Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits he is unlikely to make any forays in the transfer market when the window reopens in January.
Ferguson has been linked with moves for a number of players, including Everton's highly-rated youngster Jack Rodwell.
However, Ferguson insists he will not pay over the odds for anyone and is happy to stick with what he has got at Old Trafford.
"I'm in the same position as I was in the summer," said Ferguson.
"There are a lot of players out there, all valued by their current clubs at £50million. Given the prices being asked, I just do not see the value."

Mark Hughes is on the shortlist to become Turkey's new coach, while Kieron Dyer's West Ham nightmare will cost them close to £30million.

"Liverpool 1986 you must be one of the most disliked fans on here. I remember you getting upset with Fergie in the summer for saying the same thing, you kept going on about his 'lies' then. As Utd fan I wouldn't even care if he said this and then spent 50m. He's earned the right to spend that much on a player on the back of the success he's bought to the club, and through back to back to back champions in recent years. Stop getting upset and concentrate on your club's own stories, because it's not even Christmas yet and you look like winning nowt again. "

"liverpool_1986, hahahahahahahaha........... I did mention that most liverfool fans here in this forum have the mentality and IQ of a tree squirrel, and instead of trying to disprove my claims, fools fans like you strongly reinforce those same claims on a daily basis !
We don't have to look so far back, but just the most recent transfer window, I think Fergie spent less then 5 million quid by virtue of the over-valuation of players, and instead made a handsome profit from Ronaldo's sale... This CLEARLY demonstrates that you are more than a muppet !
By the way, even if your useless rafa is going to spend 100 million quid in the January transfer window it still won't save you lot from this season being an utter DISASTER !!! LOOOOOLLL........"

"Ha Ha, liverpool 1986 (Must be to ashamed of what happend in 1985 i guess!) Your always good for a laugh, when have we ever gone out and spent £50 million. Just cos your club could afford to sign that beach ball, let alone a decent striker"

he can be a true hit. solskjær has a lot of faith in him and after watching him in the cupfinal and some serie games, i must say he has something special about him, not least all the goals he scores, with both feet and head"
