**Summer Transfer Thread: News, Rumours and Speculation**

Losing the best player in the world who's implacable? No I'm not happy in the slightest

he's irreplaceable as a single player but if he wants to go then we need to think of funds.

 

[Shamikebab]

Great news to wake up to

We better use that money well.

Theres a number of players I would rather have than him. The fact is he destroys the worse teams, against the best in the world he doesn't do too much but get annoyed and throw hissy fits

 

[Bucket]

I don't think SAF would sell him without having a plan tbh.

 

[DanH84]

wow. If he is worth 80 mil I must be at least worth 500k.

you might just be worth a pack of salt and vinegar mccoys and you'd need to be willing to do 'extras'.

 

[Spunj99]

Damn. Was looking forward to the slimey little git being totally shut out of the game by our 300k local boy right back again.

 

[Tom84]

Top class players better be arriving at old trafford...

Nope Valencia and maybe Tevez will be it. Hopefully Rooney will step it up next season....

 

[Steedie]

That must be very satisfying knowing you're worth £80m

 

[nikebee]

I'm delighted with that, as long as it's going straight back into buying players and not to cover debt as previously suggested

Same, we could get some decent players from that cash.

 

[Miguél]

£80m is a lot for one player and it would be stupid of United not to accept the offer. The only problem is prices we pay for anyone else are going to be hiked now.

Get tevez signed fergie!!!

I've done less for more, just need to find the right streets

I cant think of any tbh, but that's not really the point because the money wont be invested in them. I've watched UTD for too many years to know that when we do sell our best players we never replace them with like for like quality we just carry on as we were

haha

I don't see the logic behind it tbh.

Sure £80m is great, but replace Ronaldo with Valencia? That's ridiculous...

We've got Zoran Tosic who should start playing a bit for us next season and he looks to be very good. Wouldn't be surprised if he's the next big thing.

 

[Rich_L]

Highly entertaining transfer window so far, tabloid newspapers in 'finally getting something right' shocker

 

[Tombstone]

And to think that directly before the champions league final when asked outright whether he was staying or not, he answered yes. Just for once I would like to see some honesty in interviews, gets on my wick with players saying one thing and doing another, and managers saying things like "I didnt see the incident" etc etc.

 

[DanH84]

Also just for anyone who is confused this one definitely does break both world records.

Aint it just

I'd love to be sat here thinking ah well we invest the money in a Ribery as a replacement but fact is we wont

This i have been saying for ages, he is a flat track bully at heart but he will still leave a huge gap in the squad.

£80m rofl .....gotta love Perez.

 

[Steedie]

I hope he's a massive flop in Madrid and ends up regretting it

Not because I'm bitter about him leaving, just in the manner in which he's finally left, from last Summer to now
