Needs to change his underwear
anyway if Duff decides to join us, i've got a bad feeling Disco is gonna spoil it by not gog the other way. I don't see the PLC spending 20m on him unless there's other developments.

oh dear...what are you, 6 years old?!.....those are some pretty dumb comments.....
even in today's inflated market, no way is duff worth more than 13mil quid....and for god's sake, he's not world class yet ok, the potential is there, but just not yet in the class of overmars & giggs, who incidentally is quite simply the best, most exciting winger around at the moment, NOT duff .... and about that dig at veron.... ohh why bother, prawn sandwich idiots....duff for 20 mil quid <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

Ferdinand
Thuram
Duff
Ayala
Poom
All included on our short-list
If we get any of them is another matter - if not, we'll move on to other targets I presume.

I agree
I'm sure we're after another attacking player as well - but those are the ones I know Sir Alex had on the top of his list.

fair enough. . .i wouldn't say duff is the answer to your forward situation 'cos he's yet to impress me as a front-man. . .as a winger he's great, but striker? no.
surprised you lot haven't taken an interest in robbie keane to be honest. . .

Answer to our forward situation? It's not as if we're struggling in that department!
I'd like us to sign Robbie Keane, but I don't think Sir Alex rates him that highly.

There's still bad blood there I think. We do need a 4th striker, preferably a creative link man like Di Canio (still a possibility considering what Alex has been saying about him this summer), or alternatively a really pacy striker.

I agree - And Duff would give us that option..

Only thing that concerns me about either Duff or Giggs up front is their finishing - our link strikers in the past have also got in a good number of goals.

Scoring goals is not our problem - creating chances was often a problem last season though. If we create, we will score goals - Ruud, Ole, Scholes and Beckham will make sure of that - and even Giggs scored 10+ goals last season, if I'm not mistaken.

I mean if in those games where they pack the defense and we therefore decide to play the link man instead of Ole, with Ruud, then I'd want that link striker to also be capable of scoring goals themselves. Yorke and Sheringham were both prolific scorers in their best seasons for us, and Cantona sure scored a lot of important goals too. Would Duff? Ronaldinho might. Di Canio does, though perhaps not that many now.

Haven't heard anything about Lopez apart from what's been in the press.
I was impressed with him at Valencia, but he's struggled at Lazio

Some peeps on the RedIssue forum think there is some truth in this - but after the July 5th and Gallas hoaxes I think we'll just have to wait and see.

I know nothing about Gallas, apart from the rumours on here last week. I do know we were speaking to a player in Manchester last week though, who is likely to have been French because his representatives were.

chicken, you calling di Canio a chicken?!?!? you're in for it matey....
yes, yes, all you've said is pinpoint accurate, but he'd bring the Cantona element back(ok, not all of it, doesn't quite spout the linguistic brilliance of le god)....just think, we'd might even see another kungfu display, no.....one of the remaining few who plays with his heart on his sleeve....brilliant player.....still think he'd suit United down to a button.....
