Glazers giving Fergie £100m transfer kitty 
£100million to burn
Sir Alex Ferguson has been handed a £100million transfer fund by Manchester United after he personally gave the order for Cristiano Ronaldo to be sold to Real Madrid. And United last night prepared to enter a bidding war with Chelsea for France international Franck Ribery which could go as high as £65m. Old Trafford boss Ferguson is also known to have Lyon’s £25m forward Karim Benzema on his hit list and he hopes to conclude the £16m signing of Wigan’s Antonio Valencia in the near future. Far from being reluctant to allow Ronaldo to leave, Ferguson actively encouraged the deal once he was made aware of the massive £80million fee. It is also understood that the entire proceeds of the deal will be made available along with Ferguson's annual £20m transfer budget. Wigan’s Ecuador winger Valencia has long been a Ferguson target and he will almost certainly join shortly while the United manager has not yet given up on persuading Carlos Tevez to stay on a long-term deal. As well as Benzema, Ferguson’s hit-list includes Barcelona holding player Yaya Toure. It is, however, the prospect of United going head to head with Chelsea for Bayern Munich’s Ribery that looks the most mouthwatering. Bayern have already indicated the 26-year-old is not for sale and it will take an offer of around £65m for the Frenchman to be prised away.

Makes you wonder why there hasn't been some mention of him as part payment for Ronaldo given the amount of links we've had recently.

I was at the CL game when lyon came to OT. He played as a lone striker and tore vidic and ferdinand to pieces. He looked excellent and would only improve in a better team playing at a faster pace
His pace and power made him similar to torres, just not as good

I thought it would have been 70million plus him. He's obviously going to play very rarely now with all the players infront of him, RVN will be leaving also.
But imo i think we should sign him. He's a striker and scored alot of goals in the dutch (pub) league, but i don't think he'd be a flop like alfonslow alves

Not really, the debt has never stopped us operating how we have for years before the yankees came in. So although it is a substantial amount, it's not something to worry about as far as the fans are concerned imo
It's probably in a comparative sense a very similar level of debt to the scum when you take into account how much united bring in through ticket sales etc compared to the ticket revenue with anfield being much smaller
