"Who united should sign come january."

Obviously when january arrives even Man utd will have a limited budget.

The best signings i thnk they could make would be:

Forssell: young, proven quality, hasn't played in Europe this season due to injury. Just the understudy they really need to have up front for the future. (obviously i would not be best pleased if this actually happened)

(10 mill-ish)

Dawson from forest, or Lescott from wolves: Both very talent CBs not the finished article admittedly but their values will only go up, along with their skill leaving united sorted at the back for about 10 years with ferdinand. (8 mill or 6 mill)

Andy van der Meyde: Good solid player cheaper replacement for Veron (when need as cover in the centre, and can cover for beckham to) (7 mill)

Rustu: One of the most reliable keepers around who isn't at a huge team. contract is expirin so should be fairly cheap and a mile better than the joker in goal at the moment. (3 mill)
Sell:

Veron: undoubtedly good player but not really needed (oly during this rare injury spell) raise money for more neccessary transfers. (19mill)

Brown: As most Man Utd supporters will probably admit, he is a bit over rated and so injury prone, should be sold while his transfer value is still high. (8 mill)

Barthez: a couple of good displays recently. Still utter crap (6 mill)


This would regenerate the united side, and actually make them more of a lasting threat. I think Fergie is going to retire and wants to 8ugger up the team before he leaves so his successer looks worse, so he probably won't bother.

a young midfielder or striker that can come on and change the game. djibril cisse or andres d'alessandro

Iverson, cos we dont want him

Diego forlan's younger brother

I doubt it, not by January anyway. Lazio claim they have paid the cash, and probably want nothing more to do with Utd. Any compensation Utd get won't be until the summer now.

I reckon a Lazio Forward (eg Claudio Lopez) could be the one. Becasue of the unresolved matter of the Jaap stam stransfer fee.

However, utd have actually been linked with *gulp* Robbie Fowler.


God help us if that scouse piece of crap makes his way to Old Trafford.

If Fergie shells out for a big price striker, I would absolutely LOVE to see Javier Saviola get brought in, but I very much doubt he's on sale for anything short of a record breaking transfer fee.

But there's nothing wrong with Roy Carroll!
So we don't need a new back-up 'keeper.

I've seen Cissé play a few times for France, and he looked OK.
I didn't think he was that special, but he could be something big in a few years. Trouble is that he's got players like Trezeguet and Henry ahead of him in the French team, so it ain't gunna be easy for him to get in there and impress us all.

If he is gunna be special, then I hope we don'y miss-out on him - like we did with Henry.

a young striker like djibril cisse and a decent sub goalie

wes brown is great and deserves to stay
