'tis a silly place
Ruud has told the press he is disappointed. Apart from breaking numerous records, scoring 10 champions league goals and being top scorer in all competitions, as well as winning two PFA awards, he feels he has done nothing this season. He wants to win some trophies, and I really like that sort of attitude. He is hungry, and you can tell next season could be a cracker ! :D

--------------------------------------------------

Ruud: 'It's all very nice, but for me it does not mean anything yet. This is not what I wanted. I came to United to win trophies and we have won nothing.

'We have missed out on winning the FA Cup, we failed to win the Champions League and we were beaten by Arsenal in the Premiership. I find it disappointing. Yes, I have enjoyed my moments and I scored some good goals, but that is all. There is no crown on my first season with United.

'I am a winner and I am chasing much more. I want to win the championship, I want to win the Champions League and an FA Cup. It is frustrating to see others parading their trophies.'

He said: 'I want us to perform better than this year. We have not played up to our abilities. Against Deportivo La Coruna away in the Champions League we showed what we were capable of. If we had played like that all the time we could have won it all. But we don't have that consistency.'

'This season has given me the confirmation of my own quality and class. I have the assurance that I belong at top level. England is one of the most fantastic countries to play football in.

'At Old Trafford I sense how much the United fans love the club. They give me more support than I could have imagined. We lost 3-0 against Chelsea at home and we lost the title to Arsenal, but they were singing for us, thanked us and applauded us.

'The fans at United rate me in a special category of top players at the club. I am down in the history books of United after only one season.'
 
Good Man Ruud! Great attitude and with the rest he'll have in the summer he should be back next season even better, cant wait :D
 
I have to admit that at the beginning of the season I thought you lot made a mistake spending all that money on RVN and JSV.

I don't think Veron has worked out, but Ruud has been simply awesome. fair play to him.
 
In a long dutch interview he said more or less the same. BUT there's more. He said that in the past, when he had to deal with disappointments, it made him only a better player and he'd improve greatly. He hopes that missing the world cup and not winning trophies this season will make him alot stronger and better next season... Ruud also talked in a way in which you could hear that there's far more in it ("it" being his capabilities, talents), and that he hasn't shown us everything yet this season :D
 
Btw typical of planetfootball.com to slap an offensive header like "Ruud BLASTS United" on this interview when the stuff he said was meant positively, not negatively (ie. "blast" United) :rolleyes:
