Apparently Walcott done a 'prolonged lap of honour' after the Arsenal game.... I know he done well today, but I'd hate him coming and Nani going the other way... Hopefully I'm looking too far into it..

Patzi

I think Zaha will be the January buy not Walcott.

i'd hope so i'd be disappointed if we signed walcott and they replaced him with zaha

Don't want Zaha or Walcott. Sell Nani in the summer and give Januzaj a chance or bring Ronny back. the only two solutions I would be happy with! :)

Dan

I personally think Walcott is destined to be a striker so exchanging him for Nani will be counter productive

Pardoe

With Sturridge destined for Liverpool I wouldnt mind betting that he ends up at Chelsea

We Need central midfielders! All this talk of wingers and strikers is unecessary, when our midfield is clearly our weakest area. I hope the Mirror is correct and SAF is keen on keeping Nani. As SAF is reported to have said, "Nani gives us something different". Walcott is quick, but that's all. We need a Wanyama style midfielder and a Gotze type to replace Scholes.
Mik

I hope he does sign for Chelski, instead of Falcao! Lol
It would make sense for them to replace an Englishman with an Englishman, to balance the books so to speak.

Patzi

Nani can't recover now, he's held in a Berbatov light, had his go, didn't work out. We move on.

So as that was our last game of 2012 I want to ask what have your top 3 goals in 2012 been and your favourite game.
My top 3 goals are
3) welbeck v Everton in the 4-4
2) rvp v fulham
1) rvp v city
And my favourite game was the recent 3-2 derby win!

Caolán.

Best game 3-2 v city
3) cleverley v newcastle
2) RVP v fulham
1) Valencia v blackburn

Ozzy

Best game 3-3 against chelsea,
as for the goals:
3- Rooney vs Everton ( his linkup play with Welbeck was reminescent of Cole- Yorke )
2-Rooney vs Bilbao ( sheer quality imo )
1- Valencia vs Blackburn ( monstrous strike )

Notable mentions : Valencia vs Wolves, Nani vs Everton, Rvp vs Fullham, Welbeck vs Everton, Young vs Tottenham, Rooney vs Fullham, Carrick vs QPR, Chicha vs Wolves.

The ever reliable Caught Offside quoting our intent to bid for Gundogan in the summer. Good player but not sure Dortmund are up for being a feeder club, especially if the Lewandowski rumours that are gathering pace prove to be true. Gundogan, Strootman, Wanyama or Bender? Which would be your number one midfield target?

Kuala

Wanyama, the man's a colossus and going to b a super star!

vidal bender mccarthy

Bender all day long

Ozzy

Wanyama (from what I´ve heard), and Bender (from what I´ve seen).

Steffen

Wanyama.

Can pass well, loves a hard tackle and chips in with goals.

Ozwald

Gundogan is actually a very good young player.
woudln't mind seeing gundogan, strootman or bender.

Wanyama is no world beater two good games against barca doesn't all of a sudden make him our answer!haven't seen any of the others mentioned to give an opinion have to give young players their chance otherwise what's the point developing players we need a defensive midfield player yes but where are they fergie won't buy for the sake of it and he's right imho!

Wanyama fits the gap we have in midfield perfectly.
Mik

None of them are mugs. All talented and young. Ill be interested to see if there really is no business done in Jan or if Fergie is playing the usual games with journalists. It may be he is right that Jan is not the time. Several are still in CL with their clubs.
