How on earth are they going to win a match for us.. Saha won't get 30 plus goals and Rooney is a scorer or great goals rather than a great goal scorer.. we have no one else apart from the midfield who are either a bit ageing (Giggs and Scholes) or a bit hit and miss (Ronaldo)

we could have got Tevez, who i'm sure would have been better with us than West Ham, or Torres for £20 but we were going to spend over £20 on Hargreaves !!!!

Celtic are made up of journey men and ex Championship players ( Paul Telfer ) yet they still made us work..

sure you can say we dominated a match but how many clear cut chances did we have.. how many saves did the keeper have to make ?

even watford and reading made us work hard this season and the only time we faced a top team we lost to Arsenal and beat a poor Liverpool team
United need cover for Saha, or at least someone who can jostle for his place.
I have a feeling Fergie will be in the market for a couple of players in the January window.
I suppose the favourite would be Torres according to our beloved press, and I wouldn't be surprised if Hargreaves makes the move from Bayern Munich to United in January either, but we need a proven goal scorer imo.
I think Hargreaves could be surplus to requirements though, unless a few current players go in the opposite direction, i.e. O'Shea, Richardson, Fletcher, but I don't think he would get much money for those three.
