Robbie Rotten. World class goalkeepers who United could realistically sign. I want names.

Starting to get pee'd off with Moyes...3 out and none in, its so frustrating when he say's he's low on numbers...get some loan's in then. Kranjcar for starters, and why not a striker or three while we're at it. Santa Cruz would have been a nice loanee (made up word of the day?) to have.


Spot on mate. It's getting worse considering the window shut in a few days, if we don't sign a striker by Monday night you can guarantee Saha will get injured on Tuesday night. I can't believe we've let three go and, as far as we know, there's nothing coming the other way. Very frustrating.

Depends on what type of goalkeeper you want, really. (I'm basing these on people that could be available) Purely on shot stopping, you'd be looking towards Akinfeev. On size and aerial strength, you'd probably be looking at Diego Lopez at Villarreal. Somebody young with lots of potential, you would probably say de Gea at Atletico (although I did really like the look of Asenjo before he went there). There have been rumours Buffon may be available, I doubt it, but as an experienced head to keep things going, he'd be a great shout. Another shout would be Frey, but both have sadly suffered injuries.

Still, if I was Fergie, I'd go for Diego Lopez at Villarreal. I've mentioned him a lot on here but I think he's a top shot stopper, whilst he has great physical presence to be trusted on corners/crosses. Can probably see Fergie going for one of the young European hot shots, though, probably Adler, Neuer or de Gea.

Can't really pick one out, there's plenty to pick from, but if he's looking for somebody similar to VDS (tall, commanding and experienced), then I'd maybe swerve a few of the youngsters and go for the full package.

Allan McGregor is a lot closer to home and would be a lot easier to sign.

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

Will someone bite on Gandy please. Poor lad is having no luck trying to catch a tiddler.

Wonder if United can go all the way in the cup this year?

Liverpool reject £35m bid from Chelsea for Torres. Very odd.
