Dream Signing

    With the end of the season fast approaching I was wondering which player you all would realistically like to sign for your club at the end of the season? Choices should be realistic, ie not Messi to Bolton and why you think that player would be good for your club.

    For me I'd love to see United sign David Villa. Quality player, proven goalscorer and definitely would suit our fast attacking football. Think we need another 20+ goal striker to take some of the burden off Ronaldo. Was aprehensive about how he might adapt to English football but if he was half as good as Torres then I'd be more than happy

    Eto'o for me - best lead the line striker in the world, despite his showing over the last couple of months.

    Leeds fan here........ wouldn't mind seeing old boys David Healy or Robbie Hulse back at ER, but if I was to choose one signing, it would be Jason Koumas from Wigan.

    A class act in the championship, I'd love him in our midfield

    I'd like Berbatov to come to United. He has already proved he is cut out for the premiership so it would take minimum amount of adjustment and lets be honest he is gifted!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,430 ✭✭✭Sizzler


    Utd - Benzema


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,579 ✭✭✭✭Frisbee


    Arsenal - Quaresma
    He will run direct at defences and isnt afraid to shoot

    One more vote for that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 729 ✭✭✭justfortherecor


    Benzema as well, but I think Berbatov would be the more realistic chance.

    I would take Villa for liverpool to give Torres a hand upfront.

    Or Mancini of Roma as a wide man.

    Whichever, I'm easy :)

    Utd - Benzema.

    Villa has been rubbish this season.

    I'd like either Robinho or Messi

    And while Rafa is raiding La Liga, He'd pick up Mata (Valencia), Carlos Martins (Rec), Andrés Guardado (Depor), Daniel González Güiza (Mallorca) and Rubén de la Red (Getafe)

    I would have said Messi, but I presumed he is any unrealistic target for any club.

    True that Villa has been poor this season but is is in a painfuly average Valencia side, but I still think he is a highly talented player. (Torres had an average enough last season at Atletico too)

    Thanks for the links it will keep me busy at work for a while ;)

    Kaka.

    There's a possibility it could happen, AC Milan don't get 4th, United want to make a statement to the world after winning the CL, Kaka and Ronaldo leads Uniteds attack, with Rooney and Tevez in the middle :)

    Indeed - I hope we don't make the same mistake we did in summer 1999 - we didn't push on from the treble year.

    Benzema to United would be brilliant, i think he's alot like Torres with pace and power.

    'Dream' signing would be Messi but it wont happen, to have him ronaldo and rooney up front would be unreal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Charlie


    Bentley to Newcastle, would love to see him whipping in balls to Owen, and with Oba's pace on the left, and Bentley's at the right, we would be able to change direction and movement so quickly.

    If we were able to pull off such a coup, it would be down to our financial clout and the attraction of Keegan playing football that suits players like Bentley.

    If it was an unrealistic dream signing, it would be Essien. Hands down the best box to boxer there is in the game today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭Mr Alan


    I'd go Kaka too, DIC take control, want to make a statement about how serious they are.

    If PHB can dream, so can i :)


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    Surely a 'dream' signing is by definition unrealistic?

    Anyway, there are no 'realistic' prospective signings that excite me.

    Messi to Chelsea isn't too unrealistic but if it is deamed so I'd take Mancini or Micah Richards

    If Drogba were to leave then i would love to see Klose as his replacement.Wont happen!
