Really... sell Wellbeck?Let's face it lads.. He is doing a Rossi and is going to be world class. Should have sold Welbeck and kept him.
White text. I really am happy for him though. I like to see players leave and have good careers.
Whooooooooooooosh.Really... sell Wellbeck?
Maybe Berba last summer, but Wellbeck... what are you smoking???
Then again that would have left us with 2 experienced strikers at the start of the season... 1 of whom had played 1/2 a season as regular starter... and of course perma-crock Owen.
Whooooooooooooosh.

+ RonaldoHow much did we sold him for by the way?
I remember Rossi and Forlan was let go off for peanuts. Even Ruud
The reason a lot of those players were let go for so little was to thank them for their good service to us and to allow them a move that will be beneficial to their careers.Considering the prices paid from player like Ryan Babel and Aquilani, I'd think that any player that could play at United and play with the first team and win would be worth at least 10 mil. If we got that for Ruud, Rossi, Forlan, O'Shea, Gibson, Tim Howard and Diouf it would have been as much money as we got for Ronaldo.
Of course we got something for all those players, and we can't all sell our players to Rafa Benitez. But it's a shame our players aren't more in demand.
Given we will have neither for next year I reckon, so for the rest of the year where experience off the bench in a high pressure situation counts I would go for Owen.Always said I'd have rather kept him just because he's different to anything else we have.
Who would you rather have? Diouf or Owen?

In all probability, we'd likely be rid of both after the season. It made sense to cash in on Diouf since someone would actually give us money for him, unlike Owen.Always said I'd have rather kept him just because he's different to anything else we have.

His performance in that league cup game was the worst I have ever seen from a United player. He was a disgrace to the shirt. Good riddance.I'm slightly annoyed that we let him go.
9 in 13 for Hannover.. an absolute steal.
Not sure how he wouldve fit in, but he never got a chance.
What a lot of rubbish.His performance in that league cup game was the worst I have ever seen from a United player. He was a disgrace to the shirt. Good riddance.
Yep some strikers are just strikers.SAF needs to stop dicking around and playing Strikers on the Wing
That's harsh.His performance in that league cup game was the worst I have ever seen from a United player. He was a disgrace to the shirt. Good riddance.

Agreed. Imagined if he tried that with Ole. He would have been blasted by all the fans.SAF needs to stop dicking around and playing Strikers on the Wing, I never thought Diouf was that bad because he had a great record for the reserves, happy he's doing well, never worked out for him here. He had a decent start looked pretty decent on loan too but unfortunately for him Hernandez burst on to the scene and Welbeck started fulfilling his vast potential, that's life though. Hope he continues his great start.
I think it's a symptom of the modern game; Players should be able play in multiple positions now, to give the manager more options tactically.Agreed. Imagined if he tried that with Ole. He would have been blasted by all the fans.
Fergie has gotten odd with his moving players around like that. Smith is the worst example. I suppose you can say Scholes was the best albeit I heard Fergie wanted to get rid of him as a youth.
I think Hernandez could be utilised as a high-sitting wing forward who doesn't track back if need be.Well, Hernandez can only play one and we didn't mess around with him, never tried to play him on the wing or in the hole because it'd clearly not work. Rooney has been played everywhere, Welbeck has been used as a winger and we even tried him in midfield once if I remember correctly so you're probably right. Jones is a perfect example, one year at a club - three different positions.
agreed. Imagined if he tried that with ole. He would have been blasted by all the fans.
