Getting shut of MSI would be superb. And we definitely need another striker, even if Maucho does arrive, because he will be number 4 or 5 and, realistically, Saha needs replacing. |

Heitinga isn't bad but in the Dutch league it's difficult to tell how he'd do stepping up a couple of levels. |

There aren't exactly rich pickings in terms of full backs or strikers in World football, hence I suggested advertising as situations vacant, we may get some surprises in terms of the players applying for the positions. I think Huntelaar is the way to go in terms of forward, especially as we won't ever get Benzema, supplemented by Welbeck and Campbell we would be sorted for both cover and variation, and we'd be shut of Saha. |

There's one or two in the German league that are worth a look IMO, Mario Gomez being another. |

I'm still far from convinced that United need a striker tbh. If the right player came up then yes we should be in. But the question is who? And we already have the best English forward around, and the top goal-scorer in Europe. On top of that we have Carlitos Tevez who is a bundle of brilliance and inspiration.
Now chuck in Saha, Manucho, Wellbeck and there are possibilities. I also like the look of Federico Macheda. So again, who would fit in on and off the pitch? Full-back is more pressing imo. Danny Simpson does have a chance, and it's a pity he hasn't shown his proper authority in the first team yet. O'Shea is useful cover at left-back. But our undoing last season, as it was always going to be, came in the full-back positions; we basically ran out of players. Can't be arsed trawling out the teamsheets, but it was the full-back areas (in terms of the situations conspiring against the club's full-backs around that period) that cost us the Milan tie imo, for instance. |

I was thinking more of Neville's injury, and Evra picking up knocks for fun. Then add that to Heinze coming back from injury, and then throw in Vidic's clavicle and Ferdinand's groin (or thigh was it?) All in all, our cover was blown - literally. Brown covered inside leaving Fletcher covering Brown covering Neville etc etc |

If Heinze hadn't gifted the goals at OT we'd have gone through comfortably, nevermind the 2 he could be accused of giving away in the San Siro. Useless @#%&!. |

Also, Heinze was a bit unlucky that Kaka did him on the first one, and Evra took him out ridiculously on the second - I've rarely seen a supposedly top class player hit the panic button like Evra did on that goal. |
