CR7 departs Old Trafford

Well, the biggest transfer news in football - Cristiano Ronaldo leaves United.

Hmm.. some thoughts I'd like to share.

First off, i think its time for him to leave. Any self-respecting united fan would concur with me. we just cannot stand the nonsense seasons after seasons... its better the "source" leave. After all, the team is bigger than any single player.

Second, what is likely to happen after CR left? If recent history is any indication, I'd say not much impact. Cantona left, united went on to win the historic treble; beckham left, united continued winning; van nistelroy left, united still dominated; roy keane left, united still won the Champions League and Premier League.... note that the players I mentioned were super dominant in the team, super high profile during their time there..., etc.

But United continues to be a winning team. There is only 1 obvious constant over the years.... yes... the General - SAF aka Sir Alex Ferguson. He is the MAN. As long as he is in charge i feel as comfortable as any decent fan can feel. I liken feeling to be when Michael Jordan was with the Chicago Bulls - you kinda feel nothing can go too much wrong.

my prediction for next season? United - Champions of England, again. Liverpool - battling in relegation zone.
