Man Utd accept £80m Ronaldo bid. Phew!

What a day it has been. The football world has been left in a shock with news of Ronaldo leaving Man Utd. Me? I'm just glad the whole saga is coming to an end. Season after season the whole Ronaldo to Madrid move would start off and we all would be in this state of will he stay or leave. 12 months back Sir Alex Ferguson persuaded and kept him back. But with player who's heart ain't at Old Trafford and who shows dissent at SAF (Man City substitution), then the only alternative is to ship him out and bring in the pounds. Can Man Uts survive without Ronaldo? Hell yeah!!! Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Beckham, Staam, Roy Keane have left and we have still survived and will continue to survive. SAF is a master at building teams and he will do so again. He has thought this one out carefully and has given the signal to sell Ronaldo. £80m for player we bought for only £12m is surely a great price. No doubt Ronaldo is an amazing player but his whinning, attitude and his love for Madrid was getting on everyone's nerves. It was best he left. We now have to look at the future. We have a great youth structure that we can fall back on at any given time. But I'm sure SAF has his eye on the global market as well. With players like Antonio Valencia (Wigan), Frank Ribery (Bayern Munich) and Karim Benzema ( Lyon) beeing linked with Man Utd it is a matter of time before SAF unveils his plan for the coming season. It's time to wait and watch! P.S: What are the odds for a Real Madrid v/s Man Utd Champions League Finals 2010 at the Bernabeu?
