Yep you could see he was class, but difficult fitting him in and arguably better suited to Spain and Italy. Would've loved to see that 06-10 variant, though he would've been pretty old by then!
We got most of our money back in AdM and the impact of the armed robbery on him and his wife clearly unsettled him massively too. That and not really wanting to be here in the first place. Shame cos after that lob against Leicester, it briefly all looked rosy...albeit not even until the end of that game.
Exactly, but there is no denial that lots of bucks were paid for both and that would always be against them.
In any case, worst like I've said before, it's quite a stretch, I understand it more with Di Maria due to his declarations and his wife's big mouth.
I never got why Fergie wanted Veron even if he clearly enhaced the side on CLs, but still was another passer, launcher of the ball in a team full of them.
Louis clearly does not mix with such a classic south american wing (for the good and the bad) like Di Maria was and is. Did he ask for him?, it was always bizarre for me that he wanted him.
I remember once he stated that he wanted to coach Brazil or Argentina, it would more than probably end so bad in both cases with his looney and obssesive manners, mostly because in addition to that he is quite blunt like most Dutch coaches.
Great character nonetheless, entertainment galore with him and his AJAX was Outstanding, such a joy to see.
That didn't happen but maybe we should've tried!
