An early end of the Ronaldo saga.

Well, if he was going to go we wanted it to be early. Ferguson ideally does his work early in the window, aiming to get players in for a preseason and settled in the area before the season kicks off.

So where to from here? These goals MUST be replaced.

I'd love to see one of Aguero, Benzema or Villa at Man Utd. Benzema is continually linked and he's probably the most likely now but Villa's goals would be my first choice; just look at how Torres adapted.

I think Antonio Valencia will join now, a somewhat direct replacement to Ronaldo on the right but he brings less goals in a more conventional right winger style.

Ribery is heavily linked and I've been vocal in the past against him, I just get this niggling feeling he won't adapt to the pace of the league. Strutting your stuff in Germany is one thing but the Premier League is a different matter.

Nani is being touted as going back to Sporting with Moutinho moving the other way. We do need to bolster the centre midfield but I'm not convinced he's the man.

In defence, I'd love to see Glen Johnson come in at RB, freeing up Wes Brown to be RB/CB cover and allowing Rafael to learn his trade more.

One more thing that I feel is essential. None of the £80m should be spent on Tevez. He should be left firmly in the past at Man Utd. We need better.
