hes better that nistelrooy, he would be the best signing they could make as they have a lot of bargaining power due to the 10mill they are owed and lazio's finances being up poo creek. If i was ferguson i would try and get the following:

Crespo for veron +a bit of the stam money

im a veron fan but he was a completely unnecessary signing as their midfield is top notch.

sell Barthez (6mill) by either Marcos or rustu for 4 mill

SEll phil Neville 3/4 mil and wes Brown 6mil and buy kevin Hofland (12mil)

buy Van der meyde 4mil

Sack laurent blanc

Buy wayne bridge 8mil

total outlay
£28mil

total income:

21mil (including about 3 mill from stam)
Line up:

Rustu
Bridge
Ferdinand
Hofland
Neville g
Giggs
Keane
Scholes
Beckham
Van nistelrooy
Crespo

Subs:

Carroll
O'shea
Silvestre
Butt
van der meyde
Solskjaer

This provides quality cover for every where but left midfield where bridge could play and have silvestre at lb.

This is about as good as united could get in my opinion and would be truly unbeatable or a minimum outlay and realistically available transfers. Even if you couln't get grespo you could flog veron and pick up someone like ronaldinho who psg have said will go for 20 mill. Rivaldo would have been a good signing.

But spending that much on a player who's only going to work from the bench wouldn't work out too well. He'd be expecting to play on a regular basis, and that's something he'd only be able to do at Ajax, where he is.

And what's wrong with Barthez??
Sure, he has been a liabillity in the past, but he's still a World Class goalkeeper!

That's all great regarding the Crespo news - even if we lose Veron!

But how would Van Der Mayde fit into a United midfield of Giggs, Beckham, Scholes and Captain Keane??

Kluivert can be a moody sod though, a la Nicky Anelka. Keep him well away from the premiership. I despise prima donnas like that.

kluivert would be a good but costly signing.

Yeh I read that story on teamtalk.com, and it does look positive, he's a good player and we need a fourth striker because Forlan isn't ready yet, therefore we really only have 2 main strikers, which is simply not enough. I would have thought Nuno Gomes was worth taking on since he was on a free, but he's signed for Benfica.

After reading this it makes me more optimistic that United will sign Crespo.

Apparently Lazio are all cool with money for a Crespo deal not having to be paid until next summer and cut into installments. Kenyon said no more big money deals would be done this summer but this situation would be cool...
