With the season over on Sunday evening, Sir Alex Ferguson will turn his attention to the summer transfer market, whether the club wins the Premier League or not. But with finances restricted by the club’s massive debt Ferguson’s activity may be limited. If you could buy just one player that has been linked to the club recently, who would it be?

I voted David Silva over Benzema, purely because Silva has said he would be interested in the move, and Benzema said he wants to stay and fight for his place at Madrid.
I think we need two of these players: David Silva and one of the Joe Cole/Stephen Ireland/James Milner trio.
well in the last hour or so modric is ser sub united to stay at spurs sanme with bale.
my players get rid of and buy
out. ben foster 15 million . berbatov 2o million. micheal owen on a free. hagraves sorry owen you can get injured at antinme. 25 million . carrick 15 million. anderson 10 million.
palyers in. david silva 28 million. millner 20 million. benzenma 20 million. diarra 15 million keivn doyel bargion of summer 15 million. stephen ireland 16 million and richards possibaly 10 million there my summer targets ins and out
I think you’ve seriously over valued Hargo; only £3m less than Silva?!?
Hargo will stay, he’ll be like having a new signing!
Edin Dzeko
I would like to see carrick,berbatov,tosic go and dzeko,rodwell,hamsik or milner,silva/di maria/sanchez come in. If park went i would understand because he doesnt get enough goals works his arse off but in some games when u need a moment of inspiration he doesn’t provide.
In:£90m. Marek Hamsik, Steven Defour, Milos Krasic and Luis Suarez
Out:£65m. Foster, Brown, O’Shea, Carrick, Anderson, Park, Berbatov, Owen.
Team:
…………………VDS………………
………….Evans……….Vidic………
Rafael…………………………..Evra
…………Fletcher…….Krasic………
Nani…………….Suarez……….Hamsik
………………..Rooney…………….
Bench: Kuszczak,Fabio,Smalling,Defour,Cleverley,Valencia,Hernandez
Squad:
Amos,Neville,Rio,Scholes,Giggs,Hargreaves,Gibson,Tosic,Obertan,Macheda,Diouf.
Players who are under 21 years need not to be registered in the 25-man squad. In my case Rafael, Fabio, Amos, and Macheda.
@Brain
You are trying to be funny right. The prices for the united players listed are fantasy and based in those would make someone like Silva worth 50mill.
Foster is not worth 15mill, might get half of that.
Owen has value, you would get atleast a couple of mill
Hargreaves due to injury issues and last year if contract is worth only a couple and he is better off being given a chance as if his comeback becomes impossible the insurance payout will be higher than transfer fee. Certainly isn’t worth 25mill however
And on your ins 15mill for Doyle could never be considered a bargin.
Milner being English and at a club that doesn’t sell easierly would be closer to 30 than 20
Silva who knows. Valencia are a mental club who turned down 40mill fir villa from both real and barca. They also turned down uniteds bid fir silva in 2008 which was around 25mill this despite being on the verge of going bust. I could see them demanding 30mill plus
My other is Gourcuff. We need a solid attacking midfielder to compliment Fletcher. That would tie it all together. The lineup, frankly, picks itself then
Rooney – Berba
Nani – Gourcuff – Fletch – Valencia
Evra – Vidic – Ferdinand (with de Laet and Evans as cover) – Rafael (with Brown used when we want a hard defender)
VDS
That line up week in, week out would be amazing. Our ability to counter would be unparalleled, and Fletch could be hard on defense (Gourcuff has shown willingness to work defensively too).

K.Benzema or E.Dzeko

total:88mill + profit + a very gd team
gourcuff a good attackin playa
dzeko fast and gd with headers
crouch in case of 4-5-1 as super sub so valencia nani and giggs can keep pumping in crosses
@DJ “crouch in case of 4-5-1 as super sub so valencia nani and giggs can keep pumping in crosses”
Crouch is surprisingly weak in the air for a big man – nice chap, but totally overrated
That and he’s a scouse bastard with a dirty scouse girlfriend!
You would though, wouldn’t you?
Out:
berbatov
carrick
foster
park
In:
silva
benzema
veloso
i couldn’t agree more with Wakey.
there is no way you are ever going to get that amount of money for those players brian.
Hargraves is worth keeping, despite his injuries in the last few seasons, he showed enough in his first season (free kick against Arsenal was superb) to keep him and i would be amazed if fergie got rid of him. he has shown that he can play as a winger, defensive mid and a right back.
Ben Foster was never going to make it at OT, we will probably loan him out again or sell him for a cut price of around 3-5 mil. Michael Owen is worth another season but no more than a bench player (i’d keep him just for the winner against city :P)
Hernandez could be a brilliant signing, we will have to wait and see. I think Fergie could make Benzema one of the best and most feared strikers in history and we should break the bank for him. David Silva has already sent out a Come and get me to United, bring in Joe Cole and maybe James Milneer and United will win the champions league again within 2 years.
ins. Silva, Benzema, Cole.
Outs: Park (unfortunatly) Berbatov,Anderson (maybe. one more year to prove he can be as good as fergie thought) and Foster, Vidic. as part of the Benzema deal. might be a good deal seeing he is 28 and has been looking for a way out for while.
Steven Defour and Toni Kroos will sort out out central midfield for at least a decade.
Best case likely scenario:
In
Cole
Silva
Out
Tosic
Foster
The reason,i believe why fergie doesnt break the bank to sign players carrying an insane price tag is because we have an amazing crop of youngsters coming up..
i know you dont win things “immediately” with kids..but atleast some of them will surely come good.
As for immediate success..I dont think major tweaking is required.. if we get modric n sell carrick..we’ll have a pretty good midfield..he’ll chip in with more goals den carrick n take atleast some weight of rooney..
I think Stephan Ireland is hugely underated and would be a very good signing. As mentioned before, Hargreaves will be like a new signing, I think he will be one of next seasons top players for united (as will Nani). We need a proven striker that can turn games around but who SAF brings in will be very interesting as there can’t be more than a handful of players in the world in Rooney’s calibre. An interesting summer ahead!
In
gourcuff
silva
that’s that for me…
be realistic guys
IN: Da silva(because he said he feels interested in the move)
Hernandez (Already in)
Smalling (Already in)
Fabio or Hunter (fabio said he feels interested in the move, but hes already 29 turning to 30 this year, and hunter swap with berba)
Neuer (the new GK to replace VDS)
OUT: Berba (Italy is good for him)
Foster (to Birmingham 80%)
Tosic (we wasted him)
Anderson (probably)
I cant really name a player i would like to have at OT..
But certainly i would not like to have Benzema, he is a mercernary, money is his priority.
Silva is too injury-prone
Em Crouch is not such a bad idea, well, Owen’s a scouse too. So is Rooney, albeit a blue one.
Guys, what about Darren Bent? He is the best English striker after our Rooney, and he is at Sunderland now. Sunderland is not playing in Europe.
I Want These Player… They’re Talent…
Tomas Muller + Toni Kross = Dimitar Berbatov :))
Pjanic ( Lyon ) or Carlos Eduardo ( Hoffeinhem ) for CAM
David Silva ( Valencia ) with Nani ( Left )
and the partner of Rooney , i alway like Miccoli
The Team Will Like This
…………………VDS………………
………….Evans……….Vidic………
Rafael…………………………..Evra
…………Fletcher………
Nani…………….Pjanic……….Silva
……………….………….Miccoli…………….
………………..Rooney………………
On Bench.. javi Hernandez , Kuz , Smalling , Macheda , Fabio , De Laet , Rio
