Luxury...
I love these...
United's main problem is obviously in central midfield, so the main transfer targets should fit into those positions. Of course the transfer situation would rely on the futures of Ruud and Ronaldo, so I'll post a few scenarios:
1. No one leaves
+ Juan Roman Riquelme (Villareal, Spain)
Fantastic playmaker with great physique to match.
Extreme vision and killer passes. Set pieces / Freekick specialist.
+ Gennaro Gattuso (AC Milan, Italy)
Midfield dynamo in the Keane-mold. 27; and experienced at that.
With that engine, he still has 5 years in him. Great defensive player.
+ Kristoffer Haestad (IK Start, Norway)
Young norwegian international with an unbelievable engine. Tenacious, fit and skilled.
Ripped Andrea Pirlo to shreds in Norways WC-qualifier against Italy.
A man to fill Gattuso's boots in the long run.
+ Nuri Sahin
17 year old turkish wonderkid. Awesome technical abilities, INCL. the end product.
Creative midfielder/winger/support striker(?) Could be trained for the future.
If not Riquelme, then Deco or Källstrom (Källstrom; swedish, plays in France.)
If not Gattuso, then Cambiasso/Hargreaves/Mascherano/Carrick (in that order)
2. Ruud leaves, Ronaldo stays.
+ Same as above
+ Fernando Torres (Atletico Madrid, Spain)
Young, great physique, very skilled and a proven dangerman. Aerial ability.
Would really blossom under Fergie.
If not Torres, then Trezeguet? or Ronaldo from Real
LOL
3. Ruud stays, Ronaldo leaves.
+ Same as the first scenario.
+ Joaquin, Vicente or Lennon.
4. Both leave.
+ Same as the first scenario.
+ Torres, etc.
+ Joaquin etc.
I sure hope they would move on Riquelme though...
