He run... and was very good at it no one can argue his energy and effort but i think thats where it ends. You cant help love the Alan smiths, Parks, Tevez's of this world. He could of got away with it being a midfeilder but as a striker... theres a reason SAF dragged his feet and I doubt it was to do with the price.
Owen is a cheap super sub type replacement... a ballon d'or player who due to a series of misfortunate events ended up in the bargin basket. Hes worth a gamble it may pay off, it may not but at that price... why not. Either way we still have plenty of money to burn and unlike some other teams we can afford to take the risk.
As for Ronaldo... he will be missed. We have had players like him go before, players that were missed but look what always happens. We come back to winning form as we will this time. Infact I think the team will function better without him now as it did when RVN left. Worst case we will have a drought a season or two but i'd expect us to do well domestically and wouldnt be suprised if we went far in the champions league with the other English teams too. I still fancy our chances vs any of the top european teams

And don't forget that Tevez scored 14 goals in his first season, Berbatov got only 9. But you guys still consider Berbatov as a GOD and Tevez as a flop...
Help?;2696542 said:He still talking about it. He is just bitter that he is not the main forward, if he doesn't want to fight for his place than he shouldn't be in the team.

we have owen, rooney and berbatov...plus macheda and wellback to cover..
a strong am or winger is needed...
bring on lennon
If that is the case..find a place to put berbatov ....or rooney either of em will be a first team starter....and owen wont sit on the bench for too long once he is in form..cfdemarco;2696683 said:ARE YOU CRAZY?
Eto'o is one of the best strikers and pure goalscorers in the world, we would be out of our minds insane to not want him in the team.
Rooney is a hero but let's be honest, he can't do it all by himself. Berbs is worthless, Owen might be a good backup but we can't count on him, neither Welbeck or Machida are ready to be everyday players in the Premiership. IMO we are still in desperate need of a proven striker. If Eto'o actually really wants to come to United, we need to roll out the red carpet for him.
I would feel REALLY good about the coming season with Eto'o as the front striker and Rooney playing slightly behind him.
Seriously, how could any United fan NOT want this to happen? Eto'o is such a talented an explosive player, it's exactly what we need.

its so easy the way you casually said that rooney is a hero, berb is owrthless, owen backup...etc bla bla..think and then say...
we dont want to do another "tevez gets sad and whines" part 2
we are well upfront now...an injured owen gave 16 goals...to the toon..a fit one with the other quality players of united around, can give more.
we need an addition to the midfield to be honest..nani is not reliable...
so who can that man be?????
guys??ne ideas?
i cannot think of anyone other than lennon currently...cause ribery wants to join the glory bandwagon of real madrid..
