Splashing the cash
Somebody somewhere has got cash. But it ain't me by a long chalk.
Manchester United have accepted a bid of £80 million for Cristiano Ronaldo, from Real Madrid, the team he was linked to last summer. This news comes just a couple of weeks after Ronaldo told the world he wasn't going anywhere. That said, his signing on fee alone would mean never having to kick a ball again.

It really doesn't seem that long ago since Trevor Francis caused a stir by becoming Britain's first £1 million player. Hm well, it is thirty years, I suppose, but even so that's some inflation!
