Rossigol's coming back. Berbatov ain't needed.

Also, someone not liking the signing of Nani. Showing his dissaproval on Wikipedia. (What a site)

[Cappo Smiffy]

At least this £40m+ spent on the Portugese lads & Hargreaves means Berbatov is safe

[ajw2255]

17m for each so ssn say

[Zaitsev]

Rossi for the off then now chaps?

[RSB]

Anyone care to offer odds on Uncle Malc having another stroke once he hears what Gill's been doing with his money (or lack thereof)?

[paulsgruff]

Amazing signings! Don't know what to say. So happy! I saw the Anderson deal on manutd.com, read it, clicked back then there was Nani there too. I've refreshed it like 10 times since then hoping to see more new players, hehe.

[14AlanSmithifb]

this is like some sort of dream, it seems so sureal.

Did OTF just go down.

I'm actually a bit giddy. Can't imagine what you lot are like

Absolutely amazing.

Since when did you have to register just to view threads on RedCafe? I was checking it this afternoon ffs

I can't register cos you don't allow Yahoo addresses

[BBB]

use your SI one?

oh wait

[cooldude0007]

stupid red cafe

is it 17m euros or pounds

because dosent nani have a 13.5 millon release clause

andersons worth £17m

[Nick OGS20]

can just picture Fergie locking the Glazers in the broom cupboard and running off with the chequebook

[?]

Lads, I dont think we're going to sign a foward. I think Fergie's going for the whole interchangable front line tactic, ala Ajax in the 70's.

Something like this

cm Scholes

CM Hargreaves/Carrick

AML Nani/Giggs

AMR Ronaldo

AMCAnderson

FW Rooney

If ye get my drift. And all interchangeable in attacks ofc

Anderson looks quite promising from the clips that I've seen on youtube just now!

On the verge of orgasm thinking about our attack next season.

Agreed, hopefully there is still a top class front man coming. Having Rooney as the main striker on his own sounds a bit iffy, especially if we get any injuries. There's plenty of goals in that attacking line though. Still hoping for a big name striker

[EmmYouEffSee]

How the FACK can we sign such talent!

[LibLibertine]

Of course we'd like a big name striker, but right now I can't see it happening for two reasons.

1 - Just spent 30million quid/euroes on two promising attacking midfielders.

2 - Don't really need to now.

As it is players like Smudge, Ole and Rossi are going to struggle to get in the team. If we bought another striker we'd have to drop a midfielder out of Scholes, Carrick, Hargreaves, Nani, Ronaldo, Giggs, Anderson.

Can't see that happening.

[RedBlood]

Hope we still get a striker

A big name striker would top everything off perfectly. Unless we give Rossi a real chance which means we would have a strikeforce of Saha / Rooney / Rossi.

I also don't think we'll be seeing much of Richardson next season

[Weststandred]

SO happy.

We'll be able to check Anderson out properly next month in the Copa America, won't we? Will he play?

he did until he signed a new deal last week. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

he never signed a new contract

there was nothing about it on the sporting lisbon website

the story first came to tribal football(who write crap) and was copied word by word by the sky sports website

and why would he sign a new contract when hes been begging to come to us

When were the thred awards btw?

Forgot about that fact! Bye bye Richardson, might aswell join your sister or whatever she is in the BB house.

Although I feel a bit sorry for Fletch, put in some decent performances and shown great commitment. Chances for him next season will be limited.

[orion318]

Utd will play a positional change pacy attack.

Anderson is a playmaker, a fast one too, if given the chance and if he can take on the physical side of British football he will quickly overtake scholes for the AMC role, but paul will probably just go into the middle along side carrick/hargreaves.

Nani i expect will pan out a little like cronaldo did...first season will come on from the bench and will be buffed up physically..and will be at his best for his 2nd season.

If you guys can hold on to Ronaldo at this pace you'll soon be unstoppable in attack.

Your attack will be so so fast next season

[Coldberg]

Went on my break in work to hear the news presenter say "Ryan Giggs has called it a day..... on his international career". Now obviously I wasn't too distraught at the pause

Then I come home, turn on the tv & am greeted by this blatant windup that we have signed Nani & Anderson.

Guess Uncle Malc won't be getting any medication in the next couple of months

All we are going to hear about now is how great the Glazers are & how they are taking the club forward though. People ignoring the ridiculous debt they have put onto the club.

There was a link to a thread/article where someone was analysing Uniteds formation and after recent transfer happenings it looks as though we'll employ those same tactics.

Anyone got the link?

You carry on insulting Giggs and you're banned from the wall.

I love the reverse flip-flap (or whatever it actually is) at the start of this clip. Can't wait to see an all out attacking Brazilian in a Man Utd shirt. Hopefully Anderson will make up for missing out on Ronaldinho when he went to Barcelona.

Richardson might still have his uses - maybe as injury backup for the guy in the Fred The Red suit
