| Will the club cash in on Chicharito? |
Whether they are true or not certainly remains to be seen, but with Danny Welbeck being the complete center forward, Chicharito could now be seen as third choice at Old Trafford.
One of the biggest debates in the coming weeks will be which one of those two players will partner Wayne Rooney in the United attack, but if the time comes that Madrid offers silly money will Sir Alex Ferguson cash in one of his prized assets?
This is not saying that Hernandez doesn’t have an awful lot to offer the Reds still, because he definitely does, but if the club could get the kind of money that Chelsea paid for Fernando Torres, then it would be seriously something to think about, especially with an influx of talent up front.
According to one rumor, Madrid is only said to be thinking about offering £30million, but that is well below anything that the Gaffer should – and hopefully would – accept for him. Chicharito is only 23-years of age, and a few years from his best years as a player, but he’s experiencing what most call, “a sophomore slump.” Fortunately for him, he has the natural gift of being
Right now, Sir Alex has seven first team strikers on the club’s payroll, and there’s no doubt that at least one or two will be moving on this coming summer, so would he really let one of the most prolific strikers he has ever had go? Absolutely no chance.
Hernandez might be struggling at the moment, but there is no reason why Ferguson would ever have to sell him – and he will come good. Despite the debt being saddled on the club, United, according to David Gill, are in good financial standing and have a decent amount of cash flow. Ever “silly season,” as Sir Alex refers to it, teams like Madrid and Manchester City, are constantly being linked with the best players in the world, because the absurd amounts of money they have been willing to spend.
Because of the long-standing success and tradition, Manchester United has never been a selling club – and will never become one – so Real Madrid and anyone else who will try to persuade players, like Javier Hernandez, can keep dreaming about the virus Sir Alex Ferguson will sell them!
