If Fergie had managed to sign him in the 2001/02 season, would he have been a hit at United you reckon?

Absolutely brilliant I think he would’ve made a difference, his goal at pittodrie one of best goals I’ve ever seen,

Can we make the old joke about him making sure the players train on time anyway?

I remember being a kid when those links were very frequent in the media. We made the move for Forlan instead as I remember.

I think he could have made the difference in Europe. He could have been the difference in getting past Leverkusen when we looked so blunted upfront in the semi final second leg.

Liked him as a player but didn’t want him. He even waved goodbye to the West Ham fans didn’t he?

Also batshit crazy manager.
