Going to be the best overseas player ever to have graced turf moor... im looking forward to seeing him play at the turf. Hopefully we keep him at bay. But what a player.

He'll be chuffed to bits to be seeing Heaton in goal.

King Zlat is one of the greatest footballers of all time, hair like a girl, 6ft 6 and a black belt in taekwondo. What a man

And some people on here argued against him being world class. Idiots

I cant think of many better in my time. And yet heaton thwarted him at old trafford time after time.

tim_noone · Post by **tim_noone** » Sun Apr 09, 2017 11:19 pm

I cant think of anyone in modern times whos gonna have so much presence ,to play at the turf.thought costa was good but zlatan is class!!

I don't know, Kante was something very, very special.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Apr 09, 2017 11:42 pm

He'll have to do something special to beat Fabregas. I've never been as pleased to have seen an opposition player go off. He was a class act.

gandhisflipflop · Post by **gandhisflipflop** » Sun Apr 09, 2017 11:44 pm

Patrick Vieira in 2010 for city was menacing. God knows how good he must have been in his prime.

tim_noone, like I say... I can't see him being as good as Fabregas at Turf Moor. I'm sure I heard a "Thank f*ck for that" from several players when he went off.

Wile E Coyote · Post by **Wile E Coyote** » Mon Apr 10, 2017 1:14 am

he is a special player, unfortunately part of a misfiring ordinary utd side, managed by a tactless clown with no respect for the profession that employs him.
uniteds second in command, Rui Feria, is a double dealing, thief in the night type. A short arsed liar and cheat.
The entire set up stinks, it belittles the great club.
great to see talented footballers, but i hope and pray we hammer them into oblivion.

We face Salford right inside their Euro Quaterfinal .
It's their best chance of Champ's League next year.

They may well scale down their team for our game if it's in the balance 2nd leg.

They certainly have fixture congestion around the time they play us. Some big games there but we play them after the second leg with Anderlecht.

Utd have quietly gone 21 games unbeaten. Didn't know that before this morning.

Hahaha...called joey a cheating two hat. Any way that said the journey we have been on this past 30 years and where we now find ourselves is truly amazing. Going back to the players though yaya toure was the laziest over paid player ive ever seen at turf moor,sure there will be others but he was dire when we beat city 1..0

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Mon Apr 10, 2017 10:09 am

I seem to recall Hazard giving us a big welcome to the Prem after Scottie had done his stuff.

However, Ibra is a powerful, classy, imposing player.

Pstotto · Post by **Pstotto** » Mon Apr 10, 2017 10:48 am

'Graced' Turf Moor??????? Just make sure he doesn't score. I can't deal with that, it's worse than Chick Bates scoring against us.

Has Dennis Bergkamp ever played at Turf Moor? If he has then it's him.

Technically the best player of all time, for me.

Fabregas performance was breathtaking. Simply superb.

His was the best performance from a foreign player I have seen live at the turf.
