Reports indicate that the United board have made emergency funds available for Fergie to buy a defender. Veron, was supposed to be Fergie's last signing for the club but the crisis has led to the board to change thier minds.
So anyway, whos he gonna get? Early reports say United made a £3M bid for Desailly. This has been denied by Desailly himself though today. Apparently Gallas has a £7M buy out clause in his contract...seen him play a few times, and he looks the business.
There there is Coloccini, the young argentine from AC milan. But it looks as though Alavas have the first option on him @£10M, and they are likely to sell him for a quick profit (sort of thing i do on champ mananager :D)
Anyway, today should see the return of Van Nistelrooy Beckham and Veron.
Apparently Van Nistelrooy said he asked Fergie if he could have the day off against West ham. How can ya blame him? I'd be knackered too if i had to play isolated upfront like he has done for so much of the season.
Solution: Put the kids in again. Give the John O'Shea's a chance. Can they mess it up more than the current lot? Probably not. Have they got something to prove? Certainly. Will they put in 100%? No. They will put in 150%. Which is about 100% more thanthe current lot.

Let's see whether Fergie is actually reading this, seeing as he actually followed my idea last time and put Keane in at the back. Your move Sir Alex!
Would another Club in England even wanna sell Man Utd a player?! Why would anyone want to gift Man Utd a player that can sort out thier crisis. Everybody in the country is loving this! More than likely we will get somebody from abroad.
Is he trying to prove his critics wrong, and show he can handle the pressure from fans?? So he can then be England captain?? HA-fat chance mate!! Beckham's doing the job.
Since we didn't get Sol, sold Stam and got Blanc instead, we should go for Cannavaro, Nesta or maybe Coloccinno. But it really has to be big!! A massive fee like Veron's should have been spent on a partner or Veron, and may have to be now!!
United aren't gunna get a bargain deal now! Big clubs have seen they'll pay nearly £30m for a world-class international, and clubs will now try and get all they can out if United if they approach for a defender. It's not gunna get any better for us if Fergie doesn't move NOW!!!
I think United should have signed Southgate when he was on the transfer list: solid, honest, hard-working defender - and he's English, and a leader. Just what we needed.
