I don't think Owen would be a good buy (even at 7m) since he would not really add anything new to the forward line. Berbatov just does not seem to have the fire and drive to take him to the next level, not to mention that the price tag would probably involve a possible bidding war, and I don't think anyone wants another Ronaldinho saga. Peter Crouch? Thanks, but no thanks. Aston Villa are going to strongly resist any attempts to lure players away from Villa Park over the summer.
In all honesty, if Anelka is available at something resembling a reasonable price, he might be a decent option, however - would Chelsea really sell a player to United?
So ... back to Huntelaar ... proven scorer in the Eredivisie, young, quick and a poacher. He would be another building block in what already looks to be an incredibly promising future at Old Trafford.

I couldnt agree more.
Huntelaar is proven, toped the league scoring in Holland and has the presence and speed United require in their team.
And another thing.... he can take a kick or two and gets back up fighting..... unlike certain other members of United who appear to be made of glass..... cough ......cough..... Saha..... cough ...... cough
I would be more than happy to see Huntelaar at UNited.
I also think Manucho looks promising, cracking record at the African Nations and knows how to hit the back of the net.
With both Manucho and Huntelaar in the squad it would give us incredible options up front with Rooney and Tevez.
On the other hand.... do you think SAF is looking at Ronaldo and wanting to mold him into a CF.... a bit like what Wenger did with Henry?? Interesting for sure.
