He was terrible against Liverpool, and this is in your list of top performances!
What do you expect.
And I think its funny that because I can see the wood for the trees I am therefore an ABU.
I saw all of the games in your list with the exception of Nantes. If these were top performances then we have a different perception of what a 28 million pound (and world class) footballer should bring.
Ill motivated shoddy play isnt what I would want from a world class footballer.

Yeah, that if something slightly goes wrong, people like you start blaiming Verón for no other reason that he's an Argie!

We can always sell him after the World Cup after he plays well with the Argies for a probable profit. The 'investment' is sound - it's just that noone wants to sell him.
Apart from me and Stan.
Weaste
Why dont you just resort to saying that i've never been to Manchester before?
That was the only part of your 'Case for Veron' argument that was any fun, cos by asking me that, you were really proving his worth at the same time

IF he does well in the World Cup...
Lots of ifs and buts re Veron ain't there?

AFTER he does well in the World Cup. But it's irrelevant cos I doubt SAF will sell him.

oh right so you saw the Everton match where he got MOM??
He was MOM against Everton, Olympiakos, Nantes, and Depor.. i also thought he worked his bollocks of versus Liverpool at OT..and he was our best player against Derby, where he ran the game like the Depor match.

He did look far more interested than usual against us..
I found it amusing that you were all so delighted with that, as opposed to being annoyed he hadn't done it beforehand..
And despite his "brillance" we still won..

Danny Murphy's the type of player we need.
Another strange thing, if these SA players take so long to settle( speshly when they arrive via Italy )then it's even more ironic that people on this board bounce names around from that part of the world everyday
It took me ages to finish reading the thread, and the thread being so long was probably the reason why so few posters reply to it. First page was a heated debate, second page was less so, third page jokes and 'general forum conversations' and the fourth different comments.
I hate it when United loses a match, not only because it dampens my mood for the entire day, but also because of absurd posts appearing all over the forums. I appreciate when comments made are sensible and objective - comments over our play and stuff, but yelling to sell the players and stuff just gets on my nerves. I swear I have never done that, though I had commented on the team's performance before, which I believe everyone is entitled to. And when one gives constructive criticism to the team doesn't mean that he is not a real supporter.
As for the Veron debate, I believe that he is a world-class player but really, he hasn't shown his worth in United yet. We all know what he is capable of, there were glimpses of his genious in matches but he is certainly able to produce better performances. No, it's not asking for him to be world-class in every match, but at least a certain standard should be maintained. However, I shan't give him a death sentence as yet because he has only just joined us for a short period of time and like a lot of posters have said, he should be given more time to prove himself.

Thats the thing tho..
Veron's a 28m world class player..
Murphy's a decent enough PL player, no more..
And its hard to tell the difference..
Gerrard's a one season wonder.. brilliant last year but this season he's trying to be a player maker... he's a poor mans Nicky Butt and i don't think he should forget that....
I think that too many people think that Verón is or should be a box to box player, which he is not. He hasn't got the stamina to be so.
Listen folks, why do you feel the need to defend every member of our team to the hilt as though not doings so will give the scousers and gooners a good laugh at your expense?
Why are you bothered what they think? Come on let's be serious here, we don't give a shit if they want to have a laugh at you and call you a fickle part time United supporter. Have you all so little conviction in your own loyalties that you let such people get to you?
We all know who we support and if someone wants to have a go at you on an internet forum for a point of view that is clearly founded on little more than a post you have made criticising a player then let him. He means nothing.
Sutty et al are not suggesting anything other than the fact that Veron has been disappointing this season, something I think that in your heart of hearts you know as true.
There is no need for self appointed defenders of the faith to get on their high horses and pretend otherwise. If you diss a player or suggest that a player hasn't lived up to expectation it doesn't make you any less of a supporter now does it?
