BFerguson6 121 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 We had some great players and fantastic squads, but I always felt we were lacking that one out and out goal scorer, albeit Wallace was in first season, hence why we signed Mols,and probably a genuine solid centre half. Who do you think would have made the difference in Europe with that squad we had, I've always said Laudrup staying and someone like Solskjaer would have made a huge difference. Not sure about centre half, maybe Frank if he came with Ronald? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getstiffed 8,863 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 If we'd had a striker who could score 9 or 10 goals in the CL we'd have skooshed it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'm almost certain he tried to sign Jaap Stam, we were also linked with every striker going although fuck knows how much truth there was to a lot of them.I'm sure we were linked with Van Nistelrooy as well, I remember he said we offered him the better terms.

Skol 401 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Raul Tamudo, if he settled could have been a fantastic player for us. Didn't he fail a medical? We then went on to sign Flo and the rest is history. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
