Re: [Merged] - Football talk

Here we go again, Man Utd, nearly but not quite.
Losing today to Chelsea 1-0, a good performance, but lacking in the final third of the pitch.

United need another proven striker to be of any threat to Arsenal this season.
I think that striker needs to be a certain Wayne Rooney.
I can't imagine many premiership defences being able to handle Giggs, Nistelrooy, Rooney, Ronaldo up front, followed by Smith, Scholes, Keane in the middle of the park, with Neville, Ferdinand and Silvestre at the back, with Howard or Carroll in goal, with Fortune, Fletcher, Saha and Miller on the bench.
Ole is out for another year so we are lead to believe, so alas, I think his Man Utd career is over.

Diego can go to Spurs or whoever wants him

I think Rooney or a similar proven striker would make all the difference.

Arsenal look like they have carried on where they left off last season, looking quite invincible, so if we are to stand a chance in winning the premiership crown this season, we need to buy.

I know it's early days, but they are my thoughts anyway.
