  As title of this thread... Anyone think so too? Cos with Heinze going and Newcastle keen on signing Silvestre... United could very well need to buy another defender...
  
  Newcastle's manager fears he may have missed out on signing Silvestre from Manchester United. Although Allardyce is believed to have agreed a £6m fee with United for the left-back, Silvestre turned him down due to Joey Barton's presence at St James' Park. Manchester City's Ousmane Dabo is Silvestre's best friend and the victim of an alleged training ground assault by Barton at City. Newcastle are hoping the arrival of Silvestre's former team-mate Smith may change his mind.

  6m for Silvestre?
  I think United are finally getting good money for players they dont need.
  
  Cheers.

  I don't think we'll need to bring in any defenders.
  
  We have ample backup in our youngsters like J.Evans, Pique and maybe even Cathcart(drifted into first team from U18 last season).
  
  Utility man like JOS and Fletcher.
  
  and Hargreaves, which Zocoss mentioned before, can play at right back.
