I agree, however I have mixed feelings about it. Obviously every team wants to improve thier squad, especially if they are going into the Champions League for the first time, but what about all the players that got you there... they'll be sold or banished to the sidelines/reserves.
There is a lot of players out of contract in the summer. If you look at our team at it is now, we need a new keeper, as Martyn will be leaving at the end of next season - Moyes will need to get a long-term replacement in for him (Richard Wright isn't the answer..) -
A new left back, Pistone and Naysmith are just pants.
1/2 new centre backs - Weir and Stubbs both out of contract in the summer, will be up to Moyes if he offers them another contract.
Central midfielder to replace Tommy Gravesen. Maybe Arteta is the answer, but if not there will need to be a replacement.
A striker. Marcus Bent and James Beattie isn't enough to survive in the champions league! We need competition for places, not just 2 strikers..

Being a generous Utd fan and wanting to do something nice for English Clubs in Europe, I'm willing to give you:
Roy Carroll Phil Neville Quinton Forune Kleberson and David Bellion
I know there's a few Pompey fans on here - what's your opinions on the new stadium development plans? They look good in my opinion. Will it be a waste of money?

Does anyone else think Quinton Fortune is a decent player? I mean, i'm not trying to say he's excellent, but he's a very good squad player, who can play in a number of positions quite comfortably, and always puts in a decent performance.
I read on SSN that Mourinho has said he'll play some part, but not a full game. I guess it'll be similar to the situation with RVN last week. Wonder how Mourinho plays it.
I'd personally start him, you're going to need all the help you can get.
Either that or he'll use Rooney as a firth midfielder, and leave Ruud up top on his own. He seems to like doing that.
I quite like Fortune, but think we have someone i'd rather play in every position, so he's unfortunate i think.
No matter what, i'm expecting some negative tactics, trying to defend well and steal a goal. We should attack hard from the start and try and score a couple.
