There are tons of players that flopped at United. Djemba, Kleberson and everyone but they weren't as significant as the ones I mentioned, I feel.

Reason why I didn't mention Veron is because I felt it was a real eye-opener. I wasn't accustomed to watching Italian football and I really liked him. I remember his role in the 2-0 against Arsenal (IIRC), immense performance. And there was one game in Europe, can't remember which team but he was spraying passes left, right and center. A majestic performance from him - just felt that Fergie was caught in two minds at that time on how to integrate Veron. Right player, wrong time. A lot like Blanc.

Like I said,I don't watch a lot of Italian football but he never impressed me in the matches I saw. Just the same way Totti has never impressed me.

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.

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

United should have tried harder to sign Shearer when he was available back then. Classic centre forward, equally great with feet & head.
