Perhaps if Owen had possessed the sense to join United in his younger days, SAF would have nurtured him, instead of Loserpools method of over playing him as a teenager. SAF's policy let Beckham, the Neville's, Ronaldo, Butt, Scholes, O'shea and Brown progress slowly without burning them out to more Premiership medals than Gerrard has penalties.
No. Absolutely straight up 100% no. Not good enough. That's my opinion, which of course flies in the face of the Liverpool consensus of when a player signs for you he is immediately world class but there you go. Never on our radar, with good reason.
See Muller turned United down, who hasn't? Alonso: Big step down from Madrid to a club like United these days

Only the top 4 of that list is worth a damn PMK. But I wouldnt say he had "years of failure" with Liverpool to be honest, won a few decent trophies, just never the league..... EDIT: Minus the Charity Shield!!!
The RS scraping the barrel as usual. When I ever feel down about United's position I remind myself of the RS, of how they lost the trophy they coveted most by Stevie slipping at the last moment... They are as distant from winning it as ever.

However we try and split this, there is absolutely no getting away from the fact that for Owen to get a premiership medal he had to end up at United. In the words of the Fat Spanish Waiter, that Meester Ferguson, is a fackt
All the players who have contributed to 20 league titles. Cheers though! Are you the autistic Chelsea fan?
Did it take you ages to come up with that spectacular joke? My sides are LITERALLY SPLITTING. Last rojo <tumbleweed>
