He is a better striker but 29 give him a year to settle 30 - leaves him 2-3 years at the top. Villa for £40m is a rip off, no resale value and if he failed to impress in first season we couldn't recoup anything more then £20m imo

I don't think United could afford Sneijders transfer fee (£35m+) and his wages appro looking at near 200k. If he came available why wouldn't Barca target him over Fabbers? Older but better.

Van Bastan with Hiddink above him in whatever pointless role Roman wants to give him. I think this is the best thing that we do can now in the situation we have put ourselves in, as Hiddink is good buddies with Roman I would expect that they have a good understanding and Hiddink will know that we need stability because at present we have non of that. Assuming we get Van Bastan and Hiddink then there is a chance that Roman will have less of a say in footballing matters then he does at present. Hiddink: Director of Football Van Bastan: Manager Franco: Assistant Keep the set up for 3 years and re-build the current ageing and under performing squad.

Drogba on the bench the latest team news

I agree about having a manager that is British. I am a little surprised that David Moyes isn't linked as he would be my favourite. Done wonders on a shoe-string budget has massive potential as well.

Wooahh I disagree with mass changes as a few small teaks is all that is required at the moment. We are crying out for new wingers because at present all we have is Malouda who's form has dipped to say the least. The defence won't change with PVA staying at the club to become Cole's understudy. I think a few players will leave such as Ferriera, Zhirkov, Benayoun, Drogba and Anelka. altho it sounds like a lot only two of them are actually first team players. All we have missed this season is depth to our squad which we had last season from the likes of; Ballack, Joey and Deco. Its had to guess what could happen in the summer as no one is sure to what Romans plans are. So I wouldn't be surprised is our starting line up was... Cech, Ivanovic, Alex, Terry, Cole, Essien, Lamps, Ramires Kalou, Torres, Malouda, Subs; Hilario, Luiz, Mikel, Van Aanholt, Josh, Kakuta, Sturridge I personally would love for us to try and sign Kaka hoping Mourinho is still there next season as he's not an admirer of Kaka and would fit into our squad perfectly and give is more creative choices in the last third of the pitch, something we don't have especially from Sundays viewing. Wingers available; Sanchez Ribery Mata Neymar Pato.. Just a few off the top of my head anyway.

I wouldn't rule it out, the only thing that I don't understand is why Roman didn't want to keep Wilkins. But then if we are looking at cutting the wage bill again next year Hiddink will be asking for a fair bit, unless Roman sees this as his 'dream team' then here's to hoping.

Congrats to the lad, although my opinion of how players get a call up has dropped after looking at the England squad. Lescott? and Kyle Walker? 1 rarely plays and when he does plays awful and the other scored a goal for therefore he gets the nod.
