I think you could make an exception for someone who would be a great motivator and ambassador for the club. I'm not generally one to support "jobs for the boys" either, but in Drog's case just his presence might be lift for players and supporters alike.
I guess the argument against that is how many more ex-greats would we want to employ..so perhaps you're right. Yep he would make for a great ambassador but he can do that job while working with the young kids and getting his badges at the same time. Then we look at his work and how well he has or has not done with his exams and then see if he fits in with the current mangement. Thats how we would do it with normally. |

Torres now wanted by cash-rich monaco
Could we see a bidding war? £20m please. Its also good to see our rivals struggling in the transfer market, united officials talking about "unlimited budgets" has just put a good few million on the price of every player they try and sign. They also still believe that all the top players will want to go to old trafford. Really? No CL football, based in the north, and to play with greats like err Fellaini, wellbeck and Evans. |

Everyone knew Utd was going to spend big this season and all they have done is confirm it. Plus when clubs go agaisnt Utd for players it will put them on the back foot slightly Clubs always add on a few million when clubs like Utd come along. Anyone just looking at the income that Utd generate know they money to spend. No Champions League football this season but thats a short term view, They are more then capable of winning the title next season. As Liverpool showed last season how far you can go with a average team in the league with no Champions League and Utd have a very good manager who would not make the mistakes Rogers did. |

So far, united have signed no one, or rather no one ive heard of outside the "potential" of Luke Shaw. They need to replace their back 4 and buy a midfield. I have not seen any sign of that. I honestly cannot see united getting top 4 unless the bizarre experiment Rodgers is doing with LFC at the moment backfires spectacularly. Certainly City, Chelsea and Arsenal have done good business so far and need not be worried about dropping top 4. |

Certainly City, Chelsea and Arsenal have done good business so far and need not be worried about dropping top 4. Of course Arsenal and City and ourselfs have invested wisely so far, We have had targets in mind since halfway last season. Utd would not have done so, The manager has only had a week or so to look at who he has got and what he needs. Utd will have a idea of who they want and where but until the manager signed off nothing could be done (plus the World Cup would have delayed some work) Utd wont need to enter long talks about players, They will go in slap a shed load of money on the table and then move on to the next target, I think you will see the sort of thing you saw with us in the first few months of Roman's time i.e players being signed in a short amount of time. |

United need at least three defenders - and will have to get them from outside of the prem, that surely cannot be a good thing. It is going to be an interesting league. Everyone seems happy with their manager at the moment, but everyone forgets just how spikey he can be. And the UK media are always ready to pounce and stir the pot. |

This is Man Utd one of (if not the) biggest clubs in football. I think your too wrapped up in enjoying last season when it comes to Utd. That was a one off You call him spikey er Jose can be as well so could SAF. |

^ Yep, it can only be a step up from the Eredivisie.

I still think we're two players short!
I'd like another attacking, creative midfielder plus another quality striker. Too much is resting on the unproven Costa and Fabregas to get us a lot more goals. If Costa doesn't click or Hazard gets an injury that keeps him out for a few months, then we could struggle. |

D. Drogba "it was an easy decision"
Signed a 1 year deal. I guess we could argue about it being a good idea or not, or damaging his legacy. But its done now, lets hope it works out. Our strikers are now Costa, Lukkaku, Drogba and Torres. I wouldnt like to be a defender who plays against lukkaku and costa for 60 minutes, and then drogba comes on as sub. |

He did a decent job at West Brom and Everton but he's completely unproven at Chelsea's level.
