Player Valuation: £8m
Really? What did he do wrong? Really important player for us in the 80s, must have played every position on the field, except as a forward.Alan Harper

Couldn't agree more with this. I'm always surprised when I hear anyone talking fondly of Bilic. The man was a leech and bled us dry when we really didn't have a pot to urinate in!! Think he got so many red cards so he didn't have to play many games.Slaven Bilic, the ultimate in mercenary footballers.
With a salary of £27k a week , he started 30 games in 2 years. He claimed he couldn't play due to injury and spent 4 months in Croatia recuperating yet he managed to play for the national team during this time.
Eventually we paid him off to the tune of £1m then he signed for Hajdul Split a couple of days later.
Each to his own but Danny boy stuck one in against the redsh1te, so can't understand why you would put him in. I bumped to him a few years ago in London, where I work and we had a chat and he was very decent. You may have had a different experience of course.McMahon for sure.
Pip Neville who has returned to his annoying Man Ure loving self.
Moyes for his treachery regarding his move and attempted hijack of our players.
Barmby for choosing the RS instead of staying with us.
Lescott for jumping ship - look where he is now!
Dan Gosling for thinking he was better than he was, he has found his level in the Championship.
Cadamarteri - not quite sure why, just think he's a bit of a tool.
usually hate blues who became reds, however, i cant bring myself to hate ol Abel !
Whats to hate!!!
wouldnt have much love for Dave Burrows
I am in the 100% support while they wear the RBJ but ongoing respect depends on many things which means it can be lost no matter how much I loved them. Most recent example for me personally as a player being Snidey mikel. Wish failure on very few ex blues but lost all respect for him with his play acting against us. There is doing your best for your current team which is correct and being a snide. He crossed the line. Nice OG last season though.
Secondly re Moyes. I believe we owed him a massive debt in the early years and always hoped he would take that final step towards getting us a trophy. No probs with him getting a move after a long shift here. But IMO we had become Moyes FC in his eyes and the patronising way he tried to put martinez down was an absolute disgrace especially after he went mad at Mark Hughes for talking us (and him!!)down over lescott. RM was not a universally popular choice remember and was under a lot of pressure. Did not need previous boss here talking him down like that. And as for the "I'd do what was best for the players guff"..... Do me a favour Davie!! Don't actually wish him ill though just not do better than us.
Moyes did well for us maybe ------He did much much better for himself.Fair points those mate but don't the very happy memories that mikel gave us all while he was in a blue shirt outweigh him being competitive for another team after leaving us?
About Moyes - in hindsight the whole departure was distasteful and his comments came across as a lack of class or dignity at the time. In retrospect we now know the pressure he was under having failed to sign players for Man U - so the comments you mention probably reflect his real frustration at the time rather than trying to put down Martinez? I'd imagine Moyes probably has a lot of professional respect for Martinez. I was angry like most when the 'facts' about moyes leaving became clearer. I wasn't certain about martinez before he came - but in hindsight what do i know about football management???. As people i only met Moyes once in person and he was pleasant but dull company. Likewise I've only met Martinez once and he is was interesting and intelligent company. Personality aside David Moyes did well for us considering where we were as a club and a team so I don't wish him any ill will but i was happy all the same about the way things worked out last season for us and Man united.
