CONFIRMED Andre Brooks sold to Norwich

[ml1997]

He's thinks Rothwell should start every game. Misses Robbo dearly.

I think Rothwell is shite and Robbo was a League 1 player at best.

I don’t rate Brooks as highly as others, but that doesn’t mean I think we should be a team full of reliable plodders who like a pint.

Good wingers like Brooks have peaks and troughs. Great ones do not.

Even Yamal has been inconsistent through the world cup. It's part and parcel of being a winger. We certainly can't replace Brooks with better for £8m. Or even a winger more consistent, unless you mean consistently ineffective.

Brooks is the most overrated player I’ve seen at United. He’s a good, streaky championship winger and that’s it.

And in what world is £8m peanuts? That’s a very good championship player in his prime or two good youngsters ready for the first team action.

We needed to sell someone and out of the kind of expected prices and players involved (I’d say Peck for £12m, Brooks for £8m, Seriki/ Hamer for £5m) it was th best option.

Christ!?! Brooks over-rated and Peck for £12m????

Did you watch any of our games last season?!?!

My brain hurts. It's 'fans' like you that mean we don't deserve nice things....

Mate I can guarantee I’m younger than the vast majority of people here and can’t remember the 90s, or even the naughties.

Well, at least that...

...explains this nonsense

Brooks is the most overrated player I’ve seen at United.

I reckon over the last 50 odd years ive been watching united there's a few hundred that were more overrated than Brooks. Apart from Ohare and Bamford he must have been close to player of season. Just think of all those who played along side of him last season and count how many of those were/are vastly overrated.

Why?
