In terms of summer transfers, what would we prefer to see:

- Option 1: Spend the budget on Ronaldo.

- Option 2: Sign a good young central midfielder, striker and defender.

- Option 3: Just splash out on a top central midfielder.

Option 2.

Get in Eriksen, a striker like example Woldswinkel or whoever and a defender and job done.

- Option 4: The club spend it on a party for all users of this site, to celebrate the fact that you didn't mention Barkley and/or Kovacic in your post.

Option 1.

Ronaldo and Rooney's partnership is something I haven't seen since Yorke and Cole but Ronaldo and Rooney being better! Watch MUTV, all Ronaldo's goals or all Rooney's goals, when they played together they just seemed to assist each other all the time, frightning!

Midfield to choose from of Cleverley, Anderson, Valencia, Nani, Pogba, Carrick, Fletcher (If fit), Young is good enough to compete.

Defence of Twins, Vidic, Smalling, Jones, Evans, Evra, Fryers is good enough to compete to.

With De Gea having a season under his belt, Lindegaard and Amos as back up I have no concerns there.

I just think recently (Liverpool and Chelsea) we have had lots of possession but no penetration and Ronaldo would bring that and would bring that out in Rooney again!

Bring through a few more kids, Tunncliffe, Pettruci, Norwood etc and we'd be looking good.

Prob won't happen but let's believe!

Ports

We need to get rid of players like Giggs, Park, Rio and Evra (great going foward but defensively irresponsible!) and bring in some ample replacements!

Viva ronaldo ;-)

Id buy Ronaldo as it will bring fear back into our team. I would also try and lure Tevez on the cheap from city. We had the best attacking line up in 2008-2009 and in my opinion they've all become better players. Obviously the issues with Tevez could bring problems but would be an awesome signing.

Although I think ronaldo would be great to have back, the money would much better spent on world class defensive midfielder and defender. sell berb and get rid of the deAd wood of the squad. We need class and spending for the future is the way forward.

'lure Tevez on the cheap'......love this kind of stuff - invaluable insight into the mind of Fergie no doubt

OPTION 2 ALL THE WAY

Lets get some of the young boys thru with 1 or 2 new signings we r close to being gr8 again just a little bit of tweaking in SAF we trust

Allow ronaldo he left we don't need him get sum1 like Pedro from barca( he is mad) or Jesus navas. We could buy hummels from dortmund he is a world class defender

Get a budget like man city thats what ide prefer

Some terrible news! Firstrowsports.tv has been taken down by the US.

Rudderpost

I got on frontrowsports.eu the other day since that notice.
Try lemonsports (0r might be sportslemon)

Supasub

A good player, but he hasn't got anything that Robbie Brady hasn't other than experiance. Why spend money on a player when we have someone who is potentially better within our ranks. I'd much rather give Brady his chance, he deserves it.

Shappy

Thanks Supasub.

Uhm Shappy, unless firstrowsports.eu is also the name for a footballer then I think you posted on the wrong thread.

Rudderpost

Yeah the septic tanks are getting annoying now, filesonic has gone as well.

That happens sometimes when I reply using my phone. Ah well. Lol.

Download and read up on Sopcast! Streams a much better quality picture! U will have to install an FLV player which are free but well worth it. U can get the streams for the games from another website which i will post later when i turn my computer on.

Definately worth reading up on if ur interested. I thought it sounded suspect at first but once my friend got it eorking, im not looking back :-)

I used firstrowsports for a bit, but the adverts popping up all the time during the match were driving me crazy! Grrrr

Anyway, my fellow united friends, if anyone decides to try it and get it working, post back on here so we can all happily watch the team we love :-)

This is the site to go on once you have installed sopcast and the flv player:

www.wiziwig.tv

Just sign up, click on the link. Ones with higher bit rates are best.

Enjoy

Has anyone been tuning in the AFCON?

I have to say I have been well impressed with Zambia, especially Mayuka of Young Boys. Quick, strong forward. There captain Katongo has also been immense!

I for one will be cheering them on and hope a lot of the players on that team can earn moves to bigger clubs and push their careers forward!

Sanshine

Manucho was brilliant in the AFCON a few years back ! He didnt quite work out now did he ?

Still is brilliant in the AFCON actually, pretty much carries Angola. Firstly when did I once mention 'sign him', 'we should get him', etc. I didn't. Secondly, just because someone doesn't make it at United that's not to say they aren't very good. Rossi and Forlan are very good examples. So bore off!

What about summer bid for Andrés Iniesta of barca.. he is flustrated at barca since arrival of Fàbregas... he has experience.. talented.. and we all know that only xavi and iniesta can take place of scholes..

Dreamer

Bernard

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Comment reserved!

Millz

I'm sure he is terribly flustrated, but in my honest opinion I think not.

Sanshine

NO, not realistic at all.. Also even if it were possible i'd still say no. This player Iniesta is a leading example of what a player shouldn't be like attitude wise not skill. Not the kind of player i want around our youngsters. Yeah he's good, but the attitude of a player counts for a lot more than some of you seem to think!

Ozwald

Ozwald,

If it were possible you would still say no? To one of the top 5 players in the world? Are you kidding me?

The post is ridiculous but mainly because there is zero chance of us signing him, if he was available and wanted to come to us then of course, but never going to happen!

GDS

Ozwald, your response is almost as stupid as the actual rumour

Do you think a player with his attitude would get on well with other players at United, sounds like you guys are used to playing too much fifa where you think you can just buy anyone and they'll just walk in and be exactly the same player they were before they joined.. Don't be so simpled minded! Veron for example is was meant to be something special but did he turn out to be a massive hit? No, if a player doesn't settle well, they don't play well. It's my opinion that he would find it hard to settle for many reasons and this is why i'd say no.

I'm not saying he isn't worthy of us, or that he lacks talent. I also agree he's probably one of the 5 best in the world but how do you know he would be after moving to united? you lot just off in your fairytale world? Huge money, high profile, high risk move that SAF wouldn't risk.

Ozwald

No doubt he's brilliant footballer, but I want him nowhere near United, he's a scumbag, diving little cheat. I despise him and it wouldn't stop if he came here.

Percy

Thank you Percy! Someone who feels the same about him, he's really got himself a name for being a dirty player and i hate dirty players.

Ozwald

If it counts, I agree with Ozwald to an extent. He is no doubt a very good player but he would be expensive & very risky. Not all star players if signed can play for any club. There are soo many things tht matter. Attitude, enviornment, gameplay & the list goes on. Torres is a perfect example of it. Nd so were Forlan & Veron..! Nd totally IMO Iniesta wouldnt just fit in a PL team & I think most of the PL managers would agree or trust me Chelsea/City would hv atleast put in an inquiry. Nd finally Guardiola would't sell him & he wouldn't wanna leave either.
Nd I personally support Real & not Barca. I think they all deserve Oscars!
IBleedBlue

So you wouldnt want 1 of the best midfielders in the world at Man Utd......I supose you would prefer Rodwell.....
