Ibrahimovic anyone?


The World Cup's over and it's time for all of us to get over that.  The good news is that the Premier League season is a few weeks away.  And, hell, we're right in the middle of the transfer period.  The great news here is that the Scousers may lose one or both of their stars.  Torres, whose groin fucking exploded for no good reason in the World Cup, maybe going to Chelsea which could be great for me, personally.  I'd love to Roman drop a cool 50 mil for a lady that can't stay on the pitch for more than 8 minutes and I'd also love hear Liverpool fans cry that she's gone.  And if they lost Gerrard...their talisman.  One can only dream.  Speaking of dreaming, let's just pretend that Manchester United is a normal, huge sports franchise, that could afford to, I don't know, buy a fucking player or, hell, afford bus fair.  So giving up all rational thought and acting like the Glazers don't own the club, I'm going to throw some names out there: Diego Forlan, Luis Fabiano and, oh god, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.  We missed out on David Villa, David Silva, and probably Kun Aguero and I'm fine with that (except for Villa, that guy's titties, but he was never coming to England), but we need another proven scorer.  Chelsea bagged about 900 goals last season.  I'll take any of those three, Sir Alex.  I know Diego played for us before and all, but he's clearly a better player now.  Fabiano's bitchin'.  And Zlatan's name is Zlatan...that's rad.  Let's break that goddamned piggy bank, Glazers.

    I agree that we should pick up somebody but I don't know if Ibrahimovic would work. He seems like another Berbatov and I have serious doubts about the two of them in the same team. I would love to have a healthy Louis Saha back. He was great. I would take Forlan in a second.

    I would also like to see the midfield strengthened in terms of attacking options. I think we need a replacement for Scholes. Maybe it is Sneijder or Ozil. Who knows? But I think we need somebody.

    Do you agree with Sir Alex's comments that the squad is fine as is?

    I'd argue that Ibra is waaaaaaaaaay better than Berba, way, but I get the comparison. And I loved Louis Saha. Hell, I've got a Saha jersey that I still wear proud and probably too often. He's not coming back though.

    Midfield? Yeah, we need help I think. It's so hard to give up on old Scholes-y though. Just when you think he's done and he's spraying passes into the stands he does something only Scholes can do. Wesley Sneijder is the real deal, but I can't see us prying him away from Inter. As for Ozil, I'm not sure yet. He's going to be way overpriced because of the World Cup.

    I do think United would be fine if we didn't add a striker or midfielder though, at least for this season. We came in second this year and if it wasn't for a few calls we could have won it, and don't forget how close we were to the Champions League final. So let's not freak out here. But, yeah, I'd love to see us get some baller, for sure.

    Yea I agree that the squad is pretty good as is. Another big reason we finished 2nd last season is having those crippling injuries to our defense. Who was it? Carrick and Fletcher playing center back for a game or two. The squad is a good squad and if we can stay healthy (Rio) then I think we have just as good a chance of winning as anyone else. The younger players should be a bit better and maybe Owen can bang in another injury time winner against City!

    Yeah, I'm really rooting for Owen. I didn't think he got enough time on the pitch last season, well, before his hammy exploded anyway.
