louis saha

Not to worry, Diouf is coming in January according to Ole today on Norwegian TV apparently. Plays a bit like Saha.

I don't hold much hope with this one

Scored another 2 and got man of the match in the cup final today apparently. New Solskjaer definitely. He could be useful enough, you never know but like you I won't be expecting much.

No, by the end of his time at Utd he simply had to go, needed a new start away from all the disappointment and pressure of OT. I am glad to see that he has got his career going again.


Saha is a better player than Tevez, his best performances in England are at a level that Tevez could not dream of getting to. Berbatov is technically better of course but Saha has the pace and strength and direct nature that this team could do with. In 2006 he was Utd's best attacking player, that includes Ronaldo, Rooney and Giggs.

Frustrates me that people say that he was not good enough for us. It is letting their frustration with his injuries cloud their judgement, superb player who could score any type of goals.

He should have had a brilliant career at Utd.

Saha was twice the player Tevez was. Of the past three titles we've won the best football we played was when he was leading the line in the 06/07 season, it's a just a shame he's injury prone.

saha is a great player and superb finished, but he wasn't mentally strong enough for United

some players can't handle playing for such a big club and the weight of expectation it brings. he was unfortunately one of them

Saha and Howard - both just right for Everton.

we were to big for him. mentally unfit.

yup. too big for him.

even if he scored against chelsea.

berbatov on the other hand... prolific. and never injured.

berbatov is class, saha is glass

So I've noticed

Saw Saha last night incidentally as Everton are in Melbourne just now. Scored an absolute peach but im not sure about the hair.

Was gonna shout Phil over for a pic when he was warming up but felt to embarrassed

Incidentally until he came on I had no idea Jermaine Beckford had joined them.

Saha is for me in the same catagory as Forlan. Both great players who just didn't click at united.

Anyway I wish Louis and Diego all the best.

Saha did "click" at United imo, it's just when we actually made him 1st choice up front, he couldn't handle it and became a sicknote.
