All time goal scorer. If anyone deserves a statue, plaque or whatever then whoever beat Charltons record should have a commeration.
Not sure about that, I mean they can always be taken down if the former player does something unacceptable or is disgraced in someway (if that’s what you mean?)Statues and other long-lasting things like that shouldn't be given immediately, except I guess for a manager like Fergie. I would say 15-20 years should pass before those decisions are made for players.
Probably 5 players who deserve it more than Law and Best as wellProbably about 5 players that deserve a statue more than Rooney so No
He is more than that. Since when highest scorer means you get a statue? Statue means legend status, not record breaker.Because giggs is not the all time top scorer?
Best was violent towards multiple women, but he still got a statue. Giggs should get one, but the club will wait long enough for his adultery to be nothing more than a footnote.No he shouldn't, he is a legend though no doubt.
Giggs shouldn't get one either, he ruined it for himself having an affair with his brother's wife for all those years.
If Ole pulls in a title this year and then a few more big trophies beyond that then he should have one further down the line. The man lives and breathes for the club.
Exactly I fully agree and those were names just quickly off the top of my head which didn’t include Nobby Stiles or Duncan Edwards or as you’ve said Jimmy Murphy so there’s simply too many and that right to a statue should be reserved for THE VERY biggest of our legends that have played for the club.We've had so many great players, like those you've mentioned, but simply dont have the room for statues of them all lol! And if anybody deserves a statue at Old Trafford it is the Legendary Jimmy Murphy, the man who was Matt Busbys right hand man throughout his spell as manager and who brought United back from the brink of extinction after Munich and took them to the 1958 FA Cup Final. Murphy is as big a legend as Busby, Law, Best and Charlton and without him there would have been no Busby Babes and the United of today would be very, very different.
You're not a proper fan either, then.No, a statue is for proper legends. He was never one for me.
Honestly, feck you. Who made you high commissioner of top reddism?You're not a proper fan either, then.
Ah, it hurts, doesn't it?Honestly, feck you. Who made you high commissioner of top reddism?
To this day that moment is one of my favorite moments of the Ferguson era. I’d call it a chip and not a lob, but either way it was a glorious goal in a fantastic match, capped off by a superbly humble goal celebration that expressed awe at not just the goal, but everything that led up to that moment on a night that was unforgettable for so many reasons. It was truly, history made.Rooney, Ronaldo, and O'Shea, from the 2007 side. O'Shea's statue should have the expression he had after lobbing Almunia, as if to say, what the feck am I doing here
What hurt is my brain from reading some idiocy from some 14-year-old edgelord who thinks he can pass judgement but can't even pass a basic math exam.Ah, it hurts, doesn't it?
I really got under your skin. Doesn't change the fact that Rooney is one of the biggest legends of Manchester United, the undisputed top goalscorer of the club and also the same for his national team.What hurt is my brain from reading some idiocy from some 14-year-old edgelord who thinks he can pass judgement but can't even pass a basic math exam.
We should definitely have a giant inflatable LVGStatues are overrated anyway. We can have statues of all the '99 treble winning side and the '08 double winning side and still have room for a giant inflatable LvG figure.
To name a stand after someone, now that's something.
I dont understand what’s wrong with “well past”?Ungrateful United fans. Rooney deserves a statue. He is the face of United in the 2000s era. Class of 92 could have got a statue but we are well past that. If Rooney doesn't get a statue within the next 5 years then we will be well past him also.
But he should get a statue for his service.
He was right. You definitely can't countI really got under your skin. Doesn't change the fact that Rooney is one of the biggest legends of Manchester United, the undisputed top goalscorer of the club and also the same for his national team.
You swearing at me for 2 continuous posts doesn't do anything good for your case, either.
All of them deserve a statue except Ronaldo. Can't give a statue to someone who left us at his peak and is remembered more for his Real Madrid days.Best was violent towards multiple women, but he still got a statue. Giggs should get one, but the club will wait long enough for his adultery to be nothing more than a footnote.
I'd rank the most deserving as:
Giggs
Cantona
Keane/Scholes
Rooney/Ronaldo
All 6 could even be paired up. Giggs/Cantona in the mid-90s Sharp Viewcam era, Keane/Scholes '99, Rooney/Ronaldo '08.
I struggle to tie my shoes as well, but at least my use of the English language is mostly correct and appropriate, without it even being my first language.He was right. You definitely can't count
That was 2005 wasn't it? The Highbury game where Keane made Vieira shit his pants in the tunnel. Giggs, Scholes and Keane should be added too.Rooney, Ronaldo, and O'Shea, from the 2007 side. O'Shea's statue should have the expression he had after lobbing Almunia, as if to say, what the feck am I doing here
He's not that fatThere’d be no room left for a Rooney statue after all those more deserving have had theirs built.
Yep, it would be very small time to have a statue of Ronaldo. Great player for us, but he ultimately wanted to jump ship at the first opportunity.All of them deserve a statue except Ronaldo. Can't give a statue to someone who left us at his peak and is remembered more for his Real Madrid days.
Wouldn't mind that: Line up the Ronaldo statue facing a statue of Phil Jones wearing his signature Phil Jones face and call it "The Woodward era: a monument to wasting cash" - that'd be art.That infamous Ronaldo statue kinda looks like Rooney, matbe you can nick it.
