136 million pounds/160 million Euros/220 million dollars/1063 crore rupees!
That is how much Real Madrid have spent in 3 days for TWO players and arguably the best players in the world. However, there's a difference. Kaka can play in any club and still be the best. Ronaldo, well, when he first arrived at Manutd let's just say he was Nani with better step overs.
Football will never be the same again if players are bought and sold at outrageous prices. Where are the Maldinis, the Scholes', the Gerrards?
Bought at 12m and sold at 80m. Ronaldo's value has increased 6 times in a matter of 5 years and surely credit for that (partially, if not fully) goes to SAF. From a diving, winking baby,
It'll be hard to say he'll be missed but SAF clearly has his task cut out to find a replacement for CR7. The same was said when Beckham and Nistelrooy were sold, and they were quickly forgotten. This will DEFINITELY be the case with Ronaldo too. Karim Benzema or David Villa at the front with Rooney/Tevez and Ribery and Valencia on the wings will be more than enough to fill the void created by Ronaldo.
With 80m from Ronaldo's sale(which is said to be a football deal rather than a commercial deal) and the yearly transfer kitty of 20-30m pounds, SAF can easily buy who he wants to. Apart from this, Fergie could get more if he plans to sell Nani & Fraizer Campbell. So if everything is added up, United have atleast 100m pounds to spend. Ofcourse, Fergie is no Abramovich or Perez. He'll buy players only if he needs them and will not think twice if they are worth their tags.
Ronaldo will definitely get lost in the oblivion of SUPERSTARS at the Bernabeu. His prissy fits for not getting the ball will definitely not work because the game will not be centered around him. He will not find the joy of getting booed and marked by at least 2 defenders. If Ronaldo seriously thinks he's going to get a situation at Real Madrid where his team mates will be doing the donkey work for him as has happened at United in the past couple of seasons he needs to think again.Ronaldo will find it much tougher in Spain than he might think because if he hasn't got the hard workers around him then he won't get as much time to work his undoubted magic.
Enough said, he probably gave everything, won everything he possibly could, and left the club at his peak.
Atleast the EPL has seen the best of Ronaldo. I only pity the LA liga for what is to ensue. To the 2nd best league in the world. Viva Ronaldo!

Ronaldo went on to win the Ballon d' Or and umpteen number of accolades and clearly became one of the best football players in the past 2-3 years.
