Radio silence on the Bebe front. Any word on his recovery ?
Better scoring rate than Torres and Carroll to be fairI for one believe the name Bebe and everything to do with him should be removed from our history.
Let’s just pretend he never happened.
I pretty much never criticise Fergie. And when we signed him I was in denial and tried to even see potential when he made his debut.
But we signed a pub footballer….for £7million
He should be stricken from the records.
Yes, the old one is very long and full of historigraphical nonsense.dunno, but do we need a new thread on this lad?
As a professional footballer?He could still make it IMO. He's got the ability, he's just very raw. Alec has high hopes for him, he will turn him into a star.
I'd say that's harsh. We don't know what he's capable of yet. This was to be his developmental year before the injury.Worst signing in the Premier League era.
If he even comes close to scratching the surface of whats required to be a regular United player, he'd have to develop at a rate of fairly incredible proportions.I'd say that's harsh. We don't know what he's capable of yet. This was to be his developmental year before the injury.
We don't know why he was loaned out. It could've been to develop him and bring him back for another run with the first team. It could also have been to get rid of him for the time being with a view towards a permanent move elsewhere. Given that we don't know, I'd say its premature to make any judgements on his abilities given how little time he's had with us and the injury as well.If he even comes close to scratching the surface of whats required to be a regular United player, he'd have to develop at a rate of fairly incredible proportions.
I expect him to come back from injury, hit a few children with his crosses and then leave. We'll never get anything close to the fee of what we paid for him and i'd be absolutely amazed if he remained in the Premier League.
Quite easily the worst signing in the Premier League in my eyes; at least Ali Dia was free.
This number goes up and down as appropriate. Last week it was £10m when people were talking about our midfield against theirs. Now it's £8m. I also vaguely remember Cabaye alone costing "just under £10m" when we were talking about summer signings. Jus' sayin'.£7m. Newcastle paid £8m for their central midfield duo of Cabaye and Tiote.
Sack Bebe, sign Graham Carr.

Yep because there is no dubious goal panel for the Carling Cup or ECL, fairly certain both was own goals.Indeed, that whole playing football malarkey seems to be beyond him
At least 2 of his goals had more than a bit of luck too. How many goals in total did he have....2?
The club would never gamble that sort of money on a player who SAF had not watched - not even once!. No way. The first reason you brought up is the most plausible.It's either a deliberate dodgy transfer the club had to make for some unknown reason (agent related, some say) or it's a monumental feck up and the scout responsible should be fired, from a cannon, into the sun.
It's staggering how many people have written him off. 7 appearances for United (how many as a sub?) and he was obviously low on confidence. I could show 7 appearances in a row of Rooney playing shite, it's just too few to judge.
Shame about the injury, it's certainly made any chance he had much smaller.
Most sources stated there was an option for Besiktas to make the loan permanent, for c.£3m if I recall. It kind of suggests that everyone has realised it was a monumental error of judgement.I'd say that's harsh. We don't know what he's capable of yet.

According to Sabah, head of the camp season, after breaking of the knee in February....team work and the striker is expected to play the second half, the last 10 weeks.

That has been denied, and your point is rendered mootMost sources stated there was an option for Besiktas to make the loan permanent, for c.£3m if I recall. It kind of suggests that everyone has realised it was a monumental error of judgement.
Scouse logic there.It's a lot easier to pretend that we got him on a free and signed Chicharito for approximately £14m.
Agreed. I sometimes wonder about those other two signings, Tomsich and the other player, forgot his name. maybe connected to the Vidic signing. Definitely dodgyIt's either a deliberate dodgy transfer the club had to make for some unknown reason (agent related, some say) or it's a monumental feck up and the scout responsible should be fired, from a cannon, into the sun.
