80 mil not bad business, but im pretty gutted that one of the best players in the world is leaving both Utd and the premiership.

Dont think it will effect Utd winning the Premier league again next season but it means the 2 best teams in Europe wont be from the Premier League. He will be replaced by 2/3 players of 80% his ability so maybe domestically United will be stronger.

Without Ronaldo and Tevez Utd simply have to strengthen, which with £80m in the bank shouldnt be a problem. So i expect they will be just as strong.

Real Madrid will need to buy a lot more than Kaka and Ronaldo to be at the level of Barca/United/Chelsea/Liverpool IMO.

There back four is pretty poor, apart from Marcelo who i rate highly.
Gago is shit in midfield, Diarra is very good however.
And there strike force isnt great either.

Those are just players from the starting eleven, the squad needs drastic improvements.

Agree with Bud-Weis.....

Current Madrid side is the worst for many many years imo and miles away from the Zidane/Figo/Ronaldo etc team of 6yrs or so ago.

Obviously Kaka and Ronaldo are gonna make a big improvement on the team, but I too think their defence is poor and their still along way off being one of the best sides in Europe.
