Obviously we lost games when Ronnie played, and obviously he had bad games where he didn't perform, but there just seemed to be such a ridiculous belief that we'd beat anyone whenever he played. Going to places like The Emirates, Anfield, Stamford Bridge, Stadio Olimpico and even the Nou Camp didn't seem daunting at all with him in the side. Teams used to absolutely shit it against us.
That's completely gone now and we don't raise that fear factor anymore. Can you imagine £#%&!ing Basel beating us if we had Ronnie in the side ffs? I don't think he'll ever come back, as he probably sees his United/England chapter closed and he'll go to Italy or Portugal after he's bored at Madrid. I still think he believes he made a mistake by leaving United so early though. Everything was set up for him here, but he seemed to have a 'grass is greener' complex going on with Spain, and now he's there he's realised it's not the dream he thought it would be with the boo boy #@&%!s and lack of silverware. Oh well, should have known better.

He wouldn't come back with the team we have at the minute, just imagine how frustarted he'd get.
