Bring back Ruud

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Justified or not, it isn't a trait you want in a squad player and I can't see him as anything but a squad player for us at this point in his career considering his recent injury history.
I do think he was justified in being pissed off but I'd probably go along with the rest of your post
If Macheda was good enough to be playing a part in every game now he would be, he clearly isn't. Playing him in every game for the next couple of years is no gurantee he will be good enough to be a United striker either.
Ruud took his chances. He lived in that 6 yard box.
Was my favourite player when he was here.
Would love him back if he wants to though.

Would have him back instead of Owen, not alongside Owen. So no, I don't think it will happen, and I don't think it should happen either.
Good point
Good point.
If only that spastic could stay fit
I don't think that offering a short term deal to Saha (till the end of the season) would be a bad idea. First of all we all know that he is an excellent striker. Secondly you wont find many decent strikers available in January. If he does well then he will attract bigger clubs + he will end up with another medal or two. If he gets injured then can still rely on the current crop to bail us out.
Why would Everton ever agree to that?
Saha's legs would crumble at the thought of playing for us again.
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has ruled out a swoop for Ruud van Nistelrooy and believes he could sign for Arsenal.
Van Nistelrooy is being linked with a move away from Real Madrid during the transfer window and Tottenham have been strongly linked with a move for him.
However, Redknapp says he has enough strikers on his books and signing the Dutchman would only give him a bigger headache.
Redknapp instead believes the player could end up at Arsenal as the Gunners step up their attempts to find a replacement for the injured Robin van Persie.
"He's a top player," Redknapp revealed. "If he's anywhere near fit, I'm sure he can still play for a while, but I've never enquired for him. He would come over here and score - he always has done.
"I can see him going somewhere like Arsenal. Tottenham is a big club. We shouldn't be afraid to compete with these clubs in the transfer market, but what would I do?
"I have Crouch, Keane and Defoe and Pav. If I got Van Nistelrooy, I give myself another problem."

What do you mean "if"?
Two chances !!! Fergie said as much. What was it, 3 transfer requests? No thanks.
Now that would be a turn up for the books. Is Redknapp taking the piss or what? Wenger would rather drag John Radford off his zimmer frame than sign Ruud.
He's done well for Everton, less injuries
Well his problem was his mentality anyway. He always had some strange psychological thing going on when he played for us and always to get injured again or something like that.
He mentioned it in an interview not long ago...
It has gone now that he plays for Everton
Granted my source is non-sense (redcafe.net) but Im sure I read he has 20 goals in 27 starts for them. Surely thats not true.
He does as far as I'm aware.
27 starts out of 65 games or whatever they've played in that period is still relatively few.
This isn't the Matrix, you don't get injuries because you think you are going to.
Wow, a defeat really drags them out of the woodwork.
No chance.
When did he say this? Link please.
RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD Van Nistlerooy
Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la
Sorry Boothy but its na na na na, he wont be coming back
Wont happen im afraid.
Sir Alex doesnt usually bring back players who have left the club. Van Nistelrooy was perfect for us during his years here but the team has moved on somewhat. We play a slightly different style and are more fluid in our attack. Cant see us having both Owen and Van Nistlerooy here.

What a myth. We won the league because of our amazing defensive record. Nothing to do with our attack.
Saha is going to Liverpool and Ruud is going to Arse according to rumor mill. Everton would probably sell to the scum because they need the money. Ruud would do well here but if i remember correctly his bust up with Ronaldo pretty much meant he was going. I think he could score a lot of goals with this Utd team as we really need a sniper from close in. IMO
Yep, just keeping a clean sheet every game won us the league.dont want him, does no one remember his attitude in his last year?
people claim not to want ronaldo back for a much better attitude

it would really hurt to see him at anfield... but hang on... owen plays for us right...
I didn't want Owen to come us and I wasn't happy about it.
And I don't want Ruud to go to Liverpool. Firstly, because I don't like to see any former or current United player in the Liverpool shirt. Secondly, because he's still one of my favourite players and I couldn't respect him anymore if he went to Anfield.
So fingers crossed he's going nowhere.
van nistelrooy was one of my favourite players and i was very sad to see him go - but it's nothing to how i felt when ronaldo left.
i'd give anything to see ronnie in a united shirt again - ruud, not so much

No we did it with 1-0 wins. Keep up.
I'd have to burn a few old united shirts.
You'd probably also have to change your nick.
