now every1 will jack up the price knowing that MU got 80mil

and dun be so sure about AW, i mean dun play play with Perez, this man able to do things u never think of

Yeay,,,,,,gud news. Ronaldo nearly OFF

actually there is not all that much to be joyful about coz they still have rooney, rio, vidic.. and 80 million to buy other players.

and we are not affraid of anyone of them...for sure

really now? not even the 80 million worth of potential buys like silva, villa, benzema...? oh screw it. wat do i care abt mu? i only care abt us!! =) so is that dutch guy(cant seem to spell his name) coming or wat?

I don't see the joy in Ronaldo leaving really. Man Utd now have the opportunity to build an even stronger team without Ronaldo than with Ronaldo IMO. They will not only have the money to replace Ronaldo but the likes of the waning Giggs, Scholes, and Neville as well to name a few. The possibilities are endless with 80m....

It will be really interesting to see who they sign now in the summer.

Exactly.

80M is crazy money... Arsene could build an entire new team with that.

Ribery was the name that surfaced no so long ago, and maybe MU could get him to replace Ronaldo. Similar style players, although Ribery tends to pull strings for his team while Ronaldo, when on fire, is pretty much a one-man destroyer.

I'm not too bothered with this news to be honest, as financially speaking we're never going to compete with any of those big boys to begin with, let alone now with a 80M shopping cart around. Big bucks will always talk louder, like how Milan is reportedly hijacking our Dzeko interest with their newfound cash. Don't be surprised if MU does the same to us and other clubs, using their swelling wallet to tempt other teams into submission.

And as with everybody else, I wonder where does RM get all those money.
46+80 =126M, and that's just only 2 players.

LOL at the title of this:

"Double Dutch"...seriously?

Grab Huntelaar from RM? Naaaaahhhhh... We've got Dudu the finisher, and gut feelings says even if Ade leaves we'll stick by Robin/Dudu/Nicky with Andy doing some cameos, while Vela and Theo continue to develop. The price tag for strikers are horrendously over the top these days, and unless we do another Arshavin it's unfathomable for us to get someone of Benzema/Villa's fame.

van der Vaart seems like a good prospect but with Fabs as our main playmaker while Andy/Robin play their equally important role in creating chances, how the heck are we going to field another central creative player? Sneijder might be an options for the wings, but Nasri and Andy will be duelling for those places too, plus Sneijder's price tag won't come cheap.

My bets will be on ribery and benzema. MU has the reputation of getting these kinda "hot stars". Seriously 80m pounds for a player is a bloody lots of money. Perez is really something to fork out this sum. And frankly speaking i dont think c.ronaldo worths that much 40-50million pounds maybe...but 80?? *shakeshead*....Anyway, so MU will get 80m pounds to spend this summer. I hope they will get 2 more Berbatovs with those money

like it or not... real madrid is the biggest club in the world.... and u know who made it big? PEREZ... he was the one that took real madrid from top 10 to top 3 in the world. where they got their money? well.. to contest in Presidential election for Real Madrid, you need at least 50M euro in liquidated assets (mean cash la!). that's one thing for sure.

And Perez has good connections with banks all over the world. i'm sure he can raise 200M financing in a jiffy.

now.. stay off CESC!

David Villa, Silva, Albiol, etc... These guys are young, internationals and either have established themselves or have huge potential. Surely a decent negotiator at Valencia or their agents themselves will try to get the most out of these guys based on current market value.

Yes they are broke, but negotiation is about trying to find a middle point isn't it? And I have a feeling that even at so called bargain prices, these guys would still be too expensive for us paupers!

ok.. now RM already got their wing man and AM... they'll go for striker next. Adebayor for 30m? ehehehehe

First thing first , I dont care about our attacking force since Arshaving arrived.Arsenal have put at least a goal each game since he arrived(except ineligible game) but the problem is the defense of Arsenal.

Vermaelan which should be bought for 11m from Ajax is not even 6 feet tall which is the main problem for Arsenal to face free kicks,crosses,corner kicks and other potential height ball.

Arsenal should be able to fill the gap of DM in no time soon with more players coming in and more promising youth team in Arsenal.

Now is the aerial problem.Let Chelsea's defender alone enough to destroy arsenal aerial zone.The one last gap to fill in before Arsenal can achieve a minimum of Cup or best of all the invincible season

vermaelen is 6ft1in ler... arseblog.com confirms this.

Pity pity... in 1999, I'm still in Kedah and just started watching Arsenal/Football

You got right Good observation you got there

My gf is the one hiding behind the "pillar"

Maybe we should start calling AW as James Wenger


OK, my say on CR's 80M move to RM.
This is a THREAT to us (if we are looking into the transfer market)!
MU has achieved everything with CR and it's a wise move to sell him for profit before the heat subsides.

With money on their hands, they will have upper hands to fight for players. Remember, if we are buying, we will mostly be buying experienced ones - similarly to MU, they are looking for experienced players to at least replace CR.

well, this article may shed some light on how real madrid can afford to buy such expensive players.

No, i don't think 80 million is for the purpose to buy other player, remember MU debt almost 700 million, i think most of the 80 million will be spend toward that.

maybe its because i rate ronaldo differently,
till ribery and all the players are proven a success in MU
id still be happy that ronaldo left
football is a team game,but this guy here had single handedly won games himself for MU countless times(reminds me of Henry)....of course as an Arsenal fan its not a nice thing to see
well,only time will tell...we will see what will MU make out of the 80m

Wah...then la liga is getting more interest!!! All the good player almost move to La Liga...wondering next CL got any english team manage to go final again...As Arsenal fans, we hope Arsenal can do that, but...we know the facts..
