You are of course right, but I can't help but feel a bit sad and jaded at the merry go round that football has become. The money went to far along time ago and it has now got to the point of truly ludicrous excess. 80m would buy you a handfull of championship clubs lock stock and barrell the divisions havev become too big the havs and hav nots are too far apart. I'm sure in 30 years time we will look back an wonder why we let it go so badly wrong.

Just hope to God we don't throw 30 million at Tevez, he's really not worth anywhere near that even if we have the money.
Why did we not go swapsies for Casillas and 50/60 million
Ribery would be nice but "Chelsea's summer transfer plans have been dealt a blow by Bayern Munich placing a £65m asking price on midfielder Franck Ribery" - not worth that.

Sad Ronaldo's leaving the prem. He's one of the few fantastic footballers that I like to watch.
Next Torres will be out

Premier League still has Torres, Gerrard, Reina, Carragher, so you will still see the worlds best players.
Carragher? LOL.
To Utd for £80m ?
Only thing bar Messi that would soften the blow tbh

They can have a signed picture of him jogging past Vidic for that. No more.
All the people crying for ribery I bet haven't seen him play more than half a dozen games. Whoever you buy will be overpriced because the world knows you just got 80million for ronaldo.
Real should buy rooney to go with ronaldo.

It would be a good move for him if he wants to win a Premier League medal.
I've watched Ribery for years, I think he'd be great at Utd. I agree on the fee though, any player we go for now will be inflated. But you can still have Park for £12m?
Have to agree on the Ribery issue, I've watched him for several years and I think he is an outstanding player. I also think his playing style and physical attributes are perfectly suited to the EPL. Speaking as a Liverpool fan, I frankly am hoping that Utd dont get him

Ronaldo, bought for 12.25m, sold for 80m
Good bit of business.
80m pounds gets you 3/4 world class players.
To be fair with the world record transfer broke twice in one week...
anyone who has a "world class" player will probably increase their asking prices now,
like someone has mentioned, whoever Man Utd go for know they have 80m in their back pocket
I want to be.....you.....
I agree, I think this will over inflate the transfer market even more.
80 + whatever money Fergie was going to get anyway, is a massive transfer kitty, and will bring in a fair few world class players, to replace and improve the squad.
"ronaldo being irreplaceable" is bull****. They said that about Eric, Beckham...
