Striker blow

News coming out of Villarreal today is that former United striker Giuseppe Rossi has signed a new 5 year deal with the Spanish club, keeping him there until June 2016.

"It's not good news, it is big news. Rossi is among the five or six best strikers in the world and will continue at Villarreal for many years. This shows the involvement of the player at the club which has often been questioned. There was no danger of that because he still had two years left on his contract. It has simply been renewed for him to be happy and to ensure continuity in the club. " Said the Club's Vice President.

With under a week to go of the transfer window, time's running out for 'Arry to bring in a striker that can convert the chances that our midfield will produce. With Robbie set to leave, Pav being linked with moves away and Crouch and Defoe still struggling to find their scoring boots, it would appear evident that a striker to propel us into the top four would be a must. Is Fabiano still available?

Your thoughts are welcome.
