Manchester United has accepted a £80 Million bid from Real Madrid
Well, this is probably not surprising for many United fans even for the neutrals. I had a rather different reaction knowing the news. Kinda surprise still as I remembered he said Real dream is dead when Real got humiliated by Barca. Then I calm down and think properly, and I came to a concludsion as to why he chose to leave. Since United can't beat Barca in the Champions League Finals (Rome), so he may be thinking "Oh, so Real lost to a team that is so strong then I myself couldn't beat that means Real's lost was nothing!" lol
Anyway, let me analyse the aftermath of the transfer. So fellow Football Manager players, what would you do when you got £80 Million ? Buy all the top top stars ? spam all your money around ? That's what the normal person would do but SAF isn't normal. He is Knighted =P . Haha. What I presume he will do is to buy players whom are good but unknown yet or some proven players we didn't thought he would buy. Why ? According to his records in United this 2 decade, he did similar things throughout.
I will name some:
1) Mark Hughes - He was performing very well but was sold to chelsea.
2) Jaap Stam - He was replaced by Laurent Blanc... who ?
3) Famous Beckham - He bought C.Ron to replace then, and do you know him before that?
4) Van Nisterlrooy - He was a goal machine and bought Tevez when everyone wants Villa or Benzema

My guess of the player that SAF wanted to replace C.Ron is probably A.Valencia from Wigan. Man, I've got to disagree with SAF. He may have the ability to play like a star, he isn't the type of player that can win games single-handedly like C.Ron. The past glories United had during the last 3 seasons had so many games that would have lost if not for C.Ron's individual spetacular. If your memory isn't good then let me refer to the season that had just ended:
The Champions League - Quater Finals (vs Porto) who scored the only goal ? (C.Ron) if not for his 40 yarder, where is the Final against Barca ?
Is SAF counting on Valencia on doing this for him ? I dun think so... but I hope its not Tosic or Nani either. Most importantly, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT CONVERTING ROONEY INTO A WINGER TO REPLACE HIM !
I would prefer him to get players like Sneijder, Silva and Joaquin. I know it's difficult. =)
Let's just say United will not be wining as much as last few seasons, I reckon it will take a season or 2 for the team to get balanced again. Hmmm... that means a chance for Ancelotti to triumph, damn. SAF just did a Arsene Wenger when he sold Viera and Henry in my opinion.
Lastly, for the money, I urge fergie to use 1/4 of it to SIGN Tevez and then start your 3rd round of revolution as you wished. That's the least you could do for United Fans.
