Statue for Giggs and Rooney outside Old Trafford?

[Nikelesh Reddy]

All the recent talk about City building a statue of David Silva outside the etihad(and Paul ince‘s stupid remarks about Henry and Bergkamp!),got me thinking about which players of the SAF era deserve a statue to be erected outside Oldtrafford.I greatly admire and respect Cantona and Ronaldo,but they didn’t play long enough for the club to deserve a statue outside OT.If you take those 2 out of the debate,then frankly,there are only 3 players who probably deserve to be given this special honour-Giggs,Scholes and Rooney.

Personally I would be in favour of the club building a statue of Giggsey and Rooney outside OT.As much as I love Scholsey,he doesn’t really have any unprecedented/record breaking acheivements in terms of trophies or goals.Giggsey is the most decorated player to have ever played for the club and Rooney is our record goal scorer....Personally I would want statues of these two to be erected outside OT.Do you guys agree?

Rooney will never get one because of his transfer requests etc.

Next statue (if there is one) will be Class of 92 I think.

 

[clarkydaz]

Cantona is the first statue i give. There is a reason his name is sung every year

 

[R.N7]

Would you recginze them in silhouette? Cause you should only build statues of people you can regognize in silhouette. This is well known fact.

 

[iHicksy]

I'd like Giggs, Rooney, Rio. Although I can't really make a case for why Rio other than I love the guy.

 

[P-Ro]

Next statue will be for Sancho.

 

[harms]

We should do a Last Supper bas-relief with Cantona and 12 apostles (the list is up for debate).

 

[arthurka]

Cantona... The other would be class'92

 

[RedRonaldo]

Cantona

 

[Havak]

A Cantona statue would be class.

However, I think a Class of 92 would be the better choice. The thing is do you leave out Butt & Phil Neville? And then do you leave out Beckham too? Not sure.

Also, I think what I'd like to see done for some players are more like bronze prints so to speak. Like a plaque. This would make more sense for some club legends & partnerships such as Rio/Vidic, maybe Schmeichel/Van der Sar/de Gea all on one... Yorke/Cole (possibly +Solskajer/Teddy).

These would be nice in particular for the 99 & 08 teams as well. I don't think I'd want us to go crazy with statues as I think they need to be extra special.

Edit: Realistically there should probably be one of Sir Alex though.

Erm, there is.

 

[Morpheus 7]

Cantona

 

[Andy_Cole]

I think Scholes, Giggs and G.Nev.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Our all-time top goalscorer should certainly get one. Don't you think @Pexbo?

 

[Kostov]

Rooney will never get one because of his transfer requests etc.

That would be so stupid of the club. What is etc?

Rooney absolutely deserves one.

 

[Feed Me]

Prunier

 

[Pexbo]

Nah

 

[E-mal]

Giggs will be well deserved , other than that no one else.

 

[horsechoker]

How many statues is too many?

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Riiight, I also think we should rename Old Trafford to Oldtrafford.
Much better name.

 

[Tom Cato]

Class of 92,- joint statue, or King Eric for me. Probably Cantona.

 

[redflash]

Statue id like to see is one dedicated to the academy. Create a pose akin to the one adopted by CO92 for that famous picture but include some of most famous academy graduates through the ages. Put it all on a large platform and then on all the sides carve the names of players from the academy who represented the first team.

#oldtrafford

 

[MikeUpNorth]

Trio of Cantona, Giggs, and Scholes.

 

[Havak]

Erm, there is.

How the feck did I forget about that?

 

[Shane88]

I don't care if it's his personal life, Giggs is and always will be lower than dirt to me after that shit with his brother.

Cantona and/or Scholes would be cool.

 

[Thiagoal]

Cantona- collar up! In fact the exact pose after scoring THAT goal against Sunderland!

 

[RUCK4444]

That would be so stupid of the club. What is etc?

Rooney absolutely deserves one.

Yup. Leading goalscorer for the club, incredible career that’s better than the likes of Gerrard at Liverpool as an example, imo.

He won everything here.

 

[POF]

Next one should be Ole after he wins the treble as player and manager.

 

[Kostov]

Yeah but once he questioned that Cleverley and Anderson are not good enough, let's lynch the guy foe eternity.

 

[JPRouve]

No one should have one outside of Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson.

 

[manuchamp88]

2 separate groups of statues:
- 1 for the class of '92
- 1 for Ronaldo and Rooney

 

[klsv]

Two for Djemba-Djemba.

 

[El Zoido]

What was so wrong with Ince’s remarks about Henry and Bergkamp? He’s right. One of the few things I agree with him on.

 

[GiddyUp]

If we were ever to spruce up OT we could put statues of all our great (not so great)players on pedestals around the stands, Greek/Roman style.
This was a piss take but thinking about it maybe it would be pretty cool. Pray at the shrine of Cleverley for abilities out of your reach. Leave offerings at the feet of Rooney if you are suffering hair loss or kiss the toe of Giggs for good luck in your love life.

 

[FizzyWomack]

I don't care if it's his personal life, Giggs is and always will be lower than dirt to me after that shit with his brother.

Cantona and/or Scholes would be cool.

The blasphemy! Nobody is perfect, but Giggs was seeing that woman before his brother had even met her. Granted,he shouldn't have carried on the affair behind his brothers back but everybody makes mistakes and love makes us do silly things.

How can a real Manchester United fan say Giggs is lower than dirt after everything he did for this club.

 

[devilish]

John OShea, Paddy Mcnair and Philip Neville. The people's trinity.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

2 separate groups of statues:
- 1 for the class of '92
- 1 for Ronaldo and Rooney

Why would you give Ronaldo one?

 

[Remember the geese]

Keane doesn't appear to have been mentioned. I think he is worthy.

 

[0le]

A statue for Eric Harrison to represent the class of 92 as well as the influences of all other coaches who have contributed to the success of United over the years.
