Rumours Have Dried Up Since Fergie's Announcement

i think fergie will sign a player or two if the right one comes along. prob just trying 2 keep it more private cus if its all over the papers and other clubs are getting linked to the same player the price goes up 5 mill each time.

There will be no outrage from anyone with a brain. Fergie not spending money is not the same as having no money to spend. Besides, keeping the banks at bay by throwing a few million quid at them is hardly bad business is it? Our squad was already superior in most positions to most teams in the league and that hasn't changed. If we can put out a youth team that could have beaten the 5th best team in the league, trust me, it'll take a fair few more sales for us to relinquish our iron grip on this league. But please enjoy your imaginary triumphs based on our prophesised demise now fifthcolumnblue, when the season starts - the reality will probably be a bit more depressing for you.

Lurkin-on-the-post... have to agree. I have my suspicions as to whether Fergie meant that or not - he may be getting someone on the quiet.

Fair enough, fifthcolumnblue. I just can't see what there is to be worried about. We won things before Ronaldo so I can't see where this fear is coming from. No club in the history of the premier league has had a player as highly regarded as Ronaldo and whilst I fully accept that on paper we are weaker without him (obviously without having played any matches its all a guessing game) I can't see any evidence that it makes us weaker than any of our domestic rivals. With a consistent back four, hargreaves and valencia - I can see most teams struggling to score a single goal against us, let alone take 3 points. Anyone who can honestly look at our squad and doubt its title winning potential for me is an idiot. I'm not holding myself up as some fountain of footballing knowledge but despite being written of as crap by most - Berba, Rooney, Nani, Anderson, Carrick and Valencia have the talent to challenge for the league in my view. With support from the likes of owen, welbeck,macheda, tosic, park, fletcher, hargreaves - I just can't see why so many united fans are concerned. Again, thats just my opinion - but for the most part the actions of the worlds most successful manager seem to indicate that he agrees with my assessment. Until someone with more experience, more success or more knowledge than Fergie comes along as says "united have no chance now or in the future" I'm going to have some faith in fergie and the team - you should suggest that your united supporting mates do the same - after all he has done in the last 20 years its the least they can do.

one thing to say " IN FERGIE WE TRUST"
