Reds plan more signings

  United signed Henrik Larsson on a three-month loan deal on Friday, but it is unlikely to be Sir Alex FergusonÂ’s last bit of business in the transfer market as the mid-season window approaches.
  
  Sir Alex plans to recall Giuseppe Rossi from his loan spell at Newcastle because he is not getting enough games, while Alan Smith has begun an intensive fitness programme to improve his sharpness.
  
  That would suggest that the United boss is looking to bring in a midfielder in January as numbers in defence are plentiful.
  
  Following the signing of Larsson, the United boss could have six forwards available in the New Year – including Wayne Rooney, Louis Saha, Ole Solskjaer, Rossi, Smith.
  
  United will not be making a bid for Freddy Adu, who is to return to America after completing his two-week spell with the club. But a transfer now was never in Sir AlexÂ’s plans.

  given that Ole could be in his final seasons, Smith is not even on his full power, Rooney can't perform as out & out, Saha a bit erratic, we do need one out-out striker..
  
  as for MF, we need a DM. OwenH will fit okie.

  simao has shown his loyalty by staying with benifca..
  
  just wondering why don't MUFC got for West Ham skipper, or even the Argie DM who is in West Ham now?
  
  Cheaper than OwenH..
  
  sensible??

  Actually thats probable.He fits the player where he can slowly learn the ropes from Giggs.If we buy ribery we wont be doing justice to him by relegating him to the bench.He deserves to be a first team starter in every team.Giggs have alrdy cemented his place in the first team already. But Downing is a english player.Price is surely inflated.

  To be honest getting Mascherano here is very very risky

  actually.. after 1 yr of acclimatising.. he might be better ready to show what he can do..
  
  a bit of a calculated risk to take him if u ask me..

  can try Simao bah...the prospect of playing w/ Ronaldo shld tempt him instead of languishing at benfica
  
  or if not double the efforts to sign Torres.
  
  But I think the dream combi will be signing both Aaron Lennon and Stewart Downing....they can then replace Scholes & Giggs.

  Torres I'm not so keen on a move for him.. Not really sure if he can adapt in EPL.. How about Huntelaar? Some promising dutch youngster..
