There is no point in discussing the price when you are heading for the treble.We want a sub to Roy keane who has vision and of the ball skills.Manu has been lagging in such areas when you need to break the counter attacks and hargreaves is doing this from last 6 years.Yes Mascherano was one option but you can never judge a player from few matches.You need experience when you are heading towards the treble.
Now to De Rossi.De Rossi is a great player and more to that is a winning player.This season we saw him playing for italians and it was great.But the problem arises that De rossi has been adjusted to the Italians play of style and has gripped their ground.So will it be a risk to bring him back around.What SAF is thinking that bring players like ronaldo would be more benefical then taking the Big name players as he was before joining the Club.So spending on Nani is perfectly ok.Guys i have seen him playing and he rocks.A TRUE MANU.
Anderson was the player who was the one responsible in the 2005/2006 loss in UFEA and such players are always danger to opponents who can adjust to any style of playing.Being young you can easily carve them as fergie did to Rooney and ronaldo.And besides Smith going you need him.

Ahmed “About Hargreaves’ price tag – 20m is very expensive, but at the end of the day if Hargreaves can help us challenge for the title again, then it’s worth it, right?”

We’re challenging for the title now – WITHOUT Hargreaves. I don’t share SAF’s vision, but regardless, I still feel he is overpriced.
As a DM, your job is to protect your defenders – tackle, get the ball and give it to a passer like Carrick. Heinze can do that no problem. What’s more, he has the same heart and tenacity as Keane.

I think you ‘re all media-victims.Owen WHO?That Guardian stupidity is all over your mind guys…
I don’t think we should go for OH.Bayern is a G-14 club that never sells players,unless you pay them silly money.The highest fee the club has ever received is 5m for hamann (www.footballtransfers.co.uk/squads/club393.html).So,this club will sell only if they see us splash the cash -25m EURO- which is stupid for a 26 y.o. midlfield player like O.H.
I mean OK,he ‘s everywhere in the pitch,but he is technically average while we really want the wise off-the-ball and pass in the midfield.We want that scholesy-role player.That means we want an experienced english-style playmaker (like Cariick,Scholes,Gerrard) or a very quick good passer like Essien or Obi Mikel,who were cheap,till that blue crap grabbed them.That’s why SAF wanted those African ones.Scholes can’t be out there for ever.
If we don’t have the money for a playmaker (any ideas SAF?) then Carrick can get that role.BUT,even then why should we buy O.H. for 20m.
DE ROSSI is everywhere in the pitch ,too.He is younger,he is dirty when he should be and he has the Roy Keane winning-spirit.He deserves a 20m fee more than anyone else.I think he is top-class because he also has a great short pass and a shot.
And if we have to give money to those Germans, we can buy the great side mid-playmaker SCHWEISTEIGER.Unbeliveable long shots,good passes and long balls and great ability to hold the ball.Marvelous young player.
Now this is a mid-line.The Dribbler,the playmaker,the fighting def-midfielder and the talented one.And it’s not Giggs,Scholes,Keane and Beckham.It’s Ronaldo,Carrick,De Rossi,and Schweisteiger.
But we need 50-60m.Never read the Guardian,we are interested in more players than O.H. and HAVE A NICE DAY!Never read the Guardian!

Puuuulease. I totally agree with Ahmed. Mascherano WAS good but that was because he played against lousy oppositions. Has anyone actually seen him play in Europe? Nope. Not until the Hammers brought him in, and even then he warmed the bench. Now Liverpools got him and hopefully he has settled in to the pace of the Premiership, but he hasnt really impressed me yet. OH is definitely better, but 17 million is overpriced. 12 would be more like it. And Heinze as a DM? Have you seen his passing and crosses? Youve got to be kidding me. Evra as giggs replacement!?!? Might as well have Van Der Sar play Stiker..OH will be a good addition no doubt. Add that to Nani and we’ve got THE BEST squad in Europe. ROCK ON MANU!
