£175m for A 32 year old would be a VERY bad idea. £175m for THIS 32 year old would be a great investment. United would end up covering that transfer fee with commercial deals in less than 2 years, Ronnie is rarely injured, scores goals like mental and will probably go on to play at the top level for longer than Giggsy.
Maureen needs goals and Ronnie is one of the best goalscorer in the game.
Now I don't think it's likely that we'll sign him but if he DOES leave Real Madras then United would be fools not to sign him.
We can easily afford his transfer fee and wages and would have lucrative commercial deals on tap.
Personally I think that both the Spanish government and Real Madrid are going to collude together to get him to stay, he brings A LOT more money into that country than just about anyone else, including a great many businesses.
And I certainly wouldn't have said that about Modric, he's overrated imo.
