Some of the strikers we've had in recent years

I was a huge Forlan fan. Such a shame he left. Be great to have him back.

liked him around the villa come back in the cup but he just didnt look a 'united player' to me.

He was everything United in his first 3 seasons. The greatest goalscorer I have ever seen.

agreed. he was good in his first few seasons.

my favourite goal from him was against charlton (a) in the blue kit with red bits.

that one ruud scored against basel was ridiculous.

There was a few.

Fulham @ home, Villa in the cup, Juventus in that pre-season game.
His half volley v Southampton at home. He scored some marvellous goals.

I really £#%&!ing liked Forlan, it was a shame it didn't work out for him as well as everyone hoped. FWIW, I reckon Forlan would do alright for himself in the current side

"Louis Saha is going to Manchester United over my dead body" - Chris Coleman

Still makes me chuckle thinking of that

I think United were too big for Diego. The pressure was too much for him, imo of course.

Another Diego fan here, felt sorry for him half the time because his attitude was brilliant it's just sometimes in football things dont work out and he was one of them.

Always keep eye on Athletico because of him, can't believe he's 28 tho

Saha was a £#%&!ing shame. He had the lot.

I wasnt a Forlan fan at all, he was out of his depth half the time I always felt.

when I heard the news we were getting rid, I was delighted.

Could have been our Eto'o.

Instead he was our, er, Saha.

I remember all the shenanigans at beating Middlesborough to signing him ; I had a chap installing a burglar alarm at my house and SSN on in the background. To this day, the only living, breathing Boro fan I've ever met.

Forlan would probably have settled in quicker at Boro and been some sort of success there.

That video compilation on youtube whilst he was at Independiente caused a lot of us to drool in anticipation ..

Forlan joined us in 2002, youtube wasn't launched until 2005.

Oops

Well the video clips circulating around the new-fangled internet at the time then.

Mea culpa !

Perhaps I should take more water with it at lunchtime ?!
