All this talk of a new striker, where will they play?

A benzema villa etc Rooneys understudy?

nani and Valencia have been quality as wingers/433 451.


surley any player for up front would have to be rotated?

Dont see a big signing wanting that.


a big signing would be more likely for Midfield ?

Thoughts.

442

Yeah, so we just stick with Rooney and then when Rooney gets injured/is tired, we're £#%&!ed?

If we signed a top class out and out striker it would take pressure off Rooney and he could be rested more. We could also play 2 strikers at times.

If we signed a quality midfielder and striker we could play 4-4-2 and go to hard away games confident we could win. That would also give us the option of reverting to a 4-3-3 with Rooney dropping to the left.

We wont see a striker. We'll get an attacking midfielder (who plays in the middle) and a goalkeeper.

I dont disagree, doubt a top signing would though. Personally would like macca to be given a go keep owen and spend on a couple of midfielders.

We'd probably get him cheap. He's not doing much since Setanta went bust. Could link up well with Owen.

Neither can I.

I highly doubt United will sign a forward at all this summer in any scenario, including one where Berbs is sold and Rooney is knackered from running himself into the ground for a solid year.

i think we need to sign an up and coming young striker who is potentially very good and wont mind sitting on the bench a lot.

seen alot of andy carroll this season at newcastle and hes look very good, big strong striker, good in the air, eye for a goal. talk of him as an outside chance of going to the world cup. shouldnt cost more than 8-10m or possibly swap for carrick

He's absolute shite. We'd be better off with Jackie Milburn.

Carroll has had quite a few problems off the pitch. It's a massive step up from the championship. Many players have filled there boots in that league and done £#%&! all when promoted. You only have to look at the likes of Ebanks-Blake, Nugent and Chopra to know it's not worth the risk.

has anyone said up front yet?

This isn't the Fred I used to know.

A shout for Andy £#%&!ing Caroll ffs

I'd rather we get Jan Åge Fjørtoft.

Hmmm, someone like Macheda ?

Andy Carroll ffs

i bet you dont even know who he is

poor management on your part possibly?

James Milner and Andy Carroll

The dream ticket.

Not really, Bernard Tapie took over as chairman and felt an offer of £3.3m for Steven Taylor was too good to turn down. Then the fans felt that me selling Taylor was a poor piece of judgement on my part

Managed to keep them up on the last day two seasons running, now pushing for a european place.
