I just cant agree that Iniesta is as good as Ronaldo. He did have a great season but were it not for an incompetent Norwegian, his name would not be on peoples lips.
Ronaldo is special because he is one guy who can individually dominate a match. Were it not for his petulance, he would be rated in the same teir as the worlds greatest.
Other examples of teams thinking they could replace their superstars:
Milwaukee Bucks trading Kareem Abdul Jabbar
Edmonton trading Wayne Gretzky
The Twins trading Rod Carew

Their smaller team sports though, the less players you have on a team the more it impacts when a player leaves specially a star player. What i'm trying to say about Ronaldo is that yes he's a top player but imo not a team player and I don't think it will effect United as much as people think.
