Man Utd letting the trophies slip

[Master]

I would prefer David Villa up front with Torres.

I really think going for Barry is a bit of a stretch unless you plan to move Gerrard upfront and why would you want to lose a box-to-box player like him? Barry won't be worth it on the wing. Alonso has been playing great lately, my only issue with him is that he's absent fromt he offense too much. If Gerrard and Torres are having trouble taking chances we never see Alonso step up and take over and that's what we need....a 3rd option! Also there is rumor that Alonso will be sold to Real Madrid and if that's the case and we get them to overpay for him then I wouldn't feel bad letting him go and adding on Silva or Mata or whoever.

Villa is a tricky one....when he was playing with Torres for Spain Torres never scored or even got close to scoring. Villa is a superb player but I think the matchup doesn't work, the chemistry isn't there.

As long as we add another striker, I am A-OK with this squad. I also heard more rumors about Heinze moving to Liverpool, but hell those have been going on forever

Torres and Villa will win Spain the world cup in 2010 in South Africa.

Bump this thread for next season (hope I do not live to regret it again)

Man Utd have £80 but done very little with it. They will not win the league title or the European Cup. With that amount of cash I would have bought Messi for £80 million.

We would never get Messi in a million years, like Fergie said no point spending the money on anyone there is only a handful of players who will improve our team and they are not available we tried getting Benzema couldnt get him, Madrid and Barca look strong Ronaldo will be a big miss and we will have to play a different system but we still have a very strong sqaud, we have a good a chacne as any other team without a doubt in the premiership.

As wages are getting higher and higher and all the top players earning 150k plus a week I think we will see the top top players choosing Spain over England if given the choice for tax purposes, In Spain they get taxed 20% where here its 50% so if your on 150k a week in Spain your going home with 35k more which is alot of money.

Sounds like Rafa is going to give Voronin a shot at making the squad...that means we're not going to go after another striker.
