| i would like to see brown stay, but in the event if he does leave on free transfer, i would go for lahm. lahm is a quality full back. he can play on both left and right. yes, he may be a right footed player, but look what o'shea did for us a few seasons ago on the left back position? he did a quality job, even though he's right footed. i believe, lahm would be that way too. furthermore, i doubt if lahm arrives at OT, he wouldnt be required on the left, evra doesnt seem to get injured. but before we get lahm, i would like everyone to consider hargreaves at right back. he has played that at the start of his career at bayern munich. and he did it before for us too. since he isnt getting that much games at central midfield, we could do with him deputising at right back too. and we have simpsons, who's looking like a potential quality right back.
as for a striker, i think berbatov may just prove impossible with ramos arrival at spurs. not even a season, he won the carling cup. isnt that telling he's a good manager? well, i think if we really need a striker, we need a physical tall striker to complement rooney/tevez. not crouch, yes, he's tall, but he certainly doesnt have the physique to bully defenders. what man united lack in their game is a big physical tall striker, who can really bully defenders. recent united games have shown manutd lack that kind of player to hold up the ball in the final third. this player need not be a clinical finisher. rooney, tevez and ronaldo can benefit when he holds the ball and release it for them into the penalty box. they are more than able finishers in it. speaking of this, dont manucho fit the bill? but just get a backup, in case he's another injury prone dude, like saha. yes, we could do away with saha. he isnt contributing much, and look like he's passing his prime. as for nominating someone, i cannot think of someone now. possibly we could just grab dean ashton from west ham, he has the potential to be a class act. but speaking again, he's been out with injury quite a few times, so might turn out to be another saha? well, then, maybe everyone should wait till summer and see what the great ferguson says.
