We got rid of a player at the right time. Pity we dont do it more often. Has done nothing since leaving United, but should have never been forced out
yeah right, sentimentality isnt always a good advisor. He also wanted to leave, looking for a starting place.What exactly has he achieved in his career since being "forced out" unfairly? If he taking a huge pay cut to join Sevilla because he was a huge success at West Ham?
Wasn't he Leverkeusen's player of the year?We got rid of a player at the right time. Pity we dont do it more often. Has done nothing since leaving United, but should have never been forced out
Dont know, but now that you say it, he had a very good first season at Leverkusen as the main striker. He was quite clearly fed up by being a sub here, same as Welbeck and wanted to move away if not getting more regular play time here. He would have been useful as a sub for a few years here, but ultimately, he wanted more. Besides that one great season, his record was pretty average since leaving and i dont know why people keep on insisting that we should have kept an unhappy player.
He was decent, but not as good as previously. Maybe he had an out of norm season and then went back to his normal level. Leverkusen were in general pretty rubbish that year as well. They sold him for a small profit to West Ham, where he probably was on higher wages.
Simple. You keep him happy
We shouldn't but we should look at why he was unhappy? He was not being played despite having played well previously and what has our record with strikers been like since? I don't think a single one has had a better record than him if you look at minutes to goal.
The exact type of player to score the ugly goals that Ole is asking the team to do.
Reckon him and his agent got into a mix up at Asda
He scored a one on one against Chelsea from a bit of distance, not sure if it was outside the box though.
I think i remember that he never scored from outside of the box, and then on his madrid debut he scored from outside the box
Where's he been hiding this?!
When has any team?
Bit like RvN too then.
This is quite a wrong assumption tbh. It all depends on team movement and dynamics. Jardel was a zero trick pony: couldn't dribble, barely ran, average passing and first touch, etc, but he would score for fun, even at Champions League (before drugs and alcohol ruined him, of course).
This is true, though not entirely. He had never scored outside the box here with United, but he had done so with Chivas in Mexico.
Oh yes, I should have stated that I meant whilst he was playing for Manchester United
Qarabag is a club that gets funding from both private corps and state. They were paying 550K year salaries to second tier players, so I guess Begovic is there with a massive wage without needing to go as far as China.
And one for Mexico against Ecuador, but never scored outside the box playing in the EPL. I remember him taking a free kick for West Ham United at least once though, so he might be practicing them.
He absolutely is worse than Lukaku. I love chicarito but come on!
I disagree - he's always had a better goals to minute ratio and let's be honest... That's the almost sole facet of both of their games.
