With a fully fit squad we have a lot of depth in defence. We could afford to get rid of a couple and replace them with Evans and Pique. They have more potential to improve and would cost less than keeping older heads like Heinze, Brown and Silvestre who have proven to be unreliable at times. Rossi ahead of Solskjaer would not damage us too much either. Ole has scored some goals this year, but not many important or against quality sides. His energy and speed would be a better option off the bench, especially with the old legs of Giggs and Scholes already in the team. All about taking a gamble I suppose we have done it before, either we use these young players or we will lose them. |

I'd love us to get a top quality striker, winder and midfielder. However, the experiance of the last few summers under glazer suggest that is very unlikely. We have the core of a squad that could on to great things, but it still needs investment. Something those £#%&!ing yank @#%&!s won't do |

Ok then. Realistically:
Hargreaves (£15-20m) Nani (£10m?? Is that about right?) Bale (£8m and add on payment-o-rama) Anelka (£6-8m) This would allow the following players to leave: Heinze (sadly, but I think he has to if Bale comes. £5-7m) Richardson (£2-3m) Silvestre (£2-3m) So, effectively, we get Nani for free with our sales. Budget stretched to about £30m on top of that. |

I'm not convinced about the Et'o rumours myself but my source swears blind that its a goer, he has got a fair amount of stuff spot on in the past so ill give him the benefit of the doubt.
I think more than likely we will be continually linked with him over the summer only for him to go elsewhere, cue Gill and his "we tried" speech. |

Why does winning the league give us more scope to do this? Surely it just raises expectations? I take your point about Rossi/Ole. I think that's the only viable youth/oldie swap that would have no real negative affect on the squad (sorry Ole ) I know Brown et al are unreliable, but we still need experienced back up. It's about getting a blend. These kids need the chance, but I imagine a lot of people on here will run out of patience fast. It's very easy to say 'invest in youth', actually doing it is a different story. You need to take steps back to move forward. Many of our 'give Evans a chance' threads are just above the 'Richardson and Fletcher are £#%&!' threads. |
