I would like to ask my fellow United fans on whether he was a success for us or not, when he joined us from Monaco, he arrived with a big reptuation, he had just won the world cup the year berfore ( correct me if i'm wrong ), and he cost around £9 million pounds which was alot of money for a goalkeeper back then, I thought he did well for us in my opinion, i know he made mistakes as well because he was settling it but he provided some world class saves for us like he did against Liverpool in the 02/03 season when Hamann hit a shot from 30 yards it was going in the top corner until Barthez got a hand on to it. It was a shame that he left us in the summer of 2003 but we did sign Tim Howard and he was very good in his first season with us.
I will never get over him having a mare at Arsenal...Not for me I'm afraid. [video=youtube;mOGE6ZUfLN4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOGE6ZUfLN4[/video]
He had his moments, I hid behind the couch every time I saw him and Brown in the same starting line up though... Not sure how true it was but there was talk when he signed that he wanted Fergie to agree to let him play as a striker in one game every season Maniac.
