I agree 100%. If we can't sign Ronaldinho (although I'm still not convinced) then we should be looking at Kluivert (just cause he's cheap) or someone else to play up front with Ruud. Although Scholes scored a good few goals this season, I think our successes with 4-4-1-1 were down to Solksjaer coming in from the wing to make a second striker. Scholes on his own is far less effective because his main talent is for arriving late, un-marked. With only Ruud up front, another defender could watch Scholes without leaving someone open, thus negating his threat. I also think Veron would be far more effective with two strikers in front of him. He likes to fire balls to strikers on the edge of the area, but when Ruud is marked by two central defenders all the time, it hardly ever works. With two to aim at (and therefore more space) he would create far more goals. Ed ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Save on Coral Calcium.
