Adriano leaving?! LMAO
Paper talk, pure paper talk
Man Utd know that they need to be associated with a big name striker to replace RvN - this is just one name they have come up with.
IMO I'd not be surprised if Imbrahimovic were to join Man Utd as Juve have said he is avaliable.
EDIT: Scratch that:
Inter have won the race to sign Juventus striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the demoted Italian giants have revealed.
All three of the country’s major sports papers have today insisted that an agreement between the two clubs was reached last night and the club have confirmed the whispers this morning.
Although Juventus had initially stated that the player would remain before putting a £28m price tag on his head, he’s been sold for £17.7m.
Ibrahimovic is now expected to sign a four-year contract with the San Siro giants in a deal which will see him net £3m a season.
Milan were also very keen on the player who had made it clear that he would not play in Serie B this season.
However, Inter have beaten their city rivals for the super Swede by wrapping up negotiations on Wednesday.
Owner Massimo Moratti supposedly got involved in the discussions himself with a crucial phone call which secured him the services of the international.
They made their move after primary transfer target Luca Toni surprisingly reached an agreement with Fiorentina to stay a Viola.
Ibrahimovic’s arrival, after that of Hernan Crespo this week, will now probably lead to the departure of Obafemi Martins who is wanted by Newcastle and Liverpool.
Ibrahimovic, who now follows Patrick Vieira to Inter, arrived at Juve in the summer of 2004 after an £11.5m offer was accepted by Dutch giants Ajax.
Adriano, Crespo amd now Zlatan as our strikers, guess this means that Obi Martins will be leaving  and Julio Cruz will be used as backup, would much rather Cruz left and Martins stayed though.

Graveson and Bridge would be good signings. Can see them doing well if the strikers start to score goals.

Gravesen is really good imo, bit fiery but sometimes that's what's needed

Emre too, building a decent side there. Shame Owen's out for so long wonder if Lucae (sp) will start to perform?

The Rams should tie up the Pearson deal and Lupoli will come on loan but I doubt very much that Eastwood will come to us after having 2 bids rejected!

Emre has the potential to be one of the best midfielders in the country providing he can stay fit - Newcastle done really well to get him, I rate him really highly (above Gatusso imo)

Luque was a typical Newcastle panic buy, expensive, foriegn, hyped up reputation and a total fucking donkey. What the fuck Souness saw in him is beyong me, He is slow, weak, cant pass and can't shoot for shit, Deportivo seen us coming a mile off.

Emre has been a good signing for us but he does go missing quite a bit in big games, hopefully that was just part of him settling in last season and he will be more consitant this, however I think him and N'Zogbia will be a really battle for a starting place.

I'll admit to be biased at times yes, but I honestly do rate Emre up there with Gatusso who I rate very highly and considering I'm a Inter fan and Gatusso pisses out black and red urine I'd say I'm not being biased at all in this case tbh, it's personal opinion.
