I don't think Man U would be better off with another £80m to spend minus Ronaldo. Where would they put that money? They'd need a new RW, but that's about it really, except perhaps for back-up players. So, who'd they spend that cash on to make them a better team? Messi?
Couldn't agree more, why fix something that isn't broken.
But its not a case of "why fix something that isn't broken" - i'm sure Man U don't wonna sell him, and Fergie doesn't want the £80m, BUT if Ronaldo decides he's away, they'll have no option but to fix the fucker.
Which you claim is possible, how can Manchester United replace Cristiano Ronaldo with a replacement who is capable of scoring/assisting the amount of goals he does? As Towelie said, even with 60m you couldn't do that unless you bought someone of similar ability like Messi for e.g What are the chance of that happening?
Your comment was about not fixing it if it aint broken. If Ronaldo wants to leave, it will have to be fixed.
Do you reckon Manure couldnt win the league without him? Yep he's a fuckin awesome player, and almost impossible to replace but other clubs have lost great players, spent the money wisely and still been equally as successful.
You could have similar arguments for Henry at Arsenal, Owen at Liverpool or Van Nistelrooy at Man U.
Ronaldo is still young, as opposed to Van Nistelrooy and Henry. Owen was still fairly young when he left Liverpool, but he was very injury-prone instead, something Ronaldo isn't.
And what you said was "Imagine how good Man Ure would be if they had another £80m to spend, dare say they wouldn't miss Ronaldo that much." We're arguing that they would be worse off without Ronaldo but with the £80m.
