Donkey? Wish we had more than a couple of players who can compare themselves with his skill.
Make that one player (Giggs)

I think he is very very very skillful, I do not know why you do not like him, but I am surpised a bit here as I usually like your opinion about players, but lately, I am not sure any more as you think Forlan is good, when deep down I think you wish we did not go for him(As I still do think you know a shity player when you see one)..

If you go back and look at the posts you'll see that I was a big supporter of us buying Diego even before we bought him. He's a talented young player with exceptional link up skills. The tide will turn in his favour once he gets his first Prem goal.
As for Zlatan, we don't need a player with his alleged attitude at OT. The last thing we need at this stage is a problem child to disrupt the squad when we could have the likes of Gudjohnsen or Cisse aboard within the next 12 months.

Tells me you can't spell "a lot". It's two words, not one.
Zlatan has extraordinary ballplaying skills. He also has the ability to do the totally unexpected. He has extreme self-confidence. He is not very good as utilizing his exceptional physical size. Needs to learn that and a lot of other things.
I think he would be very valuable for us. I don't care if he is Ajax's first choice or not (they chose him first when they were faced with us and it worked pretty well).

What makes you so sure about the "tide will turn" in forlan's favour?

His problem has been psychological, and not in any way related to his ability. I've watched him in Argentina. Once he gets going, he really turns it on. His first Prem goal will be the trigger. Just watch.

Zlatan is better than Ciise in my view too.

As an aside, did you notice when promoting the idea that Forlan should come to United, that his scoring record in South America whilst good was not exactly sensational, plus the report that he had a tendency "to snatch at chances". A flaw which is still to be eradicated, if possible, under fergie's tutelage. Seeing as he was ostensibly replacing a prolific and proven goalscorer Andy Cole, I wonder how thorough the research was into young Diego's credentials ?

<strong>It wasn't very thorough. Martin Ferguson was in South America looking for a defender, when he saw Diego. He raved about him to Fergie and the rest is history. Don't know how the Boro connection developed though.</strong><hr></blockquote>
When did we scout him? When McClaren was with us?
Originally posted by Raoul:
<strong>No I think it was after Steve left. Perhaps there was some preliminary info that we had on Diego when McClaren was still at OT. Can't see the link otherwise.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Maybe he still has spies at Carrington.
