Another Striker

[sonicyouth]

From the official Man Utd website, their last reserve game lineup:

Heaton (GK); Bardsley, Pique, Brown (J.Evans, 62), Picken; Heath, Smith, R. Jones, Martin (Gibson, 81); Cooper (Campbell, 77), Rossi.

According to the report, Smith played in central midfield so that would indicate that Heath played there as well.

They are both very highly rated, I think Heaton would really push Evans for a place.

When we signed Lee Holmes many people moaned it wasn't a position we needed, a few games later and they were moaning when he was rested for one game 'cos he had to play for England under 17's.

As I said Heath does also play in central midfield.

It is not a choice between getting a holding midfielder who would have to be one of our highest paid players and getting a youngster on loan where we only have to play a small fraction of that amount.

The wage demands are completely different.

[Johno]

well, i'll give Heath a chance obviously!

[Dazzza]

7 strikers is a tad ridiculous if you ask me, even if you throw a couple elsewhere like Shakes on the wing.

Is there a Premiership club with the equivalent wealth of experience  in  forwards fighting for the same spot?

Backwards but they both appear to have a lot of potential and sometimes you can't ignore talent like that.

anywhere i can get some info on these players

[Spud]

Heath can play in midfield.

Heaton

Promising young goalkeeper who impressed in the Barclays Premiership Reserve League North title win in 2004/05, producing a series of eye-catching performances. An agile shot-stopper, Heaton will provide cover for United's more experienced keepers.

Miglioranzi is back in contention now aswell :shock:
will he fit in?

[sonicyouth]

He played for Cambridge United on loan last season, was used as a striker except for one game in midfield.

here's what some of their fans have to say about him

Cut & paste plese SY this company doesn't like that linkage.

[McLovin]

It's best if he doesn't... sounds dire.

"God-awful striker" and "i tried to wipe him from my memory" were two i can remember off hand...

[janaage]

"He was so bad I've blanked him from my memory." is one quote

[sonicyouth]

aye, that's right Dave. Very reassuring

[Ben Wah Balls]

He certainly did alright in man united reserves on monday with two goals from midfield and that's a pretty high standard with Alan Smith playing, they're reserves beat our first team 4-0 not so long ago.

I think we should wait before judging him, not that we've even signed these players yet.

I am a bit worried having read that now.
