    I think that the problem is thought that that midfield was shielded from being put under too much pressure by their attack which terrified half the teams they played. Loosing Tevez and Ronaldo and the fact that Giggs and Scholes are getting on a bit does mean that different demands are likely to be made of the CM area. Also Anderson has regressed since his early form for United.

    I still think though that Fergie will do what he has always done which is get the attack right first and then worry about the rest of the team later on. It's been very successful for him until now but I think he is facing one of the bigger challenges he has had of late and is without a decent number 2.
    You're right on the first point, but I think Ronaldo will be irreplaceable for them. The only player capable of doing anything for them is Rooney - Valencia is hardly a replacement for Ronaldo, and bear in mind they still have Berbatov

    They are defo weaker for their losses and unless they sign Messi, Villa etc, they will struggle to spend the £80m on quality

    They need two quality midfielders

        He's not a striker unless I'm mistaken? Playing in a poor team. How many has he created? Perhaps he hit the bar 50 times. Who knows. Bit harsh to judge a player on 4 goals for your national team when he's a wide player.

        £20m is certainly a lot of money for him though.

            The breaking news report on SSN. Most other places seem to be saying around £16m. Who knows. Whatever it is it's still far too much and, unlike Johnson who was also too expensive, won't improve them much...if at all.

              Why is the fee undisclosed??

              I know they are allowed to make that call but is Fergie covering up for other targets.

              Everyone knows how much €£€£ United must have to spend, so why not tell everyone how much he cost?

                Just think if they have signed him for £20m we could be signing Silva for around £22m or £25 if the rumours are true as spanish radio are reporting we have made a bid for silva.

                      I think it's fantastic signing,he's sure to make up for the loss of Ronaldo and Tevez!

                              He is not worth that kind of money for sure. Whilst he is not a bad player he is a massive, I repeat a massive, step down in quality from Ronaldo.

                                If Rafa had spunked anything like £20m on Valencia I'd have been gutted. Ferguson's that arrogant I don't think they'll do much more business beyond this. Oh yeah, and then Berbatov has the season of his ****ing life and they win the PL again!! It's what happens at Man U.
