Bradmonk Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 But I'm stuck as to what players I should have in the squad, since there have been so many down the years. Could some of you please help? Since obviously I can't put everyone in the squad, there are a few players I can't choose between! e.g. Keane / Robson / Charlton / Scholes - Cantona / Cole / Law / van Nistelrooy... Etc Etc. I don't want to have all of them since that would be stupid. Please input a name and state your case Many Thanks, Mad Brad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be going into the U18's. There he wouldn't be able to cause any more damage! Same with Bosnic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
typenamehere Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'd say cantona, for the time he was with the red devils he made a huge impact on the team, and in my opnion the greatest striker that ever graced manchester united with his presence on and off the football pitch.

W**ker! I would love to interview the bloke though. "So Michael, you decided to join Chelsea ahead of Manchester United and you were quoted as saying the reason for you decision was because, 'Chelsea are a stronger team'! How does it make you feel that since you turned United down, they have won the Premier League title three times consecutively and made two Champoins League final appearances, beating your Chelsea team in the 2008 final, two League Cups, a World Club Cup and 4 Community Shields. While all you have achieved in your tenure in England is one FA Cup Winners Medal? "How does it make you feel Mr Bollock, just how does that makee you feel?"

Plus, most of those weren't for United. No he's sandwiched between Shearer (206) and Henry (174) with 187. It doesn't bother me that most of them weren't scored while he was at Man Utd, he was still brilliant while he was there. Paired with Yorke, they were both awesome! Its hard to not think of him as a legend. I said 'All time' as its easier to put rather than 'the 18 year history of the Premier League' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
