Alex Ferguson has been told he has £29 million to spend on new players when the transfer window opens again.United have already have a bid accepted for Marseille centre back Van Buyten for £12 million.He will cover Rio Ferdinand should he get a long ban.Any other views on who United will buy.

Another rumour out today is that they are interested in Luis Fabiano from Sao Paulo and they will have to pay €16mil for him. He has an average of just under 1 goal every game and he is only 22.

Or maybe if they stretch it to the limit they could waste the whole lot on another Rio Ferdinand.

I Think we need another top class striker firstly and maybe anoter Cb wouldn,t go amisss but Utd usuall do all their dealings in the closed season. If Ferdinand gets a lenghty ban before Xmas maybe fergie would be force to buy but he does have brown returning soon.

With £29m you could get half a decent racehorse!

I see 2sh1tsjackson is up to his usual IQ standard. (Not very high.)

and with an average of 4.57 posts and a total of 31 I'm guessing you've either been on boards for roughly 6 days, in which case your making a very rushed judgement - or else your somebodies reincarnation....

Appart from cover for Rio I can't see alex spending too much unless it is on youth. I would go along with the need for another big striker but I'm sure it won't be something that will be rushed over christmas.

Looks like fergie has Liam Miller in his sights http://www.manutdonline.org/news06.php

Good move , haven,t seen much of miller but what i have has been very impresssive and if they get him when he is out of contract they wont have to touch the reporterd 29m.

Welcome back p.pete, been anywhere nice or just keeping a low profile?

woosaysdan · 21-11-2003 4:34pm

yeah miller has impressed me aswell

Big Chief · 21-11-2003 5:03pm

dont see miller going to utd

really hope celtic manage to keep a hold of him

kmart6 · 21-11-2003 8:05pm

Ahh Miller is staying at celtic which is a good chose for him to develope his football even further

TwoShedsJackson · 22-11-2003 10:28am

Absolutely, he should carry on playing in a backwater two team league to realise his potential :rolleyes:
