Didn't he say he was too good for us earlier in the season, much as I like him and thought he wasn't being used properly by United, we have enough attitude in the team already?
How much would Utd want for him, not that we'll get him? (See, I'm carrying on the trend of not tempting fate).
Although he turned us down earlier in the window I could see the climate shift the closer to September 1st we get. He clearly isn't wanted at United, and if no better offers come in for him then perhaps something could happen. At his age he needs to be playing regularly, I don't think he'd get that at any of the top clubs in the PL, so he's either going to have to go abroad or adjust his perception of what "his level" is. Having said that, I'm not too sure I'm that interested in a player that comes to us as a last resort.
I would forget his original misgivings...if he came to get some game time, I would admire him for deciding to get his career back on track even at the cost of public perception. However, have little faith in a footballer showing sense...they just want to be a top club getting top dollar. I suspect he will go to a European club.
Fair point, didn't think of that as he managed nearly a whole season without being crocked once in his entire time in England
And would quite literally go into the squad as top earner by a mile upsetting all the others. He isn't going to join us even at the same wages as he gets now.
It is not going to happen, but by golly, I would lobe us to announce someone of this ilk, with the Ronald stood there smoking a huge cigar in a Groucho Marx style pose, saying, "where's the lack of ambition now twatbeard" sadly, not going to happen.
