Kompany Testimonial

The holy trinity were the first players to win the European cup for Manchester United and all three were European player of the year.
You missed the point. It wasn't to slight the holy trinity, only to say that the poster's criteria is ridiculous.
Fair enough. Carry on.
If RvP would ve gone without injuries longer he likely would've been a contender for top 10 or top 25 players of all time. What ball control, shot power, vision and positioning the man had/still has. 
The guy was exactly what they needed. Someone who was at the club before the mercs started coming in, with the capacities to be their leader and talented enough (which the likes of Hart and Richards weren't) to keep up with the very best of them when they finally gelled. And it helps that he married a Mancunian.
The irony: he ended up at City ... because he was so injury prone. Was enormously hyped when he was 17 but injuries held him back. He missed like 2 full seasons out of his first 5 as a pro. Was always destined for the top teams very early on not a mid table PL club.

All 3 were amazing players and deserving of their accolades and statue, but you wouldn't belittle their status because they've won less than Valencia right?
Nope not at all.
I didn't belittle Kompany's either.
Can we sign rvp til end of season?
This is correct.
So nostalgic to see all the former players on the pitch. Miss the good old PL days. Even Benjani's celebration was a blast from the past.
Niall Quinn is also a legend for me... was a tough player.
My arse it was fluked.
Dammit Robin, should've added one more year to your career. God knows our team could use your striking abilities so far this season.
RVP wore United shin pads
Just seen that. <3 once a red always a red.RVP wore United shin pads
He was relaxed doing it. 100% on purpose indeed

That pass from Scholes was unreal.
