Bernard Mendy - Same fee as Heinze since he came from same club...I think it was around the 4m mark? But max I would pay for him would be 8m...I started a thread about him in the transfers section so you guys can check out a small vid on him their...he is a carbon copy of Evra just on the right and I think he is the best and cheap option and wouldn't mind sitting on the bench a little while Brown and Gary play during the season...

Phillip Lahm - I would pay up to 12m for him...his a world class full back who can play both lb and rb and can play as a wing back too but could be a little costly like Hargreaves was but he would be a world class addition and I would love to see him at OT! He has experience and has played in a top club hence knows the pressure to deliver all the time and has european and international experience and lets snap him up before euro 08 when his fee doubles because of his good performances lol

Daniel Alves - Going to be very expensive...I think Chelsea had a 20m offer rejected? Max I would pay is same as Lahm 12m and maybe 15m but imo thats a little too much for a rb when we still have Brown and Gary and O'Shea who can all play their and don't forget about the two Brazillian twins and Simpson! He is a good quality rb but critics say he spends most of his time attacking instead of defending but I think he would do really well especially with Ronaldo on the right flank since they are both Portugese speaking players.

Oélilton Araújo dos Santos aka Etto (first suggested by Crooney) - He would be perfect if you were willing to take a gamble and just for having a backup to Gary and Brown and O'Shea. A gamble in the Manucho sense...iv seen him a little and looks impressive and will move to a bigger club imo like Modric, Krajncar, Corluka, Eduardo all did from Dinamo Zagreb

Willy Sagnol - Good experienced rb who has vast amounts of international/european experience and would fit into the team well imo...

Micah Richards - Don't see a city boy comming to United..don't think any fee will tempt Sven or that Thailand primeminster

Christian Lell - Bayarn Munich youth academy product...there first choice rb now over Sagnol...either we can get him (his 23) for a young replacement of Gary OR we can get an older rb with expereince in Sagnol who isn't a first team player anymore thanks to Lell..so far as iv seen him his been good and strong and consistent like Brown this season.

Vedran Corluka - I initially thought we should of purchased him for our long term replacement of Neville but City got him and it was on of their top buys imo this season...

i doubt we'll sign a right back, gary neville's gonna have another season, wes brown just signed a contract and SAF has alot of belief in him - wes browns played the most games this season out of all man utd players - then we've got danny simpson coming through, aswell as the young brazilian full backs coming over in the summer.
If we wer to buy a rb i would choose daniel alves i tink we would suit are type of football
imagine dani alves and ronaldo on the right! its an awesome thought...
Phil Lahm or Sagnol both experience, preferably Lahm due to age.
alves, micah richards or even lahm or sagnol
I would have Glen Johnson ahead of all of them. He's fantastic every time I watch him, going forward and defensively.
Anthony Van Den Borre is an excellent young right back, he would be great for us.
shouldn't we get an experienced right back first??
Do we need a young RB or an old one ? hm.....
bosingwa is out of the running ?? :eek:
anyway..would like to see a young RB as nevile can be our experienced guy....
someone like lahm or alves will do...
Alves! or Glen Johnson, he has really matured since he left Chelsea.
Danny Simpson.............Free, bright future...
But he not good when facing strength to strength
we don't need bosingwa.........If we sign him our team will be just like Arsenal or Liverpool..........Arsenal ( France Team ) and Liverpool ( Spaniard Team )
Alves / lahm would be the right choice, they would fit in nicely with utd style of play

One from 22 to 26 years not 29+ age
I don't think we need RB, Gary/Brown/Owen/O'shea can play there. But Bosingwa would be the best choice imho.
