Bog brush retired

The football world will pay their respects in a dignified manner

Best Chester of the ball ever

awesome

I could never be too harsh on bog brush since that game (Hull away? £#%&! knows what season) when he showed a bit of concern for an elderly woman in the crowd. Highlight of his Utd career.

A symbol of our decline.

Decent player for Belgium and Everton tbf.

Just never good enough for United, and we’ve seen a lot of those over the years.

At least the poor @#%&! tried. Awful player, wanted to play for United. Better than Pogba for us.

Good riddence to bad bog brush.

Not his fault, he never let anybody down in terms of effort, but he should never have been here to begin with.

Never got the hate - granted he wasn’t very good, seemed to have a pair of %@#$&!s at least.

Think he had a 30 million release clause, that expired and then a week later bid 35 million

An early indicator of woowar's genius.

The reason we paid £35m and didn't activate the buy out is because we didn't have the money or wouldn't spend the money to do so.

Buy out deals have to be paid in cash in full at the time of the signing and it's not unusual that the payment is made via the FA rather than directly to selling club.

By not activating the buy out United were able to spread the payments over the length of the players contract and only made an initial payment of well under £10m rather than £30m.

Yes I read about that he spotted she had broken her leg during the celebrations following Rashford's last minute winner that particular game. I would like to think that she made a full & hopfuly speedy recovery.

Mainly because each Manager insisted upon using him as a bloody holding midfielder & im sue that during his Everton days he was a striker & I reckon if United had used him as a centre forward he would have been like a modern day Joe Jordan & would have at least bullied oppossing centrel defenders, which is more than can be said for the like's of Lukaku.

His best position would probably been as splint for that poor lady’s broken leg.

To right we have & some of them are still at the club & are to blame for Jose & Ole getting sacked will probobly still be around to get ETH's eventuel replacement sacked aswell sadly, as the club are finding it almost impossable to shift them due to the ludicrass long contracts that the cluless Ed Woodward gave them

Maybe but I reckon to a certain extent the blame lays with Moyes LVG & Jose of whom all chose to use him a holding midfielder & he was never gonna exell in that position as long as he has a hole in his bottom!
