Am glad the drama is finally over...thanks a lot for everything Christiano. Hope you have success in La Liga.
Now for the £80 million that we get for him: we need to buy a winger and a striker.
Ronaldo's stats for the last 3 seasons:
1. 23 goals and 20 assists
2. 42 goals and 8 assists
3. 26 goals and 8 assists
So in 3 seasons, he hit 91 goals and gave 36 assists. He accounted for some 27% of the goals we scored in these 3 seasons and was a major factor in winning us some crucial games and trophies. To replace him by one player is impossible. In the EPL, only one player can guarantee around 25 goals every season and that is Torres and he is at Liverpool.
We need atleast two players who together can provide us with 30 goals and 20 assists. I expect more from Berbatov (in terms of goals) and from Nani. Also the midfield will be expected to get more goals. Antonio Valencia is a done deal I guess. He should cost us around £20 million.
We can expect SAF to now go for Ribery or Benzema. Both should together cost around £80-90 million because both Bayern and Lyon are extremely good negotiatiors. I am not quite sure about Tevez being signed as well since he has expressed his desire to leave.
Also, we have to see the economic considerations of Ronaldo's move. Ronaldo was also earning us tremendous revenue in terms of shirt sales and other stuff. Tevez can't get us that much. Benzema as the new face of United would be more suitable to our sponsors.
So we can expect Ribery and Benzema to come. If we are priced out of them, then expect a move for Ashley Young and even Samuel Eto. Both can come for a combined cost of £40 million and then we can splash cash for Tevez as well.
Best of luck Ronaldo...thanks for the memories.
Glory Glory Manchester United!!!
