niklas bendter..............that is all.

I think we need at least two to be honest. with Owen and Berbatov hopefully leaving we need one, established world class striker (Cavani, Falcoe, RVP) and then on young up and coming one with potential, as to be honest I dont think Wellback will ever be top drawer either.

Oh god how we need a No. 7 again. I guess Owen has been using it to clean his car or muck out his horses. Hopefully it will belong to a proper player again, someone deserving of it Cavani, Falcoa, Schweinstieger or Bale

If anything we have overachieved with this squad, we have pushed City all the way at least. Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool all have much further to go than us to catch up. City have spent more than anyone lately (not that, that is a problem its theirs to spend) but we still nearly and perhaps should have won it.

If QPR lose by less than 4 goasl I will be impressed.

Nobody had heard of Ronaldo before we signed him or Messi when he signed for Barca and they are the best of the lot, just have to find the next one now. Spending big on names is not always 100% guarantees to success, look at Torres/Carroll.

This is why Roy Keane will always be the true captain of United. Cuts through the BS to say what needs to be said and doesnt care who it upsets in the process even if its SAF, the truth hurts sometime's and Roy doesnt mind for taking the flack from speaking it. God how we miss a real leader like Keane right now on the pitch. Spot on as ever ...

 Well I would disagree with the part of him keeping possession for the team. Twice at wembley this season he has passed to the opposition in or around his own box which has led to the opposition scoring, against City he gave the ball to Toure who scored and saturday he gave the ball to Besquets in his own area who gave it to Villa to ...

 Its not all doom and gloom thats for certain, after all I never even thought we would get to the final this season and wasn't at all shocked by the result, but it might be a good lesson for some of the youngsters like Hernandez, Fabio and Valencia who have been the highlights of this season that there is still more to learn and improve ...

The problem is also that this is not the team SAF expected or wanted after 2008. He was planning on having Ronaldo, Tevez and Rooney as his front line, with Hargreaves for several years to come and they might still have lost yesterday but they wouldn't be quite so far behind in terms of skill and ability. Unfortunately several things happened ...
