Would you guys exchange Veron against Crespo + cash??It is a tough call for me as Veron is my favourite player in Man Utd and Crespo one of my favourites in Lazio.But our midfield got Scholes too.Crespo-Rvn +the supply from Giggs and Beckham.Would like to buy Crespo straight off for cash and then buy 2 defenders.It will cost about 50 million but the new managers transfer kitty will probably go to Fergie(although it is the plc).Then we sell some fringe players like Yorke,May and ???.They will probably bring in about 6 million.
The usual Veron subject
- Thread starter Richter
- Start date
If this were pure fiction/fantasy and a matter of balancing the books, then yes, I would swap the two players and give Lazio no more than 5m, and then immediately buy D'Allesndro.
Realistically it will never happen, and I hope that Seba stays on.

No way id let Veron go, hes one of the top 4 midfielders in the world. Thank god Fergie agrees with me on this one.
Keep Seba at all costs, which won't be to hard seen as he wants to stay.
Crespo = overated twat and media bullshite

He still was top scorer last year in Serie A.And that in the most defensive league of all leagues,(im not ruling liverpool out).
We shouldn't have to change anything in our midfield for a few years when Keano's contract expires. We need two defenders and a young striker. That's it.
Why did we buy Forlan??.We need a new partner for Rvn even if Solskjaer is a class player.
we need two defenders as Raouls just suggested..not sure about a new young striker tho' as we've got Forlan..and Yorke's still at the club (will he EVER move on?) <img src="graemlins/annoyed.gif" border="0" alt="[Annoyed]" />
greetings jedi....hey giggzy, who says we need a new defender....we still have david may....he's twice the defender nesta will ever be
Seba aint going nowhere, i must admitt earlier on in the season, i thought me might sell him, and buy rivaldo for a cut price, but now i believe he will stay.
The only transfer i'm going to try and predict, is that ayala will be a manchester united player this summer.
I do think one more defender, maybe hofland (all dependent on price of course) and another striker, i would not rule out PDC.

The left hand side will start to become a concern in about 3 years time. Giggs is inevitably going to start to loose some of his pace at some point!
I agree long term search for a left midfield player, in the short term i believe that for the purpose of cover, damien duff, would provide effective cover for giggs, similar type player, pace, skill etc..
In the long term, a player we shoulod buy although slightly different from the giggs type, but not far off, is the ajax, 18 yr old midfielder
Rafael Van Der Vaart, he is feckin quality can play in the centre and on the left, is young, scores goals, effective ball distribution, very mobile and scarily enough @ 18 already worth about £20 million! we should pre contract this geezer, real or someone else get their hands on him!

or someone else get their hands on him!Maybe Fletcher but Chadwick will not make it.Maybe if he scares the opponents lol.Think Kewell will be a great replacement for Giggs.
I agree with Cigar. Buy Van Der Vaart. He is superb!
Chadwick as yet to convince me to be honest. He still seems to pass opponents through a combination of stumbling and total unpredictability in what he's going to do as a result of his inability to control the ball. He always looks like he's got the ball stuck under his feet and as though he's gonna fall over until miraculously he's passed his man! It's either genius or luck. I'll go with the latter.
What about this Richardson feller in the youth team?
People who've seen him is raving - he's supposed to be the hottest young property at the club (along with Mads Timm) and a player in the Giggs mould...

Haven't seen enough of Fletcher to know if he's good enough. As for Chadwick making it, he'll continue to be a squad player, and will eventually want out because of lack of playing time.

He's a cross between Kanu and Rodney Trotter

i reckon Pires looks like Trigger.
Now theres no need to quote me on two seperate forums love but Ill answer again anyway.
If we had Crespo he would be my first choice partner to Van Nistelrooy, but we have'nt got him and I would'nt give up Veron or pay 30 plus million for him, because I don't think he's worth it, which in other words he's overated

I apologise.
I obviously misunderstood the words "over-rated twat", and also misunderstood the fact that you said you would choose said "over-rated twat" over Ole.</strong><hr></blockquote>
He is overated in the fact that he's not as good as peopple say he is, this int saying that he's shit or anything.
And Anyway Livvie we all know Oles more of a super sub
Nothing wrong with Ole/Ruud but we need worldclass cover.Forlan isnt there yet.

Come on Michael. Admit you cocked up.
If you'd said you rated Crespo, but didn't want to swap him for Veron, that's one thing. But you said on one forum you prefer Crespo to Ole, and on here that he's an over-rated twat.
Which doesn't say much for Ole does it.

So Im a little loose with my words, but common sense would be enough to no Im not having a dig at Ole.
I don't see the point in discussing it anyway because common sense would be that Crespo int coming to us
Us buying Crespo is a highly unlikely scenario, despite what the papers are saying. As I see it, we won't have more than between 40-50m to spend this summer, upwards of which 80% or so will go to buying two quality defenders (maybe even three if Blanc leaves), and the remaining 20% or so going to a striker. Thus Crespo would be out of our spending range and our needs.
