Missed him last season.
We would have seen some great attacking football and an exciting season leading to United winning the league, getting to the F.A Cup final and CL Semi Final whilst doing it all playing the right way and a joy to watch. It would have been like the good old days where the team shows character and bounces back in games. But instead, without Ruud, we got.......what? |

Why is it in his last two seasons our best football came with him out of the team?? |

It was a coincidence. Nothing more. You're not telling me that Ruud Van Nistelrooy isn't a better player than Saha or Larsson?? We'll never know of course, but with Ronaldo finally sorting his game out & the likes of Scholes, Rooney & Carrick in the side I think we still would have won the League last season with Ruud up front. |

But people make him out to be the single reason why we didn't the league for (shock horror) those few seasons. I don't remember the fact that he may/may not have stifled our attacking formation, I just remember his goals in Europe and the fact he broke Lawmans record. £#%&!ing superb for us and deserves better than he often gets. |

Saha missed the majority of the season (for a change) ...Larsson was hardly a like for like replacement for Saha & we did pretty well with him in the side (Spurs away for example) One thing is for sure, we certainly haven't started this season with flowing football. Anyway, it's all irrellevant now anyway because Ruud isn't at the Club anymore. |

We'd have more goals this season if we had Rooney, Ronnie and Saha too.
You know, our strikers. Ruud's time was up with us. For whatever reason. Just because he did well for Madrid last year doesn't mean he would've been the same for us. Don't people remember how turgid we were with him in the side. I don't see why people can't wish him well, be pleased for him and be pleased for us. We've benefitted and he's benefitted. I don't see the problem. |

Unfortunately the season doesn't last between August & Christmas. Saha's impact for us was great, but from what I've seen of Ruud since he's been at Madrid he is simply the complete centre forward. Great first touch, great movement, goals in the bucketload, great lay-offs & give&go's. As I said, I'd sooner think we won the league last season because of our attitude, desire & quality of our midfield. Not because Ruud wasn't there. |
