Absolutely. As if anyone could watch us fail to create chances week in week out and come to the conclusion we need someone to take the chances.
We need an RVP/RVN Style Signing
- Thread starter mariachi-19
- Start date
RVP and RVN would struggle. Especially Ruud, he'd not even touch the ball considering we cant make a decent pass into the box
We need a total reset.
I would play all the reserves and start from scratch.
Far too many poster boys with little application to go with their limited talent.

Rashford can only play on the left at this stage, relying on him as our forward is ridiculous! Other sides like Liverpool can get away with it as they have prolific wide players; we do not!
Could we try Sanchez upfront for the next few games? He did it for Arsenal quite well.
Like a few have said, we need creativity. CR7/Messi would strugle in this team
and a Giggs one, and a Evra one, and a Vidic one, and a Rio one.
Are you saying we need a striker who can control a football? You're right.
Ding ding ding, we have a weener.
Its like some of you seem to think that wanting a striker like this is to paper over the other cracks at the club... no, its an addition to the rebuilding phase because our current strikers are not good enough to take up the mantle.
Considering we have limited funds, do you honestly think that a star centre forward should be a priority?
If the right player comes along, this should be a one off signing that is not inclusive of our current transfer budget. Its not like we dont have the coin
i’ve been harping on to anyone that’ll listen to me bleat on about this dead horse for weeks now.
the last time we signed a player who made an unquestionable impact was RVP, a player that came into the first team & was immediately better than his predecessor.
it doesn’t have to be some £100mil player; all i want is for us to sign players that make the first team better. in our current situation i’ll take an actual right back!! just some players without the mental baggage with something to prove & overall, the ability to back it up.

It doesn't work like that. We don't have some superstar slush fund stashed away for some random, World Class centre forward. I mean, who would that even be? We have a set amount of money to improve the whole squad this summer, and we need at least one RB, a CB, at least one midfielder and a right sided attacker. We're playing Ashley Young every week. Jones and Smalling still get games when they're fit. Matic is finished. Herrera and maybe Pogba are leaving.
How would a good striker help with any of that?
We've had about 3 shots on target in the last 3 games.
What the feck?
Icardi.
You right? Gone full blown meltdown yet. Why dont you walk away from the compute for a few hours and breath.
What good would that be when Ole would still play Young and Lingard?
You could sign Messi and it wouldn't help that much.
We need a clear system of playing. An identity in all phases that gets the best out of every single player on the field.

We have been trying to sign that individual big names to spark a recovery for years. It hasn't worked as one individual makes much less of a difference than hype and hope suggest.
I'm not angry pal, just staggered at the insane conclusions some posters make.
No logic whatsoever.
He plays GK so that's also De Gea problem solved... btw, he can shoot on target.
You could argue that Van Persie coming in and papering over the cracks of what was a poor and ageing squad left us with problems we still haven't recovered from.
God I love Van Persie, one of my favorite United players ever 
Other than Messi, no one player could come in and lift us enough to challenge for the big trophies. We need at least 2 players per line (maybe more for defense). But that's only if we have a director of football deciding things. Woodie and Ole don't have the gravitas/experience/know how to bring in the talent we need.
I don't understand posts like these, what is he suppose to do when we're not in a transfer window? Your post would make more sense if he had couple of windows to buy a WC striker.
And a VDS
Instead we have too much CRAP
Basically an entire new XI wouldn't hurt
So fecking sad that we're in this position. One can't help but laugh.
"We must buy the next Messi"
@mariachi-19 It's like you saw my name and decided to make a thread about it!
But yeah, totally agree we need to buy someone like Ruud - not sure they're out there

The thread isn't about the massive flaws we all know are killing the club - the thread is about needing an RVN style signing, no? Surely you can't disagree we need a 25 goal striker for next season? The flaws, we need a whole new thread for that
Far ahead of RVN in every dept.God I love Van Persie, one of my favorite United players ever
We had Beckham supplying most of Ruuds goals but our style changed to a more all round team
Yep, then a Cristiano Ronaldo and Zidane type signing.
Pele and Charlton type signings with a Best too.
Totally agree with this. I think the Lukaku experiment has gone tits up and I see Rashford is now turning into a "play for a free at every opportunity" type player, like when he is running after a ball and knows a defender is about to meet him so he turns his body side on to receive the impact just to get a free kick.
A Kun Aguero type player would be fantastic!

Decent, but needs to bulk up?
He could score EVERY type of goal and only needed a sniff. How I wish we had him for far longer than we did.
AwesomeRemember that hattrick against Southampton?
That volley against Villa
I watch the video of all his goals for us from time to time and there were some absolute bangers in there. Even the hat-trick v Olympiakos under Moyes. What a fecking player.Yep, then a Keano and a Bobby Charlton alongside Kieran Richardson and Bebe.
We can only dream.
I disagree, we need to stop signing and relying on one player and actually start showing some structure and building a team as a whole.
People like you forget how many shitty performances were turned into wins by RVP in 12/13. We conceded 28 goals in the first 19 games that season, for comparison we conceded 30 goals in the first 19 this season. Basically we were just as crap at defending but had a world class striker to rely on.
Something G Neville said yesterday in commentary, De Gea has bailed this team out so many times. But when was the last time he made a mistake and a striker won the game for him?
