Fergie rules out major Manchester United transfer moves
#1
Sir Alex Ferguson has ruled out the possibility of making major additions to his Manchester United squad during the January transfer window.

At the depth of his defensive injury crisis, it seemed inevitable Ferguson would bring in new faces to bolster his side's Premier League title challenge.

"Inevitably, people look to this month's transfer window as a solution to our injury worries but it is not the answer," Ferguson told United Review.
Sol Campbell was among those being mentioned, only for Ferguson to instantly reject the theory that he might be interested in a 36-year-old who played in just one League Two game since leaving Portsmouth at the end of last season.

Although United still have injury problems, Nemanja Vidic and Wes Brown turned out at Hull last weekend and were fit enough to face Wigan at Old Trafford as the Red Devils recorded only their second clean sheet in six games during a five-goal romp.

With Jonny Evans and Rio Ferdinand also nearing recovery, Ferguson sees no need to spend any more of the £80 million he received from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo last summer.

He added: "If someone could give me the name of a really good centre-half who would accept a three-month contract then I would jump at the chance. But where do you find a player like that?
"A decent player would be looking for a three-year contract and I don't need that kind of addition.

"It is difficult enough leaving good players out of the team without adding another to the mix, so I won't be looking for a senior player to ease our defensive crisis.

"Hopefully the worst is over anyway and we can get some stability at the back. Once we do that I am sure we will make up the ground we have lost."

Yeah he doesn't seem too keen on January transfers.

I don't think it's a great idea to not make any transfers.

i think we need them we´ll only a small few changes if`possible. you see look at owen who taught fergie was going to bring him in??? and that goal against city o what a signing that was ehh?

Fergie knows what he is doing and if he dosnt buy in jan we can be confident that he is comfrotable with the side he has.

After today's performance against leeds, we need someone with experience in the middle of the park. Gibbo and Ando will learn, but are not ready to play in tandem. Maybe alongside Giggs, Scholes or Carrick, but they are not creative enough. I think, too, that the Owen experiment has not paid off and we need another top class striker. The younger players, like Welbeck and Macheda should go on loan to learn the game, too.

I hope it is SAF's mind games to keep other teams off the hunt.
