He set the bar so high during his time at our club all our other strikers look cut below his level till date.
The gods are punishing you with Jansen and Depay for your lack of gratitude.Think Ruud is more appreciated outside of Holland. Most people here agree he's a great goal scorer, but see him as nothing more than a poacher. Underrated here imho.
Though in Holland we also think RVP is an overrated bottler even though he's our all time top scorer. We're an ungrateful lot
They do and rightly soThe gods are punishing you with Jansen and Depay for your lack of gratitude.
I agree with this and the content of this thread completely.Mata really does need to hit the gym. My three year old son looks stronger than him.
That is why I just deleted it.I agree with this and the content of this thread completely.
makes finishing look so cool
It was a sad way to watch him leave as he still had a few years of top football in him. Would've been better to keep him than say...lease Tevez for two years.As a Dutch person i started to follow English football and became a United fan becauae of him.
Hated the way he left though
alongside Becks he was the main face of United for a few years (2001-2004 i reckon), before Rooney and Ronaldo took over the mantle.I think he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. I am talking from a pure icon/legend status. He was at one time the face of Man United or am I just fantasizing the past too much?
Think there was an interview somewhere where he said at first he thought they were boo-ing him.What I really miss is the supporters chant in the stadium when he scored
"Ruuuuuuuuuud"
It felt so cold & clinical just like his finishing whilst sounding like you were "boo-ing" the rivals team off the pitch.
Would you say Morata's goal against Stoke was similar to the Fulham one, especially the finish? Ruud's was better but watching Morata there immediately reminded me of it.Looking back at some of the goals, his run against Fulham was really out of this world. Very rare to see something like that these days. His run towards Arsenal's goal (blue kit) was also spectacular.
I'd say Morata's goal yesterday was a hybrid of Ruud's goal against Fulham and Ruud's away goal v Arsenal (blue kit). See for yourself.Would you say Morata's goal against Stoke was similar to the Fulham one, especially the finish? Ruud's was better but watching Morata there immediately reminded me of it.
That's it! But yes, Ruud's finishing move vs Fulham is a cut above. Economical in movement, effective yet classyI'd say Morata's goal yesterday was a hybrid of Ruud's goal against Fulham and Ruud's away goal v Arsenal (blue kit). See for yourself.
Peak RvP came damn close.He set the bar so high during his time at our club all our other strikers look cut below his level till date.
I think then Carlos told him to show some respect and Ruud said that he does not respect anyone at the club. This is where the whole thing went pear shaped and Fergie got rid of him. It was the right decision at the right time too.The Ronaldo story has been floated around a lot. I forgot whose book it was either Sir Alex's or Gary Neville's, but basically the story was Carlos Queiroz was extremely protective of Ronaldo and it rubbed some of the players the wrong way. One day there was a dispute in training between Ronaldo and Ruud and Ruud told him "go run and tell your daddy". Everyone acknowledges that he meant Carlos Queiroz, but still it was poor timing considering.
Same here. He was on top of his game when I was really getting into football and Man Utd. He was the only player I talked about, while furiously arguing with Arsenal fans that Ruud > Henry (which is not true unfortunately )My favourite United player ever, I think.
