comment on the article

"Manchester United have completed the triple signing of Nani, Anderson and Tomasz Kuszczak.

Both Nani and Anderson have signed five-year-deals with the Barclays Premier League champions, joining from Sporting Lisbon and Porto respectively.

The permanent transfer of Polish goalkeeper Kuszczak comes after the completion of a loan season from West Bromwich Albion last term.

Nani, Anderson and fellow new arrival Owen Hargreaves will be officially unveiled to the press in the near future.

Meanwhile, Academy scholars James Chester, Richard Eckersley and Sam Hewson have signed professional forms with United, as has Academy student Tom Cleverley."

i'd like to hear some more and see them in action cause i dont no anything about them, but tomasz has been good i cant wait till he replaces van der sar.

BUT WE NEED SOME HOME GROWN PLAYERS WHO ARE BRILLIANT COMMING THROUGH!!! we have to push are own contery forward the reason why other conterys do so well is because we dont have any in are own contery let alone anywhere else in the world we have all the oldys in the us. Owen whos now back in the uk from munich can anyone else think of any other players in different contery which are english???!!!!

But still if we are gonna be the biggest team in the world/ most popular then we gonna hve 2 get players who have a good future.

Like to see that guy from the USA come over!

This is the end of giggs at united he is now in his last full season if he hasn't already done that last season : Perhaps the European problems will be solved smiley As for British players british league, blah blah most of the investment is foriegn, the fanbase is foreign, the media ownership that does the coverage is foreign, last take that all away and you guys will have the best Parish league probably.

Well the logic of these signings appears obvious. Nani to replace Giggs, Anderson to replace Scholes (tough act to follow) and Hargreaves to replace Keane and do what Carrick will never do in a month of sundays, tackle and give a simple pass.
How quickly they settle in will dictate whether Man U have the resources to retain the title. Ballack and Shevcenko underperformed and unsettled the Chelsea system last season. This season I expect them to be more settled and for United to be desperately hoping they have found an exit solution for Scholes & Giggs that doesn't involve DNA and cloning.

Nani is perfect to replace Giggs, he has stunning pace and dribbling and his crossing is fantastic, what more can you ask from a winger. Anderson will have a much tougher job adapting to physically strong English football and do a good job in the middle, that is something only great players can do(Scholes). If he adapts quickly we can expect great things from him. He is talented like no other player at United, not even ronaldo and Rooney where that good at that stage of their careers. Hargreaves is a proven player and there is no doubt he will do good for United. I'm sorry to see legends Giggs and Scholes replaced but I think Ronaldo, Rooney, Ferdinand, Hargreaves will be the backbone to our new team next season and the title will stay at OT!! If Tevez is signed it will be the best 11 United ever had.

Nani to replace giggs, anderson to replace scholesy, pretty good deals. but why spend 17million on a young unproven talent when we could have had torres for 20million.

Torres would have alway picked Liverpool before United so i think going after Torres would be a big waste of time, nani and anderson are a much better deal then only torres
