What was all that about? And why didn't he turn out to be the new Henry? And don't get me started on Djemba Djemba.
Another legend, when he came we knew we're not alone on Earth.Took me a while there to realise the thread is not about Obertan.
Won the league with Bordeaux has a bit part playerHe was truly awful for us
Not his fault though, don't think he did anything of note when he left either

We had Ruud & Forlan. Ole didn't play much that season, SAF wanted another striker just for sake of numbers. That's the only excuse I can think of... and he still signed Saha right after that.Seriously though what was all that about? Why did we buy him?
My names Sam Tyler and I have woken up in 1973What was all that about? And why didn't he turn out to be the new Henry? And don't get me started on Djemba Djemba.
That's right, he wasn't even a regular starter at Sunderland before we signed him.Sunderland reserve player. Who could have predicted it wouldn’t work out…
There was already plenty of talk of cocks out in the Sancho thread.Can someone start a Dong thread
I remember him coming on against Blackburn (I think), and my dad saying, with more certainty I’ve ever heard from him before or since: “that’s your new Ronaldo”Took me a while there to realise the thread is not about Obertan.
The only thing I remember him doing in a United shirt is setting up Welbeck’s debut goal.Was Manucho already mentioned here?
It was also the summer of Dong and Tim Howard.Bellion, Djemba-Djemba, Kleberson
What a transfer bonaza of a summer 2003 was.
Great signings.It was also the summer of Dong and Tim Howard.
.. And Cristiano Ronaldo.
He was at the end of his time at United. Fergie said in his book that Ruud phoned him up years ago to apologize for his behaviour.I remember hearing story about Ruud absolutely destroying him in training calling him shite and what not.
In fact Ruud sounded like he was a bit of a bellend in truth.
Yeah I've read that, to be fair to Ruud he unfortunately came to us during one of our transition periods and you could see the frustration in him during matches.He was at the end of his time at United. Fergie said in his book that Ruud phoned him up years ago to apologize for his behaviour.
I think we were all hopeful! A couple of stepovers and he had us fooledI remember him coming on against Blackburn (I think), and my dad saying, with more certainty I’ve ever heard from him before or since: “that’s your new Ronaldo”
