		<description>there is a very, VERY good reason why &quot;berba&quot; is dropped for the big games. lazy bastard. I go to OT and away games and watching him on and off the ball in matches, when he decides to join in, honestly he is brilliant, but sadly that&#039;s not nearly often enough. can&#039;t wait til he&#039;s gone.

my worst would be barthez. he was he best goalkeeper on the planet when we bought him. a hort while later his positioning cost us more and more. his mistakes against Madrid cost us the games in 2003. that summed it up for me.</description>

dude, u gotta stop hating michael owen, he&#039;s been a great lad and he&#039;s really trying hard to score goals.. i disagree with u naming him as one of the worst signings... we got him for free and he scored the winner in the BEST manchester derby. im not sure bout you, but that game is one of the most memorable one for me.

im sorry if any of u berba lovers disagree with me but seriously, berbatov has got to do better and be more consistent.. 30million and he&#039;s not paying back by scoring goals and playing well</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t see Ruud coming back as a player. If he ever wanted to get involved in coaching (he is a smart guy) he would almost definetely have a roll here. 

LEGEND.

Beckham and Van Nistelrooy&gt; any partnership in the last 20 years.</description>

Fair enough mate. Its not that he dosent play much but he has been injured for long long time.I dont agree that he slowed our play because most of the times he did not get involved in the build up but just applied the final touch.If he would have stayed we would have still won the double in 07-08.It was just that we lacked a world class player in our team and Ronny decided it was his time from 2006.The defence has improved remarkably since 2006.cant compare evra to silvestre or any central defender we had then to vidic.Rio has matured a lot since 2005. Thats the difference. None of the strikers we signed since owen,tevez or berba are/were as good as RVN.</description>

I think Ruud didnt play a lot this season because of all Kaka, Benzema, Ronaldo, Higuain and so on. They&#039;re probably priority in Pellegrini&#039;s list. Real probably set their mind on selling him so there&#039;s no point of letting him play unless it&#039;s urgency. But I think Ruud still gets his rate of goal per game better than anyone else at Madrid, like Micky did when he was there.

To be honest, I was really ok with selling him at that time because I felt that we needed some changes to win trophies.Sometimes I felt he slowed our play and made our game more predictable. Probably this was why we did not win much in his time. But after three years without him, I realize that I really miss him, not only because he&#039;s the type of forward who we need badly atm but also because he loves United badly (Im supposed those gossip about Ruud coming to Anfield is rubbish)</description>
