what does ronaldinho look like for PSG has anyone seen? and i dont mean his googly face i mean his form 
One Player
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
Henry, he is the best forward in the world at the moment and he would give us what we dont have - pace up front. I really dont see what the fuss is about Ronaldinho. I watched all the Brazil WC games but he's certainly no Rivaldo and while he was a good player I must be missing something? Dont seem to hear too much about him with PSG either.

he's coming good just as the english autumn is arriving when he'll not fancy it again. . .shame.
You're the team who bought a shed load of sun loving African's this summer.
We'll see how they respond to the British winter shall we.
Seba will don his thermals do the bizz, no worries.
So with Henry not delivering for the French team where would that leave Ruud on the scale of world strikers? Ronny did make a nice run for the 1st goal but £25m based on that?? Joe Cole could do that for half the price.
Having Henry (or Trezaguet or even Owen) up front alongside Ruud would frighten the shite out of the opposition. A couple of years ago we were lightening quick on the counter attack but we dont have that any more, except for Giggs and he cant hit a barn door most of the time. We lack speed up front and except for Micky and Rio we lack speed at the back as well. This is going to give us a lot of problems during the season and is one of the reasons we didn't cut it last year. Its great having a Veron to "break open" a tight european defence but what would make it easier for Seba would be a sprinter up front to play the ball over the top to, we cant do that at the moment.

Easy, Eidur Gudjohnsen. He made Hasselbaink's job so much easier last season, Ruud could get 50 goals a season with that fella alongside him.
buy that bloke from france! erm whats he called? eric cantona...
What United needs is a player who is able to step up and grab a game by the balls. Cantona had the ability to do this. There is only one other player right now who can do this, and its Zidane. I don't care how old he is, nobody can determine a game like he can. He is one of the only players who could fill that void of the player behind the striker in Fergie's beloved 4-5-1 system. Fecking brilliant player.
Funny nobody has said Robert Pires.
Duff. Just the type of player we need. Great skill, great potential, and should be able to settle in immediately.
The problem with Duff is that he's a left winger. So do we rotate him with Giggs or move Giggs into the middle with Ruud? Look at DD when he plays for Ireland, he starts off upfront with Rkeane and always ends up on the left where he "suddenly" becomes more dangerous.
Iker Casillas.
Mitchell Thomas

Good call, but how fecking much would he cost?? He's unbuyable.
That's the problem!
We have an advantage over most clubs as we are one of the few who can potentially spend a fair whack of cash at the start of each season.
I do think, though, that SAF has let Kenyon's generosity go to his head a little. We should invest £30 odd mill in 3 or 4 quality players to boost the squad. We don't need stars, we've got enough. We don't have the resources, or the governmental backing to play fantasy football like Real.
That's why I'd go for Gudjohnsen, who I reckon we could get for abt £12 mill, maybe less if Chelsea miss out on Europe again, a pair of full-backs(maybe Escude and Burdisso for a total of abt £10-11 mill) and Duff for £14-15 mill. That's about £37 mill in fees on young players who, you would think, would only appreciate in value for the next 5 years (esp. the defenders) and, more importantly, provide us with a solid young squad for the foreseeable.

I've got another Idea!
JoaquÍn Sánchez Rodríguez
He's a fantastic young Betis player, and would do us good IMO! Great on the right wing for Spain in the World Cup too, and only just turned 22!
Great right midfield player he will be.

The ideal buy would of course be a 26 year old Eric Cantona. It shouldn't be that big a problem, only invent a time machine and bring him here.
Failing that then my choice would be Ronaldinho.

Henry is happy with Arsenal. If he leaves it will be for a foreign club.</strong><hr></blockquote>
he'll sign for united next season.

He's Spanish, he plays for the most successful team at the moment, why would he leave Real ?
Anyway, the board has bought Ricardo, the priority is certainly not to buy again another keeper.
I would say "Patrick Vieira". But like Henry, he'll nevre come .
We should have bought Petit when he was avalaible. He was one of the few French players who didn't play too bad during the WC.
Ronaldinho and Cissé, would be nice if they come.

henry's the best forward in the PL IMO.
agreed about Ronny and cisse.. we need those types of players... they have alot skill and can take players on.
i really would have joe cole, i started a topic a few days ago about him! but i really would like to see him in the mighty reds shirt....
This looks righht for our next great winger!
We've already got some of the best players in the world.
How many do we have to buy before we realise that it's more than the personnel???
Yes, we need to strengthen, no argument.
But how has JSV, or Ruud, or Rio, made our results any better! They haven't - they're worse. Which means it goes deeper than just the players.

So what are you implying Livvie?

What's being Spanish got to do with it? And I was just replying to Raoul's original question, nothing to do with whether he'd come or not, just what I would like to see.
I know that you are a Barthez lover (in fact anyone French or that plays in France looking at your other posts), but face facts, he's past it, and I would like to see the future best goalkeeper in the world in our team!
If you don't mind?
Weaste, I agree, Joaquin looks like a fecking class player, and still very young. Would love to see him challenge Becks for that RW role.
Me too mate, all we need then is to find someone to give Giggs a good kick up the arse. <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />
