Should we move to sign a striker as short term cover or bide our time and buy the man who we need for the future and not buy knee jerk so to speak - I'm thinking Gudjonsson here who I'm not keen on.
Ole's out, new striker in?

Ole out?
No way.
No way.
Potential ligament damage.

We haven`t got alot of time for this transfer. I am abit worried....
I wouldn't panick just yet until we find out how bad it really is.
Only planetfootball reporting it so far, and it wasn't on MUTV's Red Hot News, perhaps because there's been no diagnosis yet, he might be lucky and not damaged any ligaments. We can get by without Ole now anyway as everyone else is back, Ole's played more as a winger this season that striker so we just play Beckham and Giggs. I just hope for his own sake that its not too serious if anything at all.
At least he ran out the last few minutes of the game, so fingers crossed.
A new striker should be a prioty. If Ruud was ever to get injured we would be fecked. I say we bring in Beattie from Southamptom Plays like Ruud, is a better dribbler and won't be cup tied. But Ole out?? HELL NO! He IS our cover for David Beckham.
...UNless we afe getting Cisse to replace him along with Beattie...... 
Fergie is determined to play the single striker formation and who's to argue with him (yet!). Ruud needs to recapture his form pretty quickly and I see no reason why he can't. Bearing this in mind and injuries permitting, we probably don't need another striker even if Ole is unfit for any length of time. Scholes, Forlan and maybe even Nardiello can fill in. Then there's Webber when he's fit and Giggs can play an upfront role although I think he's far more vital for us down the left. The only issue that worries me is that Ruud is the only one who can "lead" the line so if he's missing or off form we might be a little lightweight upfront. Anyway let's hope Ole's injury is not serious.
Ole leaving?This is a joke mate.While I stressed the importance of a 4th striker,now we need a squad striker,a striker who is happy to sit on the bench.
We have been linked to Salas.

3million according to the sun
I think he'd be interesting at that price. Not sure that he'd be happy to move to another club to be a second striker though.
I think that it's going to be difficult because anyone that we'd really want is going to be cup tied for Europe. I can see SAF waiting until the summer and then bringing in a new striker. I'd like to see Bellamy came from Newcastle - he's strong, good pace, and seems to have a great will to win. Not sure if he would come to United though. Shevchenko would be a great buy too, and would probably be more likely to join United.
Like I said before, if we need a striker (and we do), it's not for Champions League only. So if we can pick the right one we should do it now even if he can't play in several of his early matches in a 4.5 years contract!
But I suspect we might be simply waiting until a certain french club sells a certain french striker (which won't happen till the summer ofcource).
And no, I'm not talking about Christophe Dugarry.

Rebrov ffs!
Cheap, not cup-tied, will no doubt be willing to rotate as any game is better than none, and where better than OT to restore his reputation.
We have nowt to lose!

One man's flop is another man's saviour. Edgar Davids joined Milan a few years back from Ajax and was a complete failure. Joined Juventus in mid season and turned their season around, helping them to the Europen cup final.
I'm not saying we should sign Rebrov, but from what I've seen of him, he's worth a bet at 1 million.

----> Ole is a irreplaceable.
I hope this is just media hype and he pulls through OK.

Pulls through? He has a knee injury - he isn't in a coma!
But I know what you mean.
Thats the same Hoddle who didn't think Owen was a natural scorer and didn't want to start with him and Becks in World Cup 98.
Great judge of talent he is!
Sergei Rebrov may not be the worlds greatest striker, but he is certainly a better player than what Hoddle makes of him.
