Gotta love Paul Merson on soccer special "He's been tapped up, simple as. Forget the real madrids, barcelonas, United are THE biggest club in the world, you don't say you want to leave unless you have something in place. Who's to say City, real or Chelsea want you? You wouldn't leave yourself open to that". I'm guessing it will be City, how would Tevez react to not being top dog? Conisdering a few think he's "overated" would the City fans like him at Eastlands?

One of the mates said he says he saw Torres at OT last thursday which was confirmed by one of the security lads at the weekend Depending what fee we can get for him i'd like to see us try for Van Der Vartt like fergie should have done before he went to Spuds, quality left sided player and a fit Torres.

Gibson isn't ever going to be good enough from what i've seen, ok he can hit a ball but his passing is woeful for the first team it may work in the reserves but not against the big boys. I've seen Obertan a few times for the reserves and he's got all the attributes to be a quality footballer but he just doesn't seem able to bring all those attributes together.

Hernandez will murder teams who play with a high line but against teams who park the bus he's pretty ineffective. But he's still learning the English game so i'll give him time to adjust.

Macheada seems to have stagnated a little since his debut some say he things he's a bit of a superstar and has had to be brought into line a few times.

At Torres being at OT. Do people really believe that he'd turn up at a rival's game with a view to a move in the future? Common sense trumps any steward's myth.


As for Rooney, well, I think he's not good enough for Real or Barca, so maybe Valencia will want him, or even Atletico if Aguero leaves. Can't see who'd want him/afford him in Serie A, Rafa knows he's gash so he won't want him, maybe Roma.

Anyone see Totti's pass tonight? Glorious.

James is better defensivley thats for sure, i do like the look of Eikrem though

On form? Drogba is better than Rooney on form, as is Torres, whilst I'd put Tevez on a par at least.

Anyway, as for Rooney's replacement, it all depends on what way Fergie wants to go. If he wants a proper striker, Dzeko would be a class signing, if he wants a striker with pace, then Aguero would be a good shout.

If he's looking for a midfield player, then he should go straight to Brazil and sign Ganso.

I hope it isn't Dzeko or Aguero. Hate it when a player I like signs for Man Yoo.

You seem to be clued up on the world football scene. I'd like to know what you think about Hernandez?

May be too late on Dzeko if some reports are too be believed: www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/20 ... urg-report On Rooney, he's not gash though mate. He may be overrated with how some people see him on the world scene but he's far from gash. I'd say he's only second to Drogba in the PL, he's better than Tevez IMO - although the way he's going this season that could change - he's as good as, if not better than, Torres.

I think Suarez might be an option, Utd also linked with a midfielder from there too.
