There goes my next pick, but figured there was no way in hell he'd come back round.
at least you protected Jonesy in time!

and to complete the striker duo, someone who found his form somewhere else:
I'm not that old, but he was a superstar in his day and adorned loads of Utd memorabilia and written media. Pre-injury, he looks electric and well deserving of the plaudits.He seems to be extremely highly regarded by many of the older posters in the Utd forum that watched him at the time. I'm surprised at some of the wide players that were picked before him.

ANDY GORAM furiously told Roy Keane to "f*** off"' at Manchester United before a "scared" Gary Neville warned him "we don't talk to Roy like that".
The late Scotsman, who passed away aged 58 in July last year from cancer, locked horns with the former Red Devils hardman when he arrived at Old Trafford on loan from Motherwell in 2001.
Goram found himself at Old Trafford after Fabien Barthez and Raimond van der Gouw were both hit with injuries ahead of a crucial Champions League tie at Bayern Munich.
But there was to be no welcome party from the hothead skipper, who made no secret of his dislike for the former Rangers and Oldham star.
In a 2020 interview with The Mirror, Goram lifted the lid on an explosive bust-up with the fiery midfielder during a training session.
Goram recalled the moment they met: "Shark’s eyes. Dead, devoid of emotion, glaring at me. No handshake. Welcome to Manchester United, Roy Keane-style.
He said: “We just never spoke. We had nothing in common. His beliefs and my beliefs are a mile apart.
“I met all the players in the dressing room, Steve McClaren took me around. I knew most of them, the Nevilles and all that… I played cricket with their da. I knew most of them.
“And it came to Roy Keane and you know, you shake hands. He just looked at me and I went, ‘there’s no point is there?’ And he went, ‘no’. And we never spoke for three months.”
"There were clashes between us. One day in training, we were playing a game of eight-a-side and Keane and Luke Chadwick were up front for my team.
"I always prided myself on the accuracy of my kicking, on being able to pick out a player from a distance, and that day I half-volleyed a peach right on to Chadwick’s foot.
"The kid snatched at it and ballooned his volley over the bar. Suddenly, I was the target of a volley of abuse from Keane. ‘Hey you, give me the f*****g ball,’ he screamed.
"I replied, ‘What, do you get the ball just because you’re Roy Keane? F*** off’.

"The atmosphere was icy from that moment on, and on the way off the field Gary Neville collared me. ‘Goalie,’ he said, ‘we don’t talk to Roy like that down here. We just don’t’.
"It was a telling insight for me. Of course I respected Keane as a player, but I couldn’t have that."
He added: “He was a Celtic man, I was a Rangers man. He didn’t like me. End of story. Fair enough. After all, I’d done enough to make some Celtic fans dislike me in seven years at Ibrox.”
“There was to be no handshake. Ever. The truth is we didn’t exchange a civil word in the three months I was at Old Trafford.”

Not an objection per se, but what's the reasoning? Tactical flexibility?Any objections anyone? Seems fine to me.
