Not me. Great player but £25.5m needed is too much for a player who will play second fiddle to Rooney and Berba + whoever, even in silly market era. (but his family like Manchester).

Good player though, no doubt about it.
£25.5m

Ronaldo is a simply huge loss, as much as i hate him...he has almost single handedly gained points for Utd in the past two seasons. (the goals against the likes of Stoke, Villa and Porto cam from nowhere when it looked like Utd wouldnt win).
Also Van De Sar, Scholes, Giggs, Neville all look a bit too old to be relied on IMO ( Foster looks a good replacement for VDS though.)
Anderson isnt great, Nani is hit and miss and Berbatov could go either way. So i defo think he has a lot to do, but no doubt he will pull a few names out the hat (money talks!)
Anderson is awesome, my second fav player way better than that Lucas shit you got who was meant to be "top player in Brazil". Nani has shown what he 'can' do but lost out to Park this season and affected his momentum/forum. We saw with Tevez how a few bench games/missing big matches made him moan about it when he actually played more than games Berba.
What about all your dead wood? Aurellio, Voronin, NGog, Lucas, Ryan Babbel, Insua, Rierra, Dossena, El Zahar. Sure Fat waiter will clear some out but replace them with more of the same. Yossi's end season form doesn't convince either. Keane flopped too.

I really cant see him staying with Utd.
Could go any way at the moment though. As for the money we have, nobody really knows our true budget, which is a good thing IMO. The reports we had last week about the interest payments wouldnt have been unexpected to Rafa and the owners, so it wouldnt have changed the plans one little bit.
I expect we will spend around £45m and sell players to the value of about £15m. Not in Chelsea/Utd/City league, but enough to improve us i'd say.
Spend £45m with potential of £60m? HA HA HA HA BWAH HA HA

They have obviously had to prove that the club can repay this loan over a certain period, and it's up to the banks to decide if it's a good idea or not.
New stadium S T A R T S in 2012 doesn't it?

Yes that's right, just like the Sun tells everyone to think, a squad who won 4 trophies + a final is doomed because one player is being sold! Scholes and Neville didn't play, neither did Nani much.
