Fergie loves signing strikers though so I doubt if Lewandowski comes it has anything to do with Rooney leaving. I simply can't imagine Fergie starting the season with just 3 strikers, 2 of those strikers are still young and learning the game. Think about it Fergie loves to play players out of position except when it comes to strikers then he prefers players that are natural in the position. The only exception is Ronaldo a few games as a centre forward.

Just like we did with owen Hargreaves?
Pointless investing big sums of money in a player with a terrible injury record. Its amazinghow players perform when they're loking for a new deal and/or a big move - then once it comes go back to being crocked or out of form.
Van Persie would want a big contract - its arguably his last. I just don't see it.
Welbeck and Hernandez has represented their respective nations in numerous occasions and Rooney is a WC player. Considering that Kagawa plays mostly as no 10 do we need a 4th striker?
They'd never sell to us and i wouldnt want us going after a player who's perennially injured. It was just last season that he managed to stay fit.
Add to that the wages he'd want and the fact that he'd want a start more or less every game, it'd be pointless.
Why would we be after Lewandowski? He's class, but surly we're covered with Rooney, Hernandez and Welbeck.
The Hargreaves case was a special case dont you think? We signed Ruud after his injury and that worked out well for us. Even Micheal Owen has contributed over the last few years.
I just cant see Fergie replacing two experienced strikers in Berba and Owen with someone as young as Lewandowski. That would leave Rooney as most experienced forward at 26.
I can imagine what Fergie will say if we sign him:
"We need 4 world class strikers to compete in all competitions"
Aye, but I just can't see us accommodating all four and continue Welbeck's development..
He doesn't though. We don't really have a player who looks for the through-ball. Our midfielders play deep, they shift the ball wide, as does Rooney when he drops deep. He plays the ball wide then hits the box. Hernandez looks to get in behind defences with his pace, but we have no one who looks to float between the lines and play that pass. If Kagawa does that we'll get more out of our current forwards and therefore lessen the need to sign another. In my opinion of course.
Him and Rooney will be like our Cole and Yorke. Hernandez and Welbeck are Ole and Teddy.
I've had bad experiences with Polish people.
I think you just have to look at City last season. Tevez, Dzeko, Ballotelli, Aguero.
All had games and bar Tevez for obvious reasons they all scored a decent amount. We should take a page out of their book and rotate a lot like they did. They always looked fresh up front and being able to bring on another two world class strikers benefited them greatly.
Fergie has been doing that much earlier, mate. You made it sound like they invented it.
I don't think this is going to happen.
Ive faith in welbeck, total faith but I think there's room for improvement and room in our squad for variation.this coming from someone who yesterday was shown his arse regarding a player he watches every week apparently in Welbeck.
Missed a good chance. Sell him.
Well you read it in the wrong way. I was talking about solely about last season and if we have done it in the past (and look at our success in the past) then why are people complaining about this possiblity?
And he scores!
Sign him up!
Good header.
He's scored .Sign him again
Just scored for Poland. Fine header.
sign him ...his fee is going up as we speak
£17.5 million now?
Price just went up.
Piszczek and Lewanndowski look amazing 
hernandez wasnt exactly world class last year was he?
rooney needs a hand and welbeck has a bit to go....
This lewandowski is prolific in the bundesliga, well worth a punt
Sign him up.
In all seriousness, it won't be less than £25M - even this is the only goal scores in the tournament.
his movement for the chance 5 mins ago was also very good. He'd be on 2 if the cross was slightly better if you ask me. Got in front of his defender very well
He was £15million this morning.
Good header, I doubt this will happen but Fergie does love to buy a striker.
Not a priority at the moment, and he's off contract in 2014. Would be preferable to go for him next summer, unless of course Fergie likes him and some club moves for him in the next few months.
If Fergie is genuinely after him, he would have ensured the fee was agreed prior to the tournament, a la Hernandez.
Didn't hold the ball up went it went up to him a minute ago. No thanks.
Basically its all a ploy to try and get Gotze and Hummels, bring their mates first.
Sorry guys, afaik, he's not on our transfer targets list. Although we have watched him and showed interest. I'd be majorly surprised if this actually happened because most of our intent at this point is on Modric and Baines
Are you pretending to be an ITK again?
