    They won't buy a striker, the lack of goals is down to the formation he's played (4-5-1) and the fact that RVN was injured. To me, at home they should play Rooney in thre hole and two out and out strikers. Liverpool made the same mistake a few years ago with Jari Litmanen and it cost them the title IMO. At home we should have played Jari, Owen and Heskey instead of two out of the three.

    • How long was cheat van cheatlerooy out for this season? Was a while anyway.

      The rest of the side is either aging, inconsistant or steaming turds. Ill believe Ferdinand is still England class when I see it.

      • If it was JUST Van Nistlerooy, then ManU doesn't have much to worry about, even with the GK problem. They were 2nd in the Premiership in goals allowed (with 25). They needed help in goals scored. Perhaps it was the formation, but the defending seems to be top notch (though still 10 more than Chelsea gave up).

        • As Maq says the side is ageing in a lot of areas and quality replacements are not being brought in. The GK question is a tricky one, goals allowed isn't always a sign that the goalie as crap, just as often it means the defence/midfield is poor as well.

          If I was Fergie I'd sign Cudicni (sp) and a holding midfield player first and then loof at the full back positions.

            They don't need a striker. They got a whole bunch, including Rooney.

            Their problem is they lack a solid mid-field line, that's how they can't beat the weaker teams that have strong tackling and interception.

            • Saha and Smith aren't really used often enough (though with Saha, part of it is that he gets injured every other game)... like SAF doesn't trust them. RVN was injured, but he's getting older all the time. And like reds said, Rooney would be better as a withdrawn Forward who makes attacking runs.
