If you mean he's got until Christmas or he'll be leaving, that's Fergie's choice, not yours. I'll back Fergie's choice over ANY fan's any time.
If you mean he should be given until Christmas by the fans I agree.
He was a star at Lazio and worshipped by the fans. How do we want our stars to think about us when they leave? Imagine if a player of the stature of Keano, Becks, or Giggsy left and struggled to find form at his new club. If the fans became critical wouldn't the player look back at the adulation received at United? Seb is in that situation.
His words are often manipulated by the press. He has been harshly criticised, even ridiculed because he cost 28.1 million, even though he didn't set the price.
Despite this, he has repeatedly said he will see out his contact. He says he has a great debt to Fergie and wants to repay it. Fergie says that Seb has the ability to improve us. I trust Fergie's judgement because he has proven me wrong so often before. I hope Seb has a blinder of a season, shows us why he was bought and shuts up the critics. We should back all players 100% - provided they want to be here.
