Barca quiet on Gudjohnsen talk
-
Barcelona have refused to comment on speculation linking Eidur Gudjohnsen with a move away from Camp Nou. The English media had suggested that Manchester United were ready to make an £8million bid to lure the Icelander back to England.
Gudjohnsen departed the Premiership last summer when he quit Chelsea to accept the challenge at Barca. He was signed to replace Henrik Larsson and now, coincidentally, it is said that is what United want him to do at Old Trafford. Larsson has just left United after a successful short stint on loan from Helsingborgs.
Despite still being in the running for the Treble, United have been left short of striking options in recent weeks with Larsson's departure - as both Louis Saha and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are struggling with injuries. Gudjohnsen has been limited to just 13 starts this season, but he has shown his importance with five goals. -

read what Michael Owen has to say.. he does make a lot of sense.
"I'd suggest Wayne plays better with someone quite quick ahead of him, someone who plays on the shoulder of the last defender," said Owen.
"That player then pulls the defenders a bit, stretches the play and gives Wayne more room in that hole where he likes to play, so that he can turn and play people in, or twist and beat someone, or shoot.
"He's never been a player on the lookout for the shoulder, so playing with someone like Andy Johnson could suit him.
"I'd have thought Andy Johnson would complement Wayne quite well. If it's those two up front, he'll fit into the pattern because Wayne's not ideal for backing into defenders and chasing long balls."
Rooney did play better with Saha.. And he did well with Larsson cause Larsson was great in positional play.
Now, do we still need a positional forward or one like Saha-mould, speed and power type? -
we need a torres sort of player.

Reasonable buy since most of United forwards are injury-proned.
Cheers.
