I'd love to see Jerome Rothen and Phillipe Mexes at United...If there is one superstar that United could buy after failing to sign Ronaldinho...it would be...hhhmmm...i cant seriously think of any...hahaha

How about Joaquin?

I would be excited if we pipped Real Madrid and Chelsea under their noses :mrgreen:
 
Hmmm...I dont think Utd would want to sign Joaquin,in my opinion,C.Ronaldo will be a Joaquin-type of player soon,plus Joaquin is more like a winger,we need some one like Totti.One who plays in the hole...How would it sound like,Totti playin just behind RVN and Saha?...
 
Was on Sky Sports today that Manyoo officials met with Real officials today regarding the transfer of Ruud Van NIstlerooy

Surely theres NO WAY manyoo would let him go?
 
No, not like that!
I'll try to explain it in another way.
Totti would play like Bergkamp (not exactly a midfielder but not a striker) and Scholes would be like Pires (a follow-up player).
Hope that made sense :)
 
kind of! although if that were the case you couldnt have rvn & saha playing but hey i know id rather have totti then saha!
 
Good to hear.
A Ruud/Totti partnership would be awesome, something to the effect of Totti's relationship with Cassano (on-field relationship guys, don't get the wrong idea :D)
 
Man U join Vieri chase Friday 7 May, 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christian Vieri is refusing to comment on his bitter split with Alberto Zaccheroni, but reports suggest he’s in contact with Old Trafford.


“We are ready for a great performance against Parma,” announced the unsettled hitman on ‘Inter Channel’ this afternoon.


“We know it won’t be an easy task, as the Gialloblu are having a wonderful season despite their financial problems. The team must be complimented for this achievement.”


Vieri is by no means certain to start Sunday’s match, as he reacted angrily to being left on the bench in last week’s 2-1 defeat at Lecce.


The striker refused to get off the team bus until 30 minutes before kick-off, then threw a microphone across the room when journalists tried to interview him afterwards.


“Parma are working well,” he continued, “but we also had good training sessions this week and really had fun. I repeat, we are ready for Parma.”


Adriano and Obafemi Martins are struggling with fitness worries, while Alvaro Recoba could be ready for his comeback after suffering a thigh strain.


However, Vieri’s continuing personality clashes with Zaccheroni suggest he will leave the San Siro this summer.


Up until now the press has linked him with Juventus, Roma and Barcelona, but on Friday evening a new theory emerged.


According to reports in Italy, Manchester United have pinpointed the Azzurri hero as the perfect replacement for Ruud Van Nistelrooy.


Vieri already has overseas experience as he was top scorer in his one Spanish season with Atletico Madrid, while he would have no problems settling in to the Premiership as he speaks fluent English from his childhood years in Australia.


The Peninsula press suggests that Manchester United would be willing to pay nearly £14m for the striker who will turn 31 in July.

But it's pretty much impossible Totti would be playing at Old Trafford in his career. :D

I know. It's all just hopeful thinking brought by a budget of 40 million.

I'm pretty confident that the Veiri story won't happen. If it does, I'll know that Fergie and the Man United board have lost their mind. Veiri as Ruud's replacement, never thought I'd ever read such a thing :D.
 
i dont think your budget will be anywhere near 40m unless you ofload some players Gill has already said that they will not be spending big. plus the 40m story came from the sun!
 
this may be true but you are also buisness run by buisness men look at rio paid all that money then a season later the market died? i reaaly dont see united buying a defender of mexes quality though i think if they do get a defender it will be a bench warmer! i really and trully dont think you will spend alot of money unless players leave!
 
i dunno jamie mack, i can see a shake up at old trafford this summer maybe around 3 big (ish) changes whever that leads to ruud leaving i dont know, but i can see some changes being made at old trafford this summer
 
im looking forward to see what this millar kid is like!do you think its another false dawn for a serious replacement for keane. that got to be the priority!? as for defence youll have rio back so brown or oshea will be on the bench do you relly think you need another?
 
yep i do think another defender is needed but only for back up, but dunno about liam miller i hope he will be keanes replacement and just as good but i think it is IMPOSSIBLE to find another roy keane
 
they did say that about robson and got ince they said it about ince and got keane but i just cant see a clear replacement this time!?
 
As time goes by, I'm starting to think that United probably won't bring in big names.

I think a left-back might be brought in. John Oshea does a good job there, but we need cover just in case (Phil Neville isn't cover:P).
 
I am really worried that no big name signings would come to united next season...is it the pressure of playing for such a big club?? Ronaldinho and Robben swayed,Van Der Vaart prefers Barcelona,Mexes even after so long being 'tapped' by Fergie is keeping quiet,Van Buyten prefers City...whats goin on in the world momma!!!!
 
The only big names are rumors so far. And the only rumor that sounds remotely possible IMO would be, Damian Duff Chelsea -> Man Utd.

That's what I also think. It doesn't look like Man Utd will be able to lure any big name players when Abramovich is still around. :l
 
Everyone needs to get off this "we need big signings" bollocks. United have never been a club who buy superstars, we make them. This years CL proves that, no so called big names in the final but both teams took a few Big Scalps on the way.

I believe Ruud will still be in Manchester for the start of next season, but if he wants to go to opposed to the club wanting to sell him then thats life we will get new strikers and move on.
 
I agree, we need to sign players with "Manchester United" mentality, something which this season some player have lacked :- Kleberson, Forlan are the worst offenders.

I would like to think we are in the market for a Left Back, Left Winger and a striker, I would be happy to young players with potential come in as they would probly be bench warmers for most of next season.

I think we missed out on Defoe, wouldn't mind someone like Carlton Cole to come in and learn for us.

Just my two cents,
 
Stuck at work listening to the match on the radio...

We've been playing terrible by the sounds, Gronkjaer just scored...

3rd place it is, we dont deserve 2nd playing like this!!
