Could do a hell of a lot worse
If this were to happen, which I doubt, it would be a massive signing for us. Getting a player in their prime to join us from Manchester United would suggest that our position among the Premier League's best players, and I do consider Hernandez to be one of those, has improved significantly.
Case in point; Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer.

Makes it harder to have a scapegoat!
We can sit him in GDS' old seat so he feels like he's at home
Our crowd will be sitting there not knowing who's got the ball... " Oi matey... Pass it to thingy! "
I'm off to get a tattoo of "whojamaflip"

I got excited when I was tagged in this thread. I thought you had remembered that despite my constant jokes (which are fucking hysterical, fuck you if you dont laugh) I have said since I have joined that Hernandez would be a great pick up for the squad. I think he would take first backup instead of 4th backup anytime.

Reading BBC online today and see we have been linked to Javier Hernandez a striker who I had almost forgotten about tbh.
Taken from the mirror:
"Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas is making a shock move for Manchester United's Mexican goal machine Javier Hernandez - but will have to pay £15million.
Big-spending Spurs have approached the Premier League champions about the little striker, who seemingly cannot get close to winning a regular spot in manager David Moyes' No.1 side.
Villas-Boas knows he needs a new finisher and there are few better than the man known as Chicharito, whose record is excellent despite his frequent spells out of United's starting XI.
Spurs could sell Jermain Defoe before the window shuts - the England striker is being chased by several clubs, who are ready to bid if they encouraged.
Hernandez would be a more-than-adequate replacement and would fit in with their style, and help ease the demands of a busy season at home and abroad.
United are not pushing out the Mexico international, who has never given them any trouble, but a sizeable bid may see his spell at Old Trafford end.
Spurs, characteristically, would like to drive a hard bargain and land Hernandez for around £7m-£8m, but the asking price is double that and will stay that way.
Moyes needs a quick decision on the 25-year-old, as he would have to assess whether he needs an extra striker himself - a squad man happy to make only a handful of appearances - to replace Hernandez.

If true it would seem like another good transfer - a proven premier league striker for reasonable money if we can meet halfway between the two clubs valuations.
It would signal the the for Defoe I fear which would be a shame but Hernandez represents a step up in quality, he is young and with low mileage I think this could be another great signing if it goes through.

Ok at this point its going mental, I can't handle too many more signings
Each time I hear a target, I no longer roll my eyes.

Have wanted this guy for so long.
Don't ever believe it will happen, but one can dream.

Not at all, quality player.
Might have been a time I didnt think he suited us, but thats a different coversation altogether
I cannot fully explain why but I'd rather keep JD. Think sometimes in football it's nice to see loyalty from fans and players alike (Pompy never happened) JD has looked sharp and composed from the bench so far and has the ability to hold on to the ball and drag out the ends of a match whilst also posing a serious threat. Also if United sell him I'd be shocked, though he would at least triple his playing time if he came here
If we are following AVBs supposed ideal of 2 for every position he would see much more game time as our Soldado rotation than Utds 4th choice striker.
