Fergie's most despicable signing

#3-3reds

More titles than Gerrard.

Always 3-3

Wouldn’t listen to a second of it...(thanks for posting)

Detest the @#%&!

Sparky*** · 26-08-2018, 04:09 PM

For 6 years I hated football

I think we can all relate

Neo · 26-08-2018, 04:11 PM

3-3.

Horrible little @#%&! of a 'man'.

Have no idea what Fergie was thinking when he bought him. A stain on the club.

At his peak he was fantastic.

We got a shadow of the '98 version.

Not interested in the silly partisan history stuff.

We would never have guessed from most of his United "performances" tbf.

Mr_Ed · 26-08-2018, 05:37 PM

Didn’t he score a hat trick for us in Europe one night?

Yes, and then did a good impersonation of a plank of wood the subsequent weekend (when we got zapped by Fulham)

Yeah Wolfsburg away. Obertan

Owen scored the equaliser in the League Cup final in 2010 then pulled a hammy shortly after

The national ABU rage when Vidic didn't get sent off for giving away that penalty

Now that I remember... your man wasn't facing goal, wasn't a goalscoring opportunity.

A horrific signing.

Fergie indulged himself more than once signing an aging player after failing with attempts when they were in their prime.

Blanc, Larsson.

Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub.

I’ve no feelings towards him whatsoever. He’s too non descript to dislike.
