Think I'm talking rubbish? want to object to the inclusion of Peter Schmeichel? (go on, I dare you) - head on over to the forum and make your noise.
In a little addendum to the Jaap Stam issue, since writing this morning I've read a quote from Sir Alex about having someone lined up... I reiterate my thoughts regarding Kevin Hofland and Phillipe Mexes (who I watched as a 16 year old in the FIFA under 20's World Cup a couple of years ago - and he looked fantastic then). However I will add that Fergie may be worried about signing a young player to fill such experienced boots, leading to the possibility of Laurent Blanc or Valencia's Roberto Ayala, both experienced players but age surely favours the latter. Maybe he'll buy in Blanc and one of the youngsters? you couldn't say United don't need another defender and youth + experience could easily be a formula for success. It's all down to the shrewdness of the Scotsman now, th two week gap and international games before the next game should help matters though.
