How does one replace a World Player of the Year? Well, you simply don't. But life needs to go on and for many Manchester United fan, it's terribly disconcerting to read about how Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City are actively harvesting the greater lights in the game while we wait for Sir Alex to showoff his kitty. But until the ink is dry on the Ronaldo agreement, don't expect any major announcement...
First and foremost, there's a reason for setting a deadline... technically the English transfer window opens in July. Secondly, I'd wait to cash the cheque from Madrid, just to be safe. Thirdly, the market is in a frenzy - better wait for it to calm down several notches.
So, while the oil monies and Spanish Euros are being generously circulated, I wouldn't hold my breath for any football news coming from Old Trafford except the state of Owen Hargreaves knees...
