Regret not extending contract of :

- pires
- flamini (earlier)


Regret not forcing Bergkamp to reconsider retirement

Back when Cantona was still in MU, he recommended Zizou to SAF. They even scouted him live in a game if I'm not wrong. I don't know whether he already signed for Juve or not but it went back that far.

Gunners here too.

Agreed on flamini, but anelka? i thought it was one good decision by wenger. bought him around 500k i think, n sold for 22M, ain't that 1 hell of a business (for that time)? haha

my regret: selling off Thierry.

not so sure about berba, though. i don't think he's suited for manutd gameplay.

i dont know bout u guys, but i like sheva. its just that, he was at the wrong club(chelsea), that's all, hahaha

1. emerson to milan
- just add the number in the oldies club list... haish..

2. sheva to chelsea
-from arguably most dangerous striker, to 2nd rated player..

takmau.

I'll shed into tears

i tot mu should be "veron"

arsenal:
should not: reyes
should: pires, henry, flamini, cech, c.ronaldo(but wonder will he bcome a world class under wenger because he prolly wont get enough freedom to do his own style)

real madrid
diarra (from lyon)
woodgate

liverpool
rafa

Selling Anelka was one of the best things that could have happened. It brought us the best striker that ever graced Highbury, it gave us extra money where we used to establish a state of the art academy and training facility.

Transfer flops for Arsenal, but good thing was that none of them costed us huge money:
1. Reyes - never the same again after the 'black shit' saga and later the radio hoax. Career went down the drain after leaving Arsenal.
2. Baptista - Whoaaaa....luckily it was only a loan deal. Still a flop considering the hype.
3. Jeffers - Eh? Spent more time in the hospital than on the pitch. Another player whose career went down the drain.
4. Inamoto - another loan deal so not much lost here, but only managed 1 first team appearance in CL.
5. Amaury Bischoff - basically here for rehabilitation, once he got fit he chose to leave. Half decent player to be honest, too bad he had zero patience.

Against Maccabi Haifa in 2002 i reckon.

Back then I was making a compilation video of van Nistelrooy's goals in 2002-2003. Alot of his early season goals went like this, "Veron, to van Nistelrooy, GOAL!". This repeated extraordinarily amount of times especially in Europe.

As ManUtd supporter i would say selling Forlan. He was a fan favourite although wasn't as prolific as Saha went he came in, but when he was on, he is REALLLY on.

Transfer which happened i wished never, Bosnich ... Barthez was good when he first came in but soon became.

Transfer which never happened i wished, in 1996 we were actually linked to Shevchenko. 3 whole years before he burst into the scene as UCL top scorer in 1999.

LOL that guy is a joke together with Bramble
Absolute defense nightmare

Biggest mistake:
Signing Rafa benitez on a five year deal.

Why would it be Rafa? We did progress under him.We did have a stronger and better squad compared to the one GH built.

If there's anyone I think we shouldn't sign it's Parry!


Bad SigningS/sales:

Harry Kewell- total waste of money.Spent most of his time dating nurses.

-Sold warnock and in return, get a flop in the name of Dossena
-Sold Guthria and get Lucas... (both are probably playing at the same level)

Lose 2 HG players that their price now might be double or triple of what we get....

-Then, Morientes

-A certain spitting king called Diouf

-Itandje

Then we have Josemi... Kromkamp.....


Good signingS/sales:

Hyypia- from an unknown to a legend

Hamann-influential midfield engine

Steve Finnan- underrated yet reliable wingback

Luis Garcia- Ppl dun call him King Garcia for fun!

Alonso- One of the best passer around.

Fernando Torres- need me to say more?

Reina- His records prove it...Not even reaching his peak yet.

Aurelio on free- quite a bargain if you ask me except that he is quite injury prone.

Mascherano- one of the best dm in the world..

Benayoun was a steal for his price.


That's so much I can think for now...

yes,his transfer brought us a hefty amount of money.but what if he stays?i thought back then arsene used to imagine anelka combine with henry?how's that for a combo?look at anelka now.he maybe off form in some games but he still has some neat touches that brought chelsea where they are now.and he play week in and week out for chelsea.rarely got injured.don't you think he can be great with us?

boumsong.lol.i tell u,i can defend better than him!:P i wonder what juve sees in him.

saha consider a candidate for MU?
sheva -> chelsea?

I think Bergkamp on his down days is much better then Anelka at his best.

Jaap Stam, David Beckham, and Van Nistelrooy

But then, we got ronaldo to replace beckham

people said biggest transfer regret, not your club best signing ...

Sorry to say, had anelka not left.

King Henry won't come....

No United fan would consider Saha as a signing we regret. Great signing, shit luck for him.

Ditto Kobe. Saha is a great signing for Man Utd, just that he is injury prone but when he is fit, he is on the same par as any other top striker in the league during his time at Old Trafford.

Essien
