[Archived] Man United Sign Larsson

[Ricky]

On loan from January

Just being reported on BBC

[Presty On Tour]

i posted a swedish link on the montella thread a few mins ago, didn't know what it ment though as im not a swedish translator!!

all i could make out was larrson-manks

[bigfilbar8]

When we tried to sign him he said it was too cold in Lancashire.

[modes98]

Why? It's not like they haven't got the cash or ability to bring someone else in.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Not good enough for Ewood?

[FourLaneBlue]

When we tried to sign him he said it was too cold in Lancashire.

I'm pretty sure he never said that. Do you have any evidence or a link? Why would a Swede who had spent years in Glasgow and was also looking to return to Sweden before the end of his career ever say it would be too cold in Lancashire?

There's a thing called the urban heat island effecct with cities potentially being a few degrees celsius higher in temperature than outlying areas. Even the laws of ohysics are against us

Sorry! Don't known what I did there!

[AxesFirstTouch]

He'll probably score more goals on loan then Chavchenko does all season.

[herbergeehh]

Chavchenko? Never heard of him, is he new?

[modes98]

It was in the LET, when he left Celtic he was looking for a move and turned us down because of the climate. Don't blame him, it's alot hotter in barca.

[FourLaneBlue]

Fair enough, it just seems surprising to use that excuse instead of ten others as to why to join Barca instead of us.

Was he actually quoted as saying that or was it just some crappy excuse from Souness?

Why? It's not like they haven't got the cash or ability to bring someone else in.

on the other hand it proves without doubt that the American takeover and influx of debt on the club has taken far more than any of their fans could have imagined.

A different view would be this.....Torres was being touted as a 21million pound signing in January and instead they get a freebie

The latter

[Billy Castell]

I swear you use the thread search for anything containing 'Souness' Jan. He's not interested in having a night in with you Jan, just let it go.

Look

He asked a question, I answered it. Factually and accurately. Henrik Larsson never spoke about Blackburn Rovers.

Don't think you're being clever- you aren't.

Wasn't trying to be clever Vinjay MK2, just cheeky. You are so brave hurling insults over the internet. I tire of your petty insults, and constant sniping of Souness. Do you EVER say anything that isn't related to our former manager?

Anyway to go back to the topic, this was very surprising to me. I'm guessing Ferguson could be saving all the money for Hargreaves, or doesn't have much money in the first place.

Although I don't have to justify myself to the likes of you, out of the last 10 posts I made, 7 had nothing to do with Souness (all being about Feyenoord- because, hey, I was there!).

[Billy Castell]

I must have missed those posts. I do hope you had a good time in Rotterdam anyway.

I did- it was much fun!

[Ricky]

Instead of both reporting each others posts try ignoring each other. It's much easier.

[tcj_jones]

Hahaha, you actually reported each other? Come on guys, get a life!

Really shocked about this Larsson news. I reckon he'll be a hit at United, which is a shame. I guess now it makes a bit more sense that Ferguson is willing to let Smith out on loan.

It's a good opportunity for Larsson to show all the nay-sayers who said he couldn't score goals in England. On the other hand, I hope he bags zero goals and United finish potless again.

[American]

So, you are saying that 30% of your last posts have been about a man who hasn't been employed by Rovers in several years?

[Simon Says]

On the other hand, I hope he bags zero goals and United finish potless again.

Normally Matt I would agree with that.

But I never, never thought I would say this. But I would prefer United to win the league. Not because I have any affection for them, but because my hatred and contempt for Chelsea is even greater.

[thenodrog]

Obvious to a blind man on a galloping horse that MU need cover for Saha if they are serious about a title bid. The celtic game proved as much.

All they need now to displace Chelsea is a midfield playmaker of real quality and experience to press Carrick for his shirt. Especially one thats local and coming to the end of his contract at his present club and to date has not been offered a new one would be perfect for em.
