I think a few of the lads on here are getting a wee bit carried away, I doubt very much he'd be bought as a main striker - he'd be a decent addition to the squad at the right price. I'm actually amazed that people are failing to see that

I agree with this description but how many intelligent link up players do we need? Tevez, Rooney, Anderson and Giggs. Tevez, Rooney, Anderson are younger than Ashton and better IMO and less injury prone and all are actually playing for United already.

I'm amazed that people cant see that we really miss Saha, or a striker that offers what he does.
