Saha played the Cup Final because it was his goals that got him there. Ruud showed a serious flaw in his attitude by not being able to accept that. His performances on the pitch following that day showed him as someone who looked like they couldn’t give a shit less. Anyone remember that godawful penalty against Sunderland, on the day we drew 0-0 with them at OT and they got relegated?

From January to the end of the season, Saha made 17 appearances, 13 of those were starts, and he scored 9 goals. In that same time period, Ruud had 16 appearances, 11 of those were starts, and he scored 6 goals. Saha proved his was good for the starting place.

RvN was an awesome player, top quality, and there was no doubt that he was going to prove himself again in the Spanish League. But he doesn’t have the mentality to be a United player.

Look at Giggs in 1999. He was getting a lot of stick and was dropped for Blomqvist! Didn’t stop him coming off the bench and scoring that goal against Arsenal in the Cup.

No player at United can be afforded a status where they believe they are bigger than the club. Ruud thought he was, so he had to go.

Didn’t RVN score 21 league goals that season, justing finishing behind Henry as top goal scorer? Not surprised he got fed up playing second fiddle to Mr Glass.

Honestly I cant say i miss him but we realisticly do need a striker of that ilk, maybe one who runs would be preferable!!

Ruud left simply because he fell out with Ronaldo? Not a chance. He was dropped for the Cup final and threw his dummy out. He thought he was too big to have to fight for his place at this club.

Austin, I think thats not fair did you think the same of Keane when he fell out withy McCarthy?

I am not RVN biggest fan but but I think we should respect what he did for our club, he left simply because he fell out with Ronaldo.

People who are accusing his passing accuracy… please check out Opta or any other season stats… He was among top 5 passer in 2007-08 season with accuracy of 89%…

I think calling one of our best strikers of all time as a self obsessed sulk is a little harsh!!

I rated him so highly and gave him as much support as was feasible but unfortunately it is time for him to go. I do wish him every success in the future as well as good health because surely all these injuries will take their toll on him after he retires from the game.

Oh btw i think scholes is still the one to start our central midfield at least till next season. He holds the ball and control the rythmn better than any of our players and he compensate his increasingly lack of pace with his cross field passes
