergie again showing no player is bigger than Man United and will not be held to ransom

£80m is too much for anyone to turn down, for any player.

I'd assume Ribery will be the main target, but he isn't worth the £65m Bayern want for him IMO.

Shame to see him go, but is was obvious he wanted to leave.

bad move, even if they spend the 80million on one player alone there if nobody out there that will get all them goals. Replace ronaldo with valencia? dream on!

Real have effectively got Ronaldo on a free transfer. that £80 mil will be recouped in 3 or 4 years through marketing his image rights.

Someone on Sky's just said that the "big 5" won't come to the prem.

So no Ribery or Benzema for ManU then?

Ribery's favoured destination is Barca.

It's a good point: no matter how bigotted we are about a player from a rival Premier League team (I hate Man U as much as the next manc), the fact remains that the world's very best players (the likes of Messi, Kaka and shortly Ronaldo) will be all be playing in Spain next year. Don't forget that these guys are still relatively young and will probably get even better.

wouldn't sell them a virus, maybe not, but sold them your best asset.

at least you can afford the extra 50k for Tevez now.

hope they've run out of money as alonso was on perez's shopping list.

It hurts me to admit it but he was the best player in the Premiership (and probably the world) and it will be a shame not to see him play.

Makes it easier for the other teams to catchup though as whoever ManU replace him with won't be anywhere near as good.

When I see all this about Ronnie going to Madrid, I just remember when players like Cantona, Beckham, Schmeichel, Hughes, Robson etc, left or retired.

Fergie either replaced them or developed the team to play differently. A good example being Becks, best crosser in the world, didn't have a direct player to replace his long ball prowess, Utd changed the way they played.

I'm sad to see the guy go as a footballer, but won't miss the arrogance of the chap (the Anderson mock interview after winning the PL [again] was a prime example of this), or his glass legs.

£80mill, I'll take that as United (in comparison to other PL teams) have proved time and time again that they can recover.
