yea i know he hasn't been too prolific of late, but he is top foward when i good form & if we want to challenge Chelsea for the title if he gets back in form could be useful.

Other than that we need to sign some more strikers & mid-fielders i.e Carrick if they can get him from the spurs, Vieira & Ibrahamovic if Juve gets relegated, Gilardino if he wants to come to England, Torres if he want sot come to England.

Rooney, Van Nistelrooy, an in form Saha....Think Man Utd are fine as far as world class attackers go.

Need a world class midfielder desperately though i feel.

And some defence.

 

[roseboy64]

Defence looks good to me. Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic and Heinze is a very good back four. Man Utd had the second best defensive record last season if I'm not mistaken. Central midfield is the problem.

 

[Pothas]

and upfront if you get rid of Van Nistelrooy

There is a thing called the edit/delate button?

Just kidding, it happens to the best of us .

 

[sledger]

the only one of those i can seriously see man utd getting is carrick, not sure why they would really want any of the rest of them bar torres anyway as theyre all overated or past it, not that vieira would ever seriously consider joining man utd anyway.

 

[Craig]

From what I read and watch of Zlatan he seems to be more the creator then the scorer, and scoring is one aspect he needs to improve on (and his temper). As for Gilardino, 46 goals in about 73 goals at Parma shows he has some pedigree about him, his first season was a struggle at a bigger club, and this season will make or break it for him IMO.

And what the hell am I doing defending a Juventus or Athletic & Cricket Milano players?

So you want Rooney, a supremely in-form van Nistlerooy and more strikers?

For the record, I don't think van Nistlerooy will play there again - you don't cross "Sir" Alex and get away with it.

Are you trying to say he doesn't deserve knighthood? Don't talk rubbish.

As for you main point about RVN, though, agreed.

 

[cpr]

To be fair, i dont think Ruud had crossed Fergie as much, it was more a falling out with Ronaldo and Fergie had to intervene. Ruud and Ronaldo have agreed to put it behind them, so Fergie has no reason to continue the spat.

We need some midfielders, thats for sure. Scholes is not the player he used to be (and his opponents are twice the players they were), Fletcher/O'Shea is not the answer to any holding role. We've been linked with Carrick and Mascareno (sp?), so thats a good sign. Torres is meant to be in the middle of a tug of war between us and Chelsea. We DO need another attacker, look at 1999 when we had the 4 rotating. 3 isnt enough, incase one (or 2 as has seemed to happen to us last season) get injured.


And on the Gossip front, remember United sacked the doctor in the Rooney/England row?? Well word around Old Trafford is that the England doctor is retiring after the WC, and this guys been lined up for the job, so it was a conflict of interest between employer/future employer, and fergie got wind of it and saw red. Be interesting to see if he does pop up in the England set up in August....

Yea hopefully we can get Carrick at least, since Zokora is going to the spurs it might help United cause. Also if the case in serie A reaches a stage where major clubs are relegated there is a chance Vieira could come, doubt whether we could get Pirlo since its not common for Italian players to the premiership.

Others outside options are Diarra & Ribery i guess..

Good point, we need strong depth in case of injuries i.e last season & if we are going to challenge Chelsea who have superb strenght in fowards

No, he doesn't deserve a knighthood when there are many other managers who did similar or better things when the PM didn't try to look cool and hand out honours to win votes.

If Brian Clough didn't get one, then Fergie certainly shouldn't have one - unless, of course, it's paid for with the same cheque book he used to buy the title all those times..

Nor did Bob Paisley get one and I think he won three European Cups. And who was Villa manager when they won it?

Usual pro-Man U ******** that got Fergie a knighthood, sick sick sick

**** Barton, Special Agent

All right, filter.

Didn't realise you were an Aston Vanilla supporter.

Sorry Eddie you've lost me, but if you were referring to me, I am certainly not an Aston Vanilla supporter!

 

[roseboy64]

Fergie's been the most successful British manager ever IMO. Winning the Treble isn't easy and United earned their money not like Chelsea. That's in relation to Marc's chequebook comment. Success begets reward and hatred.

No, I was accusing the filter of being an Aston Vanilla supporter because it wouldn't let me cast nasturtiums at one of their former managers.

(it was in reply to your quiz question asking who the manager was at the time)

But the original success only came about after spending money!
