he ain't a 'striker'

He has missed a lot of chances if you add them all up in the numerous games he has played so far.

Numerous games...Yes, he has played numerous games for us ...

Well, maybe you should calm down, relax and give the boy a little more time to settle in. This was his FIRST European debut. He's ONLY 22 after all and I trust SAF when he says that Diego has a lot of potential. Slagging him off is definitely NOT going to get him any goals. Just try to have a little more patience. I'm sure he will proof you wrong. <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />

Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, even Laurent Blanc can score...

You have a point. We haven't scored too many goals lately.

Forlan for Yorke I can accept...but we need a new Andy Cole to back up Nistelrooy.
We need to sign a new strong striker...

And thats what will happen, an what would have happened. Where were you when the whole Di Canio thing was going on? that only broke down coz of Yorke otherwise we'd have had your another player

This is a bit silly! Goalscoring is such a specialized part of the game that special 'rules' apply to it. There is absolutely no way in hell you (or anybody else) would be able to make a credible judgement as to Diego's abilities as a United goalscorer at this stage. All sorts of psychological factors come into play - and Forlan is quite clearly still adapting to what must be a huge change for him in all respect. He's keen and skilful; he's got a good record in the Apertura (which isn't an easy league); and he will most likely come good for United IMO.
You can start making these types of judgements in a year's time - not now. What we CAN say as this stage is that he's got pace, vision, skill and a very good attitude. Not a bad platform...

He is what he is...a very bright and lively forward.
Forlan is not an Andy Cole.</strong><hr></blockquote>
You mean to be able to score goals you've gotta have a certain 'look'? Who would have bet that Ruud would settle down so quickly and score goals by the dozens for us? Does Ruud have the 'look'? How can you judge a player in two pathetic games?

Did you see Cole's first season at OT? He constantly missed sitters, including a rather important one at West Ham. Cole had come from Newcastle as an established Premiership goal scorer.
Nistelroy is a better player than Cole, and Soljkjear has seasons of being a consistent goal scorer. When disco is finally got rid of (as for him being in Fergie's plans, I don't think so), we will have another young striker brought in and have our strongest strike force for some time.
Forlan shows good movement and has scored plenty of goals in Argentina. He will do so here soon.
