Fantastic defender..Great abilty on the ball
Great Reader of the Game..
Scored a Few vital Goals For us..
A Snip @ £1.4 mil..
The only problem that got in his way was injuries.
Hopefully we can get someone as good to replace him such as Hofland..
Thanks.
I think the reason for these players leaving is wages, a big problem thse days is wages of players and at Utd there is a limit of spending on wages per annum therefore to accomodate other players, I think the reason behind selling Dwight first then Di Canio can be bought was to do with the wages situation.
These players have been released because fergie feels it is time for them to move on and get new blood into the team, and I have to agree with him on this one.
I am sorry to see Johnsen go, even if he's been injured alot, he comes straight back into the team and you cannot tell a difference in him, like he's played there all season.
Very consistant and intelligent player.
We definatly need Blanc to stay to help the like of Hofland (!) coming in maybe? and hopefully Nesta aswell to settle in at Utd.
I think we also need a play making forward, someone clever like Di Canio who woud open up defences, because against the like of Leverkusen, Liverpool, Arsenal, we done everything but found it hard breaking down their defences and the people who win trophy's are the teams who can do this.
How old is he?
I think that leaving the Premiership will be a good thing for him, as I believe a league like that is too intense for an aeging player with 'dodgy knees'.
Maybe he'll go back to Norway?? Or maybe even a suffering club in Italy or Spain, like Fiorentina. Or what about the Scottish Premiership?? Or he may even get the chance to go to the USA!
Good luck to him wherever he goes and whatever he does untill he retires.
Or maybe he'll retire know!??
I hope fergie goes for quality, we need someone just as good as Ronnie if not better.
Theyve bought a new young keeper, steele or something, anyone know much about him?
He's only played a handful of games since the champions League final and I suppose it was the right decision to let him go.
Fergie still wants Blanc to stay another year though...
Although how many central defenders we got left now? Its only real Blanc and Brown as recognised ones.
May even need to invest in two central Defenders in the summer.
