Great boost for the United reds just now. Sir Alexâs Spirit Dancer winning the big one in Bahrain. A thumb in the eye to Abu Dhabi. A precursor to chasing down City this season?
Lapsed poster @croppy_boy was very excited about these two and was still holding out hope theyâd get the Frenkie De Jong over the line, long after it became apparent he had no interest in leaving Barcelona
In fairness Lewandowski didnât leave Dortmund for another 2 years after the RVP transfer in 2012 anyway. He spearheaded the Dortmund run to the Champions League final in 2013.
I thought that was Goetze? It was controversial at the time. Then Lewandowski the following summer? Hummels left fort Bayern in 2016 iirc. He played against Liverpool in the Europa League quarter-final that season but you got the sense he was out the door.
I just have strong memories playing â2 man World Cupâ at lunchtime in school during the 2012-13 season and everyone wanted to be Lewandowski. He was ripping it up for Dortmund at the time.
It was extremely random that he ended up spending four years at Fulham to begin with. Had his reputation been diminished at Juve before it? A few of the mid-table teams had brilliant keepers back then like Brad Friedel at Blackburn but Van Der Sar was a level above.
Youâre spot on here. It was a strange signing at the time given they already had an electric front 3 in Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez. The year Berbatov won the Golden Boot 25% of his goals came in one game against Blackburn. Another 3 against a Liverpool team in disarray under Roy Hodgson. Himself and Anelka (08-09) werenât top top Golden Boot winners.
