I would keep him on, unless we are getting a Winger. If not, foolish to release him. Very foolish.

Because we only make changes on the left side. Yossi for Babel, or vice versa. Pennant isn' affected. He just doesn't play, because Kuyt always does. Nothing to do with Yossi being the sub coming on, only players on the left go off.

Today's Ronny quotes:

Ronaldo - I'll stay with Fergie

Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted that he will not leave Manchester United while manager Sir Alex Ferguson remains at the club.

Ronaldo starred as United retained their Premier League crown this season and the winger has also helped the Red Devils to Wednesday's UEFA Champions League final against Chelsea, a match which can be seen live on Sky Sports 1.

And that form has led to repeated rumours that Real Madrid are considering a record breaking £100million attempt to lure Ronaldo away from Old Trafford this summer.

Ronaldo recently announced that a career in Spain would appeal in the future, but the Portuguese international has dropped the strongest suggestion yet that he will remain in England until United boss Ferguson decides to retire.

Best

"The boss is the reason I am here in the club," Ronaldo - who joined United in 2003 in a £12million move from Sporting Lisbon - said in the News of the World.

"He helped me a lot, not just this season but the seasons before.

"I feel very good at the club. I want to carry on like that. I have many friends here in the club.

"I have been at the club five years and I know everyone now - the staff, the players - and I feel like this is my home."

Prove

Ahead of United's Moscow meeting with Chelsea, it has been suggested that Ronaldo fails to deliver in big games as he has been unable to find the back of the net in nine outings against the Blues.

However, Ronaldo - who was voted the Professional Footballers' Association and the Football Writers' Association Player of the Year - has rubbished the speculation adding: "I am the best.

"I am very happy with my season. I scored 31 league goals. I don't need to show anything to anyone. I won every award. I need to prove nothing.

"When I hear it said that I do not play well against the big teams, it does not annoy me because I know I am the best"

Nasri to Arsenal is the latest rumour. Would be a good replacement for Hleb, but he'd cost a fair amount and would take a lot of time too adjust too as he's so light weight. Also, I don't think he's keen on playing a wide role, and that would be our only use for him as far as first team goes as he wouldn't displace Cesc from the central play-maker role.

Money could be spend more wisely, imo.

Barry is not for sale

The stuff about being the best is brilliant.

Rumours going around that ferguson is set to pay around 10 million for aaron ramsey just to stop him from going to liverpool now as well, I'd like to see ramsey sign for us as he looks very promising but 10 million seems like a hell of alot to be forking out on a guy so young and really unproven thus far.

[T-C]

10 million seems extortianate at this stage, nearly Walcott levels of obscene.

I still want him at United though.

[Adam Anarchy]

Yeah I don't think he's worth paying so much for as good as he seems to be but if it stops him from going elsewhere I guess it's really worth it considering the talent he is said to have. The one team really winning out of this bidding war is cardiff who really are set to make a nice profit on him.

[KME]

A very strong rumor going round that we're going to sign Andrea Dossena. I'd be delighted with that, he's a brilliant passer and crosser, and he's very strong on the ball.

It's been in the Echo too, so it's fairly reliable.

[T-C]

Sounds like he will be going to Pool or Juve, good player, would certainly help Liverpool at left back.
