Why does it have to be one person wiht £80m? It doesnt
With MUCH less selfish and more team orientated players that is not such a hard target to get to, not to mention Rooney is worth an extra 10-15 goals a season and majority of those assists just playing centrally (and that costs nothing)
Absolute crap, again, the highest assists pretty much anywhere are years where Fabregas got around 20, or Young got 18 I think, Barry used to get 15 odd assists a year for a few years. Ronaldo gets between 8-10, selfish, stupidest excuse I've seen in ages. He wastes freekicks is the new one, you know how many freekicks get scored, it will be less than 5% no matter the person and no matter the style in which they take them, freekicks rarely turn into goals, most games have 5-10 and most games don't have a goal from a freekick. Having a go at Ronaldo for shooting from freekicks and scoring the odd one, instead of crossing them in, and scoring the odd one, is just utterly retarded.
Also pretending Rooney, who not for a single second in his entire career has looked prolific, will score an extra 15 goals a season because the selfish Ronaldo has gone is simply ridiculous. Whats his highest scoring year in the prem now, 12 maybe 15? You think he's going to become a 30 goal a year striker, is this from his pre ROnaldo years where he scored 6 or 8 goals a year at Everton? Or is it from knocking in 2-3 in a single game against SAn Marino or Andorra?
Thats not the type of player Rooney is, he's never been an Owen, even when asked to play up top as the main striker he drops deep, he does so for England, Man U and used to for Everton, thats his game, a creator not a scorer, pretending otherwise is to blindly ignore the truth.
As for spending 80million on one player, point out where I suggested that, I didn't, I said there was NOT A SINGLE PLAYER THAT COULD REPLACE HIM. So from me saying theres no one in the world that can replace him, you've decided to pretend I said you could spend it all on a single player? Even though I specifically said they can replace his goals by buying multiple players. In all likely hood Utd will buy ONE big player, a Benzema/Augero/Ribery(for sake of the Argument) so you're looking at 30-50mil for a "star" then a couple players for 10-20mil each, or a bunch of kids for 5 mil each, whatever.
People also ignore a lot of the reasoning for Ronaldo taking it on his own, with Tevez/Rooney constantly dropping deep, and Ronaldo often breaking he's simply ahead of them a lot of the time. UTd simply haven't had a RVN at the club for a few years who stays up the field and is always available for a tap in. Nor should you ignore the fact that, for instance in the Spurs game, ROnaldo, Berb and Rooney were involved in every goal, he might not of got an assist for all of them, but he was involved in the build up, he puts in tonnes of crosses, lots and lots of passes and has more assists than 80% of the league, not sure what the problem is.
You should also not forget that almost every single game without fail I've seen for the past 3 years, Ronaldo is back at every single corner, Ronaldo has cleared corners and won literally hundreds of headers over the years in your own box stopping goals being scored, pretending he does nothing is a joke.
EDIT:- Ronaldo got 20 assists in 06/07, 15 league, 4 CL, 1 in the fa cup, when the club had Saha and Oli playing alongside Rooney, they had "poacher" type strikers, they haven't had that for 2 years and Rooney isn't that kind of player, having a go at ROnaldo for stepping up pfrom 17 goals to 42 to win you the double is a little harsh. the number of players that can get 20 assists in a season is, well, you're talking about less than 1% of players have gotten 20 or more in a season in the prem, Fabregas, Ronaldo, Scholes might have years ago, beckham maybe, very very few others, selfish, yet with the right strikers the ability to be the highest assist maker in the league, sure.........
