Am I the only guy who thinks Forlan sucks big time? Just look at him squandering all the chances against Newcastle. Has to be the worst buy in MU's history.
Yeah, I'm sure Chelsea and Liverpool would both agree. He kept slipping today, which never helps and add that to the fact that he's been injured for a couple of months and is just trying to gain match fitness again... Other than that, you're wrong: Poborsky
Forlan looked out of sorts today but you look no further than Taibi and the Aussie coke fiend to find worse. Also, Poborsky, as Motter mentioned.
not to mention players coming through the youth system like John O'Shea, Beckham, Scholes, the 2 Nevilles, Giggs, Butt, etc.
LOL! How to date yourself as a "Man Yoo" fan. Poborsky the worst signing. Arf ... Gloryhunting since 1981? Yeah ... right. Then explain to me the words 'Ralph' and 'Milne' in light of your "player-conveniently-signed-in-last-few-years" choice of worst player ever. Man, you guys are muppets.
Well, to be fair, he hasn't really had a run of games and he's still young. It was probably a bit rash to splash out what we did for him, but he was always going to be a youngster for the future who we'd hope could contribute from time to time, which he did marvelously against Chelsea. He's also had some mild success and he keeps at it, although he tends to look a little lost out there sometimes, but that should come as he plays more football in the EPL I would think (hope)... With Ole, Giggsy and Scholes all capable of supporting Ruud in the "slot" or as a strike partner, we were never going to rely on Forlan to score all the goals for us this year anwyays...
Just out of curiosity, did any of you actually see him play for Independiente? He was magnificent. Give him time to settle.
Well, it's a similar argument, but you were obviously counting on Diouf to produce more immediately. Diouf may still come good, but it's later than Houllier was hoping for, I'm sure.
Well obviously. It would have been wonderful if he had followed his two goals against Southampton on his home debut up with another 30 goals and the Player of the Season Award. But that's football. At least our slow-burners do actually burn eventually and, in the meantime, cost nowhere near £28.1m.
Diego has to play to score, and score to play. Based on how many minutes he's actually played, he has not done as bad as it' been made out. That being said, he's a work in progress.
