As long as they sell the necessary number of season tickets, why on earth would they spend any money? Don't be daft!

That whole episode is driving me nutz. Carrick is nowhere near the quality or the driving force required to succeed in the heart of our midfield. He would be a good squad player in place of fletcher, and that's just about it. £15 mill is a tad bit too much to play for a squad player though. United should be concerntrating on the guile of 2 things..Strength and Tenacity. That is what the midfield needs. we will find that in 3 signings: Fernando Torres Didier Zakora and Riquelme Zakora is strong, very energetic, very rarely puts a pass wrong and has a half decent eye for goal (That shot he had against Holland in the world cup sums up his shooting capabilities in france) Riquelme is good at free kicks and has an eye for that defence splitting pass (look at the second goal argentina scored against Ivory Coast. The finish was good but the pass was everything!!) Imagine Ruud or Torres on the end of one of those passes. Fernando Torres is a class act with a very good promise....and he is only 22. I think we need him. Nothing more to say! Zakora, Torres and Riquelme are my pick. I agree with the “Forget Carrick” statement. That whole episode is driving me nutz.

On balance, I would reckon that United have not done well in the transfer market recently, apart from the signing of Rooney and Van der Saar. I really can't understand the rationale of signing Evra and, to a lesser extent, Vidic. The amount spent on these players could (and should) have been better invested in strengthening the mid-field. You would have to be wearing blinkers not to have noticed the distinct lack of creativity amongst the ranks of United's mid-field players. Signing a player like Carrick ain't gonna improve United's mid-field significantly, if at all. United's Management (including Fergie) must come to terms with the fact that the days when all the best players would jump at the chance of joining United are long gone.

Lets go all out for the player of the tournament who pulls all the strings for by far the best team in the competition.... Juan Riquelme as the creative influence and as defensive protection, his compatriot...Javier Mascherano ( only 23 in years but far more in stature )Argentina are not the same without Riquelme on the pitch, we saw that against England and once again for the last 10 minutes of the match against Holland. Come on United lets pull out all the stops for the right players once more. Forget Carrick !
