He Didnt sign giggs though??? Was he not in the academy already.. Also re the list mark Hughes was already there. Or did he buy him back from abroad.
At the time though he was on loan to Bayern Munich. So, the owners were Barca but he came from Munich!
Mine also, except I'd swap Ole for Ruud. Would also throw Yorke in there as I wouldn't call Giggs a signing (SAF also 'signed' Beckham in terms of playing a key role in convincing him to join Utd over the other clubs competing for his signature and convincing his parents to let him move to Manchester).
Course he's a signing. You all should read Fergie's book, it's well documented he moved heaven and earth to ensure he signed for United not City. Hence, a signing. Beckham can equally be included in that if you wish.
Kind of hard to pick just one. So many details to consider, transfer fee, fee we got from selling them, impact they had at the club short term and long term and how much did they help us win? Cantona was a major factor in giving the clubs is eternal winning personality. Ronaldo destroyed teams on his own helping use win a bunch of trophies and then we made a boat load off of him to Madrid. Many of the others were just great signings all around in terms of money and the what they brought to the club.
cant really pick one, though i will say Keane simply because i think he should be on list (how can he not be there but paul ince is, not a dig at ince but Keane had a much bigger role at the club) as i said though bit too tough to pick just one, however for value in the modern market £7 million for Hernandez going forward could prove to be the best value for a player in terms of that list, but then again you could say similar things for ronaldo, vidic, evra, etc not to mention the players from the early 90's like Cantona
