I still think Barca are Ribery's prefered option, and we definitely have the war chest to get him, so I wouldn't get too hopeful United fans - especially seeing as Ribery has announced he doesn't want to play in England.

Nobody is writing Man Utd off...well I'm not anyway. However, losing the best player on the planet will hurt any team, and all those players you mentioned were, although extremely well talented, nonetheless not on the same level or anywhere near the level of Ronaldo. You could tell by the body language last season that Ronaldo was not 100% focused at times, yet he still scored more goals than any of your other players. His influence will be missed, and time will tell if you manage to fill such a large and influentual void left in the wake of his departure. We have seen players from other European leagues excel (Torres for example), yet many others flop (Veron, Forlan, Schevchenko etc)...so nothing is guaranteed. I must admit I don't like Man Utd, naturally because of the rivalry, and I hope your team suffer, yet only time will tell. |

Cantona was more of an influence on Utd than Ronaldo, how can anyone seriously suggest otherwise, come on FFS! |

Bayern president has come out and said that 45m is only enough for Ribery's arm and leg so ye that tells you everything. Man Utd have recovered from setbacks before but this is an entirely new scenario because never before have United lost a player so young and so important as Ronaldo. |

Cantona was sheer class, but Ronaldo had more of an impact, culminating in the best season for a premiership player since the league began. So you 'come on' Cantona didn't score anywhere near as many goals, he was like Bergkamp...created goals and assists out of literally nothing...great players...but not the best. |

But what I'm saying Homer is replacing Ronaldo is more or less just about replacing the penetration on the wing and the goalscoring if we can do that well that's 90% of Ronaldo replaced. With someone like Cantona or Keane leaving that leaves a bigger hole a much deeper whole throughout the whole club, it's like cutting the heart out of Man Utd and let me tell you, Ronaldo is not the heart and soul of our club, he's our weapon and weapons can be replaced much easier. Granted Ronaldo is so good that he has to be replaced with 2 top players but we can get those players. |

We lost Cantona - our best player at the time and our playmaker. We lost RVN - the scorer of most our goals. We lost Beckham - set piece taker and assist leader. We lost Keane - our best at the time, our captain and our ball winner. We lost Hughes, ince and Kanchelskis at once - CM, RM and CF. We don't need to replace him like for like but just evolve the team/squad again. I think its partially wishful thinking that we will not cope. It may take a year or so but im confident. I even said 2 weeks ago that i would be very surprised if we won the league next year. |

We lost Keane and RvN in a matter of months and those two left a bigger hole than Ronaldo is likely to leave and we won the title in the next season! Just goes to show that it's not impossible, we are already champions which is what's the difference and we are losing ONE PLAYER, I don't care how good Ronaldo is but that doesn't mean we are automatically going to struggle. FFS a couple of players here and there and we will still be absolutely formidable opponents and serious title challengers. |

Top post Ant, everyone needs to wait and see how fergie spends the money before deciding whether it's good or bad for united. Ribery and Villa/Benzema would arguably make us stronger |
