According to BBC...


Reds accept £80m Ronaldo bidManchester United have received a world-record, unconditional offer of £80million for Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid.

At Cristiano's request - who has again expressed his desire to leave - and after discussion with the player's representatives, United have agreed to give Real Madrid permission to talk to the player.

Matters are expected to be concluded by 30 June. The club will not comment until further notice.

This will only get merged.

 

[Hellboy]

Well who can replace Ronaldo ?

£80 million? Jesus Madrid are insane.

Good business if true then. Would be sad to see him go though.

 

[Sir A1ex]

This will only get merged.

Bollox to that, sane people ignore the big thread, this is quite big news.

 

[Brwned]

Bit of a shock that, interesting...

£80m, fair enough.

 

[Castolo]

He's off then.

Shame, the best player I've ever seen at United and almost irreplaceable.

 

[Sir A1ex]

here

 

[jdmufc]

on sky news also

 

[Mozza]

It's at his request so I assume that means we don't have to pay any loyalty bonus and signing on fee remaining.

 

[Stobzilla]

Ah well.

Ta ta Ronnie.

Step forward Mr Rooney.

 

[Treble]

Bit of a shock that, interesting...

I think it was coming, it seems that there was some sort of agreement between Ronaldo, Sir Alex and Real.

[Scholesgoals]

wonder how we are going to fill that hole?

Shit, Madrid are going to have an awesome fifa team next year!

 

[Rahul]

Bloody hell, didn't expect this.

 

[keano6_16]

hope to god we have replacements lined up

 

[sincher]

Decent money, you have to say.

But bit of a blow (!), as to get a top class replacement will also be very expensive with the market as it is.

 

[Scholesgoals]

me neither

 

[OneUnited24]

Even though it was coming i am really quite shocked, even more so because this means prices for players that we are interested in are going to sky rocket

 

[devilish]

We are selling our best player.

 

[jdmufc]

anyone not in england, download the "filmon player" and you can watch skysports news live!!

 

[Longsden_7]

We have Wayne Rooney. No worries

 

[Escobar]

Now that's not really good news though... but he also put in a request according to Sky, and the money is right.

 

[Amir]

Nice to know he asked to leave again. Ta-ra Ronnie.

 

[jgraham]

Benzema and Ribery will do nicely

 

[I_live_cement]

I know my brain's telling me otherwise considering they still haven't sorted that sorry excuse for a defence, but Real will have a scary attack next year.

 

[Rahul]

£80m is a very NICE amount though. Have to say.

edit: Ronaldo wanted to leave apparently. It was coming.

 

[Brwned]

I think it was coming, it seems that there was some sort of agreement between Ronaldo, Sir Alex and Real.

I was really sure he wouldn't be gone until next summer actually.



Oh well, Ribery/Benzema it is.

 

[Sir A1ex]

manutd.com also say he put in the request

 

[StringerBell]

Best player I've seen play in the premiership... devastated.

Juventus used the money they got for Zidance wisely, thankfully we have the best manager in the world to do the same.

 

[Stobzilla]

My Money is on Anderson, Nani and the Yoof stepping up.

Rally around Wayne, he is the heartbeat of our team.

Sad to see Ronaldo go, but he's done everything he can do here, time for him to move on earlier than expected to see that the only way to go after United is down.

 

[devilish]

Benzema and Ribery will do nicely

more Valencia and Tevez.

 

[Alex]

feck!!

 

[marrakoosh]

OK. So he's gone.

£80m is an epic amount. It's hard to refuse.

He'll see the error of his ways...

 

[devilish]

We have Wayne Rooney. No worries

He is a good talent but not as good as Ronaldo.

 

[Anduin]

feck off Real.

 

[jdmufc]

you cant really argue with a 68 million profit........at least he didnt go on the cheap

 

[antohan]

It was about time we no longer had the Ronaldo nonsense going. No idea how we will replace him, roll on transfer muppetry... It will be a long summer.
