HAHAHA great article mate. Made my day. I’m a Newcastle fan, but I’d buy United season tickets to see Gemma run up and down my flanks.. I mean the flanks. In all seriousness, haven’t United signed Adem Ljajic, the Serbian Maradona/Kaka/Ronaldo/Best/Messi depending on which day of the week it is and which paper you read. Fergie will probably splash out on a world class player in a different position and build a whole new team as he is oft to do

Well, its difficult to find a “perfect” replacement for CR7 but if, in case, he is leaving, there is no other go.. I hv heard of a quite underrated player in Sevilla’s Jesus Navas whom i believe is a cheap n best buy…whatsay guyz??

Well if I have to choose I’ll go for Gemma. We need someone who’s big and robust up-front.

What do you mean Tony Silva?? There are plenty that resemble Ron as a sportsman..Greg Louganis for instance or any french pantomime artist.
Just add 7 litres of used cooking oil to their hair, spray on tan and fake wink and Bob’s your uncle…

There is no replacement to CR7… There isn’t a player in the World that resembles Ronaldo.

If ManUtd were “forced” to get a replacement, they would have to change their tactics, and there for get a “different” player….

well in my opinion the replacement could be Fergie himself, for the simple fact that he’ll get to pork gemma every night, i think she’s the special juice that made ronaldo as good… i think anyone would be able to play as well as him if it meant they get to date here… i think i might even put away 60 goals a season if it ment i got to jump in there hahahahha

I hope Ribery will replace Ronaldo at Manchester United

I hope it’s Ribery for the simple fact that he would make United, hands down, the ugliest looking team in the Premiership. Don’t get me wrong, I love Manchester United and will root for them no matter what. However, Ribery’s scary mug would go perfectly with some of the nasty ones we already have. Ones like Rooney (who’s been compared to Shrek), Ferdinand (who looks like Ramon, the guy who does those – uh- movies), Kuszczak (who really does have a little pig nose), Neville (who has that sleazy moustache thing going), Vidic (who has the psychotic look down pat), Nani (who looks like an fugly “Thriller” era Michael Jackson), and a re-signed Tevez (who looks like he fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down). Who needs a matinee idol whose going to parade around in his bare-chest and excite all the ladies (and some of the men) in the audience? We have Giggs for that!
