I remember Ferguson admitting he was one of his worst signings. I suspect he also thinks he was one of his best sales.

I think they were played out of position, someone put them on a football pitch.

I seem to recall he had one good game for us; an end of season match against Man City.

Otherwise he was rubbish.

He was almost as good as Mathieu Berson and slightly better than Jordan Bowery.

i remember his debut away at fulham and two blokes behind me chanting "djemba, djemba-djemba, djemba-djemba" to the tune of no limits by 2 unlimited.

didn't catch on.

It does make you wonder....almost as if our scouting network's thoughts are "he's played for Man U so he must be half decent"
Yes, he did have that one decent game V Man City but overall he can be added to the every growing list of.. Why?

He looked quite similar to Carlos Sanchez in that given his physique and athleticism he had a chance of being able to do a job. And similarly he didn't.
