Don't forget that the price of everyone that Nited are "interested" in will suddenly jump up an extra 5-10 million!!

In an ideal world I'd take Villa (the best finisher in the game for me), Xavi (best in his position in the world) and Aguero who can float around in various positions...can't see any of these coming mind you, though Valencia, Benzema and Eto'o would be good acquisitions.

I think we've been trying to adapt to a different style of play these past 6 months to cope with Naldo leaving so hopefully it won't be such a massive problem...big year coming up for Berbatov too, see how he copes having had a full pre-season and probably being more important and influential to the team this coming season.

Villa/Benzema
Silva
Pato/Ribery

That is who I would spend the 80 mil on, however I think we will only see Valencia and Benzema arrive. If rumours are true that Nani is on his way out use the money for him and then get Valencia.

I can see Fergie buying someone like Pato or Douglas Costa to mould into a world class player.

Rooney should step up and finally fulfill all that potential he has next season I reckon.

Who's going to be our next number 7 though?

Pato - Milan have said after kaka leaving they won't need to sell anyone else so I doubt he will be available.

Looking through the press it seems most likely are:-

Ribery £65m
Benzema £25m
Valencia £15m

Didn't they say they didn't need/want to sell Kaka though

Ribery for 65 mil is way to much, got much chance of David Silva?
Valencia for 15 mil also seems a bit steep but I can see Nani leaving so wouldn't be too bad I suppose

United won't spend £100m, nowhere near it. If we spend 60m I'll be surprised. I can see Benzema, Valencia and another couple of younger lads in the Anderson / Nani mould.

I would love Aguero, but can't see it. Silva's price will rocket with Uniteds new need for width, and interest from the Real, Barca and the scousers.

Lavezzi's agent reckons Liverpool have made a bid for him to Napoli.

Rafa denied that the other day. As he only deals in facts, I suspect the story is untrue.

I see that Ronaldo has checked into Paris Hilton. She saw the Eye-ful tower.
