Ronaldo’s Reign At An End As United Agree Fee

Filed under: Transfers - Posted by: Mark

He’s off then. United have this morning announced that a staggering world record fee of £80 milllion has been agreed with Real Madrid for the services of Ronaldo.

The player will now travel to Spain to discuss terms for a transfer that is likely to kick-off a chain of big money moves.

For fantasy managers it’s an end of an era. A turning point – particulary in the Fantasy Premier League game – a game which Ronaldo threatened to break single handedly with his weekly double figure points hauls. It looks as though we’re all have to start thinking about our choice of captain again.

Much more on this later.

    You mentioned earlier that you bought him at 5.5. Since he is now valued at 6.0, it means you sell him for 5.7 »

“Alex Chamberlain played three games for the first time in his career. He had a stiff neck at half-time, so I did not want to take a gamble with him. Then we had a problem with Koscielny, and I wanted to give some playing time to Benayoun.”

Arsene Wenger explains why Van Persie wasn't substituted in the 7-1 win over Blackburn following pre-game talk of the Dutch hitman needing rest
