firstly we need no striker and we have to sell saha and bellion to get some extra fund available. second we have to get a good and consistent goal keeper as well as midfielder for keane / giggs replacement. third, carroll you can go f.ck yourself, don't talk like you're like ireplacable, go get a video of your blunder against spurs before you can speak so loudly

Just let Carrol go. If he aint even confident he can win his spot, he aint a winner.
Having said that, we NEED to buy a new keeper, Howard was awful against Newcastle, especially the first half (around the time they scored)
For crude sake, we dont need more strikers, Ole's gonna be back ^^ All our problems up front will be solved...
Figo wouldnt be too bad. He can at least cross!! Just put him out on the right and just cross. With Figo, Ronaldo and Giggs in similar positions, all 3 of them should benefit since they wont need to play 90 mins every match.

Having said that, Figo might hack Ronaldo down in training for taking his role in the national team.. 
AS say Real want C.Ronaldo and we could do a swap deal involving Figo, what bollocks.

Fergie demands Rio decision
Sir Alex Ferguson has again told Rio Ferdinand to sign his new contract.
It is only seven days since the Manchester United boss told his £29million record signing it was time he made up his mind over committing his future to the Old Trafford outfit.
Despite the threat, Ferdinand has so far failed to sign a deal reputedly worth £100,000-a-week
, irritating Ferguson and causing anger among the United fans who believe the England international owes the club for standing by him during his eight-month suspension for a missed drugs test.
The longer the matter drags on, the more Ferguson's worries over Ferdinand's infamous meeting with Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon will grow.
And so, 48 hours before Ferdinand is due to face Charlton in the Barclays Premiership, the Scot has again demanded an end to the saga.
"Rio's agent is apparently out of the country," he said.
"There is nothing much we can do about that but when he gets back we want a decision.
"It is important to the Manchester United fans that they get one.
"We are not going to be messed about. We have shown great faith in signing these players and we need to see it returned."
Ferguson also claims to be mystified by the comments of Roy Carroll's agent Francis Martin that the Northern Ireland international would be willing to sign a new deal this summer if the United boss pledged not to buy a new keeper in the summer.
"Roy Carroll's agent has been talking to the press, but he has not spoken to us for months so we don't know the situation there," Ferguson added.
Striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy and defender Gabriel Heinze both miss the trip to The Valley, with Nistelrooy still troubled by an ankle problem.
"We are just analysing what to do next with that one. It's not a serious one, it's just a niggling bit of bone, a bruise on the bone that's causing a bit of bother," Ferguson said.
Heinze is recovering from damaged ankle ligaments. Ferguson said that the Argentina full-back was facing a race against time to be fit to face Arsenal in the FA Cup final on May 21.
"Knowing him, he is such a determined and brave lad he will want to play and we will give him every chance to play. He deserves to be there."

Its time for Rio to repay the faith shown in him.
Come on son. He wants to be a United great, and skipper the side. Whats stopping him?

It would then be like the Veron situation. Splash nearly 30 million squid on a world class player, then sell him for half. No wonder the board are getting tight on money.

But honestly, do you think Ferdinand has gone out of his way to play down these stories? (Like Ruud did with Real last year). I'm not sure that I want a player who repays United's loyalty by trying to screw ludicrous amounts of money off them. I'm gonna need some convincing that Rio is 100% for United, and not just in it for money.
United will not sell him to Chelsea, but I could maybe see a deal with a foreign club like Madrid - So long as we get the right money (£30M +)
I do however hope I am wrong about this as Rio will not be easy to replace.
As for this Norwegian based kid, the last one we signed didn't do too badly did he?! (Although this one isn't Norwegian by Nationality)
My vote is with Rossi to breakthrough next term.

Manchester United have announced the signing of Nigerian central midfielder John Obi Mikel, 18, from Norwegian feeder-club FC Lyn Oslo.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho stated a few months ago he struck gold to when he saw Mikel in action after impressing on a trial at Stamford Bridge.
The Portuguese tactician also claimed he had a done deal with Lyn over the midfielder, who has now committed himself to United. He said in February: "He seems like a mature man and a player with a lot of experience,"
"He's Nigerian, plays in Norway and next season he will work with me and play in the reserve league. If he grows the way I predict, we've found gold"

Just had to share Manutdweb's poll about Glazer with you!
A : Explore the bid
B: Reject the bid
C: Give Roy Keane an hour with Glazer in a dark room
Needless to say I voted "c" !
The spectre of Malcom Glazer looms large over our beloved club, threatening a dark shroud over our history and traditions. United's very existence could be in jeopardy - I seriously doubt that Glazier will be investing heavily in the playing squad.
