The big question is, how are we going to get our fear factor back? According to Capello we had bid 100 million for Bale, if this is true then we have the money to buy anyone, even Ronaldo. We have to make a stellar signing, preferably a winger who scores a lot of goals. I'm not saying that Ronaldo will come because I don't believe he will want to play for Moyes - what I am saying is that we need at least a 150 million investment on two or three players in the squad. AND if PSG do make a 100 million bid for Ronaldo then we have to go straight in there and match it as I am sure that he would still choose us over them.

A humble request to all United supporters "Please get over Ronaldo". Time and again he has flirted with the club just to get a better salary package. All he cares about is himself. He has already said that United is my past and left the club for "his childhood dream".
I like all United fans am very thankful to him for serving our club. But now using our name to get a better deal just puts him in the bracket of Tevez and Rooney who according to many of you are just mercenaries. I would rather support Rooney for the time being as he is still at the club and according to SAF asked to sign Özil.
On another note I do agree with you that to get our fear factor back we need to sign a couple of big players(not strikers). But it will all depend on how Moyes does this season as big names would want to work with a manager who can win trophies. I guess we'll have to wait till the end of the season and see.

I would rather spend 100 million on 3 top quality players than one superstar. Vidal, Verrati, Verrane the 3 vs would be Brilliant but more like dream land :)

With 100m I would like to see Reus, Vidal and Gundogan.

Finally we agree shahrah! :)
IMO Gundogan is the player we should try for most of all as I think he's exactly what we need and if he can be convinced to sign then i'm sure there's a chance of doing a deal wth Dortmund maybe involving kags?
Id prefer we kept kags but its clear he doesn't fit moyes plans atm and with Adnan stepping up it could be a good deal for us.
I think Sebastian Rode would be another good option to add the midfield

I actually believe we need 6 players at least( Hopefully some of these can come through youth development)over the next 2 years or so. Giggs, Evra, Rio and even Vidic and Carrick nearing the end of their illustrious careers. Young, Anderson, Macheda, Fabio, Valencia not good enough(Fellaini too but we just bought him /cry) and Chico and Kagawa frustrated with lack of play time.
That's virtually a full side, while I don't expect them all to leave, just from retirements its a goodly number to replace.

I agree 100% Vidal would in my opinion be the best signing we could make. I'm just not sure the Glazers would invest the kind of money necessary. The days of established players coming to Unites just because its united are gone and Market forces set the price of players, no value in the market does not get the job done.
Anyway will be rooting for us in the pub tonight.

Babyfaced

Not so fast LOL, Vidal is better than Gundogan IMO. Probably the most complete midfielder around at the moment.

I am surprised no one picked a centre back, those 3 fix our spine and you can play so many awesome combinations around them with our existing players that we would look like word beaters again. They all have great pace and presence and engines to go with it. Will probably never happen but we can all dream.

GRUND,
Id say rio, evra, carrick, giggs and maybe vidic need replacing in the next 12-18 months due to ageing legs and young, valencia, anderso need replacing with better quality IMO.
Thats a lot of money in a short space of time and i'm not sure the glazers will sign a cheque big enough.
Obviously we have Adnan, powell, zaha and maybe michael keane who could step up eventually but they need to be given the opportunity.I think its going to be difficult but not impossible with the right man management of the youngsters and 3 or 4 quality signings but those signings have to be realistic targets. I personally think Gundogan and Rode would be realistic, quality signings for cm add a quality winger and lb and things look a lot better IMO and allow jones and smalling to develop as a cb pairing for after this season or when vidic finishes

Shahram,
Vidals a beast but I don't see him being available and I think Gundogan would be the best option that could be available if we sacrifice kags to get him.
Dont know how much you know about Rode but he's another very good option but I think Bayern are looking at him.
I think a quality cb will be needed when vidic goes but tbh I can't think of any that would be available and tbh i'd like to see jones and smalling given a chance but they both need to step up a bit

9.) 23 Oct 2013
I agree vidal would not be available. I would not in anyway swap kagawa and go after Gundogan.
