Football at the top, in most cases is played at a much higher pace than any other 'ball' sport, thinking of it I would say it has less stopages in play too. In FOOTball you rely on your legs than any other ball sport. I know Saha has been accused of having mental blocks with his injuries, but if you are injured you can do nothing about it. Louis Saha's Carling Cup run in 05/06 was what helped us to the final and also helped Ruud Van Nistelrooy out of Manchester. Louis had been on a great run up front and Fergie's decision to reward him with a start in the final ahead of Ruud. After the final whistle and a 4-0 win (Rooney 2, Saha, Ronaldo) which was the first step to real sucess for our new squad of players Ruud was seen storming down the touchline away from our players and you know what SAF feels about the importance of team spirit. Anyway, in the last couple of months after years of being a big supporter of Saha, injured or not having my full backing I have finally run out of patience. He is a top quality player and like Cisse, if he went abroad will never be injured again and score loads. We can't afford to bank on him any longer, I don't have a clue who we'll get instead. Berbatov is not the tallest player and he doesn't have much of a squad personality but I'd still like to see him at OT. We also have: Tevez, Rooney, Manucho, Febien Brandy, Frazier Campbell and (even Guiseppe Rossi if we wanted to buy him back) I have faith in United this summer and I'm sure we won't get caught short again.

I have faith in United this summer and I’m sure we won’t get caught short again.

Jeez! I’m sorry but at this stage of the year, players need to play with a little pain and suck it up a bit. Being Canadian I just cannot handle the fact that footballers can not handle playing with any physical discomfort. Certainly hockey players and American football players don’t suffer from this problem. Only baseball players are as wimpy as this." And so as you can see this was directed at all of our players and not at Saha. I haven't a problem with you either being annoyed at SAF for letting Rooney play through the pain or that you want every player to have enough commitment to the team to play for the team, but you can't have it both ways. About Saha, I know I will never change your mind on him, and he is a great frustration to everyone. I just find it a bit confusing that you can't appreciate how good he was, as it was fairly clear at the end of the 05-06 season and the first half of the 06-07 season, and you are a logical person. You have every right to hate him for his injuries, it may not be his fault(and I actually blame SAF for showing to much loyalty and faith in this case) but it is a fair reason to not want him in our team imo. And yes I haven't seen enough of Huntelaar, so I know you can judge what he would bring to us much better than I, but I just think you're urge to get a goalscorer is making you show just a bif of bias towards Huntelaar, you talk about him as if he is the best thing since sliced bread :lol: Grognard just for the sake of argument; here you said “Not having Hargo and Anderson may be are undoing in this game.
