yeah man yoo have been linked with a promising keeper from the states called Tim Howard, he's in his mid 20's i think. Havnt seen him play but he's suppose to be promising. if they are going to replace barthez they need someone who will form part of the man utd franchise for the next few years. If possible they should go for guys like buffon,toldo,robinson.
Personally i reckon they should sell Beckham for heaps( 35 mill pounds atleast) then with that money buy kewell,emerton and a decent keeper. they'll be short a striker but they've managed with that for the past few seasons. Kewell can play anywhere unlike scholes so he'll be a top buy. Emerton i think can shine in the prem league. He might not have the crossing ability of beckham but he has enough class around him in the midfield to be a decent threat if he joins (giggs,keane,veron,scholes).
Anyway im really diasspointed with my hammers, hopefully they can get promoted..but they wont be the same team with half of them likely to leave.
