Look at Nady's sig for why that's a bad idea. Who is going to make up those 32 goals? And is Rooney even that great in the midfield? Midfielders honestly aren't that hard to find, but you have to actually buy someone. You're telling me it would have been hard to get Sahin last summer?
I don't know man, maybe. Ferguson has been unsuccesfully trying to replace Scholes for a while. I still think that if we can buy a world class striker he would get as many goals as Rooney. A lot of those goals are from pks and some freekicks, Rooney has been playing this season more as an attacking midfielder, same position Scholes used to play like 10 years ago.

Yea, Modrić would be good, especially now when Spurs fans are not delighted with him, and if Spurs don't catch CL place Modrić's staying at club will be very questionable.
I was quite impressed with Bannan in the last game TBH. He's no Modric, Scholes or Sneijder but he would cost half their price and he's just 22. He could develop into the "next big thing". Having a good left footed player as well would help in FKs and corners.
Under proper guidance, I think he can become very effective in our squad.

Bannan is a decent player but signing him wouldn't exactly be a glorious step forward. If you're targeting youngsters I rate Rodwell as a better prospect. Modric is your man - Ferguson has made no secret about wanting him and he wont be so difficult to get as last season, and even if Chelsea come after him again I would expect him to pick champions United over Europa League\fourth place scrapers Chelsea provided you make a decent offer. Shame, I would really like to see him in blue.
I don't think Bannan is good enough for United yet. He's only getting playing time on and off and because of Petrov's illness. But he's got stuff thart you can't teach and with experience he'll become excellent, I'm sure of it.

We tend to develop this kind of players well (i.e. Low profile average guy but talented in some aspects of the game) plus he's only 22 and we could get him for cheap. Look into what Valencia has developed for instance. Valencia too was average at best before he came. He's now one of our best players.
Maybe Cleverley or Anderson are better than him overall but Bannan's vision and long balls are definitely better. He offers something that our other midfielders don't. Scholes is the only one who's good at long balls. Rooney too but he's a striker.
