Greatest Transfer Flop

Someone's raised a question "Who Is The Greatest Transfer Flop In England?" in TT Forum. Good and interesting question, so attracted interesting discussion.

kev, the starter, suggested the United's 24M-signing Veron, who wasted 39M pound in England while 15M were from Chelsea. Now Veron returned to Intern Milan! Another flop "shared" by Man Utd and Chelsea is Bosnich. Where is he now? Who cares?

In fact, there are several "great picks" in Old Trafford camp, like Blanc, Dj-dj, Kleberson as well as Taibi, probably the most leaky keeper in United's history.

Casiragi and Sutton were two believed-to-be great strikers, but never shone in Stamford. Another suggestion. Striker in Stamford again, but a very fresh pick: it's Kezman, the top scorer in Dutch league.

Liverpool have several as well. Bruno Cheyrou and Sinama Ponggole are two of those recent signing proven not suitable for Liverpool, or probably Premiership. Crouch might be another. I'd add Kewell to the list. Fowler and McMananaman are two of those who could never find the form after leaving Liverpool. Eventually, Man City suffered the most.

Newcastle's Kluviet as well as the pair on the center back are very obvious picks. Hm... Should I add Souness as well?

Guess Wenger had made 100% correct investment in transfer market? No way. Remember Jeffers and Wright were once Arsenal's players. In the current squad, Wenger has Almunia and Cygan, who guarantee that opponents can score easily.

Any further suggestions?

Fergie, it's time for you to enjoy your life, not soccer anymore.

From UnitedRant Community Messageboard, a poll showed (at least a certain portion of) fans of United want to have another manager taking over the team.


* The poll started @ 13th of this month, after the dull draw with Everton.

Arsenal's Great Escape

Even Wenger would say his squad was lucky to escape from being dumped out of Carling Cup by Doncaster.

They made 2 errors, which were both translated into goals by Doncaster's players. It was a very tough match for the Gunners. Donny's players were consistent and tough. They allow minimal threats from the Premiership side. When everyone thought Gunners' quest was finished, Giberto scored a late late goal during the ultra long injury time of the extra time.

Superbly performed Almunia was the hero at Donny's home, since he saved 2 penalties, while another one denied by the post.

Arsenal have been handed another tough match, facing Wigan. Man United will play Blackburn, who defeated them at Old Trafford.

Man Utd missed out the best

Ron claims FIFA World Best

Ronaldinho is simply the best, but Man Utd's management was simply unwilling to spend. Now, this proves that they are wrong and missed out the best player in the world, who has still bright prospect, as he is only 25 years old.
