Henrik Larsson / Man Utd
Discussion
Strange one as Anelka really did has got/did have the physical attributes to be a legend of a striker - if only he had had it up here (touches head) and didn't have those stupid brothers ... he could have been in the position that Henry is in now at Arsenal - a God.
I remember seeing Collymore when he was at Forest the season they went up from the old League 1, the really old Div 2, and he really was a class apart orm anythign on the field - mind you orest were playing PBoro on the day and Posh were already relegated. It was Forest's last game or so of the season and I remember they took over half the ground and started climbing the floodligh pylons (fans, not the players) and a POSH official tried to talk them down with a megaphone from the centre circle. Quaint!
HE was another one who could still be playing at the top level - had the fitness, had the talent - didn't have it in his head.

I see Rossi is on his way back aswell, not been getting enough games at the Toon. Now he is an exciting prospect, Ashame he didnt get more games there.
IMO, Rossi is a fabulous player. He will get his chance and I'm sure he'll shine.
You know what Lazy, I hope you're right but I have this feeling he's just not going to cut it at OT. We've seen it so many times before with young players showing early promise but not quite making the grade. I hope I'm wrong for his sake but I just don'y know.

Have faith on this one!
Just needs his opportunity and you'll see.

Oh I have faith all right - Man U is one of my religions after all (can you guess what the other is?).
Seriously, I really do hope that he does well, after all it's not unusual for a loaned out player to do the business back at OT - a certain D. Beckham didn't do too badly.

Slightly presumptious! But he probably will.

I know it's a presumption but can you honestly not see this happening?!?
He's gonna end up being another legend for United, in a similar way to Teddy and Eric.
Exciting times !
