Since Ribery is in all probability NOT available in this window, I would like to see us bid for another wide midfielder (perhaps two) and sell Freddie. Right now, we arguably don't have a NATURAL wide midfielder in the entire first team who can beat his marker 1 v. 1 and score goals, save perhaps Theo.
Does anyone know when El Hadji Diouf's contract expires with Bolton? I would like to offer the slightly outrageous suggestion that despite him being a right sh*t that we could use him. I think he'll head off to Man U when Giggs retires though.
Finally, since Bolton will never sell their best player (who is also the second best wide midfielder in the league this year after Cronaldo) - I hope the Boss takes a look at a player I continue to admire and who has put in some excellent performances in the champions league and for Nigeria at the ANC - Lille's Peter Odemwingie.

Additionally, depending upon their prices, I think that we could benefit from any of the following players deployed as wide midfielders – some of the usual suspects:
WISHLIST:
Abdul Kader Keïta (Lille)
Johan Vonlanthen (Red Bull Stras.)
Tranquillo Barnetta (Leverkusen)
Arouna Kone (PSV)
Jefferson Farfan (PSV)
Romeo Castelen (Feyenoord)
Julien Faubert (Bordeaux)
Odemwingie and Keita will be on display against United, while we'll get to see exactly how effective Farfan and Kone are...
