Should Giggs be our next marquee signing in January?

He aint got long left in the game, so if were gonna go for him now is the time because I think the Mancs may be ready to offload now.

In short no. I would much prefer Steven Taylor of Newcastle to strengthen the back 4 (posted yesterday). He would definately be a decent addition to the squoad and his contract is being run down. If we're in a good position in January I think we'd be as viable an option as anyone. :ayatollah:

I think Giggs has made it quite clear that he'll retire from playing once United no longer
pick him to play. United certainly wont 'loan' him out to anyone. Once he's stopped playing
for them, they wont be paying for him to play for anyone else! So where the hell do you
think we'd get his wages from :lol:

Well there are already rumblings at Man United that Giggs and Scholes are over the hill so it would not surprise me if the mancs offloaded both, if not in January then defo next summer and why shouldn't we go for him. To answer your question he would pay for himself. Just the mention of his name in a Cardiff City shirt would make millions in the far east in image rights, advertising and sponsorship not to mention the interest it would attract here at home. You have to speculate to accumulate mate. If he was available I think we should go all out to get him. I wonder if he's on Jonesys shopping list for January :lol: :lol: :lol:

Giggs will retire as a Man Utd player. He'll then join the coaching staff.

There's zero chance he'll play for us; all the l.ocal lad guff, he moved away at such a young age it's a stretch to think he's got a massive desire to view this as his "hometown".
