So with the shocking news Hargreaves is signing!!!

We should sign Arteta and Gravesen

And I think we will sign Bent and let Saha go.

Which I would be happy with - I think if he can step up, Bent would be a great signing for the side and how they play at the minute.

*One of those is a joke

i think united would do better with a flexible attacking midfielder/attacker, given that we haven't really played out and out wingers for a while now and that we need a replacement for giggs, who mainly plays a (very loosely defined) central role. we need someone to fit into that three that has been rooney, ronnie and ryan this year. ideally they'd begin with 'r'. i'd have gone for resley schneider, but i suspect it will be rossi. as long as he gets his chance i think that would be fine, tbh. he certainly has the talent.

Nani could be an option for that, as he isn't really an out and out winger. In fact, there has been some suggestion that he could end up as a no.10 in the future. He doesn't tend to hug the touchline anyway, so he's not in the Simao/Quaresma style of wide players. I think as a player he'd be a good fit for United, it's just whether he's the best option in terms of still being a little raw and perhaps not likely to make a huge impact in his first season.

Todays M.E.N says he signed last Wednesday. I've heard the same elsewhere.

A title ? I'd like to think that would make a difference.

Not saying it will, but I'm hopeful we'll spend around £25m net this summer.

The report that came out last week said he was set to sign. As the last line of this article from yesterday's A-BOLA says, it still has not been signed.

What do M.E.N know anyway - They've printed a picture of 'Nani' and they've got the wrong bloke - he's not even the right skin colour !

There is a way of bringing an end to the confusion surrounding Nani ...

We should £#%&! him off and pop down to the Arse to get Van Persie instead, he's wasted in that team.

Bit of a @#%&! and next to no chance of getting him, but him Rooney and Ronnie behind one main striker would be fantastic.
