With Rivaldo leaving Milan and being available on a free now i wondered what with United wanting someone who can play just behind Ruud why doesn't Fergie sign him?
He's free which i'm sure is a very big plus in the boards view and he can still do a very good job out on the pitch. He hasn't had a very good time at Milan and i'm sure that lack of match time would mean it would take him a few games to get back up to pace, which is a downer on the move, however once he does get going i can't think of anyone any better, more creative and deadlier then this world cup winner. We all saw at the Chelsea game how absolutely poor we were at creating chances (but in my opinion that was down to Fergie but not discussing that right now) and having Rivaldo floating around the pitch would give us that creative spark which we need back.
He can also play on the wings which is another plus. What with Ronaldo still being young and inexperienced we need someone who has played in big games and brings with him big game experience, which Rivaldo has by the bucket load. Ever since Becks left we haven't really had anyone who's been sending cross after cross into the box which Rivaldo can do, and unlike Becks he won't have any qualms at running at defences.
Personally i think he'd be a very good signing come January. He's free, versatile, experienced and i don't think he has played in the Champions League this year has he? The only trouble could be his wages and his attitude but given the history Fergie has of handling 'characters' like Cantona, Rivaldo shouldn't cause any problems. It also means instead of buying one player Fergie can strengthen elsewhere.
So what do other people think? Would you like to see some more samba magic at the Theatre of Dreams?
