Juan Sebastian Veron. Alas.
Out of al the greats, the signing that excited you the most was forlan? Over Rooney? Haha no chance
I was really excited about Park. For the wrong reasons. I thought he was gonna score loads of goals for us. He was as good as I thought he'd be but very much not in the way I was imagining.Ji Sung Park!!! I know! But when we were getting schooled by Milan, he was schooling them!
I was really excited when we signed Stam, Veron and Ruud. Rooney was pretty goosebumpy too!Lots to choose from, but for me it would be re-signing Mark Hughes. What an incredible footballer he was, a brilliant target man and hard as nails. Had it all really.
just been watching some classic matches from1990-91 and reminiscing. What a collection of players that was right through the spine Schmeichel - Pallister - Robson - Hughes
Sure but I don't think he was as established as in reputation or consistency as Veron. Pogba was a clearly brilliant if inconsistent player whereas Veron was the best midfielder in a very strong Serie A.Huh? Pogba was a world class star by 2017. He was fully established in the Juve and France squads.
Yep .... Thought he was going to be an amazing offensive dribbler on the wing (as he was in PSV), reinvented himself somewhatI was really excited about Park. For the wrong reasons. I thought he was gonna score loads of goals for us. He was as good as I thought he'd be but very much not in the way I was imagining.
So if we’d signed Messi you’d still of been more excited with forlan because messi would obviously be good ?"Which United signing excited you the most before they played?"
Yeah, for me it was Forlan, based on the brief highlight reel on TV, saw those goals and thought that this guy is going to be the sh!t. Sadly, he wasn't.
Rooney wasn't an unknown quantity, i didn't get excited about him, it was a protracted transfer, knew about him since he was 14, seen what he could do at Everton, knew he would continue on and he didn't disappoint.
Stam and Ruud were very exciting too but i was choosing one which a lot of people seem to not understand as usualI was really excited when we signed Stam, Veron and Ruud. Rooney was pretty goosebumpy too!
So if we’d signed Messi you’d still of been more excited with forlan because messi would obviously be good ?
I know it’s just an opinion but some of these are just nostalgia surly, find it tough to believe, more curious yes, more excited absolutely not
forlan also scored some important goals for us I wouldn’t say he was shit
Andy Cole. It came out of the blue and I couldn’t wait for him to play. It seemed an age before he got his first goal.
He signed for Leeds in mid Febuary and played only 3 months of the the title wining season for Leeds. Scored 9 goals.He played more than 3 months for leeds. He was part if their league winning team and I wouldn't say he was unproven as he was probably the best player in the league when we signed him.
But yeah it was definitely a shock for sure.
No way depay excited you the most? Rooney? CR7? RVP?
