RVP agreed personal terms with Fenherbace, according to media. Looks like we'll be in for another striker (unless we're looking at Depay covering that role)

Ashame but can understand the move though. I see no reason why Rooney can't be our main man but will now need similar quality with rvp going and me personally I like little p but depends on how he feels as number 3 as everyone wants to play in the big games. I suppose Wilson should go out on loan to.

If RVP goes, I'm 100% sure United will sign quality striker of Cavani, Benzema, Higuain's caliber. I don't think LVG will leave all to Rooney's shoulders. That's not how titles are won. And Depay is a typical winger, don't think he will be most effective as a striker.

I don't see the point in wasting money on a big name striker If were going to play 433 it will just cause same problems as last season when we were trying to accommodate 2 strikers in the 433 formation it didn't work I would rather we either bought a world class box 2 box midfielder so we can play di maria on the right with depay on the left and rooney up front with Wilson and Henriquez as our back up strikers or buy a world class player like turan to play on the right of the front 3 with di maria in the middle with her erra and Schneiderlin if we get him either way does me the main point is we don't need another striker if we're playing 433

I find it strange that it's looking very likely that RVP and Chicharito are set to leave sooner rather than later. If there is any truth in these rumours, then Woodward must have a deal for a striker in place. Why would we sanction the sale of 2 strikers that are very capable of leading the line and have champions league experience in the hope that we can sign someone later in the window. The deals for the world class strikers will be the most difficult as they either prefer to stay at the current clubs, or cost upwards of 60 million. Woodward needs to be doing those silent assassin moves he did to get the chevy and adidas sponsorships. If he treats players like he did sponsors, he could bring in Ronaldo, Messi, and Pogba in this window lol

Good evening Eds. If the rumours of van persie are believed to be true , Do you think we possibly have one or even better two replacements lined up. Seems strange Van Gaal is letting big name players leave . Nani , Van Persie , possibly De gea. Unless they have some major signings lined up , and MUFC are waiting until, they are in place before parading them to the press.
Cheers mate

I mean we have a class striker in Rooney so ideally he is our centre forward for the big games. I'm aware I don't expect him to score all the goals as hopefully others are able to chip in. So in that sense I agree with zicco a little. The likes of a cavani or benzema are not required but would be nice. Would love to see the scouts find someone quite under the radar. If we get Morgan that sorts the middle of the park would love to splash the cash on hummels but that's just me.

If Rooney starts as our main striker in some games we'll need to turn the games around and Rooney must get a decent help from another quality striker. Not saying this proposed striker (50+ mil) will be a backup though, in other games when the team we play against is known to be of a lower class, we may start with 2 up front. Rooney will get a rest or get injured in other games, so in that aspect I think we should sign a quality forward.Oh and CL is back. I like Wilson very much, but he lacks matches at top level. And in the end I will be happy if we get Kane, but I think it's not going to happen at least until next summer.

why is everyone surprised? they are not good enough for what he wants out of a striker. Having said that i will be surprised if we sell RVP unless we have already secured a major deal elsewhere.
It looks like there is a lot of number crunching and cleaning the wage bill going on looking at the minimal transfer fees we are willing to accept which should indicate we are in for major signing with big wages.
