Spot on. we want true united players who bleed for the club, or even if they don't bleed red, have the professional desire to play for us.

What we don't want is someone who just hangs his head when the chips are down, and its likely to happen when you sign someone who doesn't want to come in the first place.

In terms of the ronaldinho deal, didn't fergie say that one of the contributory factors was that we spoke to him but weren't really convinced that he wanted to come?
