Radio silence on the Bebe front. Any word on his recovery ?
Bebe
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
dunno, but do we need a new thread on this lad?
I for one believe the name Bebe and everything to do with him should be removed from our history.
Let’s just pretend he never happened.
I pretty much never criticise Fergie. And when we signed him I was in denial and tried to even see potential when he made his debut.
But we signed a pub footballer….for £7million
He should be stricken from the records.

Better scoring rate than Torres and Carroll to be fair
His scoring rate's actually better than most strikers. Close to one in two iirc.
It's everything else that lets him down.

Indeed, that whole playing football malarkey seems to be beyond him
At least 2 of his goals had more than a bit of luck too. How many goals in total did he have....2?

I doubt he'd even make the team at Arbroath...
Worst signing in the Premier League era.
Yes, the old one is very long and full of historigraphical nonsense.
He could still make it IMO. He's got the ability, he's just very raw. Alec has high hopes for him, he will turn him into a star.
All you Doubting Thomases will see one day. Bebe shall show you all.
As a professional footballer?
I'd say that's harsh. We don't know what he's capable of yet. This was to be his developmental year before the injury.
£7m. 
Newcastle paid £8m for their central midfield duo of Cabaye and Tiote.
Sack Bebe, sign Graham Carr.

If he even comes close to scratching the surface of whats required to be a regular United player, he'd have to develop at a rate of fairly incredible proportions.
I expect him to come back from injury, hit a few children with his crosses and then leave. We'll never get anything close to the fee of what we paid for him and i'd be absolutely amazed if he remained in the Premier League.
Quite easily the worst signing in the Premier League in my eyes; at least Ali Dia was free.
We don't know why he was loaned out. It could've been to develop him and bring him back for another run with the first team. It could also have been to get rid of him for the time being with a view towards a permanent move elsewhere. Given that we don't know, I'd say its premature to make any judgements on his abilities given how little time he's had with us and the injury as well.
I wouldn't usually moan but this thread should be merged considering the fuss which is usually made about duplicates!
It was funny when Eamon Dunphy called him Bebo for some reason.
I am going to call him Bebo from now on

It's either a deliberate dodgy transfer the club had to make for some unknown reason (agent related, some say) or it's a monumental feck up and the scout responsible should be fired, from a cannon, into the sun.
£7m.
Sack Bebe, sign Graham Carr.
This number goes up and down as appropriate. Last week it was £10m when people were talking about our midfield against theirs. Now it's £8m. I also vaguely remember Cabaye alone costing "just under £10m" when we were talking about summer signings. Jus' sayin'.
Cabaye cost 5 million euros.
who gives a feck about this guy? truly.
His biggest assets are power and pace.
Going by what he's shown so far at United his level is the league he was originally signed.

Yep because there is no dubious goal panel for the Carling Cup or ECL, fairly certain both was own goals.
The club would never gamble that sort of money on a player who SAF had not watched - not even once!. No way. The first reason you brought up is the most plausible.
It's staggering how many people have written him off. 7 appearances for United (how many as a sub?) and he was obviously low on confidence. I could show 7 appearances in a row of Rooney playing shite, it's just too few to judge.
Shame about the injury, it's certainly made any chance he had much smaller.

Ah, bring the best out of the average Caf member by bringing up Bebe! I thought we all agreed he didnt deserve to live? I bet theres at least 100 blokes on here more talented than this poor excuse for a human being. I tell you what thats see if the burns quicker than petrol the prick, how dare he exist etc etc yadda yadda! STFU and leave the kid aloine!!!
Some people made a lot of money on this hobo. And now he conveniently broke his leg? Hmmm... I wonder if there's gonna be complications with his recovery and he'll have to end his "career".
Most sources stated there was an option for Besiktas to make the loan permanent, for c.£3m if I recall. It kind of suggests that everyone has realised it was a monumental error of judgement.
Shitty Google translation but this is from a Turkish newspaper:
That has been denied, and your point is rendered moot
Ahhhh well at least we made a homeless guy rich, there's always a chance he could well make it, though it looks a very small chance.
Must be our worst signing for a while. I thought Dong was bad. Spunking 7m on a homeless guy.
Shows you what Ferguson thinks of him that he broke his leg, returned to United for medical reasons and we sent him packing back to Turkey to sit on his arse.
It's a lot easier to pretend that we got him on a free and signed Chicharito for approximately £14m.
Scouse logic there.
Agreed. I sometimes wonder about those other two signings, Tomsich and the other player, forgot his name. maybe connected to the Vidic signing. Definitely dodgy
Am I the Only one not ready to write him off
He showed real raw power and pace in the reserve games I watched and if he works hard in training he could develop into a decent player IMO
Didn't he do well at besiktas before injury?
