How many Utd fans are opposed, and how many are willing to give him a chance?
Redcafe has been down all day for me, it would have been nice to gauge the opinion from there.
Booed every time he touches the ball at Anfield, I expect.
His best form was based around his pace which he's lost, he'll still score but he'll never be the player he used to be.
He'll get a chance from me, and from most I'd expect.
You'll get a few die hard fans that will say he's an ex 'pool player and 'pool fan so won't want him, but if he scores 10-15 goals next year I doubt there'd be many left.
It's a very small risk transfer and could prove to be a very good one.
And from me. I think he'll quickly win over the Utd fans if he plays with real enthusiasm and effort. ie. not like he did at Newcastle.
His record under Keegan was 11 in 17 (two sub), that's top form for most strikers.
He just needs a good manager and good service which he got in Keegan's team. Too bad Allardyce/Kinnear/Hughton/Shearer couldn't do the same.
I think all joking aside, not many Utd fans will baulk at this deal. As long as he gives 100% when he is playing for the shirt then he will be given the chance he deserves. Utd fans have never booed their own and I don't see this starting now.
The more you look at it, the more positives there are than negatives, injuries aside. He knows the league inside out and he has a good pedigree in it. Same applies to Europe. It's a world cup year and he will be out to get into that England squad so you know that when he gets his chance he will be looking to take it with both hands (A Point that I am sure Fergie would have considered)
Ahh screw them, every team loves a Judas

Low risk, not no risk, unless he only gets paid when he scores goals which I somehow doubt
ie. even if he's 'only' on £25k a week, that's still £1.3 million a year he's costing. Not a lot in football terms but not free.
Splitting hairs!
Thats cos he's a toffee
The picture of him in the shirt and with the scarf just looks wrong. He was such a liverpool prodigy it just doesn't look right.
Bruno N'Gotty ?
Yup, but I'm kinda bending the rules...
Edit- Forgot to say, I mean current player.
Edit 2- Not N'Gotty

Current player... still playing for Hull's first team?
I'd have guessed Geovanni but don't think that's right... only other guess would be Bernard Mendy but I only remember him playing for Bolton and PSG before Hull...
Can't think of anyone else good enough =/
