van Nistelrooy - should we make an approach?

We dont need RVN guys. We dont necessarily need a striker that scored 40 goals every season, but simply one that does the same things that Sheva does and has the same characteristics (for example: Cassano, Adriano, Henry, Ronaldo). RVN would definitely be a step backwards. Man U are asking for 30m euro's!!!! LOL!!!

A little bit of current position of our projected strikers by Dr. Galliani

''Drogba and Van Nistelrooy are two main attackers so they can't substitute Shevchenko. I said no about Ronaldo as it's not possible to win over a Real player while the real dream was Henry who decided to stay at Arsenal. I tried after the Champions League when I saw the tears of his fans. I want him because of what he does as a player, but he's not available anymore."

Im so happy Galliani said that!!

Hopefully this thread can now be put to rest.

GET REAL GUYS

Van Nillsteroy will get your goals, goals, goals !.

He did played for probably the most offensive and inventive support force ever in Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, keane. Van basten in this company would have been as good as pele.

Van nilsteroy is in fact a more decisive finisher than van basten. Here is the best finishers in world football.

1) Gerd muller 2) Eusebio 3) Alan Shearer 4) Ronaldo 5) Romario 6) Van nilsteroy 7)Papin 8) puskas 9) Jimmy Greaves 10) Denis Law
12) Van Basten

The worst ? try Obufemi Martin, Andy Cole, Kieran Dyer, Jon Macken etc, etc.

Your joking right? Shearer Number 3! Van nistelrooy 6! What a ridicolous list. Only Muiller, Ronaldo, Romario, & Eusebio are ok on that list, along with MVB. The rest aren't in the same league for finishing.

Van Basten had Gullit, Ancelotti, Rijkaard & Colombo plus others. All better than anyone that played with Van Nistelrooy in United.

You can add Donadoni, Savicevic and Boban to that list too.

Actually Shearer is as good a finisher as i've ever seen, he lost out to those other players in terms of all round skill certainly but on finishing alone he could score as well as any of them, whether it be poaching, headers, long range, freekicks, powered or placed. Ruud wasnt as good as he only scored from close range, though his effectiveness there is clear for all, it only takes a quick glance at his scoring record.

As for discounting Law, Greaves and Puskas so easily, i am quite shocked as those guys were all legendary finishers

Maybe its because Greaves 'failed' at Milan, he only, managed 9 goals in 12 games before homesickness made him move back to England....can you imagine what he could have done if he had been settled?!

And Puskas? he didnt play in Sertie A which seems to be held against him by some, but just look at his scoring record. He was scoring at nearly a goal a game for Madrid well into his late 30's!

Van Basten had Gullit, Ancelotti, Rijkaard & Colombo plus others. All better than anyone that played with Van Nistelrooy in United.

maybe im biased (well actually there's no maybe about it ) but i for one wouldnt put any of those guys ahead of Giggsy on the left wing.

From the players I've seen, concerning the fact im only 22, I'll make this list, but not by the numbers....

Romario, Šuker, Shearer ( the legend!), Sheva, Ronaldo, Trezeguet

I'd pretty much agree with that, adding Ian Rush, Ruud and Batigol, i never doubted any of them once they got a chance.

I only remember the tail end of Rush's career but do remember he scored a crucial goal to deny Utd the title in 92
