Why is it that Liverpool got him with no media attention at all?

If it were us it would have been all over the papers wouldn't it?

28 = over the hill?

He's free and will just be a squad player.

Hardly a waste.

Yeh my mistake...I remember hearing one or two things but doesn't it seem with United, its in the papers every day with the transfer fee being talked about and changed every second.

Odd choice for Rafa though, with Zenden being Dutch. Maybe his grandparents were spanish or something. :)

like GB said, he was boro player of the year and has really turned good since his move from chelsea.

he's a dutch international, signed on a free transfer as the player of the year on a quite decent boro team. he'll be a good squad player. im personally not overly excited about his arrival, but surely he'll be a better option in midfield with an aging hamann, and diao and biscan gone.

He is proven in the Premiership, was Boro's player of the year and at 28 years old and on a FREE we can't really go wrong. Rafa Benitex said he wants to sign top players and some decent squad players.

Liverpool have sold Cheyrou, Diouf, Patridge, Diao, Biscan, Smicer etc, and will sell more then bring in players that are better squad players and also get some top class in. It is a massive job and Zenden is a decent start.

No worse or better signing than say Van Der Saar and unlike Sung is proven in the PL and cost nothing.

Damn, If only we'd got him first

I don't get it the piss taking?

Nobody is saying he'll pull up any trees, he's going to be a squad player and we need to boost our squad. He was free, International and will do a job. Not all signings have to be 5 million plus. Also he's got some Premiership nouse under his belt, something we've needed at times and he can do no worse than Nunez.

Uniteds signings so far don't exactly put the fear of god in me either, nor will they do to Chelsea or Arsenal.

Good buy. I'd take him over Park, if I had to choose.

Just because he's proven in the Prem. Moving away from Chelsea has done him some good.

Still, rather weird that Benitez hasn't signed any Spaniards - yet. ;)

He's the world's best player now that he's signed for Pool.

Well said once again ehsanul. I just wish they could have signed the world class Park for £4million instead of Zenden for free.
Park will be a bigger hit than Zenden. :devil:

I have it on good authority that he is pretty useful with his fists, being a black belt in something or other and like a lot of the Dutch, doesn't take a lot of shit. Should be useful when they're playing the Arse, then?

True.

But then you Mancs were ecstatic when you signed Fulham's goalkeeper so.........

;)
Any keeper is a improvement over Carroll so of course we were pleased.
