Manchester United 2022/23 - The Reign of ETH

What a strange comment from a very odd individual.

You were waxing lyrical about the human rights abusing Man City owners yesterday.

What issue have you With woman beating exactly ?!

Jaap Stam, Berbatov, Van Der Sar, Van Nistelrooy, Carrick, Hargreaves, Kagawa, Tevez. All established internationals, all signed by Ferguson for big money

Carrick, tevez, kagawa and Hargreaves were all signed for less than 20 million I reckon.

20 million was on the higher end of transfer fees back then

Berbatov and Van der Sar were put on massive wages

This narrative is a nonsense. United signed plenty of players under Ferguson, he constantly supplemented his teams with fresh blood and plenty of them were bad signings too

That Tevez deal stank.

Van der sar was signed from Fulham at 34.

Berbatoz wasn’t a good signing.

Van der Sar fixed a gaping hole ye had in the goalie position since Schmeichel.

Berbatov was absolutely genius at Man United. I’d say you’re too young too remember

He didn’t really towards the end.

He really pulled up spending bar van persie. He targeted much younger players.

Zaha
Jones
Smalling
Tošić

Etc.

The ronaldo was reinvested on Michael Owen, Valencia and Hernandez.

That has no relevance to his transfers fee.

No he wasn’t.

He totally unbalanced the side and Rooney ended up wide right and tevez ended up leaving over it.

He scored plenty but he wasn’t a good signing at all.

He was dropped for the 09 final and that was it really.

A grand player but not a top player.

Instead of signing berbatov in 08 they should have gone after another midfielder to replace Giggs and scholes.

There was nothing wrong with Rooney, tevez and ronaldo up top.

he had is best season after 09 and got to another champions league final. Jesus lad, you’re usually better than this. You’re flailing

Yet man United were totally out played in the middle of the park and lost the final.

Tevez left which was a disaster and berbatov never achieved nothing.

He wasn’t a good signing at all.

I was a huge Berbaov fan but he didn’t even make the bench for the 2011 Champions League Final despite being the EPL Top Scorer that season.

Michael Owen made the bench ahead of him.

okay mate. they lost both finals and berbatov started neither - I’d say that was the mistake.

Imagine getting overrun by Barca with Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta

Probably another example of Ferguson cutting off his nose to spite his face

You claimed he was a good signing.

He wasn’t.

Man United had enough attackers and should have been building around Rooney and tevez.

The midfield was

Giggs
Scholes
Hargreaves who was always injured
Fletcher who we lost to illness
Fat Anderson
Carrick.

The money invested in the berb should have spent on the middle of the park.

I was so excited about javier Hernandez around then. Another fella treated disgracefully.

he wasn’t a good signing, he was a great signing

For man city maybe because ye got tevez.

Tevez didn’t leave United because of Berbatov, he left because he was a free agent after his loan spell and United never offered him a permanent deal. Another Fergie fuck up

He left because he wasn’t playing enough.

The fuck up was signing berbatov.

He wasn’t needed.
