I want you to admit that I was right all along. I don't have to look at things with hindsight, because I have the ability to predict events before they happen, such as a defence with a lot of injury prone players suffering an injury crisis, or a midfield made up almost entirely of injury prone players suffering an injury crisis. I see things that people like and Ferguson can't, it's very easy for me to do this, you need hindsight to realise these things, I don't.
So, with hindsight, was selling O'Shea a good idea?
Sneijder has never played for Milan, and yeah, he gets injured a lot, but if we'd had him, we might not have had to play Cleverley in certain games, meaning he would be fit, or Scott Parker, he's not constantly injured, neither is Joseph Barton, neither is John O'Shea, and so on.
RR I generally agree with what you are saying there, but Joey Barton? Come on, be real for a moment.
Barton or Rafael - who's the better central midfielder? Barton or Park Ji Sung? A midfield containing Barton, or a midfield containing Giggs, Park and Jones? He's not an excellent player, he's not even a very good player, but he'd be extremely useful for us.
