Fergie to bring in 3 players in january,an attacking midfielder to cover cleverly,a left back to cover patrice evra,,and a defensive midfielder..,berbatov,carrick,owen and gibson to be sold,,,,diouf to be loaned out

Agree about players goin out except owen, think we should keep him, also think about time evra went he was not trackin back enough last nite, 2 of the goals he was at fault

And for your next random guess, how about predicting Friday's euro millions? Honestly, that wasn't even a second guess of what Fergie might do... it's 'what would I do if was in the hotseat? having completed the last 3 seasons on fifa's manager mode in the top two.'

As it's been said before, Fergie won't buy big in January unless it's absolutely needed. So I doubt he'll bring in 3. Maybe a midfielder depending on how we look after Christmas (CL included). If not, I guess we'll all have to wait till the summer :(

Situation

These 3 players you talk about... If they're only coming to cover for injuries then I wouldn't expect anyone big.

I'd like to see Joao Moutinho, Javi Martinez and maybe Aly Cissokho but if they come to United, players like Fabio, Cleverley and Fletcher are going to get shoved out because these 3 players have alot more experience.

Saying that though, if we did sign any of these... they won't be able to play in champions league matches because they've all already played in Europe this season for the teams they're currently playing for.

No we won't be buying anyone in January, regardless of our squad situation. SAF hates Jan window, he won't buy and be held to ransom. Stop creating excitement, it's too depressing - I don't think I can face yet another transfer window of getting my hopes up, only for the old "no value in the market" or "we're happy with the squad we have" to be trotted out again.

We DO need a CM, but 99% of fans have been saying that for 2 years now. Only the blindly loyal were claiming we didn't need any more numbers in CM and now that the Cleverly/Anderson honeymoon period is over, everyone's now outta the woodwork. It was blatantly gonna happen,. but we will not strengthen the squad in Jan.

Could see one of these joining United in the summer:

Higuain, Cavani, Llorente

Cavani is a no... £100 million price tag on his head.

Higuain or Llorente could happen though. All depends who leaves.

At the moment we don't really need any more strikers. I still say we need a world class midfielder like Schweinsteiger.

Don't get me wrong, Cleverley is awesome. He just lacks in experience especially when it comes to champions league and the fact that he is injured doesn't help.

Anderson is decent but he has his moments when he's coming forward where he'll give the ball away because of how hard he passes the ball sometimes.

Fletcher, he has lost it a bit for me since last season. I know he has been ill and it happens but he doesn't seem the same player he was last season.

Carrick, don't get me started on him... Against Basel last night, there were times where he was passing the ball back all the way to the goalkeeper... We were 3-2 down! We don't want to see that when we're losing... We want to see the team full out attack when we're losing.

Would like to see Martinez replace carrick..

True we need a midfielder but we do also need a striker.

When Rooney is missing it is obvious.

Hernandez and Welbeck are still earning. Owen is coming to the end and Macheda, Diouf and Berbatov aren't good enough.

Llorente could be available as soon as xmas bilboa have changed there style off play and there are rumors Lorente could be surplus to requiremnts at the right price.
I would to see Martinez in a united shirt
