Forgot to attack one more point in the "It's now Manchester Dis-United" article. Criticising Ferguson's transfer record is nothing short of "taking things out of context". Simply copying wholesale from anti-United British articles without thinking.
Tim Howard is a flop? He was named in the Premier League team of the season for fucks sake. Made tonnes of brilliant saves too! Against Man City in the FA Cup and against Bolton Wanderers from Okocha remember?
Liam Miller had barely played for 3 months and he is already considered a flop? Give me a break.
"And how he must rue his failure to sign Patrick Vieira..." Did Arsenal want to sell Vieira? Get some perspective here all right?
And similarly, Ferguson wanted Ronaldinho and Robben badly. But he does not control the purse strings. Peter Kenyon, the former CEO, fucked around with Paris St Germain (Ronaldinho's former club), and PSV Eindhoven (Robben's former club), not giving what the other clubs wanted and even offering derisory amounts. Of course the clubs broke off negotiations! And Kenyon subsequently jumped to Chelski. Good riddance. It is definitely no coincidence that after Kenyon left, United could pay 27 million pounds for a player (Rooney).
