shame really, i thought he had a lot to give. Guess he wasnt prepared to wait and prove himself.
good luck to him. hope he can impress with newcastle, apart from when they are playing us of course.
Goodbye and thank you baked potato!
Is it really all over? 
Good luck lad.
I blame Kouroux as well
Blanc's comments about him always worried me
You give too much credit.Obertan burned a big bridge by joining United, he took a gamble on his early career and it hasn't worked out.It doesn't mean he is doomed to be an average player for ever.There is always a hope he might develop into a decent player as he is still very young.
Transfer confirmed.

From what everyone says Obertan was a great professional. Still remember him for helping us get that last minute Scholes goal v City, and for the great goal he scored against Besiktas.
Hope he goes on to fulfill all the promise at Newcastle. They could have a great bargain!
They've just got a good player there. Lots of skill and fantastic pace. Sorry to see him go and wish him well for the future.

I can only see one great professional in that image (discounting Sir Bobby, since he no longer plays).

Call it old fashioned or whatever but I wholeheartedly agree.
Good luck tanman
He will be missed... not really, but I liked him and wish him the best of luck

shame he couldn't make the grade for us, good luck with newcastle except against us
left pig and gibson to go now...

oh and he is going to destroy Gibbs on Saturday
Never looked even close to being good enough for us. He has some raw-potential but I am not so sure that he will ever fulfil it. Good luck to him anyway as he goes to join the growing French contingent at Newcastle.
I think we should think twice before investing in a french player with a kidney shaped head next time one is on the market. After Silvestre and Obertan I there is a lesson to be learned. I hope Obertan fulfils his rich potential though
except against United.
I hope we've got some kind of sell-on clause. I can see him being worth quite a bit in the future, if he finally manages to make it all click.
Football forum?
Silvestre was a great signing for us.
Exactly. He played a lot of games for us and was one of our more important players when we won the league in 02/03 I'd say.
But for those who didn't watch him much until 2005, I can understand he's seen as a flop as he was injured a lot during his last few years at United and made a lot of errors. Overall though, a very good signing.
Over 350 games for us, yep clearly shite..
I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing him play next season now :/
Glad he's gone to the Geordies
Good luck... you'll need it up there

Really? He had some great performances, especially when partnered with someone more solid, but I remember attention problems, and weird decisions letting in a number of goals.
And headbutting Freddy Ljundgberg. Not that I don't understand the urge; it just seemed to be unprovoked, and got him sent off. Fortunately the game was won already, but he was out for 3 after that.
I remember being scared of what bizarre thing he would do next, especially when Rio was serving his lengthy ban.
I think he'll become a very good player for them. He needs games and hopefully one day there will be that switch that finally turns on that lets him look up and play the right final ball. That's the main thing holding him back from being a very good player - has everything else in his locker. Easier said than done though, lots of players are skillful, just that footballing brain part for some never kicks in.
Four million and got 250 appearances, never a world class player, but still very very good
361 actually in total, PL, CL and so on.
Sometimes. Other times he was frightening. For the times he did right by us I thank him. But I cheered when I heard he was sold.
Surprising. Thought we would have been more patient with him. I'm assuming we've made very little off this transfer so we could have given him longer. I guess his lack of progress must have convinced Fergie he wasn't capable.
I think SAF is just realising we had players who aren't up to the standard or are surplus to requirements.
What the hell is SAF's thinking? Letting Obertan go will reduce the "can do the job" staff to the minimum. We can't have a team were every single player in it is good enough to actually compete for a first team role rather then merely cover it.
Good luck to him in the future. I think he'll end up a good player, he's just behind to many quality players at United.
Hope he does well actually. Want him to get his head right and believe in himself cos he's got a lot of talent
