I haven't watched him much, but hasn't he been terrible this year? I heard he went on some massive goal drought.
You're talking about the Hernandez who joined United and was very good in his first season or so. I'm talking about the one who couldn't hit a barn door in his last proper season here. 4 goals in 24 league games definitely isn't what we're looking for and I know he only had 6 starts. He was sub in 18 of the 24 but showed almost nothing when he came on never mind score. His days of being a good impact sub were over. - 4 goals in 24 games. Does that ring a bell??Who are you talking about?
This thread is about Hernandez, you know the little Mexican guy who's a great goal poacher and can score all different types of goals. Many of them were scored coming off the bench also. Ring a bell?

Complete rubbish. He's the kind of player who would still score from a piss poor through ball.Chicharito requires the perfect pass to get his goals and he wouldn't get many of those from our current squad.
So your whole opinion on him as a player is based entirely on his one year under Moyes then yes?
First off you didn't mention anything like that in your posts and secondly thats nonsense. You can't just disregard his whole career before and after that season.
Everyone was shit under Moyes, before that and since he's left he's been very good for Leverkusen and good for Real the year he was there. He's a great poacher of goals and was a great impact player for us off the bench.
No my whole opinion isn't based on one year. As someone mentioned he recently went on a 3 month goal drought. If that's true then he's hardly the sort of player we need. We have enough poor finishers already.So your whole opinion on him as a player is based entirely on his one year under Moyes then yes?

He's anything but that. I have no reason why he's going through a goal drought but he's anything but a poor finisher.No my whole opinion isn't based on one year.

I could say you've been "spouting rubbish" MATE but I'm not like that. I'm not here to prove anything. You have your opinion and I have mine. Leave it at that.No mate it sounds like it is, you spouted rubbish that just isn't true of Hernandez in general and then referenced probably his worst season as proof of your opinion.

Depends how much you think he deserves. Everyone knows his strengths (aerial game, movement, mobility) and his weaknesses (technique), and recognises that he's a striker only good enough to come off the bench for a trophy-challenging team.Doesn't get as much appreciation as he deserves I think. Has scored everywhere he has played. England, Spain, Germany and at the International level
That doesn't exactly tie in with him being a regular starter and our leading scorer in his first season here.Depends how much you think he deserves.

He wasn't our leading goalscorer, and I don't think we had a strong team in the 10-11 season. Certainly not to the level you could expect from a side that wins the PL and finishes runner-up in the CL nowadays. That aside, he only had more starts than Berbatov in the domestic cups.That doesn't exactly tie in with him being a regular starter and our leading scorer in his first season here.

Yup, he's always prone to score against any type of opposition and has shinned a lot for Mexico at international level. Last confedarations cup he also had 2 goals against Italy and Mexico was dreadful in that edition.
LVG was a clueless pleb. If he had his way, Herrera would have been sold too.
Fergie (or was it Hernandez) told later, that he limited him to the box, denying him a right to shoot from long range (remember his goal against us in that half/half game with Guadalajara?) and showcase his link up game.
Sanchez didn't like playing unimportant matches, similar to Keylor Navas and Costa Rica.Nice. I always felt that he was underrated as a footballer. Fergie (or was it Hernandez) told later, that he limited him to the box, denying him a right to shoot from long range (remember his goal against us in that half/half game with Guadalajara?) and showcase his link up game. Had some nice moments today, especially with that nutmeg run.
And what an immensely likable chap! All-time Mexico goalscorer too (btw I was surprised by how low Sanchez is in that list)
Didn't Fergie drop this guy for Welbeck? It's not like Van Gaal chucked him away when he was banging them in for us, he pretty much hadn't been first choice for a few seasons before we sold him.
Great goalscorer but his all round play was not nearly good enough for us. He can't really pass, hold up the ball or dribble. In fact if i recall correctly he couldn't do anything on the ball and was poacher in it's purest form. He'd be a great option but couldn't be a starter and I highly doubt he'd want to come back to United just to sit on the bench again
