I don't know why this post has got me out of hiding. I'm a every day reader and have been an occasional poster over the years. First as U-N-I-T-E-D F-O-R-E-V-E-R and then another name which I can't remember. Eds will probably know based on my email which has always been the same.
Got to disagree with Beast and Mort with respect to Le Tiss. It was a different time so difficult to make direct comparisons. Of course he was no athlete like many of the stars today but in terms of technique and technical ability he was simply superb.
He carried a team that probably should have got relegated every year but he kept them in the top division, which sometimes felt like single handedly and when he retired I think they went down inside a three or four seasons.
During his peak years her could have played for any of the top sides and would have been one of their better players. Was he luxury player - yeah he was but he could get 20+ goals almost every season and most of them were crackers. You obviously would have to use him correctly and play to his strengths, otherwise you would have another Veron (another superb player) on your hands if all you wanted was a hardworking centre mid.
Which brings me to another point. Pogba is a luxury player for us at this moment and I believe we bought him a the wrong time and he has suffered because of it. Luxury players tend to thrive if the team is complete and they are allowed to do their thing. I'm hoping with Fred coming in to play alongside Matic - Pogba will be able to play further up the pitch and really show everyone how good a player he is. I think he is going to have a great season for us. The last two have been tough on him as he has had to drop deep where he makes little impact and can't influence the game.
Finally, just wanted to thank the eds and posters for all their debates, banter and insightful comments. Also, I had some pretty tough times over the years and always turned to my family here and always got lots of support so just wanted to say thank you.
