United Line Up Saviola Swoop
Manchester United are reportedly on the trail of Barcelona striker Javier Saviola.
Saviola, 25, has already confirmed he will leave the Spanish champions when his contract expires this summer, meaning he can move for no transfer fee.
According to The Sun, the Argentine has made it clear Old Trafford is his preferred destination after three years at Barca, despite interest from Arsenal, Liverpool, Bolton, Valencia and Real Madrid.
He said: "I consider my career at Barcelona is finished. There are several offers on the table."
Saviola moved to Spain from River Plate in 2001 but despite an impressive goalscoring ratio, he never really established himself in the first-team.
He was shipped out on loan to Monaco for the 2004-05 season and then to Sevilla last year where he helped the club win the UEFA Cup.
Earlier this season he scored 8 goals in 6 matches in the absence of star striker Samuel Eto'o, but again found himself benched when the Cameroonian returned.
United have been linked with a host of strikers since the end of the season including Eto'o, Fernando Torres and Nicolas Anelka. -

saviola shld be a good signing. morever he'll be free. -
actually ive seen alot of him. at river, monaco and barca. but somehow his performance is never worthy of playing for a club like manu. this is probaly a rumor and nothing moreOriginally posted by Adolez:then maybe u never seen enough of him.

I think is yet another smokescreen
-
we'v already got guiseppe rossi.
if man u is really looking for a striker they should go for someone stronger and more well built. -
funny, when I was playing Championship Manager, I always buy Saviola bcos he is damm good a player - but in reality it seem not the case, otherwise he won't be loaned out from barca.
SAF has said he wants speed in his attack & Saviola seem to suit the bill - but as I understand, he lack height therefore, headers for him is out. But one concern is, once the box gets crowded, how is ronaldo, nani or anderson gonna thread passes to him?
With Rooney preferring to play in midfield, Man U have not a out and out striker - Saviola lack the height / presence. But I won't say he is a bad buy but somehow does not fit the hole that is now in the team. -
Wow 8 goals in 6 matches, wonderful!
-
hmm alright fair enough. i respect ur views.Originally posted by used:actually ive seen alot of him. at river, monaco and barca. but somehow his performance is never worthy of playing for a club like manu. this is probaly a rumor and nothing more
but after all he'll come for free. so it will not be that bad. maybe he'll come good.
-
Hmmm... well, even if he is no good, he can be sold for cash with no worries; whatever price he is sold at, is still a 100% profit for Man Utd.
Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to have an extra player right?
Reckon that he is good lah...trust SAF's foresight in signing players -
i guess SAF dun wan play long balls...if they buy a target man..end up playing like chelsea or liverpool...manu attack wit pace..n mostly counter attack...
-
saviola's good....although not anywhere near as good as tevez but he'll still be a great signing....if only angel was still at villa then we can entice him to come villa.....
