I think i speak for the ed's and everyone on this site that we all wish Fabrice Muamba the best and wish him a speedy recovery. Our hearts go out to him and his friends and family at this sad time. Petty rivalries mean nothing when i young mans life hangs in the balance. It's ironic that it's times like this that brings out the best in football fans. But lets just hope and pray that we see Fabrice gracing the pitch again.

Shappy

Well said sir, hoping for a full recovery for the lad and strength for his family at this time.
Whoever pressed the unbelievable/disagree button is a complete k**bhead who does'nt deserve to be allowed on these pages and sites, worthless piece of cr*p.
HERBIE

I also wish him and his family all the best and whoever disliked this comment should wait until he or one of his family members are critically ill and then see how he is then, the emotionally challenged s**t

What person seriously hit disagree??

Robbo

I'm sure everyone agrees with the basic message, but its not ironic

If you could get one striker outside the epl to partner rooney, who would it be. It must be realistic, please dont say something like messi as it wont happen.

I would pick cavani. Absolute monster in attack and tries to get his head onto anything.
I think we need a striker that is deadly as him .

2nd choice would be benzema

TRUMORS {Ed007's Note - I'd go for Higuain, I think him and Rooney up front would be a fantastic partnership.}

I would pick hunterlaar would be very cheap and has an awesome goal scoring record

If i was to pick any striker out there, and yes it might not b the most realistic but it would have to be Villa.
He might not play as a striker for Barca but he is a natural striker! His talent is unbelievable and if we was to go for him i think he would be willing to come to us and wouldn't be to expensive. Age may be a problem though..

Higuan would be my second choice and i reckon he would fit in very well with United!

Mabzinho

I would sign HULK from Porto. or Neymar

Benezema - good choice? higuain, yeah, 1st choice for defo! also, hulks at ath madrid now... as for cavani, napoli's owner was on ssn the other day and said he's worth £100 mil - so he's out!

From what is likely to be available i would go for higuain, if dreaming i would have neymar
jred

If i was to choose any striker to play just infront of Rooney then i'd go for Radamel Falcao but seeing as he went to Athlectico Madrid for something like 38m last summer i doubt we'll be able to afford him. If RVP is available to us then he's gotta be worth a punt. As for a lesser known striker i'd go for Luuk De Jong.

Shappy

Higuain - he is lethal in front of goal and has a better goals/minute ration than both Ronaldo and Messi. He is also far more attainable than both Cavani and Benzema.

RedDevil19

Anyone of benzema,cavani or llorente.

What about pato of ac Milan, over the last couple of years I think he has stagnated but he is still 21/22 years of age and still world class potential. On a different note does any body know if saf going to the Dortmund vs Bremen game tonight

Lavezzi for me. He is a quality striker! {Ed004's Note - He is more of a winger though...}

Yes it would be higuain for me he's lethal.benzema would fit in aswell or just bring back Christiano Ronaldo,and give him a free role,29 goals in his last 24 games,and he has 6 hatricks already.the man is phenomenal.and then there's little Messi,23 goals in his last 24 games!genius! {Ed004's Note - I think Benzema would be more suited to our style of play}

Yes you might be right Ed,Benzema has pace,quicker than higuain to suit our counter attacking style...

Personally i think hernandez and welbeck are good enough! :)

To the last poster,was that a joke?cop on mate!

Radamel Falcao looks good at Athletico Madric. Good age as well at 25.

hows it going lads just wondering what you guys think of loaning 1 of rafael or fabio next season till january?or longer? i would loon out rafael as we can play jone sor smalling there and hav fabio lb bakcup, it would give him a long run of games with 1 of the newly promoted teams hopefully stays away from injury could comeback a complete rb? because a few yrs ago i really taught him and his brother like everyone else wud be the future fullbacks but now doubting there long term futures because they don't get alot of games? wts yout thoughts on the fullback situation?
any1 else think drenthe of everton reminds them of a left footed nani? cud be worth a bid?

I think the twins would get enough games if they could stay fit.

drenthe for me has the potential to be a good player , ive seen him play cm a lot
and he looked quite good
jred

I think Jones will eventually be Utd's capt after rooney. He has amazing potential and his step up from blackburn to england and utd has been phenominal. Rafael is a hot head but he will mature and be a decent rb. Fabio is far more defensive and a lot more composed on the ball. I still feel like we are in transition and fielding cleverly, fabio, smalling, jones, welbeck and rafael will only help us in the seasons to come. We are top of the pile, scoring for fun and still fielding these youngsters.

Pab

To be honest I think we would struggle getting any team to take Rafael on loan with his injury problems, its a shame because we can all see the player he can be if he stayed fit. I personnaly would try to move Rafael and Fabio on, I cant see them been regular fixtures for us because of injury's. Drenthe looks decent enough, could be worth a shout....
HERBIE

If they can both stay fit then they will both have decent careers at United IMO.

Drenthe is more Rapid Where as Nani is more slick i think, but if we was to go for Drenthe where would he play? LB/LM?..

How long do people think rio has left at the club and what will his next move be? also how highly did people rate him at his best?Divvy the red {Ed007's Note - I think a move to MLS in the summer could appeal to him.}

I agree mls might appeal to him. at his peak in my opinion he is one of the classiest centre backs we have ever had.

I don't think MLS will appeal to him, he has too much love for united to go elsewhere! I don't want to guess what he'll be doing next season but i honestly can't see him playing in MLS.

Ozwald

Top player in his prime IMO, not much got through him. MLS sounds about right for him to finish his career, he has a lot of business things going on including a little film/movie work so America has to appeal....
HERBIE {Ed007's Note - That's my train of thought about it as well Herbie, keeping his 'celebrity' status and mixing in the right circles for films etc.}

I think he'll stay for 1 more year personally, to be used in rotation and help Smalling and Jones develop

Then I wouldnt be surprised if he retired, or possibly a move to the MLS (semi-retirement!) in a years time

Gav

Forgot to say...Rio was real class up until a year or so ago. Composed, quick, good reading of the game - he and Vidic formed the best defence in Europe in their peak IMO. It helped that they perfectly complemented each other

Manchester United will offer around £19.1m to Ajax for their young Denmark stars, 20-year-old attacking midfielder Christian Eriksen and 17-year-old forward Viktor Fischer.

ms85

Offer £19m for both?

Ozwald

2 of the hottest young prospects in european football,we wouldnt get eriksen for that.
johndenton

Was on bbc gossip site just thought id paste it up for peoples opinions

ms85

It would be a good bit of business to get both of them for £19.1 million however Ajax would probably want around the £25 million mark.
