i would be devastated to see ruud leave, he is worldclass and one of the best strikers in the world.
as for him being lazy i would say i agree to an extent but the way we play and especially with the greediness of Ronaldo he just doesnt seem to want to make the same sort of runs because he knows he wont get the ball.
For 18 months - 2 years he has made great runs never to see a cross from the right or the left, or a throughball he basically lives of scraps, on top of that this season he has had to do a lot of donkey work due to not even getting thr few through balls from scholes etc he used due to us having no midfield in the centre.
At the end fo the day i can see why a player of his calibre would get lazy and apathertic, take henry for example he always wants the ball and arsenal always want to give him it, Ruud wants the ball and no one will pass to him.
got to be heartbreaking for him as i think with ruud on top form and getting the service we would be a lot closer to chelsea.
but instead of Fergie getting on at ronaldo for being ball greedy etc, he is getting at ruud to the point where it seems ruud has snapped.
However if he goes, then i think we wont need to replace him, people are saying rossi, rooney, saha. however there are 2 players yer missing out.
Alan smith who is a way better striker than midfielder and did superbly upfront at the beggining of the season in the absence of Ruud and Rooney, and we have the old warhorse in solskjaer.
Personally I would like to see ruud stay and although I have been an ardent fan, i would see ronaldo leave. use the money to bring in a unselfish winger or two and then strengthen the middle of the park. I said this last year that we should have signed Jermaine pennant and i dont think he would make a bad signing now either.
