Man united will come back with some great replacement like they always do but will they be good enough to replace Ronaldo , I really doubt it .
Liverpool will most likely take the title next season .

coachie the only reason you’d put Ronaldo above Beckham and Ruud is because Ronaldo is just a more complete player. I think Ronaldo may be the most complete player in the world in fact, he’s just so good in practically every department.

End of the day though the fact of the matter is we’ve had players contribute more to the team than Ronaldo did.

It was only his second season when Ruud put in 44 goals in a season for United.

We’ve had big goal scorers come and go at United so we won’t be missing his goal scoring prowess.

Fact of the matter is as good as Ronaldo is your best off having a more complete team.

We get caught up in this debates about the best player like this isn’t a team sport.

Honestly I’d swap Ronaldo for Xavi and Iniesta in a split second. If United can prop up their midfield with 2 good players and add a good striker they are going to be a significantly better team.

If United can add the likes of ribery and valencia and bring a good striker up front they are going to be significantly more dominant this season.

It’s all about building a more complete team and losing one player is never a big loss its about what you do with the rest of the team that matters.

If United can put in 2 good players in the midfield and perhaps one striker Ronaldos presence wont even be missed at all. In fact United will do even better.

Completely agree with the column, this is Chelski’s prime chance.

JLay, you have to admit that Beckham and Ruud Bwoy, while fantastic players for the club, do not hold a candle to Ronaldo. He has carried the squad for vast stretches of the past few campaigns. I’m pumped to see some of the promising youngsters get a chance to shine, but at this point it does look like Chelski’s time.

Does the sale of a whiny, self-centered primadonna and an influx of £80m really weaken United? People said the same thing when Becks and RVN left – but we’re still here.

Ferguson put this move off for 2 years – don’t think that he’d pull the trigger now without a viable plan B.

My guess? Tevez stays, we grab another winger / striker in the transfer market, and United are a better TEAM next year.

I could’t agree more with your article,as a Chelsea fan it was so frustrating giving away valuable points with regular monotony so cheaply.I think any aquisition this season needs to be quality and preferably with younger fast legs.
