Just saw SAF on Sky Sports confirming Forlan is on his way - but he also said he still wants PDC - it's 'in the hands of West Ham now'. Sounds like United have made another bid then... and this was definitely straight from Fergie's mouth - not speculation...
Ooooooh! : dontknowwhattothinksmiley :
well why not..? 
I don't know whether we need another forward now. Probably not.
It would make sense though. Yorke isn't up to it anymore, everyone knows that, and SAF has always said he wants four strikers. PDC would give us something different...
Yeah well if this is true, then Yorke has been shown the door already...
Not just shown the door manu4e... probably kicked through it....
Yeah <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />
but kicked where?? West Ham? Boro (poor people) or Aston Villa?? or maybe Fulham??

Calm down will ya?!! i agree that we should be looking for a defender now.....
But what if yorke goes?!!
Quite right JOBT, quite right, out with the Yorke man and in with Ayala No, lets save the Yorke money, put it together with the Stam money, take the 1 million still left from the Cole money, and give it to the new manager along with a 20 million quid pressie for joining. I make that 45 million for him to spend.

I want to see Cisse in the summer

List of defenders when fit...
G.Neville
P.Neville
Silvestre
Blanc
Brown
Irwin
O'shea
Johnsen
May
List of forwards when fit....
Solskjaer
Van Nistelrooy
Yorke (hmmmmm)
Still think we need a defender?
I think Forlan alone is enough. It's unlikely that we'll have both Ole and Ruud injured, and there is also back-up in the form of Giggs, Scholes, and a few youngsters.
iam still confident that we'll get PDC..
What are the odds on both Ole and Ruud getting injured at the same time?
Should never have let Teddy go IMO!
Who let him go? He wanted to go.
Money talks! And paying him a bit more for SAFs last season would have been far better than paying 3.5mil for PDC!
teddy wanted to go...his heart was always at Spurs.

G.Neville - Recovered form, thankfully.
P.Neville - Southampton and Villa, yeah.
Silvestre - Great prospect, still to develop fully
Blanc - One season.
Brown - Lost confidence.
Irwin - Great player, a season too far.
O'shea - Great prospect, but young.
Johnsen - Will he ever be fit?
May - Doubt if he'll play for United again.
Six fit players for four positions.
List of forwards when fit....
Solskjaer
Van Nistelrooy
Forlan
Yorke/PDC
Giggs
Five fit playsers for two positions.

The maths say so.

I'm glad your maths is good cos your Grammar is shit.
Forlan (not signed yet)
DI canio (not signed yet)
Yorke (Shit)
Giggs (Better on the left)
Try going to watch the team then you may be able to give an objective opinion.

Well... if this is true... then it must be most likely that Yorke might be on his way out of the door....!!!

Might still get Cisse even with PDC arriving..there are many managers that like to have 5 strikers esp. if one is rather old..PDC in this case..Arsenal have 5 strikers....Henry, Wiltord, Kanu, Jeffers and Bergkamp
I hope we get Di Canio I think he would be a marvelous signing

Roy has my absolute support here for his point ... which make a defender signing now (before CL closing) if any, a much wiser signing ...
It's easy to say what would be best, but it's not a perfect world. In one, we would be signing a new striker AND a new defender. Problem is, we pretty much know which striker we are talking about, but what defender is available at less than multi-million cost? And can play in Europe?
I saw McLaren talking after Boro's game and he said he was very interested in Yorke. Seems to me there's a good chance he'll be going to Middlesbrough and if so, we're likely to end the Di Canio saga with the Italian in the bag to complete our new dream quartet.
So as things go, if we can't find a defender that suits us, might as well make sure we are ever scarier in attack. We are, after all, Manchester United.

Very nice to think that way, but if the new manager wants Cisse so much and can get him, he can also decide to get rid of someone (Assumingly not Ruud or Ole!)...
NOW we need 4 strikers who would bother to try, not a Dwight Yorke, so Di Canio in would be just fine.
United have just made a fresh bid for Di Canio this morning.
Tribal football report. Manchester United are set to finally clinch the transfer of Paolo Di Canio from West Ham this week.
United will land the Italian in a £2.7 million deal - which includes a £400,000 sweetener that will allow West Ham to cover Di Canio's loyalty bonus.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed the club had made a fresh bid, saying: "We're still waiting to hear from West Ham."
