Manchester United to bid for £22m DEADLY FINISHER!

It appears that Sir Alex is getting frustrated at the lack of movement regarding the on/off transfer saga to bring Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham, so much so that he looks set to move for another, possibly better, target!
Why not join the debate at the COS forum?
Manchester United have reportedly registered their interest in Klaas Jan-Huntelaar amid growing fears Dimitar Berbatov’s proposed move from Tottenham could collapse.
A report in El Mundo Deportivo claims the promising Holland international, 24, has been sounded out by Ferguson as an alternative option.
The striker even declared his love of Manchester United earlier in the summer when questioned about rival interest from Arsenal.
“It’s a club (Manchester United) that makes me dream, especially as Ruud van Nistelrooy played there and did great things with them,” he said. (Telegraph)
This Dutch striker is real quality, a goalscorer who is clearly keen on proving that his haul in the Eredivisie is not just a sign of the lower standard in that league. He looks more than likely to opt for a move if a real big fish came in for him. He is rapidly approaching what might be his peak and a move to United must surely interest him greatly, especially when you consider that since he has been at the Amsterdam club, they haven’t managed to unseat perennial champions PSV.
He could well be the next Ruud and I am certain that if the Premier League champions did sign him up, he would be a great success. Do United fans think that Huntelaar is a better target to chase than Berbatov?
Debate the latest rumours at the brand spanking new COS forum!

berbatov is a balanced striker and make goals when it is needed but they should hurry up or it will be too late; but it will be still be good if they sign huntelaar or loan them to see how he adpts on the premier league….

I beg you state the player in the title cuz I click thinkin we’re gonna buy somebody serious and all I hear about is Berbatov and Huntelaar.
yavihah - August 21st, 2008 at 2:21 am
ok then say the players u want instead of berbatov and huntelaar….. cuz there are a lot of strikers and those might adapt to ferguson style of play
PeeJay - August 21st, 2008 at 3:07 am
Huntelaar wouldn’t adapt and is no Van Nistelrooy. We know about Eredivisie top goalscorers, like Senor Alves.
Berbatov is a good player but is too old and too expensive to be a great signing.
yavihah - August 21st, 2008 at 3:11 am
hunrelaar is a better option to loan to see what he can do… berbatov is the only choice know cuz ronaldo and wayne rooney are out and they need a person who can know how to make goals for know…but the bad thing is that we don’t choose who leaves and who goes to a new club…. we just discuss about it….
lui - August 21st, 2008 at 4:41 am
certainly is a good option.. he is a proven goalscorer.. so go for it fergie
Gee - August 21st, 2008 at 5:31 am
Get your filtyhy hands away from berba, he’s a spurs player.
Take huntelaar instead, thanks
ajuni edwin charles - August 21st, 2008 at 5:34 am
it would be a healthier thing for alex to sign both babertov and huntelaar if the dream of a treble repeat is to be realised coz the injury crisis will be occuring to any of the current united strikers
Why not not go for both hunte and berba because we have alot of matches to play 4 instance look at what is happing 2 our midfield. Any can get injured n we can still carry on - August 21st, 2008 at 5:56 am

Fergie,
Why do you need this Huntelaar? If you want someone who likes to score goals in the Eredivisie I think I know someone you might be interested in. Plays off striker or out on the wing. He works very hard and would take no time to adjust to England since he is here already. You can have him for £20 million but might consider £18 million. What a bargain this is, yes? You call me.

Wouldn’t mind any as long as they can score one goal better than our opposition.Henry T can be of value given his pace and movement off the ball.
Geir - August 21st, 2008 at 9:04 am
Yeah. Sign him. I’ll rather go for the Hunter than Berbatov….
ian - August 21st, 2008 at 3:42 pm
I’d go for Falcao ahead of berba and hunter
Gotta Bigone - August 21st, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Ian you’re talking rubbish falcao is completley unproven in the real world, sounds like you’ve been playing too many football management games, i don’t mind if man u sign either, i would rather have berba simply because hes a proven prem league goalscorer an hes gotta bit of magic, however i do think that loaning huntelaar with a view to purchasing him would be a better option if we don’t get dimi.
ManU - August 21st, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Raised the money that Spurs wanted for Berba by selling John Oshea off because Oshea is the most useless and had no improvement or pace at all.
Faisal - August 21st, 2008 at 6:26 pm
We have to buy berbatov because we in need of strikers now
Saad - August 21st, 2008 at 6:45 pm
berbatov has his own class.he is one of my favourite players.
but he is too old 4 man utd.
huntelaar is perfect 4 man utd.he has attitiude,,,he loves this club,,he is young.
but it doesn’t matter who is coming 2 old trafford.
both will b suitable 4 our club.
IMMANUEL - August 21st, 2008 at 6:46 pm
ferguson please can u sign hunterlaar and we enjoy football as every man u fans hope. he is better than torres or equal to him. we missed in torres but hunterlaar is ready for us. please man u need him more than he need man u. get him so that the world should bow down to the greatest squad ever assembled by any coach. tevez rooney hunterlaar ronaldo nani anderson da silva brothers possebon . what a team. get him fast before real madrid gets mad and take jim to the shit spain.
IMMANUEL - August 21st, 2008 at 7:02 pm
ferguson much as your are sir it means alot to young vkids who follow man u to the bone like me. all i need is you to bring hunterllar to old trafford and we baptise all teams with goals like never before. hunterlaar is a man u character to the bone, a true number 9 as ruud van nistelrooy once said madrid will make him worse only united and hunterlaar can work better. please get hunterlaar rather than the proffessed berbatov. ramos is a spain man and want to do exactly what we did to madrid about ronaldo. next year get ronaldo out of man u.
Gibbons the hoop - August 21st, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Ian I agree but I think he ain’t proven even though he is God in human form. Hear Arsenal want him. But the Hunter is Ruud but with tricks and is more mobile. He also scores overhead/bicycle kicks!

huntelaar is much better an younger he is a man u player sign him fergie
Anonymous - August 21st, 2008 at 9:48 pm
huntelaar would be a better choice he is what united need he is skillful tall young he would be better than torres he is just as fast as berbatov tevez huntelaar with rooney behind them united dont need berbatov man u will be stupid if they sign bebatov for 30 mil when they can get the hunter for 20 mil the prem leauge is overated huntelaar would scores goals for fun at united i dont see why they need to sign berbatov when we have anderson ronaldo rooney scholes carrick to make chances we just need some on to finish them huntelaar would do that every time tap ins headers an bicygle kicks all for 20 mil or on the other hand 30 mil for berbatov with his sulking an no work rate for the team an his stupid hair no contest for me the hunter klass jan huntelaar
