I can't get over the fact we are contemplating buying a Man Utd reject, who's done well for Villarreal and then spend £15m+ and make him our main striker... I don't think he's good enough, certainly not as our main goalscorer..

That United reject who Alex Ferguson insisted on a buy back 1st option clause in his contract at Villarreal. Why would he do that if he didn't think he was going to mature into a superb forward?
Luckily, or at least I hope luckily, United don't need any more forwards at the moment.
But...
Redknapp also ruled out moves for former Manchester United striker Giuseppe Rossi and Porto striker ‘Hulk.’
“Giuseppe Rossi is a good player but he's not available,” Redknapp said. “Incredible Hulk? No, not going to happen. We're not close to doing anything.”
A lot of people don't realise that not only did Rossi play for Manchester United, but he actually started his career there, too, playing in their reserves. He was touted for big things, and was was quite prolific in the games he played for the second string team. Very skillful, quick and with a clear eye for goal. Although lacking in resolution quality, this is a great video highlighting his time there :

IMO, he's far better than a lot of people have him down for. Definite yes purchase from me, he'd be my second choice behind Suarez should he be available.
Hopefully 'Arry's just talking shit again. I mean, just days before we signed Pienaar he said we weren't close to bringing anyone in.Note: Looks like we're not going to get Rossi or Hulk, Harry just ruled it out...

There's a chance, but hearing him say not even close just disappointing. Guess no new signing for striker position until summer or year after...
