How long do you think he'll stick around content to be a Man Utd bench warmer?
Will he leave this summer? I'd love to see him go to Newcastle, but rumour has it that we have our eye on Sa Pinto.
What do you think?

Solskjaer will go to Leeds. O'Leary has always been a fan of his and the rumours have been circulating for a while now about him going there.
United will bring Erik Nevland back from his loan to be back up for Cole, Yorke and Sheringham.
If he does go it will be a shame because he is a good player but I prefer Cole anyway.

Oh man, don't start me on Newcastle's striking dilema. Shearer is not going anywhere so we can presume he is the permanent fixture. Ferguson must fancy one of the nurses in the sickroom, the amount of time he's spent out since joining the Mags. Temuri works his socks of but Premier defences have gotten wise to his unpredictable ways and is largely ineffective. For both club and player, the guy needs a move. Paul Robinson still has a long way to go, he played a bit under Ruud, but has been on the periphery under Robson albeit injury related. Personally I would sell Ferguson and buy a nippy floor guy in the mould of Pedro Beardsley. I would also purchase a bit of quality in midfield, someone who can run with the ball and create around the edge of the area. A decent winger wouldn't go a miss and a centre half who can command the defence and organise at the back too. A concept unheard of in my many years of supporting the Toon. I have deliberately not mentioned the players to come in as I wholly trust Mr. Robson's transfer accumen and pray that the old boy sticks around long enough to manage us the top of the Premier League.

I agree. Newcastle need someone new to play up front with Shearer.
Someone quick and with a good eye for goal to play off Shearer. Someone with a record of scoring vital goals in vital matches but isn't old. Someone who is injury free and has no record of bad injuries.
Is it me or does this proposed striker bear an uncanny similarity with a slightly unsettled No.20 at Man U???

Come on Bobby! The old man is barking up the wrong tree in Portugal! Sa Pinto isn't our man. He's gotta go back home and shop for OLE!
God knows we can afford him. He's not a really expensive striker. You can bet he'd also be one hell of a partner to Shearer up front.
Sorry, but Temuri IS NOT gonna cut it. Sell him.
Get someone young, proven, and a hot prospect for the future.

Yep, that's right. Nevland belongs to Viking, here in Norway, and he's been scoring a lot of goals too!
Ole won't go anywhere.
