Who do we want up front with RVN?
I think Anelka would have been a good buy.
We need someone quick off the mark.

Back to the topic title though...
If/when United do buy A N Other striker, I hope it's someone with blazing speed as I think that's the only thing our team as a whole lacks.
Giggsy seems to have lost a step lately, maybe he is not going 100% in an attempt to coddle his hammy's. Diego looks to have some quickness but, as someone has mentioned in another thread, he's been played, so far, behind Ruud &/or Ole. He needs to be played up front on the shoulder of the opposition CB's before we can judge his speed.
Anyway, I'm quite happy with Ole & Ruud as our two starters with Diego & A N Other backing up as needed.

Giggs lost a step? He was blazing fast in his 60 yrd run against Germany
how much is Crespo?
he's really unsettled with the Lazio prez. same age as RVN, just as deadly.

IMO, last season, RG didn't look as fast as he has prior.
He is a player who uses his speed with the ball at his feet. I'd like a striker who has the Owenesque ability to blaze past a CB and run on to a through ball. The way Giggsy is played, he won't often get that opportunity coz he plays, in the main, out wide.
Anyway, I didn't see him v Germany but good to hear he was blazing fast still.

Coincidence. I sneaked a peak at work.
Buy Lee Choo-Shu of South Korea

i say we stick with Forlan/Ole up front next to RVN.
we don't really need another big name forward.
if we do get one as a 4th striker i think some young kid from the cash-strapped clubs in Argentina will do.

Four strikers are a necessity
Mia?

Fergie already started to kick out Yorke by publicly urged him to go in an interview. He is definitely preparing the space for another new forward. It's very difficult to guess who we are going to get, but we will definitely get one, and that one will definitely not Anelka. We simply have no point to sign a player who is interested in money more than football and has a habit to change club every year.
If we're looking for someone 'quick off the mark' I can't think of anyone better than Craig Bellamy. He had a super season last year - the main reason Newcastle were challenging for so long. Electric pace, much better finishing, looks five times the player he did at Coventry - and he's young. Newcastle weren't half the team when he got injured. He created so much space that even an old cnut like Shearer could bag 20-odd goals in the league. He could be worth a try?
Realistically, there are only a few players who could partner RVN.
Ole, Henry, Trezeguet, Cisse, Ronaldo...come to mind. There aren't many though.

Ruud and Ole will be next season's #1 strike partnership again, no doubt about that. Diego looks good, but I really see potential in Dean Ashton of Crewe - only 18, but there is definately promise there.

i thought everyone was talking about a striker with speed.
Says Who? Ole and Ruud are fast enough. All we need is some one of similar soeed with the skills to blend midfield with attack, able to dribble the s**t out of defenders and score goals as well. It would keep attention fronm Ruud /Ole, give em more space to score and help us whip the scouse and Bayern.

I don't think so. Individually Ruud and Ole are both terrific finishers, but as a partnership they are far from perfect. I think Fergie also know that and he never has 100% faith on Ruud+Ole partnership (He left Ole on the bench in Leverkusen's match -- the most important match of us in this season). We will sign a new forward with some special ability to challenge the defence (either by speed, or by skill, creativity), and then the new comer will form an excellent partnership with Ruud in next season.
