Whoa.. cool down guys.

RVN was an excellent player, a United player, but I have to admit his style didn't allow United to play as freely as they do now. Ultimately his vast goalscoring records didn't convert into a lot of team success, which is ultimately more important. Even though Ronaldo scored a buckload of goals in the past couple of seasons, he's played in a more freestyle position and scored from all sorts positions and circumstances. He knows it and he admits how much his teammates help him.

Now I think we do need to look for a top striker who is a good finisher. Saha is class, but he's not reliable due to his injuries. My top choice would obviously be the French wonder that is Benzema, but it's unlikely we will get him this summer. Berbatov is a great player also, but he's a bit older than I'd like and he seems a bit sulky too. Obviously SAF has a lot of respect for him, but I'm unsure how Berbatov would react to warming the bench. He will also cost a hefty sum. Finally, Huntelaar, who I think could be a great prospect for United. He's a great finisher, great in the air and of a good age. But my concern is a lot of people who compare Huntelaar to Ruud. Does that necessarily mean we will revert back to the way we played when RVN was around? Personally I don't think so. I think with hindsight and proper guidance, as well as playing besides the likes of Rooney, Ronaldo he can learn to adopt to the United style of play. He will cost a lot less than Berbatov and will probably not mind coming off the bench until he's properly settled in.

I don't know about Roque Santa-Cruz. He's had a great season for Blackburn, but it's still only one season to judge him. Dean Ashton is not good enough for us.
