A month or so ago Carl was reporting about a mystery striker thast would be the biggest signing yet, and had everyone guessing. Carl is this still on the cards or no longer in play?

I mentioned this in conversation with Carl on Saturday, the talk was Ryan Giggs, but apparently it's a no goer now.

If Ryan Giggs WAS the player, then II was NEVER gonna happen. The club should have known better and the rumour mill should have known better.

I dont see why ryan giggs was a non-starter .... what better way to end a golden career by helping the town where you were born to the premier league ... a fantastic ending to a fantastic career! .... plus the bums on seats and the lift it would have given the whole club would have been massive!

It was a non-starter. As can be evidenced by it now not happening. :roll:

Unlike Bellamy, Giggs has no affiliation with the club. He was brought up in Manchester and was actually a Citeh lad until he joined Utd.
