With Nani on the other wing and Rooney behind Ronaldo what can go wrong. I think utd should buy a top winger instead, and play Ronaldo up front next season.

We don't need tantrums and attitude; we need team players. We have Manucho; and he's young, talented, malleable, and doesn't have an attitude. I'm not averse to Michael Owen,if the price was right, and he was fit. I can't see him playing day in and day out, at his age and with his medical history. But I'd be interested to see what he could do with a brilliant squad and manager behind him, rather than mediocre ones. Seems very very expensive and probably too much trouble for the price.

Lets not all buy into the concept that a player over 21 is too old. Cantona was 26 when we bought him, and Sheringham was 31! for god sake and he was Ok in our last champions league final. Ruud was 25! when we signed him, we do have to live for the now at times and not have to spend lots of money at promise. Lets not get obsessed by age ps I am 31!!!

Berbatov is a moan and sulk even though he has the class and fits the bill. Have not seen much of this Fabiano but i think he may lack strength & power for the english league. As for my cheeky bid, go for Drogba!!! he wants to leave Chelsea and he would be the exact striker we require,. I think we should give Wellbeck & Manucho a chance.

He is the most arrogant and delusional player in world football. United take pride in their team mentalitly so this rediculous ego wouldn't fit in at all. This is a man who reguarly proclaims himself as 'the best in the world', throws on field hissy fits, constantly bad mouths his own team mates and club staff, (just last month lambasting his current manager for daring to substitute him for playing poorly). Add to this his embarrasing petulance, constant diving, referee abusing and gamesmanship.... he is not the sort of person you want to add to the united squad. Technically supreme, fast powerful and lethal in front of goal but as a person he is just a disgrace , too much for even Fergie to handle. If he is not the centre of attention for a single minute he will tear the club apart. This may sound like I am overreacting but seriously anyone who follows la liga beyond the onfield results will tell you about the imfamous Luis Fabiano, to see what he is like for yourself have a look at his fight with Carlos Diogo on youtube!

I think we should forget about him. He will probably end up going to Italy or Spain. Huntelaar looks good on paper, and he scores for fun in the dutch league...but then so did Kezmen, Kujt and a bunch of others. He's also not going to fit into a fluid, attacking style of play. Good player, but not worth the gamble at 15+ million which is what he is bound to cost. Plus, he doesn't want to leave either... Owens....ok, this has to be a joke. Why on earth do we want another crock player when we've suffered two seasons with Mr Glass? Owens makes Saha look like iron man. Besides, he's vermin - and his best days are over. He doesn't even score regularaly anymore. Definite NO! Fabiano - Hmmm...interesting player, but the price is a stumbling block. No worth more then 15 million if you ask me, but other then that he's got quality. Pace and an eye for goal. Also shouldn't have a problem settling in with the international contingent we have currently. Berbetov - Again, price is a factor. Plus the prima donna worry and how he will jell in a team where Ronaldo is #1 and pace and counter attacking is the name of the game. Saha needs to go, there's no doubt about that...but the next player we bring in should fit into our championship winning side and not the other way around. E'too might have been a good fit, but i think SAF wants a tall, powerful striker... Manucho should be given a shot. Also, we should take a look at Jo (Brazilian Adebeyor). He might not be the finished article, but there is a good chance he will be a star player for the Brazilian team of the future. Benzema has repeatedly stated he does not want to play in England.
