    players that we've sold in the last 6 years....

    Why is it that nearly all the players who we've sold in the last 6 years bar van persie seem to be doing shit now?

    Fabregas- not as good as when he was with us for sure.
    Hleb- Declined immediately after he left us
    Flammini- Major injury problems after he left us when he was in his peak
    Alex Song- I saw him as one of our best players but he's turned into a bit part player for barcelona
    Nasri- Definatley no where near as good as he is not then when he was with us.
    Bendtner- Had a few ok seasons with us and hasn't scored anywhere near the same amount of goals in a season as he did with us.
    Kolo Toure- turned to shit after he left us.
    Ade- turned completely utterly crap after he left us.
    Aliadere-played ok in an arsenal shirt and never really replicated that same sort of performance anywhere else.
    Phillipe Senderos: Turned into shit.

    Lots of players looked better for us as we play a team game, where all players move for each other and play to each others strengths. They all have decent technique, so combined they become effective.

    Take them out and ask them to fend for themselves, and you get what you see.

    That said, many of them have gone on to win things with their respective teams.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Arsenal was quite clearly the ceiling for most of those players. If you're not a successful team though you'll always have trouble convincing players they're better off where they are, as we've found out.

    Clichy's gone on to play better that's for sure. He was wank for us for a couple of seasons.

    I don't think any player has gone on to play better after us other than Clichy.

    Aliadiere has actually been awesome for Lorient this season. Well, he's scoring quite a few goals. A late bloomer if there ever was one.

    I'm not sure if Clichy's any better, it's just that City are better defensively than us overall. Clichy is always gonna Clichy.

    Clichy still has his brain fart moments where he does something utterly stupid for no reason. Hardly improved on his time here.

    RVC? His overall play has actually been scrappier at times, like United themselves. His scoring rate hasn't been as high as it was in his last few years here either. He's just part of a successful team now and he's won a TROPHY though, so I suppose that's all that matters.

    Apparently the Barca fans were booing Cesc last night and he's been subject of a lot of debates on their forums. They are saying he's slow and adds nothing to their team.
