king henrik has signed for man utd!!!!!   loan starting in january.

im not happy though i suppose this will mean he can prove all the english doubters wrong by scoring a barrowload!!!!
unfortunately this will mean man utd win the league.  ah well.....

discuss.....


raab

To late to stop them going out the Champions league, but he will ensure they win the league even at his age!

Of course Raab he has already proved all his English doubters wrong by scoring for fun in the best league in the world,
"The Spanish La Liga".

isn't that the league that forlan does well in, despite being a bomb in the english league? its one thing scoring goals in minor countries, but in the premier league, its a different story. Still, at least if he fails the celts can blame it on age.

No need to get defensive Totalise, I'm basing my statement on facts. I realise that the EPL is of a very high standard but it is not as good as the Spanish League, trophies won in Europe speak for themselves, the UEFA coefficient (which is highly biased towards the big 5) also speaks for itself.

This gives you all the info you need!

Yawn, Larsson has scored goals in World Cups, European Championships, Champions League, Uefa Cup, La Liga I'm sure the over rated over hyped Sky league will not have him quaking in his boots.
If you knew anything about Larsson you would know that his game is not all about scoring either he is a great team player who puts a shift in every time he takes the field.

Thierry Henry after Champions League Final

"People always talk about Ronaldinho and magic and that, but I didn't see him today -- I saw Henrik Larsson. That's where the magic was," Henry said.

"Two times he came at us with those little short runs. When he started buzzing around the box he changed the game, that is what killed us. Sometimes you talk about Ronaldinho and Eto'o and people like that, you need to talk about the proper footballer who made the difference and that was Henrik Larsson tonight," he said.

Ronaldinho - "With Henrik leaving us at the end of the season this club is losing a great scorer, no question. But I am also losing a great friend. Henrik was my idol and now that I am playing next to him it is fantastic."

To be fair Henry & Ronaldinho hadn't been on the Stella all night  ;)

wasnt it well played when he won the treble in 99?

id probably say well played for the double, the Treble was just lucky dave!

 il say well played Fergie again if u manage to knock Chelski and Mr Mourinho off the top.

Come on Chelski! ;slavedriver;

Hes a good signing, but Man Utd will fade, Chelsea will rise, and after all Man Utd still have all the hard fixtures to go.

I hate them both, but Man u more, so COME ON CHELSKI  ;slavedriver; ;iagree;

I really don't believe man u will win the league but it is hard to be sure. You need to get some more midfielders otherwise you will be knackered by the end of the season.

 Ronaldo, Giggs, Scholes, Carrick, Fletcher, O'Shea, Park, Richardson, Smith. I think we'll muddle through in midfield.  Someone like Larrson is perfect for us. an experienced super sub for when  ;shitfanhit; . looking forward to him in a Utd shirt.

after the 1st goal went in on Wednesday I thought we looked very much like contenders for Europre this year and very much a serious threat for the Premiership.

Adam, you overestimate your squad, if not your team. Look at your subs at Celtic Park, Celtic bought on subs who could change things, Man U brought on Evera (sp?) and O'Shea. Larsson was and probably still is  a better player than any striker you've got, it just depends on him getting to play enough for you to realise what we, Barca, and everyone else are missing.

FFS for the last time. LARSSON IS GOOD, BUT HE IS NOT GOD!!!

This is turning into a pet hate of mine, celtic supporters are more bloody short sited than Liverpool fans!!!

Larsson better than Rooney, please stop taking the piss.

Rooney has yet to prove he is a truly world class player, though there is no doubting the potential.

Larsson has scored in three world cup finals - including going as far as the semi-finals - has won the Champions League, played in the UEFA Cup Final - scoring two goals - and won the Golden Boot. His goal scoring ratio for Sweden over 90+ games is better than Rooney's for England.

Bear in mind that while Rooney plays as a '2nd striker', Larsson played many games for Sweden as a winger.

Rooney so far is more famous for getting sent off, or getting off with grannies, than he is for actually scoring goals on the truly big stages.

Two players at opposing ends of their careers. One who HAS done it all. One who has the capability to do it all.

Ferenc Puskás achieved a lot, i would still be worried if he was signed by Man Utd.......

Indeed. Fortunately Larsson is a bit more mobile.

Mind you, Puskás is in the right age range for Rooney.

My mistake - I missed one word - TEAM. And he is a better team player than any other top striker I've seen.

Im saying I like Larrson and think he'll be an asset.
better team player than Paul Scholes though?
not sure there is such a thing.

 ;iagree;

mmm not sure about that... henry scored more league goals than anybody else last year and also had most assits in the prem

Point proven I would say, but will leave it to someone more eloquent.

When this wee man leaves your country today, just bow your head you were never worthy.



and before you ask i'm a rangers fan.

and I'm Man Utd and I've said, I admire and respect Larsson. I was sure he'd do a good job for us and he did. I didn't expect him to rip up trees and again, I don't think he did. We've been stronger with him and we could certainly do with him staying but you have to respect his decision.

in the link you put up, this hack is comparing two 21 year olds who are widely expected to make a huge impact on world football to a well respected older player who's certainly made a good account of himself. We'll see how many medals Rooney and Ronaldo have on their mantle pieces at the end of their careers. not only is he comparing players at opposite ends of their careers, he's not even comparing like for like position wise. Ronaldos goal tally is impressive for a wide midfielder and Rooneys job isn't to score 20+ goals a season. it's to score 10 - 15 and to make another 10 - 15 for a out and out striker.

Premiership WAS worthy of Larrson and he could have had a great career in the premiership if he'd chosen to. Not many managers would turn him away Im sure. A young Larsson-esque player is definitely what we're looking for.

Adam, I think you completely missed the point about what that reporter was trying to say. Lampard complaining about 100k a week? younger strikers only interested in the most money and girls? that's not what a true top class professional is about. Larrson got paid, did his job and that's it. He was completely proffesional in everything he did. you never saw him in the papers for anything negative. And he didn't just do it for the money.

that's what separates him from most of todays footballplayers (with the possible exception Of Steven Gerrard and the Neville (God help me) brothers).

It would be wrong to say I've been won over by Larsson as I've always rated him, but he has shown beyond a doubt that he could have done a job in the Premiership at a top club.

Does anyone know what Larsson's goals/games ratios were like outside of Scotland please?

Thanks.

the guy spends more time talking about Rooney and Ronaldos abilities in comparison than he does talking about professional attitudes. about 5 or 6 paragraphs at a quick second glance. If he was writing an article about profesionalism and not being in the papers for negative stuff there's plenty of Utd players that fit the bill.

pretty sure I got the point.
