Arteta has the skill - would be interesting to see how­ he responded to the challenge of playing for United.­ Fabregas and/or Van Persie would be brilliant signings,­ but in the realms of fantasy footie, I fear.
But I­ love the idea of Arsenal becoming some sort of feeder­ club for trophy-winning United. Can you just imagine­ Wenger's reaction if a reporter raised the idea?

trevor just in case of injury to hargreaves i would­ have yaya toure he is strong and a good ball winner­ plus versatile he play centre back against us no­ problem

totally agree trevor what do you think of arteta at­ everton i personally like fabregas but would we get him­ is another story what do you make of the van persie­ story i like him he would be class at united

newcastleian1 i discounted joey cos he dont look good­ in stockings ha ha plus he is a scumbag

Dazmanutd: I agree that in theory Hargreaves could be­ the ball winner. But I have doubts about relying on­ someone who has played only about six months in two­ years. Will he ever be the same player again,­ especially in such a physically demanding role? Carrick­ is good, but not top drawer. Can look great spraying­ passes around against weaker teams who give him time­ and space, but too often a passenger in big games­ against quick, skillful opponents.
And watching­ Anderson shoot is true comedy. How did United end up­ with the only Brazilian (almost ever in the history of­ football?) whose shots are more likely to hit corner­ flags than the goal?

pleese let me win one premia leg medul bfor i go to­­ spainland wiff rafa.

the fog on the tyne is all mine all mine

dazmanutd....you didnt mention joey barton??

trevormarch33 we have already got one of the players­ you mention in hargreaves but your right about a­ creative midfielder cos anderson isnt gonna be that­ carrick will be okay once we get hargreaves playing­ again and cover will be there from giggs scholes and­ anderson i personally would like someone in there like­ fabregas who makes himself look like he as all the time­ in the world on the ball as getting xavi or iniesta is­ just a no-go or maybe arteta from everton who i think­ is very underated i also think we need to get benzema­ or villa and someone who can play on the left wing­ ashley young would be my choice there anyway we got the­ cash so lets hope the signings are good ones and help­ us get more trophies this season

the tyne is on the fog?????

the fog is on the tyne

I would welcome him! :D

mancdetester you must be kidding man city owners said­ there would be world signings coming last season and­ they couldnt even get kaka nor any other superstar

allthese manc,s are @#$% themselves over man city and­ thier billions,

Paul Harman post 20: You had your chance and you blew­ it big time. All the work done by Shankly, Paisley etc.­ now means nowt. Last season United took only four­ points off it's nearest rivals, indeed could afford­ to lose twice to their nearest rival yet still emerged­ as Premier League Champions. My lad is 27 and he cannot­ ever remember Liverpool ever being champions, that is a­ sad fact for every 27 year old in the world! This is­ what all scousers are clinging on to - history.­ You've not won out for years yet still think you­ have a successful team. Reality is you were lucky last­ season, United strolled it, and fact is there are much­ better equiped teams than Liverpool who can win the­ league. Beneathus has won two cups on penalties, how­ lucky is that. Benethus by name, beneath us by nature.­ If you think you will emulate last seasons peak, I­ think your brain is as empty as Gerrards trophy­ cabinet.

The departure of Ronaldo and probably Tevez should not­ distract SAF from his main priority: mending his weak­ midfield. All the srikers in the world will not perform­ without bullets to fire. United's midfield was­ being overrun by most decent opposition at the end of­ the '07/'08 campaign (including Chelsea in CL­ final) and it went downhill throughout '08/'09.­ Aside from the obvious thrashings by Liverpool and­ Barcelona, it also explains the heavy weather they made­ of beating lesser teams.
Not one of the current line-up­ is fit to be mentioned in the same breath as Robson,­ Keane or Scholes in his prime. Carrick is neither­ strong nor fast enough to hold the fort and those­ around either go AWOL or give the ball away too easily.­ The fact that the hardworking (but lightweight and­ wasteful) Fletcher won so many plaudits says it all.­
To make matters worse this gaping void sucks Rooney­ out of position, thereby wasting one of the finest­ attacking talents in world football.
So my message to­ Sir Alex is to find (1) a world class ball-winner and­ (2) a world class creative/goal-scoring central­ midfielder.
Then you might get the best out of both­ Rooney and Berbatov and the attacking picture will look­ a lot more rosy.
