    While RvP has been banging them in, it was no big shock he scores many at a club that makes many chances., He's quality but why people act like it was a stroke of genius to get in a top class proven prem striker to score goals?

    Did the manager that signed RvP say He'd never heard of Michu?

    16 goals from playing a deeper position. In a good but ultimately lesser team.

    22m Less than RvP and that alone is not the only reason he is a better all round signing, adapting to a new league also. He just arrived, Robin's been in the prem a long long time too.


    What a player so far Michu has been, I seriously doubt he will make it through the summer as a Swans player. is he also fairly younger than RvP too?

    He's 26, how old is RVP - 28/29?

    Edit - agree with everything you've said too.

  3. TBF, you could put Suarez's name instead of RvP and the point will be exactly the same <ok>

    That's also true. Yeh I was gonna mention Suarez but thought mentioning Suarez in a United thread doesn't always go down well <laugh>

    Don't get me wrong, Michu still has to suffer second season syndrome but he's still on fire right now.

    Michu is the signing of the season, no comparisons needed he stands up by himself. The fact that he is so calm in front of goal, good in the air, pretty quick, clever and scores all sorts of goals tells me that he will not have this 2nd season syndrome he is too good for that.

    I would love us to buy him, he may cost 30 million so will the owners stump up the cash?

    Michu is the signing of the season by a country mile imo. I find it funny when people (English people) say the Spanish league is **** when Michu scored 30 in his last 4 seasons in the Spanish league and was a very ordinary player in the league now looks like a goal machine in the prem.

    Michu is the signing of the season, no doubt.

    However, he was unproven in the PL & largely unheard of hence his price. Ferguson bought RvP knowing if he stayed fit, he was going to deliver goals & lots of them. Buying proven quality always costs, as the club who buys Michu in the summer will attest to.

    I agree, can't see it being us as he will be very expensive and there will be competition with CL on offer.

    I heard he a Liverpool fan though. :smile:

    I am not making the comparison though Luv, the media are.


    We know RvP is proven quality Tobes. Michu is proven quality, what's your point? he was 22m less, Fergie and you not knowing who he was doesn't disprove his quality, Swansea knew they were buying quality imo

    It's strange as he was highly regarded when he was at Ath Madrid without ever being prolific.

    Joined LFC and found a team and a manager which suited his style. Thankfully, we saw the best out of him before his decline <ok>
