Does anyone want us to sign Gervinho?

Not bothered, he's another nobody in my book. We need players a level above.

Yeah because it means turd burglars like Bendtner will be moved on.

As for Gervinho himself, don't know anything about him really but appears to be a typical Wenger signing. Seems to be able to take a few players on from the youtube highlights I've seen. Not particularly excited about his potential signing but hopefully he can freshen things up a bit up front, where apart from RVP, it went very stale last season.

Right kind of player, someone with pace, power and a love of dribbling as well as a half decent goal/assists record but whether he's the right player I couldn't really comment; it's not particularly exciting at any rate but as a replacement for Bendtner he could work out a little better.

While United are not resting on their laurels and are strengthening their squad with top quality players who can come in and do a job straight away (and don't need time to acclimatise to the EPL), we seem completely paralysed, with the only deal looking vaguely likely to go ahead is Gervinho, and his signing won't exactly send a statement of intent to the other teams will it?

*meh*

We tend to do things quietly, I think it's a little early to say that buying a lazy winger and a teenage defender has sent shockwaves around the world at how awesomely deadly Man U's negotiating team are, it's the quality of signing not the size that matters, Vidic was 8m, unknown and a damn sight better than the well known Lescott at 18m.

Maybe its time we stopped doing things "we tend to do" cos let's face it, things "we tend to do" hasn't worked out well for us. Just for once I would like us to sign a big name player that the knowledge of him just coming in excites the fans. We haven't had that since Sol came in 2001 tbh.

I agree, tired of signing nobodies all the time, we should sign quality established players too.

Young won't be lazy there that's for sure. It's his big chance at the top, with his dead ball and crossing ability I think United will see the very best of him. Besides I'm not sure if he's lazy anyway, he's not a Valencia/Park grafter type, but then United have plenty of workers and are rightly adding some extra ability in there. They have bought the right player IMO but time will tell.

It's funny 'coz it's true.
