I'd certainly put him ahead of any other options we have right now (pending permit issues).

Not a chance that Agbonlahor is pried away from Villa.

His name was just one of the first ones I could think of that fit the profile of what I was thinking of.

As for big name coming in and forcing players to make way. United brought in three big named players that forced there way in at different points in the season. United work best with a rotation and players fighting/working hard for a chance to start. What's great about the squad is they don't complain over starts, encourage the team and they almost always show up to play when called upon. I don't see United bringing in a player that would not cater to this philosophy and thrive in it.

Hey, if we can find an established star forward who's going to be happy in a rotation system, then I'm all for it. Team first. Always.

This time, we only have Rooney and Tevez. The same people who say "z0mfg duch leeg aint no shit, huntelure aint no shit" then go on and say Manucho was great in ACN and is great now in the Greek League! |
Again--if we can set up that rotation and keep everyone happy, then I'm all for it.

Arse have been doing that and look how great it has worked for them!

Don't really give a rat's behind as to what Arsenal have been doing. And they've had issues in other parts of their lineup as well, which affects service to their forwards.

Furthermore, I'd let SAF talk to you about this point.

Hey, if someone could set up a time for me to have a conversation with Sir Alex, that'd be great.
