I was saying that elsewhere. They now have the makings of a very good side. All they are lacking really is a right back and they're pretty much set.

Excellent keeper, solid back line, good midfield and an excellent strike partnership.

Obv, reading to much into it is torture, but it does give us an idea of how much we're missing someone clinical when Kuyt's our best on the goals to shots.

Kuyt better than Cavani

Sign Huntlaar. Himself and suarez would be devastating

Frightening form this year so far, exactly a goal a game for Schalke in all competitions!

Himself and Suarez were unreal together at Ajax.

Proven goalscorer in many leagues and proven partner with our best player.

If we are going to spend big on a striker let it be him.

Always wanted United to sign Huntlaar, when he was leaving Madrid that was the time to get him. He is 28 now, so he would cost big money for someone whos is fast approaching his 30's. Still a class act though.

I'd be much happier spending Bent type money on him than Bent.

I would be even happier spending it on Higuain, but i'd take Huntlaar

I think Higuain would cost more again. Would absolutely love to see him at the club too. Madrid would be mad to let him go, 14 goals from 8 starts and 9 sub appearances in the league. And he gets a lot of big goals too.

If I had the choice I'd take Higuain hands down, but Huntelaar is probably easier to get.

Comolli vs Carr. Who's got the bigger pair?

It's a ball-off.

He hasn't played a minute for them yet! Let's not forget they also signed Marveaux.

I genuinely believe we will make a move for Fletcher in this window. We'll look at Cavani if we can't get him (I don't genuinely believe this bit, but wouldn't be too surprised).

Just listen to Phil Thompson "we used to go up and down the country battering every team we played!"

All things being equal, with modern-day fitness etc., I'd say that team would absolutely batter our best 11 these days.

It'll take time but Kenny's the only man to bring some new glory to the club. Let's start with a cup double this season.

The most successful manager in Europe of recent years has been Mourinho. He has no problem signing players in their late 20s. You're getting a player who will do a job straight away. Yes there's less sell-on value, but think of the time it takes for players like Carroll to reach their potential. It's not always good business to buy young. AC Milan tend to develop their youth players and buy experience.
