The owners of Manchester United have reportedly accepted an offer for Ronaldo. Sounds like £80 from Real Madrid.

£80 million is a lot of money, we can get 2 or 3 good players with that money and hopefully not miss him too much on the pitch.

Manutd.com also reporting it was was at his request, so its yet again for the 3rd/4th ? season in a row he has requested to leave.
I think the only difference this year is that Madrid have actually put down an offer 1st !

He's not going to be easy to replace, but I suspect Fergie has been aware of this for a couple of months and will have something up his sleeve.

Great player, done a superb job for United but time to move on and pocket the cash. A joy to watch (also a pain in the backside at times when he has his strops on the pitch)
£134 Million in 4 days on 2 players by Real - Credit Crunch my arse!!!!!

Great player when he tries but @ even £50mill you would be crazy to hold on to him.

I did ask for a thread title change in my 2nd post. I realised as soon as I'd posted that I'd dropped one on the title
