Looks like United are going to buy David Bellion from Sunderland in the region of £3 million sterling. (According to Manchester Evening News)
United fans - What are your Views?
(Personally, I don't really know what to make of it)

Sunderland want £5million for a player who's contract ends in 5 months. Are they insane? They sell him now for £1million, or he goes for free. It's that bloody simple.
Sunderland's chairman's had a moan about Fergie and United for apparently unsettling David Bellion after the 2 clubs failed to agree on a set-fee for the player.
He's said that Bellion WANTS to move to Old Trafford, but United aren't putting in a good-enough offer.
What does he care anyway? It's not like Bellion's a first-team-regular or anything, now, is it?!
Just let him go! Whatevere bid you're getting now is the best you're gonna get for this lad.

amen to that! i'm sick of people saying Veron has been an awful signing yet what they fail to grasp is that he's been playing out of position for almost all his Man United career. He is not a defensive workhorse he's one of them players that plays just behind a front 2 and unlocks defenses. But saying that he can still pick anyone out from around 60 yards. I think he has been a great signing and maybe the fact he's Argentinian doesn't help him too much.

Well, from what they are indicatinf - there is a lack of transfer funds available (?) and ive heard kenyon quote there won't be major transfer 'activity' in Jan as they like to do it all in the summer, so somone like Bellion is likely. Ive seen him play and he is pretty quick and has good control of the ball and can develop in the future.
I think it would be a waste of money. We need some quality players not just your average player in top flight football. I agree that a brazilian would be good for the club as it would give the team an extra attacking option. I mean every one in the Brazilian team can all attack apart from the keeper. I hope he gets a better player than the people I have heard that might be going to Man Utd.

yep Marshie and another thing about Ronaldinho is that Fergie would actually have someone who could play in that blooming 4-4-1-1 formation he loves so much.
And well the Knicks debate is best saved for another topic :D

Exactly...good point LA Lakers Rule (Sorry but the Knicks do actually). Bellion maybe a good prospect but how many good prospects do united need? We're stuggling to get another top quality striker, and Ronaldinho is an ideal player to fill that roll, as then when Giggs is injured or gets sold in the summer to ACMilan (hopefully he doesn't go) we can put Ole Solskjaer up front with Ronaldinho on the left...Man Utd have the money...blooming spend it!

why are we signing him? What Fergie needs is someone who has already proven himself, versatile and a great player. Someone like maybe hmmmmmm oh yea Ronaldinho!!. He's about 5 players in one seeing as he can play up front and anywhere in midfield except for a more defensive midfield role. Not bad for someone who'd cost around £15-25 million but looking at him as a player that's a bargain and i'm sure United could find that sort of money down the back of the seats on the team coach. Also i think i'm right in saying he's able to play in the champions league as PSG never got there did they? Might have played in qualifiers though i can't remember. More ambition is needed and none of this lets sign the cheapest replacement we can and hope he does a decent job until the summer rubbish.
I read about this in the SP pull-out that came with The People on Sunday. I read it, looked around elsewhere, but couldn't find any other sources who were willing to back this up, so I'm not sure whether to believe it or not...?
Apparently though, he is set to sign this week for £3m on a 5-year contract worth £20,000-a-week for starters after scoring only 1 goal in just 5 appearences for Sunderland this season.
What surprises me is that struggling Sunderland are apparently willing to let this guy go; a French-born player who has the potential and pace of Thierry Herny - apparently! I've seen him play once, and I have to admit that he can't half run with the ball!!
The problem for me is that he's still rather inexperienced, and despite all his potential, he may not be quite the striker we are looking for at this moment in time...
What we really need is someone who can score goals regularly to assist Ruud van Nistelrooy. And he's already proven at the Stadium of Light that he isn't there yet. But I'm sure he has the potential, and as long as we do get him, and Fergie and co. work hard with him, £3m will seem like a real steal in another few years!
But for now, I'm sure he'd still be of some great use for the first-team.
Giggs' pace just isn't the same anymore, and this guy could really give us what we need in the attack. He's also played down the right for Sunderland, which could allow Beckham the chance to go centrally, or to even replace him when he's injured.
