Petrucci
That other lad we signed with Tosic.

Possible replacements, we also have Nani who may fare better given a longer run.

Ribery i think may move to Barca if he moves at all.

Yeah, I can't see him coming to England.

Will we have improved though? Those two in and Ronaldo and Tevz out? I don't see any improvement or any squad strengthening. Tbh I don't think Ribery will come anyway.

Maybe Messi fancies a move

Excellent business by Man u, no footballer is worth £80m, and old red nose will spend it better than most

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 am the only one who thinks Valencia is overrated?

Utd could probably get Tevez, Benzema and Ribery for £80m.

Rooney will be straight in my fantasy team now, free kicks and pens etc.

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