I wasn't too bothered about seeing Becks go. I think he wanted to -- and more importantly I think Roy Keane wanted him to as well because of the media circus (let alone Fergie). I'm thinking Keane's been looking a lot happier on the pitch this season so far -- even going so far as to smile during the celebrations when we score... Veron's departure was the more disapointing for my money though: Seba copped a lot of flak for that first disappointing season but it's hard to look good in a team that isn't playing well and overall there were a lot of others who weren't playing at the level required either. In the middle of last season however the wheels were starting to come off again: we'd collected a few major long-term injuries, had not had a good start -- and all of a sudden Seba stepped it up (in tandem with Scholes) to win Utd through the Champions League group stages in a great deal of style. It was from those successes that the unbeaten run-in to the Premier title can be credited to. JSV wasn't bought with the intention of becoming the main provider of 'assists' for goals but he was great at getting the provider away in the first place (assisting the assitors?) -- something we'd been struggling with against the better teams who could not only shut Utd's chances down but the creation of those chances. Veron could put the winger/Scholes away with the space to do something in (which usually amounted to giving it to Ruud). Having said that it's noticeable that Chelski are playing Veron further forward in that roaming pocket role that Utd have made Scholes such a success in. Luckily Dj^2 has shown some flashes of an eye for the similar pass and his distribution is good overall; and while Kleebs is still an unknown you've got to imagine that with being Brazilian he's got some idea of playmaking; but we're still missing that guy with the vision and the ability to instantly change the pace/direction of play again with Seba's departure. -- I've seen things you newbies wouldn't believe.
