Cya Saha

Solius · 29th August 2008, 17:19

With Louis' departure soon to be confirmed if he pases the dreaded medical. I thought I'd start a little thread where we can remember his time at United.

Kidding, heres some YouTube clips

Surprised he gets back up at 1:12

The finish at 2:39

You forget how good a finisher he is, when fully fit he is a superb striker. Good luck to him and if he can stay fit for Everton they've got a great player on their hands.

R.Nilsson7 · 29th August 2008, 17:25

Leg-end.

I remember his first game for us, against Southampton. He scored from a free-kick i think.
And that goal he scored against Fulham in the same season.

Xander45 · 29th August 2008, 17:27

The one at 2.39 i've been looking for all day. My favourite of his goals, and highlights the talent he does possess.

A horribly deflected free-kick, to be honest. Think it was going wide to begin with but this was before the dubious goal committee.

No, you don't. I don't think anyone is in doubt that Louis when fit is a truly, truly world class striker. If he was fit, and with our current squad it would have to be him partnering one of tevez/rooney.

Very sad to see him go to be honest given the potential that was there, but in the end his injury record's just not going to cut it for a team like united who are fighting on all fronts and need a proper squad player.

Could by all means shine for everton - for them his appearances could mean the difference between 5th and 8th spot or so - a club like everton can afford his absences better as they'll make up for when he is fit and firing.

Good luck, louis. Always been a class player.

Solius · 29th August 2008, 17:34

Well I knew he was a great finisher but I forgot how great due to rarely seeing him play these days, always remember that strike against Chelsea though, class goal.

UBERScholes · 29th August 2008, 17:39

Was big fan of Saha

Have to confess though I was always disappointted that his hair became far more sensible once he moved to United.

Xander45 · 29th August 2008, 17:41

Always seemed to do better when he had hair, when he shaved it off he got injured. Seeing his team photo this season, he's got the hair back. Might be a good sign for Everton.

UBERScholes · 29th August 2008, 17:46

He should dye it blonde too. Black guys with blonde hair aren't known for injury proneness. Plus you have to admit it looks pretty badass

olesmyhero · 29th August 2008, 17:47

His goal in the 06/07 season against Wigan away was top class. The way he trapped the ball with the tip of his boot, and knocked it in the back of the net was a joy to watch. Shame we didn't see more of those over the years.

Cisse? Or were you joking?

missed a lot of sitters, but made a lot of difficult shots

You sure about that

Djibril Cissé
Ibrahim Ba
Abel Xavier
Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man
Dennis Rodman

Hugely deflected one it was. If he could stay fit, it would've been a way better time for him at United..

jasonrh · 29th August 2008, 18:40

I've always liked him.

Dippersripper · 29th August 2008, 18:41

Sad news

Good bye Saha

Sylar · 29th August 2008, 18:50

He was a perfect partner for Rooney. You forget how good a partnership they were especially the beginning of two seasons ago.

Successful · 29th August 2008, 19:37

Many great goals from Saha really. I don't remember him being very injury prone at Fulham when he played in D1. Perhaps the most lepard-like player there's ever been.

Quite some cross from Richardsson at 3:45

a_devil_inside · 29th August 2008, 23:16

could have done with him tonight instead of Rooney

Yeah, and a lot of those sitters were during his so-called 'in form' period as well when he was scoring regularly.

lem8sh · 30th August 2008, 00:47

Gutted i am,loved the man

lesclaypool · 30th August 2008, 00:54

Unfortunate he couldn't stay fit for us. Was an excellent option to have

Take it easy Louis. Literally.

ALX8725 · 30th August 2008, 00:56

was always United quality when fit, it's a shame he was hardly ever fit...

Ace · 30th August 2008, 01:00

I wore his shirt today as a tribute. Definitely a great player who was unfortunate with injuries.

Name Changed · 30th August 2008, 12:29

I am normally sad when a player leaves, but not today. I never rated him.

The Hairdryer · 30th August 2008, 12:35

I'll shit in own man purse if he's passed a medical.

Won't happen.

101 · 30th August 2008, 13:32

He was the reason I began to don the number 9 on the back of my United shirts

Sonny1972 · 30th August 2008, 13:34

Should have sold him 2 years ago !!! Glad he is gone.

So we sold him for the grand total of... £0. Nice.

lynchie · 30th August 2008, 20:20

Good striker, rubbish when 1 on 1 with the keeper, would have pretty ideal if fit, meh.
